Senators compromise on filibusters

I am sorry darling

THe real question is who will the D's put up. It most certainly is Hillary's if she wants it. Other than Hillary, I can see John Breaux, who is very moderate and well liked and from the South. He has been out of politics for awhile now - so who knows. It is widely rumored Clark will run again - in fact my friends who had dinner with him not that long ago implied as such. Dean is just too nuts, though I like him. I think if the D's put up a ball breaker like Dean, they may have a chance, but it is still too early to tell.

It's okay, I've had the same nightmares before, so I know how to deal.

If they want to lose, they'll nominate Hillary.

Clark would be a fool to run again. He'd have as much success as Braun, bless her heart because I love her dearly. Clark is the man who said marriage was an "art" and that intelligence was a "gray goo." Wouldn't even get my vote and they'd play that clip of him and Michael Moore 24/7 on the tittytainment news channels.

I wonder if they'll dare to nominate Obama, actually.

I spray my shorts at the thought. Gawd, I love her. She's got a hefty pair of brass balls.

As VP maybe - but not as Pres. because ignoring the obvious racial issue (which is sad) he will perhaps correctly be considered inexperienced. He would, however, make a GREAT VP to Hillary's Pres. He would and could bring much of the black vote that went to the R's due to the gay marriage red herring. I think Hillary could win, depending on the R's candidate. Against, Rudy, she would most likely lose because NY would then be up for grabs. Against Frist or some other hardline right winger, she would would do better because she is seen as moderate, which in fact she is though the right paint her as horribly liberal.

I think Hillary alone would get the black vote, she doesn't really need Obama for it. Her last name is Clinton, after all, and her husband is Bill.

Have I ever said how much I can't stand Obama? Oh, man, he's right up there with Bush for me on the obnoxious scale.

I think he is okay enough I guess - but he is a little too smooth in that creepy preacher way for my taste

Ooh, good description.

I find him to be so phoney and cheap. He really gets under my skin. I wouldn't vote for him EVER. I'd stay home from the polls before that happened.
