I’m not voting but I find it unfair to request someone bow out of any political race especially when there has been this much back and forth. Personally, I think Hillary should have saved her money. I’ve said Barak will be president since McCain “won” the GOP nod.

I honestly don’t see this as damaging to the DNC as most pundits claim. It’s a great public relations moment and both Hillary and Barak have the opportunity to make their planks more concise and clear. I believe most uneducated voters are going to vote Dem simply b/c of our current president’s many gaffes. If the GOP wins: A. I will be shocked…shocked and B. the DNC has a bigger problem on their hands than deciding on an electable individual. Namely, survival of the party. This is practically a hand off year for the DNC. Everything will be blamed on Bush for the next eight years anyway.

My dollars worth.

And Charlie, unless things have changed drastically in the eight years since I graduated, there is no shortage of beautiful women at Harding.

Leave the thinking to the big boys.

The latest Quinnipiac head to head poll at the state level with a hypothetical Obama vs. McCain race showed Obama behind by just 1 in Ohio and Florida, and ahead by 9 in Pennsylvania. Not bad for Obama who is still in the middle of a bitter primary without having had a chance to unite the party yet. His support will only go up as Clinton supporters come around to support him against McCain.

BTW, Obama can’t win. Too many racist Democrats. (including Mexican/Hispanic Democrats) They won’t vote for him. Go back and search youtube for the Nevada Democratic debate and listen to the Hispanic’s respond to Obama’s performance in the debate. They will not vote for him and several of them almost admitted it on national tv. So, Obama will lose Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio at a minimum, and without those states no Democratic candidate can win.

Then what will the Democrats do? Mass suicides seem likely based on some of the left-wing fringe blogs I’ve read lately…..

We’ll be hearing plenty about an “over the horizon force” or a “residual force” come post-nomination time. It’s the most practical (and responsible?) reaction to those who support responsible withdrawal, those who support continued occupation, and those who support complete withdrawal. Remember, you heard it here first.

Many will cry, I suspect.

I’m finding it difficult to have nice things to say about Obama today. This is going to be more difficult than I thought. I really can’t stand that guy.

I’m intrigued by the way both races played out. On both sides you have a candidate with supposedly significant appeal to moderates despite the fact that McCain is pretty conservative and Obama is pretty damn liberal. Conservative usually beats liberal in American politics, but I think this year might be the exception. Obama hasn’t defined himself in a substantive way (outside of a few issues), and that needs to be his first priority as the nominee. I’d suggest a rightward tack on Iraq. I can hear the howls from the lefty activists already….
