This part in particular impressed me. Refreshing to hear a pol speak in such definitive terms:

Truly spoken from his heart. Yes, he has had his freedom stripped. He may have some strange ideals but all in all, he is a decent guy.

Yeah, but you didn't say it in the poll, and that's what counts


And now, we are down to a few Nostrodamusses (sp):

Hillary Clinton

Mike Huckabee
bookworm_020, danurve, geetrue, Kapitan_Phillips, Sixpack, The WosMan, VonHammer

John McCain

Barack Obama
badhat17, Biggles, Blacklight, Bort, DAB, Fish, GunnerGreg, headcase, Lagger123987, Peto, RickC Sniper, Stealth Hunter, Zepheron

My pick for vice president is Dr. Condoleezza Rice ...

You can all you want but Ron Paul has no possible chance of winning enough delegates to secure the nomination. At this point he's just spending his supporters money.

Well, I voted for Fred, I guess I never expected him to BECOME President, I just wanted him to be the next President.

But I'm fine with McCain.

OBH would be an unmitigated disaster.

Mccain = "100 MORE YEARS in iraq"
Clinton = communist
Huckabee= same as mccain only anti illegal immigrant amnesty...
Obama= same as McCain, not gonna change anything, its gonna stay the same way it is now ( declining economy etc..)

Still not going to say who I'm voting for because I'm still not positive. But I'm enjoying this primary bout very much.

My current stance (from an independant/objective view):

Democrats will sweep in November regardless of who Earns the candidacy. Voting turnout has been better for them and the number is growing. Some precincts in Wahington reported 100-150% greater turn-out than 4 years previous. They are motivated while the Republicans are still wishing McCain to be more conservative. Republicans still appear to be divided even though it's pretty clear who thier front-runner will be. I'll bet a half-bottle of Gallo White Port that when the time comes, the Democrats will not be as divided...

I believe Republicans would have a better chance if they would embrace a more moderate point of view. At least for this election. Independants are not looking for Conservative values. They are looking for someone who can reach a majority of Americans--not just those on the extreme left or right. Independants are naturally more moderate and will turn away from extremes this year. Especially the extreme right. For the Republicans to push an extreme conservative position is to lose Independants--and the White House.

I believe there are some candidates running who truly are good people. Currently, there is only one left that I don't feel like I can trust to not be self-serving. That's not to say that I think they would all do a great job...

I'm glad and encouraged to see the young voter turn-out this year. Hopefully, thier enthusiasm will be rewarded with a strong future in a revived country.

Thankfully, we can stop talking about Ron Paul now.

Watching her on tv after these back to back wins of Obama she looks drawn, lost, worn out and stunned. It is clear she never ever saw this coming - such is her and Bill's ego.
Obama has won more votes than her.
Obama has raised more money than her.
Obama has won more states than her.
Obame has more pledged delegates than her.
Obama draws bigger crowds than her.
Obama has more influential endorsements than her.
And so it goes on.



Re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic ain't going to cut it.
Hopefully, this will close the chapter on the Clintons. I find them deceitful, shallow and egotistical to extreme.

It is going to be very interesting to see which way Edwards will go - will he throw her a life-line? Doubt it.



Interesting article.

"The biggest shock was that she had to lend her own campaign $5m (£2.56m) in January after Obama raised $32m seemingly effortlessly from small donors that month. She kept the news quiet before Super Tuesday lest it gave the impression that her candidacy was floundering. Her rival, whom she chided in a debate for keeping an untidy desk, had broken the Clintons’ mighty $118m money machine.
The plane flights where she mingled with journalists, pretending to be their stewardess and serving them peach cobbler, came about only because she could no longer afford a separate private plane, it emerged last week. A look at her financial returns revealed that $18,551.80 had been spent on an “event” at a Chicago steakhouse, $500,000 on parking fees and nearly $4m on political consultants in the run-up to Super Tuesday.
Obama’s aides stepped up the pressure this weekend by challenging Clinton to release her tax records and reveal the source of her personal $5m loan. “For someone who claims to be fully vetted, hiding a campaign loan from voters until after Super Tuesday and refusing to release your tax returns until after the primary doesn’t seem like the best way to prove that there are no surprises for the Republicans to find once they start digging,” said spokesman Bill Burton.
Obama warned last week that Republicans would find a new “dump-truck” of allegations to unload on her should she win and said: “I’ll just say that I’ve released my tax returns.” The Wall Street Journal has already drawn attention to the peculiar deal whereby Bill Clinton is set to receive a payoff of up to $20m from his friend Ron Burkle, his West Coast bachelor buddy, for severing relations with the Yucaipa group of companies, which are partly linked to the ruler of Dubai. Clinton believes that Obama will be “swiftboated” by the Republicans if he wins – a reference to the campaign to denigrate John Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, at the last election."
