Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
You know...I'm watching poor old Gordon Brown, being in charge and having to deal with all the crap handed to him as he takes over from Blair (and Blair was smart enough to leave before the July seventh anniversaries)...I have to wonder just who on earth would even want to take over and try to clear up the mess of the past few years.

Unity '08
If you're sick and tired of the "same old-same old" of both major political parties, you might want to take a look at Unity '08. You have the opportunity to cross party lines to nominate a "dream team" for President and Vice President to run next year.
How about a Ron Paul/Mike Gravel combination? Or an Obama/Fred Thompson combo? Or a Paul/Kucinich matchup?

Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
Barack Obama beat Hilary Clinton and John Edwards in the Iowa Democratic caucus today -- Obama got 37%, and Clinton and Edwards each got 30%.
In the Republican caucus, Mike Huckabee had 34%, Mitt Romney 25%, Fred Thompson 14%, John McCain 13%, Ron Paul 10% and Rudy Giuliani 4%.
Hilary better be nervous..

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
It's unfortunate that solid, moderate, experienced candidates like Richardson and Biden never had a chance. And regarding Hillary, will her loss in IA really have an impact? She was projected to lose for a while now, so no surprise. Meanwhile she's 7 points ahead in New Hampshire and 21 nationally. Her folks will use this IA loss to claim she's the comeback kid when she wins in NH.* I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. *

As a former Iowan, I enjoy all the buzz over the caucuses. I participated in them in 1980 & 1984.

Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
I'm happy for Obama's "victory" in Iowa. He comes off as so much more likeable than Hillary. His message is also much more inspiring. Watch these videos of them following the IA caucus to see what I mean:

Also, cow-tipping almost certainly doesn't exist. Just for your info. I can't address the God-fearing, corn-husking, snow-shoveling parts of your diatribe.But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
Hey, Hawaii! I'm surprised you guys aren't commenting on this thread. Is it politics fatigue, not liking any of the candidates, or disappointment over June Jones's resignation that's got you guys so quiet? I'm also surprised that Miulang is so quiet.
I'm interested in hearing your views on the candidates.* I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves. *

Re: The 2008 Presidential Elections
It wasn't much of a shock to see Hillary win the NH caucus. A few months back she was at 76% while Obama was at 11%. Hillary actually lost some votes (if the pollsters were accurate). Reports are saying that if it weren't for those old biddies, Hillary may have not had enough votes to beat Obama. I've also heard reports say that her emotional outbreak was a plan that worked! But, I dunno.
Nevada caucus is on the 19th. They don't really talk much about it, but I'm going to be there.A proud sponsor of
