Vote for anyone other than Hillary, there is no issue more IMPORTANT!

Iowa needs a President with enough experience to facilitate change. Ron Paul is the only candidate with the experience our nation needs to heal after the disasterous 8 years.

Here, I fixed this for you. Don't be fooled by these liars, panderers and big government spenders. Don't let the media choose your candidates for you. If you want real change (and not just the idea of change that Obama likes to tell you) then go for the only anti-war, anti-welfare, anti-abortion, anti-spending, anti-tax candidate in the race.

Go Ron Paul!

BROOKLYN, IOWA — The longtime Republican mayor of this tiny heartland town will stun his neighbors — and send shockwaves that will reach his countrymen in the real Brooklyn — when he breaks ranks with the GOP to vote for Sen. Barack Obama at the Iowa caucuses this Thursday night.
“After eight years of this administration, I’ve had it,” Mayor Loren Rickard told The Brooklyn Paper, which sent a reporter to Brooklyn, Iowa — population 1,200 — for the “first-in-the-nation” caucus.

“We’ve got a currency that’s practically worthless and a war without end,” he added. “I thought they were crazy to start the war with Iraq — and crazier that they didn’t even seem to have a plan to fight it.”

And Rickard said he’s not only dissatisfied with the president, but with his would-be successors.

“I’ve been a moderate Republican all my life and I simply don’t recognize these people [the GOP field],” he said. “Meanwhile, the Democrats have six solid candidates — though I think [Dennis] Kucinich is a bit out there.”

Rickard singled out Joe Biden and Obama for praise — but said he wouldn’t back Biden because “he can’t win.”

Few in the farming town in eastern Iowa know that their third-term Republican mayor will side with the Democrats on Thursday. And it might not have happened were it not for the efforts of Obama supporter, Bev Rens.

“I held a house party for Obama and [the mayor] came with his son, Joel,” said Rens, the Poweshiek County Democratic Party co-chair. “He listened to what I had to say and he pledged to vote for Obama that night. It sent a shiver through me!”

Rens said she also scored the mayor’s son, who was originally backing New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

The Republican crossovers were no surprise to Brooklyn (Iowa) Chronicle Editor Sky Eilers.

“There are many Republicans in Iowa who feel that their party is in trouble in November, but they also don’t want to see Hillary be president, so they’re switching parties to back other Democrats,” said Eilers. “Hillary has had the biggest machine behind her here. Some people feel she’s buying her way through the process while Obama is appealing to the grassroots, which is what you have here in Brooklyn.”

Eilers didn’t think Rickard’s betrayal of party would send a shockwave through the town.

“Shockwave? In Brooklyn [Iowa]? I don’t think so,” Eilers said.

But he did think many eyes would be following Rickard as he entered the Democratic, rather than Republican, caucus.

“He is very well respected here, so people will certainly talk about it,” he said.

Under Iowa election law, registered voters can switch their party affiliation on caucus night, which Rickard said he would do by signing in as a Democrat at Thursday’s gathering at the Brooklyn-Guernsey-Malcolm elementary school.

Despite the excitement over the presidential election, the caucus process in Brooklyn is subdued, Rens said. In some years, only a handful of Democrats and Republicans have gathered, she said.

“I started in 1988 and was caucusing for Jesse Jackson,” she said. “There was six or seven people there, total.”

But this year, turnout is expected to be high at both party caucuses. The Republicans will gather at 6:30 pm and begin with a straw poll of all voters in attendance, while Democrats start a half-hour later — and dig in for an arduous process.

First, supporters of each candidate get to make a presentation, hoping to sway the undecided. Then, a vote is taken. Candidates who receive 15 percent or more are considered “viable,” and move forward to a second round of voting. Supporters of “non-viable” candidates can shift their allegiance to one of the viable candidates or form alliances with supporters of other “non-viable” candidates before the second round.

I think a "surge" by John McCain is a good thing for Democrats. I don't know why voters think Obama would have trouble with defeating him. He is just more of Bush with more honor. Two more brave American soldiers died over the weekend for a unwarrented war that McCain supports! This war has made Americans less safe.

Time for these longtime politicians with old, tired views of the world to retire!

Hillary's foreign policy experience was on full display this weekend. What a dimwit..

If you are considering Obama, PLEASE research! Your county deserves better that a player like obamawinphrey!

I think it’s a big mistake to believe that obama will win because older Americans will not come out in bad weather to support another candidate like Hillary or Edwards! I’m 67 yr old mixed race man and I can tell you that the older generation is wide awake and very much realizes we need the experience and not a snake oil salesman that needs a TV talk show host to get noticed, obama is just yelling with no substance. Its obvious in EVERY debate he kept losing his thoughts in the middle of making one, (pay attention to all the “ahhs” and “umms” he says between words, sign he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because he can't remember what is “written for him”(not a leader) he’s running on Hillary and Edwards solutions. Notice also, once the media has begun to report his short comings, oprah is no where in sight, feeling pretty foolish at this point id imagine.

He did not show up to vote in the senate often in his short time there, missed 130 votes out of 153! bashes ALL the other 72 senators who voted for the war based on the intelligence they were provided by OUR PRESIDENT, but he will not answer any reporter on how we would voted at the time. But his record after fact shows he supports the war, voted twice in 2006 against bringing America's troops back home. He votes for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater. His latest bit of posturing S 433 allows the Bush Administration to suspend any troop withdrawal!!!!Which if not suspended, still keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come? Obama when faced with tough choices always gave in to pressure from the Bush administration or corporate lobbyists. Such as Obama voted for Bush's energy bill, sending more than $13 billion in subsidies and tax breaks to oil, coal, and nuclear companies. Obama voted with Republicans to allow credit card companies to raise interest rates over 30 percent, increasing hardship for families. Obama voted for one of Bush's top priorities – expanding Nafta to South America – even as President Bush obstructed all the top Democratic priorities. Obama voted with Bush to make it harder for ordinary people to hold big corporations accountable when they do things like sell toxic toys, poisonous pet food, or just plain rip you off. Obama was the Senate's biggest Democratic advocate of subsidies for liquid coal, even though liquid coal produces twice the global warming pollution of the crude oil it's meant to replace (Obama "backed off" this position after being pummeled by environmentalists for several months, but still voted for increased subsidies, albeit with conditions)

Obama, a Hamiltonian believer in free trade and supporters of globalization has lent his support to the "Hamilton Project formed by corporate-neoliberal Citigroup chair Robert Rubin and other 'Wall Street Democrats' to counter populist rebellion against corporate tendencies within the Democratic Party. Obama provided assistance to pro-war candidates (such as Joe Lieberman). Obama voted for "business-friendly 'tort reform' bill that rolls back working peoples' ability to obtain reasonable redress and compensation…from corporations!!! Obama considers single payer universal health care too socialist and has stated that he prefers voluntary solutions. He has no substance. He has provided no solution to any problem until Hillary, Edwards or even Mitt Romey publically expresses theirs, then he copies, He’s been constantly negative with everyone.

Early on supporters were mad that race was initially talked about, but they insisted it wasn’t fair that he isn’t BLACK he is MIXED RACE! I highly recommend you check out his church websitehttp://www.tucc.org/about.htm. "I'm a black guy running for president named Barack Obama. I must be hopeful." said obama in a speech in Iowa.
Now he’s claims hes just BLACK again trying to make fools of black voters. I have no respect for a man that is ashamed of his heritage and his parents. An ex-drug addict (per his words JUNKIE) that’s not someone who smoked pot, inhaled or not, a junkie is a person who had a serious addiction to harsher drugs. I do not trust he won’t fall backwards and start using again. In fact doesn’t his wife always look wired???? Makes you say hum…Is that the type of person you trust your great country too. He is a disgusting example for our youth. Michelle proves she is racist with every sentence she speaks. The younger ones who you claim only support obama have not gone through the problems with health care, the cost of prescriptions, struggling to pay home loans insurances and frankly keeping a job. Per polls young obama supporters live at home or on campus and have no idea what’s really at stake with our country, but when he cannot handle foreign policies and they find themselves drafted! they will feel mighty stupid! I suggest that the young and old voters RESEARCH before you vote it’s very important. Look how bush/Chaney destroyed the country that BILL CLINTON left behind, no debt, we had jobs and the housing markets were moving forward. I URGE ALL TO GET INFORMED BEFORE YOU CAST THAT IMPORTANT VOTE; YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!

I still am betting on the come-back-kid McCain for the Republican nominee, now that DIRTY TRICKS Dubya Bush Jr. and Karl Rove are no more!!!!

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

"Ajay", You made a good point about McCain and then you ruin your credibility by having a "Go Hillary" at the bottom of your posting.

The ONLY people that play politics dirtier than Karl Rove are the Clinton's, who are the so called "dirtiest players in the game".

Just this election cycle who has had the MOST surrogates do their dirty work and then be forced to resign or apologize?

Whose has been husband has been part of those surrogates that are speading hate and lies about Obama in particular?

Who has had the most planted questions or actual planted people?

Who is allowed to say one thing at one debate and another totally different thing at the very next debate (I was for the illegal's getting licenses, before I was against them with a simple NO answer being allowed).

You are also right "Ajay" about the elections in 2008 being different, the Clinton's still think they can pull off their 1990's tricks and FOOL EVERYONE, but thanks to Al Gore inventing the internet, only the uninformed sheep can't see through their deceptive and deceitful LIES.

We non-sheep call it the Clinton's "business as usual".

Hillary will pull this off. She is the most experienced, and she has what it takes to beat back the Republican political destroyer machine. If Democrats out there believe for a second that Obama will win the general election, they might as well believe that elephants fly. If Obama wins the nomination, this year's election will be over by the beginning of March. The Republicans will eat him alive rigth after Super Tuesday. Hillary on the other hand has been tested and vetted by the Republicans. They are afraid of her because they know that she will win. Please vote for Hillary if you want a Democrat to occupy the white House on January 09.

For whom you vote for that is your business. But just remember we put George Bush into office with no experience in foreign affairs or anything. Look what has happen to the world. We are hated by everybody 9 trillion dollat debt the Chinese hold over a trillon dollars of our money. So if i was going to vote in Iowa i would vote instead of someone who has 2 years in the Senate no knowledge of foreign affairs just speaks what his campain tells him to or Hillary Clinton who has years of foreign affairs knowledge has worked for children throughout this country for over 17 years and is the only one other than Joe Biden who can get us out of this mess we are in. Dont listen to what the canidates are promises you in 2 years but who is best for the job

We need to make our own decision and quit listening to the media polls. I know that I am not going to decide by what the media polls say.

I have to be cautious about Obama, what does the people know what he does behind close doors
? And trust me I know from a friend in Illinois what he told me.

For Edwards he's an ambulance chaser.

Clinton, she needs to quit flip flopping.

As for the Republicans, they will just make the economy get even worse.

Bloomberg, I wish you were running.

I feel that Hillary is a very competent senator. I believe she has good intentions toward helping people. I contend that Hillary would be JFK next to Bush, but her problem in my humble opinion is that she is running for president and not for the US Senate.
Hillary has passed bipartisen legislation in the Senate, for example, she exspanded health care benifits for US Military Reserves. Exspanding health care benifits is tough legislation so is ehtics reform and it took 3 years for her to get health care benifits for Reserves passed, while it took Obama one year to pass, arguably the toughest ethics reform ever in Washington.
Hillary has a very parochial platform that is essentially a domestic agenda, which makes it perplexing that she is running for president when the agenda for the next president will mostly pertain to forien affairs. Hillary ceeds most of her forien affairs queries to the notion of sending Bill all over the world as a forien ambassador, which is problematic for two primary reasons: One, she is the president not him, Second, you could see the story lines if he reverts back to his old womanizing ways, of which are not ancient history and the ramifications need no explination.
Hillary has good intentions but they are tempered with unrelenting almost but not quite complicict ambition; an example to qualify this assertion would be her own admission to not reading the Iraq intelligence reports before authorizing the war with her vote. Bottomline: Hillary is a Yale trained lawyer there is no way she looks at the flimsy evidence at best of going to war with Iraq and deem it justifiable enough to ratify the Iraq war resolution. She did not read it for two reasons one she know what it said and did not want to risk looking weak in a future presidential bid on terror and needed credibility in toughness, because the political landscape at the time was one where Bush had declared a precieved success in Iraq. It would have been politically risky to stand up against a popular war and president at the time. Hillary the consumate tactician, gave herself room if the war did not go as best hoped by saying she did not read the Iraq intelligence report before authorizing the Iraq War Resolution. Hillary did this on the pretext Bush gave her his word everything was in order in going to Iraq making him the fall guy ,while exonerating herself of misjudgement while keep the mantle of toughness. This assertion is tipified when she says things like "If I knew now what I had known then…" Maybe if she had read the intelligence report and listened intently to both sides of the arguement on invading Iraq then she would have known then what she knows now in relation to Iraq. All that said Hillary has good intentions, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
P.S. John Edwards is a flop flopper waiting to be swiftboated, because is voting record is closer to being conservative than liberal or even centrist, essentially his voting record does not square with his contempory rhetoric.

Hillary Rodham Clinton will take it –she's viable, electable, experienced, and tough. She can take the GOP down……Little Barry Obama will get smashed by the GOP.

We're in a terminal global climate crisis. This should be the number one issue when headed out to vote. When entire continents are going under water, nothing else will matter.

It's an IOWA2008 pop quiz!

Why is everyone in the front row slumping over?

a) falling asleep at Shrillary's message
b) knocked unconcious by the fumes of Chelsea's hairspray
c) looking through their purses for Bill's last shred of dignity
d) praying for Barack to win

I know that hillary is about words and more words and sometimes its about
more words that i do not understand! I do not see actions nor any difference
than before she was the senator.
Her projection is so fake.

Iowa needs a President with enough experience to facilitate change. Gov. Bill Richardson is the only candidate with the experience our nation needs to heal after the disasterous 8 years.

http://www.grassrootsfloridaforrichardson.com

chris in middleton, you need to get a life and quit bad mouthing the other candidates. your either a Obama supporter or a repuklican. Grow up and quit acting like rove. blog on your own candidates space. HILLARY 08

I am saddened to see such negative attacks & hatered in many of the postingss reflecting the state of the electorate. No wonder our country got what it deserved when we elected Bush. There are these Media polluters of hate that many of the bloggers turn into fact and express their hatred based on poor knowledge. Most of these candidates are well qualified and are dedicating their life for public cause though they may be driven by a sense of ego and there is nothing wrong with that in my view. The key is who is going to be competent and have a record of accomplishments. On that score a few would be better than others. Folks – stop haterd comments on anyone and do your own research in picking our next President. If you dont do your own homework we end up with another Bush like President.

"Bill Clinton and John Kerry won the democratic nominations without winning in IOWA. Enough with the rural pandering."

Hey Ajay, John Kerry did win the Iowa Caucuses and Bill Clinton didn't even try in Iowa because Iowa senator Tom Harkin was running and he knew he had no chance of winning. The fact that you are supporting Hillary is enough evidence that you don't know what you are talking about but you confirmed it with your comments.

Barack Obama is continually downplayed by the main stream media and attacked by special interest groups pouring money into Iowa. Why?

Because he doesn't take corporate PAC money. He will take a sledgehammer to the broken system while Clinton would play ball with them like usual.

The media is attempting to throw the focus to Edwards because they know he has no chance of actually getting the nomination. Anything they can do to throw the focus off Obama helps Clinton, which is repeatedly CNN and other big media outlets goal.

Barack Obama is now clearly the front runner in the most predicitive polls. Yet they marginalize him. You really have to ask why and ask who it is that they really are scared of.

They're scared to death of Barack Obama, which is good for the American people, because he can actually win, and he can actually change politics as usual

Hillary is the corporate candidate. She's also too polarizing and too status quo, not to mention inconsistent (because she'll say anything). Despite all the rhetoric, none of the candidates are truly for the middle class. Edwards is just talk, a mealy trial lawyer. Obama seems our best bet. When he talks, I believe him. He's consistent, and you can tell he's more or less for real, with a solid platform.

Glad you didn't give us a side view, would have covered up the name.

First of all, did this article have any actual information in it? It seems like a rehash of things they've already told us over the past month. Is the writer's strike really hitting CNN this hard?

Second of all, there is no reason to use a picture of Clinton for this article. She isn't even mentioned in it. I don't know if they felt sorry for her of if this was paid for, but it's definately an odd choice.

Thirdly, is it just me or does it look like Hillary was photoshoped into that picture? I'm sure she wasn't, but her lack of a shadow makes it look very odd to me.

Folks you better make sure you dont vote in some louzy corporate funded puppit like Hillary. Pick a populist ! Multinational mega corporations need their ever growing power dramatically reduced if this so called democracy is to survive.

CHANGE = The younger generation always seems to think THEY are the only ones who ever dreamed of change, of getting rid of the "outdated" ideas of all the generations who have come before them…

In 1960 – America was moving into the suburbs, leaving the scars of WWII & the Korean War behind them. It was a time of renewed hopes and the America dream. John Kennedy & his wife Jackie, offered the fresh new faces & optimisn of a younger generation, sweeping out the past establishment.

Those who like to compare Senator Obama to Kennedy by pointing out that he was only a 1st term Senator, somehow fail to see that JFK had spent 6YRS in the US House of Representatives, AND 6YRS in the US Senate, after having served as a Naval Commander in the South Pacific WWII. Still at 43, he was the youngest President ever sworn into office (as well as the first & only Catholic) and hailed by many as a celebrity. In Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech, he declared that "the torch has been passed on to a new generation of Americans". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy

HOWEVER America was fiteen years into the cold war in June 1961, when the Soviet Premier met the NEW American President in Vienna to discuss the east-west confrontation and the Berlin situation. Kruschev carefully assessed the new President, and left the summit THINKING KENNEDY WAS WEAK AND LACKING IN EXPERIENCE. As a result Kruschev felt embolden to ignore Kennedy's demands to stop the Russian military build-up, eventually leading up to the CUBAN MISSLE CRISIS. (for more details google)

When John Kennedy was struck down by an assassins bullet Nov. 22, 1963, the whole world mourned with his young widow & children. They remember JFK (not for his weaknesses nor his many indiscretions in the White House) but for his youth & energy and courage in the face of adversity as well as the Space Race and the early Civil Right's Movement.

But while the Nation had always admired Jackie for standing by her husband (despite the numerous public humiliations) – the American public was outraged by the perceived audacity to strike out on her own and marry Ari Onassis. Sadly it would seem that Our Great Nation has not come much further in the past 45yrs!

Lyndon B. Johnson stepped into the Presidency – (VP)Johnson had been a Texas Senator with a long illustrious career in Congress. Yet despite being a part of the ESTABLISHMENT his strength in the South was needed to win the Kennedy White House. LBJ continued the Space Race and enacted Civil Rights Laws, Medicare (health care for the elderly), Medicaid (health care for the poor), aid to education, and the "War on Poverty." Although he won election in 1964 , his downfall was the Vietnam War (which was actually inherited from JFK!)

Richard M. Nixon won back the Oval Office in 1968 for the GOP, promising to end the long dreary War quickly – which he & his Secretary of State Henry Kissenger did. Nixon should be remembered for his brilliant foreign policy with the USSR and China, in addition to his disgrace from being corrupted by power (coupled with his continuous bouts of paranoia) which led to Watergate.

His successor – Gerald Ford had slid into the VP position as Minority Leader of the House after Spiro Agnew has been forced to resign because of criminal investigations. Ford was left to withdraw the final US civilians from Vietnam – sparking the ensuing chaos and mass murders of American sympathizers who had no time to escape the collapse of South Vietnam. He will always be remembered for his Presidential Pardon of Nixon and his forthright honesty, decency, AND for being a klutz

Thus in 1976 with Nixon's Watergate Scandal still fresh in the voters' minds, the Nation was ready for YET ANOTHER CHANGE – out with the old establishment guard – in with the new non-Washington crowd. Hence, JIMMY CARTER'S position as an outsider, distant from Washington, D.C., became his best asset. The centerpiece of his campaign platform was GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION. He & his wife Rosyln offered firm family values and refreshingly humble untarnished appeal..

Unfortunately for America (although maturing into a great elder statesman) CARTER'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE RESULTED IN SEVERAL MAJOR CRISES: including the take over of the American embassy and holding of hostages by militants in Iran, a failed rescue attempt of the hostages, serious fuel shortages, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan!!!

"CARTER advocated a policy that held other countries to the highest moral standard possible, a standard by which, he believed, Americans would want themselves to be judged. His Presidency was dominated by the IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS, during which the United States struggled to rescue diplomats and American citizens held hostage in Tehran for 444 DAYS! By 1980, Carter was so unpopular that he was challenged by Ted Kennedy for the party nomination – and although Carter received the Democratic nomination, he lost the election to GOP Ronald Reagan." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter

ONCE AGAIN THE NATION CLAMORED FOR CHANGE, sweeping in 8yrs of Ronald (Nancy) Reagan!!

In 1988 as the incumbent VicePresident George HW Bush defeated Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis to keep the White House GOP for another 4yrs. But the 1980s economic recession plagued most of Bush's term in office and was a contributing factor to his defeat in the 1992 Presidential election to Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas.

THE WINDS OF CHANGE HAVE SWEPT THROUGH AMERICA SINCE ITS FOUNDING. Yet the younger generation has no memory of the same changes sought by the older generations.

ALTHOUGH BARACK OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO COMPARE HIMSELF WITH JFK – PERHAPS IT WOULD BE MORE PRUDENT TO SEE THAT HE MOST CLOSELY RESEMBLES JIMMY CARTER – THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE WHO RAN ON A "WASHINGTON OUTSIDER" PLATFORM, OFFERING CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE; WHO PRESENTED SOLID FAMILY VALUES; WHO HAD NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE – WHOSE "ON-THE-JOB TRAINING" BROUGHT 444 DAYS OF THE IRAN HOSTAGE CRISIS.

Where will the dreams of change in America take Our Great Nation in 2008?? Perhaps PAUSE FOR RECONSIDERATION…

does anyone know the web address for this site John Edwards set up on which he is promising to answer all questions by Thursday? Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler?

Please someone make all of this go away!! Dems, Republicans, etc. These have got to be the most unproductive people on the planet ! Talk about global warming what with all the hot air being expended in their lust for power . Only 10 more months and this farce can start over again. By then there shouldn't be a sane American left of those who still care that is! They are coming to take me away aha aha aha!

THE HILL BILLY DUO IS AN EMBARASSMENT TO YOUR COUNTRY AND THE FREE WORLD.

HILLARY WAS ALWAYS CONSULTED, WHEN DID SHE KNOW BILL WAS GOING TO LIE ABOUT NEVER HAVING SEX WITH THAT WOMAN

WHO KNEW WHAT WHEN???

A freind of mine who is watching this race from outside the country said the candidates are medicore. I really wish there was someone that was clearly good and everyone could clearly agree on. I think that I would be a good candidate, but I could never get elected.

CNN You managed to get another picture of the Hildabeast on your web site. What a surprise!

IOWA 08, The beggining of the end to BUSH LITE, and CLINTONS !!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with some– I don't understand how a small percentage of the people in a small state has such a big control over who America has for President. But since they apparently do, I want to say I am for Hillary. We need her intelligence, her steady hand, her experience. Go, Hillary! I am hoping and praying you are our next President.

"John Edwards has gone a step further — setting up a special website where voters can submit questions they were not able to ask in person, which he is pledging to get them answered before Thursday night."

A president willing to put forth the extra effort. Sounds like a winner to me.

EDWARDS '08

People, pollsters, pundits give undue importance to the IOWA caucus. Isn’t it time to break the back of this myth of IOWA’s importance? They haven’t picked a winner since 1976.

Bill Clinton and John Kerry won the democratic nominations without winning in IOWA. Enough with the rural pandering.

What has happened to all the Analysts at CNN. Can somebody reporter/commentator/Analyst tell the public that the 2008 primary season / cycle is DIFFERENT from yesteryears! We are talking January 3rd caucusing next to the New Year. Then New Hampshire then South Carolina THEN:

SUPER DUPER TUESDAY. Its going to be different this time. The early states voters may as well stay warm at home. Super Tuesday will decide the nominee. That needs money and organization which the fringe candidates including Edward (the contender in Iowa & New Hampshire) do not have!

I still am betting on the come-back-kid McCain for the Republican nominee, now that DIRTY TRICKS Dubya Bush Jr. and Karl Rove are no more!!!!

Go Hillary44 08! http://hillaryis44.org/

Don't believe the hype!
HIllary leads ALL other Dems in National Polls by double digits.
Which makes sense because she's BY FAR the most qualified for the job.

Does anyone know the site which is referred to in this post?–

John Edwards has gone a step further — setting up a special website where voters can submit questions they were not able to ask in person, which he is pledging to get them answered before Thursday night.

If so, please post it here – there doesn't seem to be anything coming up for a site where John answers questions….

With Hillary Clinton it albout me me me me me me its all about me me me me me me me me…

And CNN…."candidates scramble" – yet….just a picture of HRC….yeah…you hide your choice so well….and giving Richardson daily press coverage…omg…pandering to the Latino vote for HRC….could you be more obvious…the only people who don't "get it" are the Hillidiots who believe HRC has answered questions asked of her clearly….(which is so not true…)

Many of us are "undecided" – but one things for sure…we have decided that we will never vote for Hillary….ever (its because we read…thats why)

Vote pro-life. There is no issue more important.
