Not good. Not good at all.

wait - I rescind my first statement.

I did predict the rise of McCain a long time ago - maybe there is still some hope for me

I still think Obama will pull through in New Hampshire.

Lots of votes still left to count, but the ice queen's lead is (too) strong.

I would argue that both are true.

And the main people who want Hillary to win...are Republicans.

They grossly overestimate her electability. It's unreal.

If Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, even Romney could beat her.

I would flat out abstain.

agreed - I to think she is the most beatable of all the viable Democratic candidates

Shit, if it comes down to McCain vs. Clinton I'd have to give serious thought to voting for McCain

You go ahead and do that. What are you voting your vote for Osama on? Change, lol. He is not even running on anykind of a platform.

If the media does its damm job and digs into Obama, instead of treating him like a "rock star", then Hil will get the nomination.This guy has no platform as youandme mentioned, his book is full of shit, and the church he goes to is racist against whites. He had to tell the pastor there to back off so it would not become an issue. If this was a white guy or even Hil, he be cooked.

Really what is up with that, if you can't see CNN siding with Obama than your blind. They even refused to call, only after the AP called it did their tune change somewhat.

Tonite we heard NOTHING regarding why we should vote for Obama, except for the "teacher pay stunt" that wins applause in the chant for future generations and gap education.

Tonite we did hear Clinton's plan in bits and pieces, her strong arm resume of what she is capable of doing without the help of congress. (That is right Obama made some remarks that without the help of the congress would go nowhere....lame appeal to the blind)

Just wait, now that Clinton won this round....Oprah is going to come on the trail, and publish some more stories in the O magazine.

Also I predict Obama's wife will be invited to the show to talk about life on the campaign trail.

I would imagine there are alot of people voting against Hil as opposed to voting for anybody. Why Romney?

If I remember correctly, you're supporting whichever pro-Bush Republican emerges from the primaries, so of course you're thrilled that Hillary has re-taken the lead on the Democratic side.

youandme · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2008, 08:39:02 PM »

Oh I made the assumption since you were so against Hill you were for Obama. Assumptions are the mother of all ----

I read Obama's book in Barnes and Noble walked away thinking the same thought I had on my mind the night he won his senate seat, "How in the hell did people vote him in..."

headhuntersix · « **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2008, 08:40:52 PM »

Yeah...I don't listen to Rush and Hannity much, but they concentrate why to much on Hil and Obama is getting a pass by the Right wing attack dogs. These are the guys that generate stuff that the national media picks up on. Alot of people will think its because he's black.....who cares.....thats not it..he's an idiot/parrot without an original idea.

Exactly. She has zero chance - and rightfully so - in the general election.

Even at this point, we have to ask whether Edwards' votes could've swung it for Obama...or vice-versa. From where I sit, we need Edwards to make a strong showing in Michigan and I would love to see him win South Carolina, but he's going to need a lot more camera time in the next 2-1/2 weeks. It's my understanding that he's positioned to do well in Nevada.

Why Romney?

Because he's a devout Mormon and no true Mormon should be a part of the GOP.

Well I've prepared myself for a Dem president a long time ago. Just not an Obama president.....I'm not thrilled with anybody right now. I can live with Hil

headhuntersix · « **Reply #21 on:** January 08, 2008, 08:44:14 PM »

The Mormons are solid Repubs....or Conservatives. Bush does not represent what any true Conservative believes....

From where I sit, all the mormons I know are conservative.

I would love to see Edwards take S. Carolina as well, that would be something, I like his platform and his overall personality fits very well in leadership.

I heard just recently that it's Obama who is heavily geared up for Nevada???

thank you. every now and then, i think we see very eye-to-eye on things.

Maybe someday, you'll have a weak moment and admit 911 was an inside job, who knows.
