I've decided I can't wait around for the Democrats or the Republicans to nominate someone I can get excited about. Holding my nose in the general election is not enough! (Oh, were it 2000 again...)
So, this time around, I'm throwing my hat in now. I'm voting for the candidate I want in 2008, not the one that everyone else picks.
So...

I'm for Smoky Barry Hussein Obama. A Marlboro Man.
I even signed up to to volunteer at <a href="http://barackobama.com">barackobama.com</a>. No word yet, probably hiring top-level campaign operatives first. In the mean time...

America's Mayor™.
What about Mitt "Flip" Romney?
For some weird reason I have been having fun watching the Barack star, too... (Too much barley?)
There was an <a href=http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200701/green-unity08>article</a> in last month's Atlantic.
Thoughts or Opinions, anyone?
Anyone who claims "Hilary Clinton is just too decisive to be a viable presidential candidate" deserves a slap in the head, especially if they voted for Bush in 2004.
blech.
To be fair, Obama proclaiming "Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma" was also a bit jarring.
To be especially fair, Clinton is just doing what every other politician does (Bush included), she just can't pull it off in the South.

Rudee, supporters: What are you going to do ensure he beats out Fred Thompson?
Subject: Who is Barack Obama??
Who is Barack Obama? He's "ARTICULATE and CLEAN," yes, but just a little background for those of you that may not know, or realize what a threat this man is if elected to the highest office in our country. Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita,Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father Returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim >From Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia.
Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He Is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama'smother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. Please forward this to everyone you know.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside, what better way to start than at the highest level.
AWAKE AMERICA!!!!!
This is why Clinton's losing; she counted all her votes back in November, before any were cast.
Are most people who vote for Nader likely to have voted for a Democrat or Republican otherwise? A Democrat.
Hence he's pulling votes away from the Democrats. It's what always happens when there's a third candidate in our one party, oh excuse me, two party system.
When I read Nader was running, my first reaction was I wonder how much he's being paid.
30% of those voters may have stayed home... not zero-sum.
I just think it's perverse to blame Nader for Gore's failings.

Best thing that happened to DLC-aligned moderate Democrats: Sept 11, 2001.
"Vote for me or in the event of a terrorist attack the Republican candidate will start a war in an unrelated country that will cost us 3,200+ American lives, 30,000+ wounded, $200 million a day, tens of thousands of civilians deaths, and counting."
Everyone knew Gore was winning Mass in 2000. A few percentage points more or less made no difference. On the other hand, a couple of percentage points for Nader did mean something. Since he exceeded 3% of the vote, the Green Party became an "officially recognized" party in Massachusetts, which meant it was a lot easier for Green Party candidates to get on the ballot for other offices.
<b>That's</b> why I voted for Nader in 2000 -- so that I could then have the option of voting for Green Party candidates for governor, city council, dog catcher, etc.
If polls show Clobama leading McCain by a wide margin in Mass this year, I will probably vote for a third-party candidate again for the same reason.
(Would have been better had it been NC)
75 cents!!!
Unreasonably good.
I have never seen 'fat, top heavy pins'.
Don't forget to vote in November.
