Participant“It is very close to the beach”
No it’s not. It’s close relative to Mira Mesa or La Mesa, but it’s not exactly near the water.As for being good for UCSD, it wouldn’t be bad if you like to bike, but that commute isn’t as painless as it looks on a map.

ParticipantTo use a sports analogy, Hillary is down 3-1 in a seven game series. Obama more or less has it wrapped up, but there’s no reason not to play out the last game or two. The main reason for the renewed “Hillary should quit” media chatter is this huge gap between primaries. The “Obama’s old Pastor” story seems to be running out of gas, as is the Spitzer-prostitute sotry. The media needs to talk about something. Hillary is almost mathematically out of it, but technically still has a shot.
Really, if the party decides an extended primary season isn’t good for it, maybe it should change the rules to require all the states to have their primary by the end of March or something next time around.

ParticipantI couldn’t find the word “inflation” anywhere in this thread about $4 gas, which is odd for this board.
We have a loose monetary policy right now, which is causing the dollar to plummet. Hence, the price of goods we import is skyrocketing.
Ideally: As gas prices rise and show no signs of stopping, people will abandon their Hummers and huge SUVs and switch to more fuel efficient compacts and sedans.
Worst Case: High energy prices will create a political will to shift more of our energy production needs back to coal, with little regard for environmental impact.
Of course, there are tons of other possibilities in there, but yeah, don’t expect energy prices to plummet too much in the future.

ParticipantNo one is really sure why Latino and Asian Democrats tilted so heavily in favor of Clinton in the California primaries. One could suppose if the women leaned for Hillary and the men were evenly split it would create some of the gap, but that’s not enough. Policy wise, Obama and Hillary overlap heavily, but Obama tends to do better at pulling independants and moderates.
To correct the gross mis-statement Kev made, the Bush tax cuts that will be rolled back primarily only affect those making over $250k a year. I think most Americans have realized at this point that those tax cuts really only benefitted the uber-rich, while throwing a tiny bone to the middle class (And if you’re sub 100K a year, you’re middle class, and should vote Democrat if you’re voting with your pocketbook)
