You'd think a crack political operative would know that, wouldn't you?


My theory is the RudyHaters are going through the stages of grief...some in denial..anger....bargaining(I will vote third party)....it's both amusing and sad at the same time.

They are going through the stages of grief that he will be the next POTUS.

Pres Bush figures were double digits from almost the beginning. I signed on to his campaign in Nov 1999 and he had just ran and won big for Governor of TX in 1998. I have no idea about Clinton.

I do know that with all of our states moving primaries up to early February that candidates are in the race sooner and polling is done much earlier and much more often then I have ever seen. Dynamics have changed dramatically from even 2000.

Hillary really stepped in it today, when she was ranting about how the government should confiscate oil company profits to invest in alternative energy sources....

I wonder if it would be OK to confiscate the profits from people who trade cattle futures. When I heard her today Hugo Chavez came to mind.

I wonder how this guy will feel when he finds out there are all these guys on FR hung up about men dressing in drag?

it's about a perception of a lack of gravitas


Gravitas is a Latin noun that, as a modern loanword, conveys a sense of substance or depth of personality.

In an ancient Roman context, the word gravitas communicated a sense of dignity, seriousness, and duty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitas


I don't think you understand the term gravitas. I also think you way underestimate the class and compassion of Red America.

Dude, you just keep digging yourself deeper and deeper.

I'm fine. It's you guys who are pushing liberals on FR, trying to make the GOP put on a Schwarzeneggar, Bloomberg, Pataki, Romney, Giuliani liberal face.

Let me ask you: Why do you think America needs a second liberal party?

I love the pics! As for going door to door, I sold Avon in a rough neighborhood for 9 years. While I rarely had problems, you have to be careful these days. Always be cheerful when they bark at you ;-D

I think the opposite. It makes Rudy hip. It humanizes him. It suggests that he is willing to get laughs at himself, for a good cause. The folks who are uptight about this kind of thing, are ever thinner on the ground. No candidate trying to siphon votes from Rudy is going to get near this one, for that reason, unless well, maybe somebody runs, who is apparently not. I will leave it at that.

That's pretty funny, coming from someone who is trying to push a pro-abort candidate on Red America.

Listen, no offense, but I'm just not interested in discussing anything with somebody who thinks that if I don't agree with them I'm a liberal.

It makes me sick and all you want is somebody to post to you so you can pontificate to make yourself feel all puffed up.

Hahahaa, no charts tonight, but the rainbow pride parade(?) endorsed by Rudy and the lovely Donna Hangover kept popping up for the last couple of hours.

Hope your kid did well : )

You know what I think? I think they know that they are in the throes of losing their chokehold on this party.

Now I'm talking about the far right wing here; not the rest of us.

You know, the ones who know you have to compromise on some things to get other things.

Yeah, folks tend to take it hard when they see the party they've labored for for decades go Judas on 'em.

But, fortunately, we're still a year from the first primaries. There's still time for Rudy McRomney and company to finish their inevitable meltdown.

The polls say about 20%-25% of the electorate are "liberals," and on FR it seems to be pushing 40% anyway, maybe more. Who knew?

Hate to burst your bubble -- knew you would say that but where I live is like any small town Oklahoma only bigger. You are absolutely naive in what you believe small town America is all about.

The town I was referencing to begin with that had the contest -- 5400 people live in that town. If that is not small town America, I don't know what is.
