2.If Obama is the guy what is the highest place a clinton could occupy if not for vice president?She'll do anything to keep a small grip on the party in the most visible spot possible possibly setting up a run after obama's done.Also don't get the assasination factor for Obama, most likely someones taking a shot at him and then she's instantly president.
3.Jim Webb or Hillary.
That's scary and true. Guy had to hire secret service first month into his bid. What a sad, fucked up nation this is.

It is but just looking at how weak guiliani is finishing its tough to see right now.
Mccain could go Huckabee to lock up the conservative base.
Romney still has a chance albeit a slim one.

Edwards drops out today. I wonder when he will throw his support to one of the two and who it will be?

Edwards not endorsing anyone helps Clinton.He wants to have some say when it comes down to the convention.

Ha. Just reading an online article about Edwards dropping out of the race. He stopped at a bridge overpass in New Orleans and got out and talked to about 100 homeless people that live under the bridge. He promised them that Obama and Clinton have both pledged to him that they will make helping the poor the focus of their campaigns. He said their cause was his only concern in life and he will continue to fight for their plight.
Dude gets $400 haircuts. :lool:
Anyway, it appears Obama is the early beneficiary of Edwards quitting. So far he picked up more delegates than Hillary because of it, and three Super Delegates that can pick their own person at the convention have already formally switched from Edwards to Obama.
I can't wait until Tuesday night.

Quote: "The conventional wisdom is that Barack Obama will pick up maybe 60 percent of them, and in some places, that makes a huge difference," former presidential adviser David Gergen said.
Time magazine journalist Joe Klein said, "I don't think he endorses Hillary Clinton. The question is whether or not he endorses Barack Obama."
Klein contends Clinton "represents a lot of the things that [Edwards] campaigned against, you know, the old Washington Democratic establishment that he believes got too close to the corporations in the '90s."
Edwards had campaigned on the message that he was standing up for the little guy, the people who are not traditionally given a voice in Washington, and that he would do more to fight special interests.
Bird, I don't like seeing you say that Clinton gets the nomination...

Tuesday should begin to tell the story.
I kind of think her parading Bill around South Carolina while she was off in other states might have turned some off. She's also gonna have some negativity thrown her way after she campaigned Florida...that didnt make much sense to me.
Its gonna be hard for to rely on the Hispanic vote as well after Kennedy's got behind Obama. That will be big in California. I think she gets New York more than likely.
We'll see, I'm nervous as hell about this one. I'll be bummed if Obama doesn't get it.
Tell me how it works, does everything get decided by next Tuesday?

this is very impressive:
a political debate among tweety, dumbo, and the bushman
where is the photo of the short bus kids having a food fight when you need it
stay tuned as the campaign heats up
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
