Democrats vote with their hearts more than their heads.

Hillary gets it, but around convention time there’s a OMG, What have we done ! moment.

Shillery is desperately trying to keep one leg in the “moderate” wing and one leg in the “left” wing, hoping to appease all. She has to keep her “moderate” stance in order to run in the general election, but now the left wingers are coming out against her saying she is too moderate! Both Obama and Edwards are running far left and are realizing this is Hillary’s tactic and are attacking her on it. A lot of Democrats are looking to Obama as a “not your usual politician fresh face” candidate. There are some who are tired of politics in general. It’s just too early now. Neither Edwards or Obama stand a chance against any Republican, so I think Shillary will be the candidate, although I think the Democrat Party will hold its collective nose.

Exit question: Whom do we root for here?

If you want the Republican candidate to win, you root for HilldaBeastie™ to get the democrat nomination.

Seems to me that Howard Dean was in this same position. Supposed frontrunner faltering in Iowa and the punditacracy starts talking about how Iowa isn’t all that important.

I’d say for the vagina that has acted like she should simply be given the nomination by acclaimation because of her sex and spouse, this is a HUGE setback. It would be too much to expect a “Howard Scream” moment this time around but it certainly give’s the vagina’s critics pause to wonder if she is as invincible as once thought.

Slug it out, kids. The fact that Democrats have a choice of Obama and Hillary, and some vote for John Edwards, validates everything we have ever said about either of them.

You’d think the recent relative quiet in Iraq would benefit the most hawkish candidate of the three.

Muddy thinking. In fact, why would anyone think that at all? (Is the assumption supposed to have been that recent trends in Iraq should somehow have educated the Democratic electorate on the wisdom of a more hawkish position?)

The fading of Iraq from the headlines equates with greater willingness to take a chance on a well-meaning, symbolically pleasing, otherwise totally unimpressive and unqualified candidate. It makes an Obama (and also a Romney or a Huckabee on the R side) theoretically more electable, too.

Still only a marginal move, and as much an index of Hillary’s weakness as of Obama’s credibility.

Obama’s ideology is hard core left, but somehow I think he’s more honorable and statesmanlike than Shrillery.

So I wish him the best of luck, at least for now.

BTW, how does Hillary get away with her claim that she has more experience? If it weren’t for nepotism, she’d be running for president of Vassar’s alumna association. Phooey.

I have said all along, and I will continue to say it. The Democrat candidates have very little chance of winning. The only question in the equation is wether or not the Republican nominee has the ‘nads to go after whoever the Democrat is.

I suspect Rudy will go after whoever the candidate turns out to be. Mitt is too wishy washy and would probably get lulled into a “Clintonesque” let’s play nice type of ploy.

I find Rudy to be barely tolerable than the Democrat candidates, but Rudy seems to know how to play in the big leagues. I doubt Rudy will allow the Democrats to get away with the soft petaling that goes on in their campaign.

Damn you’re quick Allah! (You hear that all the time, am I right?) I just saw this on Special Report and was about to email you, and you already had it up. Nice work.

Eh. I had Allah beat by 21 minutes. I only mention it because….well because I can. lol

But, I didn’t have to embed anything of type it up, so I guess it ain’t such a big deal. :-)

I’d say that Obama-’yo mama had better stay away from the parks and keep a keen eye about what is happening behind him. Remember what happened to Vince Foster.

Root for Obama. Look to November 08: hard left can’t win (if there is such a thing as “can’t” anymore) but this country has TWICE voted for a Clinton.

Hillary is too old, too. Look how old she looks in the pic! We need young blood. :)
