I can't think of a better reason to choose a candidate. But wait, with 20 year old females in the mix, Bill is sure to visit, as many times as necessary.
Repubs get a nominee who will likely need a new hip.
Since we are going to use the American Idol model to select the President this year, the question is, when will Simon show up?
Hopefully something new and shiny will come along to distract them. Doesn’t take much.
Obamamania. If you play his speeches backward they say.”I buried Hillary”.
Well, I can remember in 1968, when I was an 18-year-old college freshman, and we all thought that Eugene McCarthy was just like totally groovy.
That's the dem model, if McCain allows it to dominate the race, he'll lose. Obama is cute. If the GOP, sorry McCain, the GOP is on vacation, forcefully present the issues, he can win. Obama is vulnerable there. A post of mine from another thread as to what you get with Obama, based solely on previous Obama statements. It's a radical agenda that can be defeated. The racist nature of his religious belief system is another issue, a post on that here

You can find more at IVI-IPO 2004 US SENATE QUESTIONNAIRE or any of the issue sites. He has positions. Unlike Hillary, the Republican candidate simply has to capitalize on them.

Sort of like the 1 or 2 sentence vanity posts on FR.
Keep asking these lemmings what his accomplishments are in the past five years. Don’t let them tell you he’s full of hope to change the future, or he’ll change the future of hope or he hopes for our future to change, or he brings needed change for our future to hope.
Stick with it. Ask them what his accomplishments are! -Wb
Which Hollyweird dingbat (IIRC it was either Janene Garofalo or Whoopi Goldberg) who gushed “It’s not cool to be against Bill Clinton”.
Guilty.
LOL!
For the pic: guilty!
You beat me!
Then the limos drove up right in front of me (for his departure) & I staked out prime turf right by the limo obviously intended for the Candidate, pressed up against the metal sub-panel on the driver's side. Sure enough, back out of the building he comes a few minutes later & hops in the (open) limo to greet the crowd (& shake his fist at the F-4 aircraft flying out of nearby Davis-Monthan AFB for Vietnam). That's how I got to shake RFK's hand.
He would have won that nomination & probably the election...but, in Los Angeles a few weeks later, Sirhan Sirhan changed all that...
Obama's life is in grave...Arkancidian...danger...
Bring back the poll tax. I told my young son yesterday that only property owners should be allowed to vote. heh
That’s one positive coming out of the Ron Paul fascination alot of young people seem to have. Sure, a decent amount were just anti-war and knew the Dems only used it for political advancement. But it seemed to me (and I live in the Bermuda Triangle of college towns) that more and more of the Paulites were understanding the core libertarian principles of small government, personal responsibility, low taxes, free markets, ect. And as Reagan said, “Libertarian is at the core of conservatism.” So while I’m sure the youth vote will always lean left, Paul’s contrarian (albeit sometimes illogical) ideaology is planting seeds that one day may sprout the next Russell Kirk or George Will.
No kidding. I don't know what has happened. When did we become FreeVanity.com?
