Here's hoping both of your parties can field quality candidates that
can run on the issues instead of trying to win with sickening, sleazy

chuck, now you're hypothetically speaking...

Tim, the answer to your question will be the next big election issue
for the supreme court. Both republicans and democrats broke party
rules by making their primary in FLA before super tuesday. The
democratic party has decided to punish FLA by not counting its
delegates to the convension, the repubs did not. Thus, the repubs will
get delegates, the dems not, until the Clintons drag the party all the
way to the cheif justice.. Just like getting military votes thrown
out, trust me this is not over yet...

Just a simple guy who likes to play with sharks...

Hope you're right. There's just something wrong when a political party can
deprive any voter of the right to have his vote counted in the selection
process. Might even be unconstitutional.

If it was the election, definitely, but in the primary? I think the
parties hold all the cards. Unfortunately, I think they can set the
rules as we are not electing a President, just a party's candidate.

Well, I suppose they could give themselves a boost by heckling people
at the polls and pulling republican signs out of peoples yards.

hey! it's worked in the past hasn't it?

As for Hillary's win in Florida, it gives her campaign a boost now and
maybe more later. The fact that she got more votes than anyone else in
either party speaks for itself.

I still would like to see a Hillary-Barack ticket. It would totally
motivate the Democratic base, and pull in the majority of independents.
I think such a ticket would result in a slaughter of the GOP for the
presidency and for real control of Congress. It's going to take that
sort of control to try to undo the horrors perpetrated on this country
by the Bush Administration.


Hillary is probably unelectable in a national election. Those
elections are decided by swing voters, and with Hillary, you either
love her or hate her. She's not going to do well with swing voters. If
the contest is between her and McCain, I think you'll see a lot of
moderate Dems voting for McCain, because there is no way they will
vote for Hillary if they have an escape route that is at all
palatable.






Your guess is as good as mine on this, but I think a Hillary-Barack
ticket would be unstoppable.

Barack-Hillary would be better.

*I think Obama-Richardson would be a strong ticket. It adds someone
with substantial experience and expertise in foreign policy, and has
the added advantage of not including someone very divisive near the
top of the ticket.


I kind of like Richardson, the only thing I see wrong with him is he
was soooooo deep in Billarys pocket, I don't know if he could climb
out...

Are we going to hear the "gravitas" chorus from all of the political
pundits just like we did in 2000 when Bush picked Chenney? You do
realize what you are saying is that Obama is an empty suit and can't
handle the job without adult supervision.- Hide quoted text -

That is one reason I could take Obama over Billary....

Not saying that at all. And when they picked a baby sitter for GWB,
it's too bad they settled on Jeffrey Dahmer.- Hide quoted text -
