Well let me tell you all what I think. First we all know that there is still some time left for things to come out but let me tell you what I think now.
Obama, and hillary....are killing eachother and ruining the Democrats chance. It has been the nastiest slugfest of all so far for the whole group of those who ran or are running in 08.
Mitt Romney and John Mccain seem to be getting along pretty well, and so well that I believe Mitt will be the vice-pres in hopes of securing a 2012, OR 2016 after mccains 8 year.
Typical democrat disaster is what I see. A divided party that falls, while the republican candidate in the end rallys strong to win the election. Happened before!
Obama...I like the guy. Many say he doesnt have the experience. Well, he DOESNT! doesnt mean he wouldnt do a good job though. Hillary, man she has evil eyes. Her whole sniper story pissed me off...total lie. The worst thing was how her campaign folk tried to say "well what she MEANT was there was sniper fire going on in the mountains close by"
TOTAL Fin LIE, how dumb does hillary think we are?
Anyway, Hillary wont win. Its that simple and everyone knows she wont deep down. Obama WAS really on fire...a blaze but it sure is simmering down. Mccain..its like "eh i guess so" ......but you know what? that "eh i guess so" is going to be the majority of the vote. nobody is really on fire for mccain. However, a black president with the name osama hussien, and his pastor..wow what a creep. that guy is also building a 10 million dollar mansion on church funds outside of chicago. What a loser...can you believe that?
so here we have mccain and romney...two white men one with military and political experience, and the other a business mastermind who could actually save the economy.
war with mccain is the downfall....oh it could get nasty with iran too because we all saw him singing the song about iran.
i predict...mccain and romney. hold me to it...because im 99% sure im right. many of you hate that prediction, and i understand. emoitions get in the way of reality sometimes.
personally i dont care to much for any of them on both sides, and this election has caused me to make up my mind on becoming an independent. i cant claim either party anymore. its that pathetic, that sad, and that childish how they act.

It is going to be Obama vs Mccain with Mccain winning in a landslide. All the head to head matchups in Ohio has Mccain beating Obama handily here while Clinton and Mccain are in a statistical tie. Numbers are similar in Pennsylvania. Can't look at national poll numbers. If the Dems cant win OH and PA they lose the general. It is as simple as that. Could lose in one of those and win FLA but got to win two of the three and I think Obama cannot do this. The national polls mean nothing!! Its all about the electoral college!

John was my first pick to. I know that the media screwed him but you know his message still got out people just did not hear it or really want it at the time maybe.
People live in a very little make believe world because if people really wanted change and an end to war they would have pciked the man that said he would fight to do that and he plainly spelled out how he was going to do it. Plus the man has a track record on fighting againstr the odds and winning.
I remmember Gore spelled out very plain how he was going to protect social security and make sure it did not fail in a national debate. I have heard people to this day that said he offerd no ideas on the subject and not a few but lots of folks.
You folks wanted Bush and nbow you have him. Good luck america the captian has sure stopped this run a way ship.

Not one of them is going to do anything about Medicare, Social Security or any of these other failing entitlement programs. In fact, all of the candidates are likely to further increase entitlements and socialistic programs. They know (or should know) that we're on track for a financial train wreck, but the only thing that seems to matter is "giving" things to the little people (us) so that they can get elected.
So, how about socialized medicine or a moratorium on foreclosures or another bailout of the people that live along flooded rivers with no flood insurance or more FEMA trailers for the residents of New Orleans? Something for everyone, that's what the idiot politicians are promising!

if they don't do something about Medicare or Social Security? this country is done. toast.
and you can call them entitlements or whatever, but 95% of the people in this nation are only one car accident away from needing either or both of those to live.
all those "entitlement programs" were born out of the Great Depression, and in case you haven't noticed? we just missed another one by a few hours. the corporations are getting "entitlements" too...

You guys don't get it. Like all the new reality tv shows out there a contestant will be coming back after being eliminated.
Forget the dream ticket. Thats nothing but a pipe-dream ticket.
John Edwards is the chosen VP for both of these candidates. (Why else has he so determinedly stayed completely out of the limelight while Obama and Billary bash it out. He knows that both are courting him and now is the time to stay silent and see who wins.)
And when Edwards gets on the ticket again expect a few heads to turn and listen.
McCain is toast. He just doesn't know it yet.
And PM I'd say 200B to salvage irresponsible lending firms and a 3Tril war put on the VISA out rival the financial implications of both Social Security and Social Medicine.

Hillary is basically done, she cant even pay her bills and she is screwing people over who helped her just so she can make more commercials.
"Some of Clinton’s biggest debts are to pollster and chief strategist Mark Penn, who’s owed $2.5 million; direct mail company MSHC Partners, which is owed $807,000; phone-banking firm Spoken Hub, which is waiting for $771,000; and ad maker Mandy Grunwald, who’s owed $467,000"
Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months — freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles.
A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community — and anyone else who will listen — to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails seeking payment of outstanding invoices. One even got no response from a certified letter.
Their cautionary tales, combined with published reports about similar difficulties faced by a New Hampshire landlord, an Iowa office cleaner and a New York caterer, highlight a less-obvious impact of Clinton’s inability to keep up with the staggering fundraising pace set by her opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Clinton's campaign did not respond to recent, specific questions about its transactions with vendors. But Clinton spokesman Jay Carson pointed on Saturday to an earlier statement the campaign issued to Politico, asserting: "The campaign pays its bills regularly and in the normal course of business, and pays all of its bills."
Just like with other businesses, it’s common for campaigns to carry unpaid bills from month to month, but in Clinton’s case, it also could serve a strategic purpose.
The New York senator’s presidential campaign ended February with $33 million in the bank, according to a report filed last week with the Federal Election Commission, but only $16 million of that can be spent on her battle with Obama.
The rest can be spent only in the general election, if she makes it that far, and must be returned if she doesn’t. If she had paid off the $8.7 million in unpaid bills she reported as debt and had not loaned her campaign $5 million, she would have been nearly $3 million in the red at the end of February.

The presidential campaign of presumptive Republican nominee Arizona Sen. John McCain reported $4.3 million in debt at the end of February, but only $1.3 million of that was in the form of unpaid bills to a dozen vendors. The rest was a bank loan, which the campaign says it paid off last week.
It’s not just the size of Clinton’s debts that’s noteworthy. It’s also that her unpaid bills extend beyond the realm of high-priced consultants who typically let bills slide as part of the cost of doing business with powerful clientele whose success is linked to their own.
Some of Clinton’s biggest debts are to pollster and chief strategist Mark Penn, who’s owed $2.5 million; direct mail company MSHC Partners, which is owed $807,000; phone-banking firm Spoken Hub, which is waiting for $771,000; and ad maker Mandy Grunwald, who’s owed $467,000.
Clinton also reported debts more than one month old to a slew of apolitical businesses and organizations, large and small, in the states through which this historically expensive Democratic primary campaign has raged

Yet another reminder that Clinton is not ready to deal with a fiscal crisis. If you can't even keep your own credit card paid how the heck do you suppose you are ready to tackle the nation's?
I no longer apologize for being an out and out Obama supporter. I agree that a good race needs to be run but Hillary and her campaign exemplify everything I want controlled in Washington. Cronyism (attacking Richardson for having his own opinion), Fiscal Irresponsibility (see above), and truth embellishment until the truth is meaningless (you know what I'm talking about).
McCain is a good guy. I honestly believe that he wants what is best for the country. I wish him well and am in awe of what he persevered through as a young man. But he is a war hawk and will only increase the scope of the battle being waged in the middle east right now. He is also old enough and has shown enough lapses I worry that if his mind begins to weaken it will be concealed from the public and that his staff will start ruling our nation through him rather than being directed by him.
IMO Obama is the obvious choice between these three.

To my mind CCM this is one of the best things you could do. Both parties reach toward the center in order to court the independent voters. If there were more registered independents that there were affiliated voters I believe that would encourage everyone in an elected office to think things through personally rather than relying on the party to put out a position statement to stand behind.

Amen Lockman. Stop making politics a career and let's get it back to service to the country. That's why we had a PRESIDENT Washington and not KING Washington.
