OBAMA FUCKING WON

[Platinum Pete]

I am sad to see Biden drop, I was so hoping he'd get 3rd and push Hilary to 4th. I nominate him for VP, Sec State (which he has already turned down), or Speaker.

[Sirshredalot]

For fuck's sake, if I have to tolerate a goddamned Huckabee (OR Romney) v. Edwards choice in the next presidential election, I'm gonna be pissed off beyond belief. Fuck.

Repeat after me...



OH CANADA!!! La la la la la la la!!! OH CANADA!!!

or something like that. They don't really care if you don't know their anthem.

Yup! as long as you hate bush and love beer and maple syrup, you can come.

Really!? If one of the current repubs gets elected, I'd be happy to learn the anthem and even play hockey!

I tried curling once! I even kinda liked it!

I don't know, but the thought of Mike Huckabee as president scares the hell out of me. What the fuck is going on in this country?

I predict Obama gains momentum. I really think he'd make a stronger candidate than Hillary.

Huckabee is a fucking freak. The thought of him as president scares the shit outa me too. I'm really hoping his momentum dies like Dean's did in the last race. We don't need fanatics running the country.

That is what you meant, right?

[phUnk]

Too early to speculate on Obama's VP....but it probably won't be Edwards, or a sitting Senator.

It's actually going to be me. Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but you guys brought it up.

Obama/Phunk

Ron Paul revolution

[dk_alaskan]

I just read some shit about how 60% of the republicans polled in the Iowa caucus identified themselves as evangelical Christians. WTF? Is Iowa that backwards?

I don't think the Iowegians even know that "evangelical" means. Many in IA, to the best of my knowledge, are Lutheran/Protestant following the trends of MN, WI, and ND.

And yes, to answer your 2nd ?, they ARE that backwards!!!! They got taken by slick willy in their "caucauses", the place where they "horse trade" to bring more people to want their candidate.

[Spats]

Iowa doesn't mean a lot. Pat Robertson won Iowa. The Republicans there always go for the evangelical nominee. Democrats: remember Paul Tsongas? No? He won in Iowa, too.

Except in races with an incumbent or a unanimous front-runner, the candidate who wins Iowa rarely wins the nomination. Not saying it's a curse, just that the Iowa caucus has proven itself over time not to be representative of the rest of the country.

It is gratifying to see Giuliani in last place, though. Who would have predicted a month ago that Ron Paul would be in double digits and Rudy would get 3%?

Cheney's not a fanatic?

Throw your vote away on a 3rd party, it's the only rational choice left.

GOOD. Ugh. If Guliani gets elected I am moving to argentina.

Was psyched to see Ron Paul ahead of him, too.

I think it may be different this year at least for the Democtrats simply because Obama was one of the front runners when he won and this will only add to his front runner status. I myself was a Biden fan. I thought he did very well in the debates, but now that he's out I'm not sure who I'll support.

It will be interesting to see who will pull in more idependent voters, Obama or McCain. If the split that could hurt both candidates.

[dipstik]

Who the hell votes for Huckabee?

[MassLiberal]

Who the hell votes for Huckabee?

People who love jesus.

But seriously, did anyone listen to his victory speech?? I can see why the RNC hates the guy, he's more of a populist than edwards.

NH is going to be interesting, overnight polling still puts Hillary up by 6%, and with a media cycle die down, the bounce Obama could expect may or may not materialize.

Obama also gave a great victory speech last night, he can really rock the stump. I'm excited about the Democrats chances this year, 100% increase in voter turnout? How fucking awesome is that!?

[Name Redacted]

I'm moving back to NZ if another douchebag asshole like bush gets elected. I can't take that shit for another 4-8 years and neither can this country.

[jon gaper]

and the big scary answer is the american people!!!!
on one side we have the top 3 with no experience whatsoever for a very challenging world.
on the other side, a baptist preacher.
this country is in very deep trouble if this is the best we can do.

[montanaskier]

Huckabee as president should scare everyone. Obama will get my vote, but don't count out Hilary just yet.

Can we still vote for Bill?

[The AD]

on one side we have the top 3 with no experience whatsoever for a very challenging world.

Hillary has no experience? Geez, what other experience does she need? She's been a U.S. Senator since 2001 and was very active during her husband's presidnecy for eight years. That seems like experience to me.

[MassLiberal]

Creating SChip, turning around the Arkansas public school system, leading the Family Defense Fund, taking tough policy stances in her terms as Senator. The list goes on and on. Hillary has a lot more experience than most who choose to run for president.

Obama, while he is sorely lacking in terms of experience, he does have leadership qualities about him that make him an attractive candidate. If the electorate is voting on the issue of change, he has the capability to bring that. My only worry is that he will get eaten alive by Republican campaign tactics.

[s.p.c]

Huckabee is scary. McCain is the only republican who doesn't terrify me.

Despite his lack of experience, i think Obama would make a great president- charismatic as hell.

The question I still have is what did Bloomberg and Obama discuss? An Obama/ Bloomberg ticket would be ill. An african american and a jew running the country is titties.

[snowsprite]

Ron Paul might actually do it in New Hampshire, he's reportedly been rallying hard there & Obama is going in w/ little money and little campaigning there.

We shall see!
