“Just suggesting that reliance upon a person’s inexperience when they have virtually unlimited access to seasoned ‘talent’ might not work.”

Hell, even relying upon great experience and unlimited access to seasoned talent, doesn’t guarantee success with a presidency. Reagan won by a landslide and still couldn’t get everything he wanted.

according to exit polls in Maryland

So I presume...they are from those voting the Democrat ticket.

Stunning. How does a man who’s come out of nowhere, done nothing and said nothing cast this kind of spell over so many people?

What the hell is going on here?

I found someone who named one accomplishment of his. He quit smoking.

Maybe.

It’s the democrats. They are all for form over substance.

Don’t give up on America just yet. Look at the republicans, we voted for McCain. Not because he is conservative, but because he is a man of substance, for all his flaws.

There will be a lot of america who will compare a man of substance and a man of style and choose correctly.

It’s just unfortunate that our man of substance isn’t also a conservative. It’s going to be very hard without the base.

Meanwhile, Virginia offered an excellent first real look at McCain/Huckabee in a two-man race, and like I expected, McCain wins.

I think Romney would have won Virginia if Huckabee had dropped out instead. Some will fault Huckabee therefore for not dropping out, while others will praise him for “saving” us from Romney.

Huckabee isn’t still in the race because he isn’t a quitter, he’s still in the race because he doesn’t know when to call it quits.

I’m curious. All night I’ve been hearing that Clinton is going after the ‘important’ Hispanic vote in Texas. What do white folks think about that? Is she gonna walk over you to get to the Hispanics? I’m just wondering how bold this bi$ch can be about splitting the races in order to get votes.

And what is their voting clout in Texas? Are they major players? Thanks.
