No, I'm not mcgarret. How can you tell by the subject line? I don't use them.

So Nevada is trying to ace New Hampshire out. It's Ok by me!

Then there is the talk of population shift to the mountain west and that was a counterbalance to the sunbelt. Perhaps but that might backfire. We Mormons pretty much own the mountain west.

plig:

Thanks for the posting on Obama. How true it is doesn't matter too much in view of the political consequences. If he is a Muslim the US won't want him. If states he's left Islam that makes hime a target as an apostate, whci to them is worse than most things.

I do hope the Democrats niminate him. It will be the kiss of death for their hopes of winning the election.

Well, it's no surprise that the 'madrassa' story turned out to be complete shit:

The Mystery of the Nevada Election Has Been Solved!!!

The party�s Nevada caucuses � slated for just five days after the traditional kickoff event in Iowa and three days before the primary in New Hampshire �

It wasn't clear earlier that Nevada uses the caucus system, like Iowa and not the primary system like New Hampshire.

I think it's a good idea to move a western state up in the calendar--just not before the caucuses in the great and sovereign state of Iowa, whose caucuses by state law must be the first in the nation. Ptui on Nevada! They are only second. Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!

What's a sock?

I used "mith" because I was too darned lazy to type the whole thing out.

Nope what you have is just me, the oldest surviving Canadian curmugeon in Korea. I came at age 60 and I'm still here teching uni at age 67.

I haven't been here before because I tried to sign in a couple of years ago with the name "I hate Canadians". Dave Sperling wouldn't let me have it. Then when I tried to sign in with a different name things locked up.

All is now love and kisses.

Micro-managed everything.
Balanced the budget.

Do not try and tell me balancing the budget is a Republican policy.

Ronnie Reagan won the cold war. Bush Sr. would have had two terms except for the jug eared little Texan from the "Reform" party.

Bush II - anything would be better than Gore the bore.

Kerry the wannabe Kennedy who was even more boring than Gore.

As far as Obama goes all the Republicans have to do is use his full name Barrak Hussein Obama every time they refer to him in any way. If you want a black president go for Condi Rice.

Sorry to intrude on the liberal love fest on this thread, but I think you're sorely mistaken if you really believe Clinton or Obama is going to win the nomination. Just what we need: Bill running around loose in the White House, except now with much less to do. Then again, this might make for some great late night show fodder. Then once again, that probably won't happen since almost all these shows are hosted by liberals.

MilwaukeeDave:

Why should anyone vote for Obama? What's he accomplished to warrant my vote? And please do enumerate in your response.

He both benefits from being the latest black sensation, and loses because of the same. He can't have his cake and eat it too.

Another liberal poster once again demeans his countrymen by declaring that we're not ready for a black president. According to whom, I would ask? Powell might very well have locked up a Republican nomination had he chosen to run. But he put his family needs first. And if Clinton does get the Democratic nomination, I'd wager Obama has more than an outside chance of being her VP--unless, of course, the party stalwarts decide he's too much of a risk (it will depend on his poll numbers in the early primaries rather than whether they're willing to abide by some higher principle of egalitarianism, bet on that).

My man is and has been John McCain for some time. He's got more integrity in his pinkies than Clinton has in her whole body.

Wishful thinking on your part if you believe I'm using two usernames.

except for the fact that he'll be an 82 year old Ex-POW if he were to get elected, I along with many others don't think he'd make it out alive.

It's still fair game since it's an obvious alternative to Hillary.

The GOP runner I'll rule out early is Guliani.

He wouldn't dream of running were it not for the praise he got during 9/11. But that goes hand-in-hand with the rase Bush got for handling 9/11.

I think that's pretty empty praise. Would any elected leader of any political stripe have done something terribly different? What exactly was it that he did?

Meanwhile, he's got a bucket of fish to fry with his own private tabloid affairs and record for trying to shut down art exhibitions. May have conservative appeal, but not broad.

On the other hand, Hillary is in a teflon pan. You can't lay Bill's philandering on her. The flag burning issue is an example of her following in Bill's footsteps to the middle ground.

I don't necessarily think she fits my ideal choice of who should be elected, but I have to say that I thnk she's the most electable woman in history.

SIDE NOTE: Is it possible fr Bill to be president again? Seems someone told me you can be elected to a third term if it's not consecutive.
