I for one am in favor of getting rid of the electoral college. Let us the people vote, how we were intended to vote by majority elections. And not by a bunch of drunken fools that make asses of themselves in the national political conventions. We don't need this system of electing our presidents anymore.No more red and blue states just one White,Red and Blue Nation. That is how this dumb, stupid president of the USA cheated his way into office. He is so dumb that the vice-president runs the country. Please Congress grow some back bone and throw both their butts out. MY POOR CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN ABUSED BY TWO CROOKS How two Welfare states NH and IA decide how the rest of the nation votes.

They wanted to become more conservative but had been liberal for so long that they couldn't renounce some liberal tendencies.

They seem strangely quiet this time around. Their only remarks as things wrap up here in NH are in disbelief regarding the fact that a minority or female candidate can be a front-runner. How blind were these Republicans for 2 terms while their choice led our country astray in the international arena and got nothing accomplished domestically? Did they really think the Bush administration left any chance for Republicans to succeed? I hope more people continue to see that committing to a party and always voting for that party needs to become an old-fashioned idea. It is this "Independent" minded thinking that opens each one of us up to elect the best candidate. It is NH that will show the way.

Heh... at least Paul supporters are honest about wanting to go back to the 19th century. Yeah, let's return the US dollar to the gold standard. That sounds like a great idea. And there are plenty more where that came from. Come on, people! Paul's a crass opportunist exploiting people's anger over the war to fuel his longshot (not a chance in hell) campaign, and even some liberals are latching on to him, but if you look beyond the war, Paul's views are actually quite insane! If his position on the war is the only reason you like him, then you should consider voting for a Democrat! However, I 100% agree about the Bush admin being the worst ever. It's been a lot of fun lately, watching the GOP swirling down the toilet bowl of history as the various factions in the Bush coalition, each representing a different flavor of insanity, fight it out to pick their sacrificial lamb to get crushed by Obama. I was 18 years old and voting for the first time in 2000, and I can proudly say that even then I was smart enough not to vote for the current regime.

Is it THAT cold this winter that their brains have become numb? And the questions about "conserving". The only thing conserved here is their personal wealth, their business colleague's personal wealth, and a few key allies' personal wealth. Not only has the vast majority of America suffered under the Bush Administration, our country's status as a respectable nation has taken a tremendous downfall. The interesting part is the "more conservative" and "less conservative" have nothing to do with the traditional meaning of "conservatism", at least in politics. This has been an economic nightmare (on top of everything else), with the largest national debt ever, a military that's on the brink of bankruptcy, skyrocketing mortgage foreclosures, enormous gasoline prices in the face of record oil company profits, and so on. On the "less government" front, we have the laughable "Patriot Act" (as aptly named as the "Clean Air" act), entirely new government departments that are every bit as incompetent as FEMA proved to be, secret prisons, Guantanamo, and so on. This is "conservative"? This is a dictator that is above the law. If you voted for this administration in 2000, well, who knew all of this nonsense would happen. If you voted again for this administration in 2004, please turn in your voter's registration card (or shoot it, as the case may be). Thinking that this course of action should continue, even if it's 18% of the people -- I don't know what is going on anymore. I don't know if a democrat will correct everything (or at least a majority of things) in even two terms, but the captain of the brain ship has long since left his post in this current administration, and in this case, I'll put my trust in an ensign over another "captain". How is it possible that 18% of America, or at least people in New Hampshire, think that everything is fine and we should just continue with the status quo? Is it THAT cold this winter that their brains have become numb?

And the questions about "conserving". The only thing conserved here is their personal wealth, their business colleague's personal wealth, and a few key allies' personal wealth. Not only has the vast majority of America suffered under the Bush Administration, our country's status as a respectable nation has taken a tremendous downfall.

The interesting part is the "more conservative" and "less conservative" have nothing to do with the traditional meaning of "conservatism", at least in politics. This has been an economic nightmare (on top of everything else), with the largest national debt ever, a military that's on the brink of bankruptcy, skyrocketing mortgage foreclosures, enormous gasoline prices in the face of record oil company profits, and so on.

On the "less government" front, we have the laughable "Patriot Act" (as aptly named as the "Clean Air" act), entirely new government departments that are every bit as incompetent as FEMA proved to be, secret prisons, Guantanamo, and so on.

This is "conservative"? This is a dictator that is above the law. If you voted for this administration in 2000, well, who knew all of this nonsense would happen. If you voted again for this administration in 2004, please turn in your voter's registration card (or shoot it, as the case may be).

GW may talk a "good" game but the fiscal conservatives hate runaway deficit spending, and while he may throw the So-Cons a bone or two he hasn't done much on their pet issues (Thankfully). There's something for conservatives of all stripes to find lacking. I'm not conservative but I can see their point. Sure, why wouldn't conservatives say they want a more conservative President?

However, combined with the above poll I have to say it seems like Ron Paul might get over 10% of the vote. And I'm not a Paul supporter.
