QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:42 PM) Why don't you tell us who we should vote for then Vote experience, ethics, honesty, and goodness. "Reporting for duty"

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) I wish he'd drop out now because he'd give the out of touch not white guy a chance at beating the out of touch white woman. did you know that the non white guy was a lawyer for a slum lord? he was. just shows what kind of person you would vote for.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 04:07 PM) Just another out of touch old white guy running for power. Good riddance, Fred. When do you think the Dems out of touch middle aged white guy running for power will drop out of the race? Do you think the out of touch white woman running for the Dems has a chance to win?

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) read my previous post. it pretty much sums up my opinions on her. I read it and agree with you. She is the scummiest politician I've ever seen.

Watched the CNN debate last night. Hillary Clinton really bothers me.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) What exactly do you plan on doing with all of the military, military personal, military bases, military equiptment, military spending etc? You are talking about taking 20% of spending out of the economy. Take 20% out of your paycheck and tell me what happens. Pointless military bases in Germany do not add much to the economy. If the money has to be spent, then I would prefer we invest it somewhere useful. Invest in infrastructure, technology, almost anything would be a better investment. Still, spending needs to be cut, a $9,000,000,000,000 debt is bad for the economy. Obviously, all the cuts should not be military or foreign aid... but some things in both of those categories need to be scaled back. I'm all for cutting pork and some useless social programs too. But the way government is spending, things are going to get a lot worse.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 04:05 PM) His campaign is bad because he is a bad candidate. Rudy Guilliani just isn't a Presidential person. he pretty much proved that with this campaign. It's close call for worst GOP campaign...him or Thompson?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) One thing to keep in mind is that 9iu11ani's "Focus on Florida" strategy was never actually his strategy until he was left with nothing else. He put a lot of time and money into New Hampshire. But the reality was, every time he spoke in New Hampshire, his numbers went down. Being that he had been mayor in a state in the NE, focusing on New Hampshire made sense for his campaign. The problem is...he's a horrific candidate and might well be the only man alive who could be worse than GW. His idiotic "Focus on Florida" strategy came about because that was about the only other place where he had moderately good numbers once the folks in New Hampshire got fed up with him. His whole campaign was bad. That includes his debate performances, speeches, tv interviews, issues he put he the most emphasis on, ect. Still, no way he is worse than John "let me tell you a story about the mill" Edwards.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 11:36 AM) Rudy really screwed himself. Too bad. I liked him. I'm a big McCain fan though. Hopefully he can hold off the Cadillac Salesman through Super Tuesday. Yea, I really hope Romney doesn't get the nomination.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 21, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) Guiliani is an idiot and well out of his league. Goodbye and good riddance, on a national stage. I don't think he is an idiot, but he did run an idiotic campaign.

http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNew...=22&sp=true Looks like McCain may take New York http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content...ublican_primary Romney by 5 in Florida

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 08:54 PM) After today, John McCain has 32 delegates. Mitt Romney has 72 delegates. Romney's lead is actually going to grow today. Clearly, today is going to be interpreted as a huge win for McCain. Just watch. It is a huge win for McCain.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 07:19 PM) And I think Huckabee is more likely to endorse Romney. I would put the chances that Huckabee endorses Romney at 0%. No chance. He doesn't like Romney, he would definitely endorse McCain.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 06:16 PM) how does that make sense? I have no idea. I guess Obama is claiming he got 13 delegates as well. http://dyn.politico.com/playbook/

Does Ron Paul even given a speech after each states primary results are announced? If he does, it's pretty lame that no one is covering his 2nd place speech for NV

CNN says that Obama is currently set to receive 13 delegates from NV, Clinton 12. seems like good news for Obama

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) The Democrats in Nevada do not release actual vote totals for some reason. The number you're reading is "the number of delegates elected to county conventions that each candidate will receive." according to CNN. The caucus turnout is being reported as somewhere near 115,000, so the actual votes for Hillary has to be about 55,000 or so. that makes more sense

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) Clinton up 51-45 with 90% reporting. So it was close, but Clinton wins. If Obama wins SC as big as the polls indicate, then its still a dead heat as far as I can see. The real story here to me is the GOP... Romney with 51%, the next best 13%?????? That's an ass-whoopin'. And here is the really amazing part - RON PAUL IS IN 2ND IN NEVADA at 13%, WITH 95% REPORTING. Paul has more votes than H.Clinton in Nevada.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 05:08 PM) Which is what a lot of us have been saying since 2000. And every time we did, we just got ignored. And the people making them just happened to always be sending decent lobbying checks to the party in power to make sure that nothing was ever fixed. Some of us kept saying..."You know, eventually, just by accident, there's going to be one of these E-voting machines that totally screws over the Republicans in an election just the way that the paper ballots screwed up the 2000 race in Florida"...but every time someone brought a bill forwards regarding it, enough lobbying dollars came in to stall it. And county after county just kept buying the paperless electronic machines, often with federal money from the Help America Vote Act from 2001. ES&S basically bribed their way into getting a big government deal.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 04:56 PM) Oh how sweet it would be if somehow the fact that the Republican Congress adamantly refused to deal with the voting machine issue in this country somehow managed to wind up putting Huckabee as their nominee. I'd get what, 2 "I told you so" statements against the Republicans in 1 day. A lot of those electronic voting machines are poorly designed. Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University tested them and found a lot of flaws. Could easily produce 10% no vote error in an election. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8...;show_article=1

CNN is reporting that the electronic voting machines broke down in McCain heavy districts in South Carolina. The limited paper ballots ran out, voters turned away from polls. Ouch odds on Huckabee claiming divine intervention ?

I'm predicting a 5 percentage point win for McCain in South Carolina. Huckabee second.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) Clinton leads by five points with the early returns. This could officially be the worst general election ever. Romney vs Clinton? yea, that would suck.

wow, WAY more GOP voters in the Nevada for this. Romney could get more votes than all the Dems put together, Paul might get more votes than Clinton.
