Fred is WAY too close to McCain - 100 votes. Ugh.

I also find myself more likely to watch CNN than FoxNews. I hope their ratings tank.

Did Obama get the record 150k turn out they were expecting? If not, then don’t expect any of the kids to vote when it comes to election day. They love the attention of the parties, but when it comes to taking out the garbage, they have to be threatened. :)

Well listening to Elizabeth Edwards introduce the ‘second place winner’ in Iowa who was outspent by $$ by the frontrunner and the next President of the US John Edwards. Eegards he thinks he won this.

“...So this little stretch-marked cornpone is either lying, has a closed head injury, is a complete ignoramus — or all of the above.”

Only Ann could say “stretch-marked cornpone”. Too funny.

Anyone who has ready your posting knows either you are totally politically clueless with no knowledge that spending all your time screaming “Hate the GOP” propaganda, is the same thing as actively working for the Democrat Party, or you are a liar hiding your real political allegiances in the hopes such a lie will give you a fake aura of intellectual credibility.

So which is it? Are you a political fool or a political fraud?

This is a feisty bunch. I doubt they’ll settle down regardless. Much as FReepers might not like it, the GOP has been returning to it’s roots for several years now. Those roots aren’t particularly conservative.

They are a political party that has to attract enough votes to garner a majority. FR is a lot more conservative than America and forgot that.

When so many here decided GWB was not conservative enough, it was telling. 50% of the nation already hated him for being so conservative.

Tonight was a reality check. At least Hillary got the snot beaten out of her! See ya on the NH thread.

I know. I switched to CNN but had to come back to verify it was as bad as I thought.

Hannity has been told to ignore the conservative, I’d love to call his radio show tomorrow and let him have it.

BTW: Rudy who?

You should have been on that other thread I was on yesterday (or was it the day before). I went through all that stuff. You can probably still go back there and cover all the comments if you want.

The shortened version of it is simply that the *first criteria* that I have for elimination of a candidate is that he has to be a Christian. I said that on a Thompson thread, since I listened to Thompson’s statement about his faith and determined that he doesn’t know what a Christian is (and neither the Gospel) and therefore cannot have become a Christian. So, I wasn’t voting for Thompson on that basis.

And then I said that all the other political matters come after that first criteria.

And then, I also commented on Carter (as someone asked the same thing, almost). I say that I don’t vote for any Democrats. Carter would be eliminated right there.

As far as Reagan, I would vote for him for sure.

And “that’s the way it is” on this fine night in Iowa...

Regards,
Star Traveler

FROM TOWNHALL.COM

Huckabee Chairman Ed Rollins Trashes Romney
Posted by: Jonathan Garthwaite at 4:52 PM
Amanda Carpenter files this report from the ground in Iowa:

At a hole-in-the wall Des Moines eatery, Mike Huckabee’s campaign chairman loudly bashed their top rival presidential candidate Mitt Romney and made several predictions to two national television reporters.

I overheard Rollins’ conversation while dining in a restaurant called Winston’s located close to Huckabee’s Iowa headquarters and took notes on my computer. Below is a compilation of what I heard:


-Rollins called said Fred Thompson was “as disgrace as a candidate. Fred has been a friend a long time, but has never converted a single vote. No one is taking him seriously.”

Stay tuned to the Townhall blog for continuing coverage of the Iowa Caucus tonight and Friday.

Coming in 3rd must be a severe blow to her chances, no matter what kind of happy face she puts on it...she will be in full panic mode tomorrow...

I'm 95% sure now that I will pull a RAT ballot next Tuesday to vote for Obama.

Anything I can do to make the wheels fall off soon will be well worth it...

So did the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX against the ‘85 Bears. How did that turn out?

And Ohio State scored on the opening kickoff in last year's BCS Championship Game.

To: All
Just got back, eastern Iowa, two precincts in one large hall, mostly seniors & middle aged, not enough young people, a few though.

Affluent part of town but other towns close by a little moreso, pockets of it in other parts.

My precinct 49 McCain, 44 Romney, 40 Huckabee The other precinct in the same hall, 53 Romney, 39 McCain,, 21 Huckabee, 24 Giuliani. Couple abstainers. Didn't get the rest. Paul got 20 on one side, Thompson didn't do well, no one even spoke for Hunter. Total of the two precincts, 97 Romney, 88 McCain, 61 Huckabee. I neglected to jot down Guiliani on my side, so maybe added with the other side he took 3rd.

Stopped at the store and sounds like Obama was cleaning up at my regular polling place which Dems got tonight, I guess it was packed and should have had traffic control which was disheartening, was told Republicans got good crowds all over.

Anyway, sounds like Obama is cleaning up here. News at 10. We'll see how Des Moines and rest of state stacks up when we get them.

Now I'll back track and see what else is being reported.
