Clinton not such a lock

I wish she would leave and go back to the place that she was hatched.

I'm not ready to predict anything yet, it's still too early. Regardless of who the dems put up, they're horrible.

From what I understand Obama spanked her pretty soundly at Iowa, so she is obviously not as "unbeatable" as some would have you believe. Judging from the way she sniped at him at the New Hampshire debate I'd say that she's a little more concerned about her win prospects than she used to be. All in all this tells me that the voters aren't buying her masquerade as a "moderate", they see her for what she really is. I'm not comfortable with the idea of someone as green as Obama taking the nomination either, but at least he'd be the lesser of two evils.

I went to the courthouse (home from college) one year to vote absentee. Two old codgers sitting on the bench at the courthouse looked me over and saw where I was going, one of them pipes up and says "Boy, you gonna get *poop* on your shoe either way you step."

I sure don't want my president bursting into tears and telling someone they hurt their feelings.

I don't think Obama would beat McCain.

Not one person as President has ever or will ever please everybody in this Country. We have a system that has chosen the lesser of two evils for Decades and the citizens can only brace for the worse situation possible. Bush has almost managed to get his approval rating so low that a Republican can actually win with the promise of changing what has been done.

With that sunny thought, I can actually see this Country going through a term of severe unrest and upheaval over the next 10 to 20 years. If we get to the point of another Civil War is debatable, but the tension among the people sure is building.

I wonder if that was calculated to get sympathy and not genuine?

I agree with HH too. Everything in life runs in cycles, it's just too dang bad we only really have 2 choices when it comes down to it for pollitics. One group holds and office for a while and people are ready for a change.

There really isn't much separating the two parties IMO other then a symbol. Take all our money, tell us how they saved tax payers XX trillions by either raising or lowering taxes, "they" will get more jobs in the US of A and more exports, less this, more that, blah, blah, blah...kiss babies, save the old folks, save social security, fight terrorism.

And you know what it don't matter whos in office we are still doing pretty good as a county. Sure we have lulls and booms but that is life regardless of who is in charge. We still live in the best dang county.
