5 Reasons Hillary ought to have The Fear.

Clinton looses support, using $5,000,000 of her own money to finance campaign.

Say goodnight, Hillary.

Why Lawrence Lessig chooses Obama.

{grammarschmack}I'm pretty sure what she's doing is 'losing' support - and that the last thing she's likely to do at this point is 'loose' her support.{/grammarschmack}

You know, and while Obama seems a good candidate, i don't want him to win. Don't get me wrong, he would most likely make a fine president, one that could change the country for the better. But Bush and his bunch are leaving one very nasty legacy which will have to be dealt with. The next president is going to be one who gets to do the dirty work of cleaning up the huge mess. The US needs somebody who is tougher and has experience to do that job. Obama seems to much of an idealist to be very effective now.

But of course, that's just a humble foreigners opinion.

Could be. But then, you could also be describing Dick Cheney: tough as nails, decades of experience, and not an atom of idealism. It just seems like we already tried that.

Everyone is entitled, imho.

Ugh, yeah. Of course i'm referring to a new president that isn't part of the current administration and will actually do something to fix the mess left by Bush & Co. So i guess that rules out republicans.

I guess what I'm trying to suggest is that the mess we're in is actually premised on the cynical world-view of the current administration. Perhaps idealism is precisely the cleanser that is needed to rub out the stain; it's not without political currency on this shrinking planet.

"No cynicism can outdo life." - A. Chekhov

I don't think that the mess is entirely the responsibility of any ruling party, class or despot. That are societal factors which coalesce into the shape of a ruler or rulers, I don't believe it happens the other way around entirely.

e.g.

I know you weren't talking about the cynical abandon of the current admin, Wanderer. It's a question of how you define realism. All I'm saying is, depending on how you look at it, realism and idealism are not necessarily opposed.

Stop saying that. As pointless prophecies goes, that one registers extreme. If she does win, ho-hum. If she doesn't, yippee.

Either way, you get no doggy biscuit for spitting in our wind.

CNN says Romney is "suspending" his campaign.

*dances*

You come out of retirement for this?

You can do better than that.

Heh...

Romney's out, Giuliani's out. Huckabee is clinging on... so unless there's a miracle it's McCain.

McCain v Hillary is the nightmare contest, IMO, since Hillary's presence will drag a heap of troglodytes out from under their rocks, and McCain is managing to keep up the moderate facade so far.

Although... (from a friend on another board):

Rush Limbaugh declared that a McCain triumph would "destroy the party." James Dobson, leader of Focus on the Family, said that he will not vote for McCain under any circumstances. Ann Coulter allowed as to how she would rather vote for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton than for McCain.

Former and current Republican congressional colleagues joined in the attacks. Former House speaker J. Dennis Hastert cited what he termed McCain's lack of party loyalty by labeling him an "undependable vote," and Sen. Thad Cochran (Miss.) raised questions about his temperament for the Oval Office.

That's why Obama's going to win.

"I hate the gooks," McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. "I will hate them as long as I live."
