Among likely voters in the Republican primary, John McCain was the choice of 55 percent with Mike Huckabee backed by 27 percent.

I’ve had that thought also. The Republican race is a foregone conclusion at this point with no real conservative in sight. It seems as though the Democrat race is also a blowout, so I can’t really affect that either way.

Nope, did not hit the post. I’m running Cable and it has been coming back with a Data Base Error type message occasionally. I simply refreshed the screen and it completed what was only one Post Command hit but actually posted it twice.

“Well, FYI, after church this morning (just about across the street from TC Williams High School in Alexandria, VA), the streets were packed with people, VA & DC plates, coming to hear Obama speak. It was like a rock concert was coming or something.”

You don’t meant it, really?
Never have so many driven so far to hear one so false speak so well and say so little.

“I think four years of Hillary would be less dangerous than Hussein Obama.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have a notion that if Obama were to be nominated and pick someone other than Hitlery for VP the Clintons would make sure that he loses in the fall. Of course that would probably leave us with McCain who some see as even worse than Hitlery. Dang, where did I put that bourbon?

No question, Hildabeast is the easier candidate to beat. Obama is developing a fanatical following based on emotion. Emotion is the main force which drives liberals. Also, no one can solidify the GOP base like Hildabeast. Obama is such a “nice” guy, heck even some Republican voters will vote for him.

Correct. But keeping hitlery and slick out of power is more important to me than splitting hairs between McCain and Huckabee. Therefore, on Tuesday I'm all O!

I think that means that Hillary's core is ignorant Caucasians, like the trailor-park dwellers she and Bill like to attack. Ironic, isn't it?

Basically the Clinton core base is down to feminists, lesbians, union members and trailer-park trash. That basically explains why they did so well here in Massachusetts.

Well since he is not that, you had better rethink your strategy for defeating him.

Hint: You need a vision and something positive to offer for the American people.

I’m thinking of voting for Hillary on the theory that she will be easier to beat in November <<<

I see it as just the opposite...Hillarys base is made up of the white elitists who would never vote for a black man...They just want to "feel good" by saying they’re not racist because they want to help the po’ po’ black folk.....I know many that think that way!!

If I vote in the democratic primary it is possible my vote would be challenged if I’m a delegate to the state senate convention, or a delegate for the party leadership vote.

And since it appears Hillary is losing by large numbers, and my single vote couldn’t get her the win, I see no reason to sully my record with a vote in the democratic primary. (I voted in the democratic primary in 1988, when Bush already had it sewed up and the democrats still have some sort of contest. I either voted for Al Gore or Jerry Brown, I can’t really remember which, and maybe I didn’t vote at all, it was so long ago).

The white elitists are all for Obama. The Clinton base is older women, lower income, union types and feminists.

Obama has nothing to offer except radical lefty policies and ties to muslims and arabs.

Here’s a thought problem for you: What will be the reaction of the Black Community Coast to Coast, when Barak Obama wins the popular vote, and the Hildebeest wins the nomination at the Convention, because of all those Super Delegates??

Does the Black Community have the guts to boycott the Democrats, and write-in Barack Obama??

If Hillary doesn’t win the Black vote, Hillary doesn’t win the election...
