Jeez SB, Seems I quote you more than anyone else!  Not sure if you meant that as a compliment or not. I meant it as "I'm not trying to debate you on everything you say, but I seem to be." I hate dirty campaigns it makes it hard to vote for someone who runs one. McCain and Huckabee didn't sling mud at each other. Romney was an arrogant bastard that makes snide comments. I'd probably vote Hilary over him. Foster and Oberweis are fighting in Illinois and since my local news is Chicago's I get all the ads. They are both trying to make the other guy look bad and all that does is make both of them look bad. And that sort of comment is exactly what I mean. Because she's smart, aggressive and doesn't take any crap from anyone, she's labeled as "unfeminine". Yet these are qualities that are admired in a man. Yes, for men it's masculine, macho. In a woman it's "butch". It goes like that both ways. What do you think of when you think of a feminine man? But I haven't heard or seen anything that leads me to believe that the Majority of people are judging Hilary based on her sex.

At the end of the day, the important thing is that Bush's reign will soon be over. You mean that tap-dancing fool who doesn't know the price of a gallon of gasoline?? Not soon enough. I have to tell you, not to hijack this thread (well, only for a minute), but his response to that was such a slap in the face. With people drowning to pay their energy bills and to commute to work every day, how could he be that oblivious??

SC, don't even say it  He's rich and isolated from regular people living regular lives. He's so out of touch with what's going on in "the real world"

LN, I do think so. When she was First Lady, remember all the lesbian rumors?? And now that she's running for office, she's labeled unemotional. However, when she had a catch in her voice one night (and it wasn't much more than that), it was blasted all over as "Hillary's breakdown". I don't think she'd be labeled as unemotional.
As for Huckabee and McCain, why would Huckabee bother? McCain had such a ridiculous lead over him, there was no point in taking swipes. Hillary's in the fight of her political life, and she's doing what she feels she has to do. Not that I think it's the smart thing to do, but I believe that's her motivation.

I don't hate Hillary, either. I just think she will unify the Republicans and, if the nominee, will be tougher for the Dems to beat a very mediocre Republican nominee. Many Ohio Republicans switched to vote as independent on Tuesday for Hillary, so they could try to get her as the Dem's nominee. Back to my earlier point re: McCain's age, I did not mean it as a putdown per se. But I would not, will not, and have not voted for somebody that old to be president. In addition to the physical problems that Sicilian Babe mentioned, there are serious worries about his mind slipping. I hope McCain does many photo ops and links himself more publicly to George Bush. That can only help whoever the Democratic nominee ends up to be. A comedian I heard on the way to work had a funny dig on McCain: "Tell us what is was like to actually sign the Declaration of Independence for our country." What Democratic Party candidate doesn't stand a real good chance of uniting the Republican Party? However, I just heard Ann Coulter on MSNBC state again as she did on Sean Hannity's show that she thinks Hillary is smarter than McCain and more conservative.

Far be it from me to agree with Ann Coulter (she's a walking, talking excuse for assisted suicide if ever there was one), but Clinton probably is more conservative than McCain. Considering how William Buckley HATED Coulter, you're not the only one. What I don't get about Hillary supporters is, they blast Bush (rightly) for the stupid bullshit in his White House....yet Billary has bullshit follow them like moons to planets. Besides, Hillary/McCain...that's two Republicans right there.

Oh yeah, President Bush.

He's rich and isolated from regular people living regular lives. He's so out of touch with what's going on in "the real world" You could say that about all the Congress and Senate.

So I heard this is gonna come down to superdelegates no matter who wins what I heard they might do the Michigan and Florida primaries over again. I heard some commentators rumbling over the possibilities, and I think it would be a terrible mistake for the DNC if they did this. The decision was made prior to any of the primaries to strip these states of their Democratic delegates because they moved up their primary election dates against the written policy of the DNC. Whether that was fair or unfair is certainly debatable, but the Party set its rules, and the candidates understood this and ran their campaigns accordingly. To change the rules of the game in the middle of the game is patently unfair, especially if the reason for the change is because the race is rather tight. By suddenly giving the right to these states to hold second primaries with a reinstatement of delegates gives the appearance that the DNC is looking to bolster the prospects of Clinton. Florida and Michigan knew they were risking their eligibility to seat delegates when they moved their primaries to a date earlier tha 2/5.

Anyone see Larry David's blog in the Huffington Poat? I loved his response to the "red phone" ad, that Obama should respond with a picture of Hillary, with a voiceover saying, Does anyone want this nut answering the phone? He's a riot.
