And that is exactly why I think someone like Paul if he can get himself talked about by the major medias has a chance.
People of both sides are disgusted

Anyone Bill Clinton campaigns for always winds up losing. Looks like his good luck has blessed his wife

(Plus, all the places he stumps for her, he goes on and on about himself, very seldom even mentioning her!)

You're right about that. The numbers I saw indicated approx 230,000 Dems showing up to caucus in Iowa and only 120,000 Reps.

Analysts said that was because virtually all independents went for Democratic candidates, mainly Obama and Edwards. In addition, Obama has caused many new young voters to come, and people who have not bothered to vote in the past.

Face it, the Republicans are doomed in this year's election. This election will be a repeat of 1964.

I hope that they actually don't ban some guns. I will be pissed if I have to give up any of Assault rifles, especially if the government offers no compensation.

It would be interesting to see how many vote in the general elections in November.

I'm willing to bet that the voter turn out from these forums will probably mirror the national voter turn out percentage.

I dunno, Ack-ack. If you take all of the eligible, registered voters' on this BBS, I'm sure More of a percentage than you see in here, versus what will turn out on a national average, will vote. How they vote is a different issue.

I simply cannot accept another president who disavows evolution. Huckabee speaks well, but his history as a fatty, his bad teeth and his god fearing ways speak leaps about his weak machismo.

All kidding aside... As a young, middle class, educated American I have been wholeheartedly ashamed and embarrassed by the ill political environment of Washington and the actions of our broken republic abroad.

Obama has my vote.

I believe Obama to be the pure change candidate (aside from Paul). We don't need experience. We need change.

Taxes need to be raised, the debt needs to be paid down. Education needs to be center stage. Time to get real and clean shop.

I'm more sick of big business's hand in politics than I am of big government. The size of the government has grown under the republican admin anyway.

I'm sick of our over extended foreign policy and our HUGE defense budget. I'm sick of a weak dollar and our dismal reputation abroad.

America shouldn't be polarized between red and blue. It should be polarized between fiscally realistic and fiscally retarded. The current administration being the former.

Frankly, the only people who won are the 2 candidates that get a little more media coverage in the next 5 days (until New Hampshire), the people of Iowa who raked in more than 100 million dollars of money spent there, and the media for ramming the opinions of a small fraction of Iowa voters (less people than one district of other states) down our throat.

National polls are the same, regardless of what the few in Iowa decided. However, I am very happy that Dodd did so poorly... our beloved Connecticut Senator decided to pack up and move to Iowa, family and all, in a hopeless attempt to draw support from Iowa while missing almost every vote in Congress. I sent Dodd an e-mail last night, thanking him for not putting his ambitions ahead of Connecticut residents and to enjoy his retirement as few will vote for him in the future.

Pretty much the same feelings I have.. I will most likely vote for Obama I've watched him awhile and I've yet to see anything about him I don't like.

I think a Obama / Edwards ticket would be the real deal. They both have similar ideas but still different enough to bring in their own supporters to the table. Obama has the money behind him and Edwards is short on cash, sounds like the perfect match to me.

Hillary on the other hand would be too much like Bush in reguards to dividing this nation even more than it is.

I'd take that bet. I think those who post here are on average more expressive of their opinions than the general populace. We could take a poll but how many here would admit to not voting if they didn't?

Obama took Mama to school.

I read that Obama's speech was "historic" and will be remembered for generations to come, so I read the transcript.

It read like meaningless gibberish. No content at all. I highly recommend turning off your TV set to clearly see that "blah, blah, blah" means blah, blah blah, and nothing more.
