I’m a Dem and have closely followed this race. Supposedly, many Rebubs turned out in record numbers in other states to vote for Obama purely because they think McCain can’t win against Hillary, but can defeat Obama. I don’t like any of the three candidates. I voted against Bush both times and can tell my kid with a clear conscience, “I didn’t do this.” I don’t care who the nominees are this time. I will vote, but not in the president’s race. Disclosures: My mom’s dad was in the trenches of WW1 in Europe; my dad fought in Italy in WWII and again in Korea where the bottom of his left leg was shot off; his much younger brother did three Vietnam tours; I have two nephews in Iraq — one on his third tour, the other on his second.

Clinton rejects calls to quit Democratic race
I love this lady. Single handedly, she's causing enough disruption that McCain might actually stand a chance.
What will be the new tagline? "Read my lips, no new bailouts"? π
My favorite candidate is still in the race (Ron Paul.)…Ok sort of.

March 29, 2008 at 5:48 PM #178683LA_RenterParticipantMcCain is actually ahead of both Clinton and Obama in most polls, gallup, rasmussen, etc. That is simply amazing if you look at the fundamentals of the electorate. Check out this graph on party affiliation
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/773/fewer-voters-identify-as-republicans
Those numbers are so bad for the Republicans that many conservative talking heads feel it could actually benefit McCain by balancing out what looks to be a blowout in the house and senate races. Still looking at that graph has most republican political operatives with a funny feeling in their stomachs. George Bush is leaving the GOP in shambles. Karl Rove was truly a political master especially pulling off the 2004 elections but what good does that type of politics do if you do not build a lasting majority. Totally short sided outlook if you ask me. Here is what I think, whoever wins this election will last 4 years tops. We are literally looking at a mess in every direction that you look.

March 31, 2008 at 10:43 AM #179231AecetiaParticipantThe “winner” will probably live to regret it based on the domestic and international problems. Instead of Hoovervilles will it be Hillaryvilles or Obamavilles or McCainvilles? Better to sit this one out.
