Final N.H. primary polls have Kerry up front, Dean next, Edwards, Clark vying for third

PLYMOUTH, N.H. — With just a few hours left until the polls close in New Hampshire, the Democratic presidential contenders continued to pound the pavement Tuesday and hoped all of their hard-core campaigning and get-out-the-vote efforts would pay off when the votes were tallied.

I smell a vast right-wing conspiracy...:laugh:

Now Now Now - I pull from all sources!!!! Besides, if you do not read all sources how do you know opposite views!! :laugh:

Actually, I think Fox News is okay, but they are far from "fair and balanced." I think, on the other hand CNN is the fairest and most balanced. I had this discussion with a friend awhile back and they were like, well Fox just tells it like it is. I was like no they don't. I mean for like the past three months they had an article (sometimes two) on the front page slamming Dean (granted he makes it easy). It does not take a rocket scientist to see Fox was doing this because Dean was the D front runner at the time. Moreover, I have no problem with Fox news being slanted to the right. I just have a problem with them implying "fair and balanced" means they present an unbiased approach :rolleyes:

Also, depsite what anyone says, I still think Bill O'Reilly is not that conservative :laugh:

Plus - I love that you and goldie must go there to read the articles :laugh: Maybe I'll site www.cbn.com next!!!!!!

Okay - here is Bill O slamming W about the botched WMD Kay report. To wit: "Finally, there's no question the White House was not skeptical enough when it came to Iraq. Bush wanted Saddam's head. And any information that led to that end was encouraged. That is not the way to conduct foreign policy in this very dangerous world. Any and all mistakes will come back to haunt."

Anyone want to say Billy O blindly supports W? :cool:

It's about time that fool started talking sense!

But I still say that Faux News is "Fair and Balanced? My ass!"

YAY!! :blob1: :blob2:

He's going to need Edwards to win the South though. The dems around here where I live are still like:

"Whatever, I ain't votin' for no damn yankee!"

So Edwards as VP could help the Dems greatly. Unfortunately, Edwards was just on CNN saying that he would not except a VP nomination. However, i have a feeling he will be changing his tune in a couple weeks. If Edwards doesn't win SC, he's going to have to start looking at that VP nod a little more closely, methinks.

I never understood the whole Bill O'Reilly is a conservative thing. He is conservative on some issues, but he's more liberal on others. Dan Rather lets his liberal leanings show through sometimes too. Oh, well. Journalists are only human, like everyone else. It's impossible to achieve true objectivity.

Faux News is so conservative that my house tips to the right every time I watch it.

Ever notice that right before they cut to commercial break, they *always* say "Stay here for Fox News, the station America trusts for fair and balanced news." I go into hysterics when I hear that GOP whore Sean Hannity say it because it's so ridiculous. It's not even worth watching because it so tainted towards one side. The fact of the matter is, news folks practically take an oath to stay objective, yet almost everyone at Fox News lets their personal feelings get in the way of their job. And it's no help that Fox is owned by that neo-con bastard Murdoch (who isn't even American!).

You know what? Screw the South. The South sold its soul to the Republicans anyway. John Kerry is absolutely right in saying he doesn't need the South to win. The South needs a lesson. :nod:

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. If John Kerry hadn't won New Hampshire, the pundits would be writing his eulogy right now. But he did as expected. That, however, doesn't mean the race is over. Dean is recovering. He still has a great chance. Edwards should pack up his nice-guy bull**** and go join the Republican Party or something. So should Lieberman. Why is he even in the Democratic Party!!???

What happened to being delicate :laugh: :shrug:

CarneVaca 01-28-2004 11:57 AM

Uhm.... I had a minor relapse. Though, consider it from this angle: It gets positively tiring to hear how the South is so all-important in these elections. But that's old thinking. The Democratic Party needs to move on, and set its sights on other demographies, as I've explained before. I have nothing personally against the South, and in fact have enjoyed myself immensely when visiting, but The South ain't a make-or-break region for a Democratic candidate. Or it doesn't have to be.

Just wait until next Tuesday! :nod: :D

He will never get the nomination. The Democrats will never put him up against Bush, it would be illogical, IMO.

I love Edwards and I hope they do consider him for VP. Every time I see him he is smiling. I love his positive message. We need it.

Dan Rather is an old school conservative. :confused:

Agreed. Although I will say that his speech last night was the best I've ever seen him. I'm not willing to go through another four years of on the job training for a president though.

Yeah, well, I'm still not convinced that he didn't have anything to do with that memo to his supporters; it seems fishy to me. And I love how the whole thing got swept under the rug and barely made national news.

Really? I thought Rather was trying to bully him into a corner. And on election night 2000, he looked like he was about to vomit every time he said Bush took a state. (As I'm sure many in this country were.) He just always seemed liberal to me. :shrug:

He's conservative, but even conservatives felt like vomitting over Bush. He's a slimeball and most people can see through it lately. :D

I think perhaps it's personal. Remember his shouting match with Bush Senior during an interview years ago? Perhaps those old feelings are visited on the son.
Rather does have a temper. I remember he walked off the set once when his news program was pre-empted by the US Open (tennis) & left CBS with blank air in his protest.
