So your vote might turn on whether you want to see obama cement his front-runner status, or if you want to see the battle go all the way to PA. Personally, I'm hoping hillary gets trounced in WI. Not only because I want to see obama get the nomination, but I'm getting impatient with the uncertainty. I don't want a floor fight in denver, so the sooner clinton concedes, the better it is for everybody. And I'm really looking forward to their debate this thursday. It should be much more contentious than the previous hollywood star-studded extravaganza.

Anyhoo I get home and I have 6 messages on my answering machine. Being that my family was with me I knew they didn't call. And my friends always call me on my cell. It was the candidates. Three from Obama, two from McCain and one from Huckabee. Hillary didn't bother to call. I'm thinking it's going to be Obama tomorrow.

Originally Posted By DAR It depends I'd like to see how the debates shape up. I'm not completely dazzled by Obamania, but I'm willing to listen to what he has to say.

I've always liked the Clinton's, but this constant drumbeat about the poor, disenfranchised voters of Florida and Michigan is really getting on my nerves. I think when they're the clear winners and in charge, they do a fine job. But put them on the ropes, and they seem to get nasty and vindictive.
Originally Posted By dshyates I have always been a supporter of the Clintons, but recently they have been showing their nasty side. When David Shuster accused them of "pimping out" their daughter. Them screaming for him to be fired and threatening the media outlet with a boycott if they don't friendly up their tone. I don't like politicians throwing their weight at a media outlet because of content. People who abuse their power shouldn't be given more power. I would have looked her in the face and laughed. Like a person running for president would actually boycott one of the 4, 24 hour news channels.

I'm just curious. I have some Republican friends who told me that they went to the Democratic side and voted Obama at their recent primary. Their reason? They didn't want to see Hillary Clinton win and they wanted to pump up a candidate for the general election that they thought wouldn't be able to beat a Republican nominee.
Originally Posted By DAR <<What, in particular, makes you willing to listen to someone with some very liberal views that are contrary to a lot your normal postings on the board?>> Because that's how I approach every election, I might not agree with what a particular candidate has to say. But he or she at least deserves my attention to what their saying.
Originally Posted By Sport Goofy There's actually a couple of ultra-conservative newsletters out there instructing GOP members in states like Wisconsin to register as Democrat for the primary and vote for Obama. They've been circulating for several months now. I wonder how many other conservatives are playing this game at the ballot box?
