wrote: I doubt Huckabee will survive long in the Primaries. He'll be way behind in any of the New Hamsphire vote and I suspect Super-Tuesday will kill him, if he isn't already dead in the water by then. -Tom Sr. snip Which means that unless Giuiliani can win, we'll get Romney. I'm sure that works fine for Dems because the RR isn't likely to give him enough support to keep even Hillary out of office. Agreed. The stories I got out of Iowa tonight a 1.) Record youth turnout at the Dem caucuses, and record turnout by all Democrats. That played well for Obama, not-so-hot for Edwards He took 2nd in a virtual tie with third place Clinton. That Clinton didn't finish first is notable, that Edwards did as well as she did is a miracle. But can he keep it up? He's got to do better than third place in at least the next three primaries to even have a chance. and badly for Clinton, who needed the middle-aged and older female vote that just didn't coalesce for her, and who went for...get this...Obama! And Edwards. Of the three, Hillary got the smallest share of that vote and ironically, it was a vote she was specially courting in Iowa. I'll bet the Clinton camp is worried ****less and getting ready for a major change in voter targeting. The real worry for Hillary isn't Obama, proper...rather it's that Edwards beat her, even if only by a nose. Lesson: Hillary's whole campaign needs to be retooled..."experience" doesn't work anymore, neither does her being a "change" agent. She's not a "change" agent, she's a return to the past. Not that the nineties is all that bad a past to return to . . . Of course, this is only IOWA...49 states left, not to mention "Tsunami Tuesday." "Super" Tuesday. I'll bet Georgia will go for Obama and Huckabee. Also, don't EVER forget..."Comeback Kid" Clinton LOVES to run as an underdog and so, naturally, does she. Bill has been a genius in working the "underdog" spot in every election he's ever been in, and yes...he's very active in Hillary's campaign strategy. Makes sense. 2.) 60% of ALL Republican caucusers were self-styled "evangelicals." If you follow the underlying Huckabee logic, he should have run the table, but he didn't. Telling is that 14% of "evangelicals" went for Romney! Enjoy it now, Huckleberry...America's not ready for yet another "talk to God" guy in the White House...not to mention one who resembles Gomer Pyle a bit too much for comfort. But he's the Republican most likely to turn out the Evangelical vote, just as Giuliani is the Repulican most likely to bleed votes off Clinton. 3.) BIG news of the GOP: Guiliani only pulled 3%! 3%!!!! Even Ron Paul beat him! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! In hindsight it makes sense. The RR won't vote for Giuliani, the midwest isn't likely to vote for a New Yorker and western independence and liberty voters are ones Ron Paul appeals to. So much for his "name recognition" and being "America's mayor." Yoo hoo, Rootie Tootie...it's not working anymore. Guiliani thinks that firing up late (in Florida, where he thinks all the snowbird retirees from NYC will all flock to him) And if they do? he can just assume the top slot from there into "Tsunami Tuesday," but that strategy could be his immediate undoing. He's done far to badly in Iowa. I'm not sure he can even be considered a serious contender. Giuliani's biggest influence on this election may end up being who he throws his support to by convention time. The Dems nominate first and their nominee will have a lot of influence on the Rep choice (unless one of them starts running away with the race). Mega-advantage: McCain, who may take New Hampshire and has already announced he'll be going, not to South Carolina, where the churchers will drool over Huckabee, but Michigan, where he can bury Romney on his home turf. Should McCain clean Romney's clock in MI, he can then kick Giuliani out of the #1 spot in the national polls...which Giuliani's been doing to himself just in the last couple of weeks anyway...and thus out of the box on "Tsunami Tuesday." If, if, if. McCain can still bleed a few left of center votes from the Dems but will the Fundies vote for him? 4.) Overall: BOTH parties are sick and tired of the status quo. Major error there, man. The PARTIES are perfectly happy with the status quo. It's the center that's sick and tired of it. Bush has destroyed the GOP machine that used to anoint their nominees prior to ANY primaries. "Experience" also isn't playing well to GOP voters anymore, just as it backfired on Hillary in Iowa. I mean, look at all the "experience" that Dumbsfeld and Cheney have, and they, along with their addled-brained boss, have almost tanked the whole country! Bush was no more experienced than Huckabee or Edwards when he was elected. His lack of knowledge about international issues was a major criticism of him by Dems in 2000. Same works against Hillary, whose refusal to abandon her Iraq position came back to bite her in the fanny. I understand it perfectly. She won't apologize because the mistake wasn't hers. It was the adminisration's for providing faulty information to the Congress in order to bypass reality and do what it wanted. Both Huckabee and Obama, for their respective parties, represent a complete "throw the bums out" attitude. I don't see that with Hucakbee. The only "throw the bums out" candidates I percieve are Obama, Edwards and Paul. This, however, will ultimately benefit McCain on the GOP side, but who gets the bow on the Dem side depends solely on how much overhauling of Clinton gets done by "Tsunami Tuesday." Edwards showed tonight that he can indeed cash in on the "change" platform, but he'd better be prepared to take on Obama head to head, NOT Hillary. I hate to make predictions 'cause I'm so often wrong, but I suspect a pair of very interesting conventions. Both parties seem to be splitting between candidates. Romney is pretty. He's just not fast on his feet and isn't well prepared to deal with his detractors. Huckabee is undeniably a Bush Republican. Devout, liberal and spendthrift, he's pure status quo and a likely GOP choice. McCain is going to have to work hard and that will take a toll on his health unless he has excellent staffing. Early picks in NH: Obama for the Dems, McCain for the GOP, but anything can happen in a week! Romney may unleash robotic Mormons into every nook and cranny of the state this weekend, so who knows? More likely Huckabee will try to flood the state with volunteers. One thing's for sure...for McCain to win in NH, he's got to stop hemorrhaging votes of the "indies" to Obama; else, Romney gets the win. Can't add anything to that. McCain offended his center by sucking up to the RR. He has to make up for that and fast. He also needs to give compelling arguments on issues other than Iraq. The voters are looking at other positions as well. He can do that now only by painting Obama as a "babe in the woods" compared to his own long Senate career as an "outsider," and he definitely has those credentials. Yes, McCain has a streak of that western state independence and that's something he may be able to capitalize on. Nobody seems yet to be going after him, but they'll start if he does well in NH.

Chalie Nudo makes a stupid post again- proving Charlie Nudo is a moron...again
On Fri, 4 Jan 2008 08:27:53 -0800 (PST), righttard Charlie "Noodles"
Nudo of Bear Run Dr., Drums, PA, this time posing as trippin-2-8-track (only one left of 29 banned Google Groups accounts) wrote: On Jan 3, 3:11*pm, DeserTBoB wrote: Here's my take at Iowa, although I'm not betting the farm on it...the race is still wide open even as the caucuses open: Democratic winner: *Clinton (or possibly Edwards) Republican winner: *Huckabee Out of contention by New Hampshi Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Thompson, Paul, Hunter. Rationale: *Clinton's been picking up the undecideds, and "soft" support for Obama is eroding. *Edwards, though, has the wind of momentum behind him going into caucus day. *Turnout is crucial for Obama, and he might not get all he needs of first timers to put him over, while ****ed off Maytag employees and union members for Edwards have been working very hard, as have Hillary's people, to boost their core turnout bases. *BIG negative for Obama: *"Oprahfest," which turns out to have turned OFF as many potential supporters as it was supposed to have turned ON. *Oprah's more polarizing than Hillary could ever be, and fawning housefraus who love her are more than offset by others who cannot STAND her. The BIG battle in New Hampshire is a weird one fostered by New Hampshire's wacky "open primary for independents only" system. *Now, we have Obama fighting for votes directly against McCain, of all people! *This could skew New Hampshire results to the point of irrelevance as far as the party nominations go, but would give McCain some badly needed fuel to burn into South Carolina, and could give Obama a lift after a probable loss to Clinton (or Edwards) in Iowa. Right now, Romney's the GOP favorite in New Hampshire, with Clinton back to leading Obama...but that's only among party regulars. *Once you throw the independents into the fray, things get murky, although it does make McCain a contender again, if a weak one. *Huckabee won't even come close in New Hampshire, and he's already in retrograde in Iowa, but may win there anyway, due to the robotic churcher vote. Those Episcopalians and Congregationalists in New England will have nothing of some southern preacher in THEIR neck o' the woods...ayuh! An Edwards win in Iowa could be parlayed into big news for him if he takes South Carolina, where he's got the home state advantage. *The GOP in SC is nothing but chaos, providing yet another opening for McCain. *Romney and Giuliani are both sinking there, where they're duking it out with Huckabee over the churchers. *A McCain win in SC will do the greatest damage to Romney, who was hoping to take the state in a cake walk after a big, paid-for win in New Hampshire. The sad fact of our flawed system is that we'll lose two excellent candidates, Joe Biden (D-DE) and Chris Dodd (D-CT). *Both are probably the best qualified in foreign and defense policy to hold office, but somehow never got what Nixon once called "the big bow" from the party or the public. *You have to throw Richardson in there for qualifications, too, but he's just plain unelectable. *The media's probably as much to blame for this as is the DNC, but at least we'll still have both of them in the Senate after the dust stops blowing. My gut tells me Richardson will wind up in a Cabinet post (his forte) shortly after the Democratic win in November. Over on the other side, the GOP doesn't lose much, if anything. Paul...tin foil hats, freemason demons *and black choppers. Hunter...California Republican Assembly-favored *whack job and defense contractor shill who probably won't even win reelection in his own district. *Tancredo at least had the sense to get out before getting steamrollered. As far as the general goes, voters favor "any Democrat" over "any Republican" by almost a 2/3 majority...big trouble for the GOP, AND big trouble for them "down ticket" for the Congressional and Senate races. *For once, whack job Pat Buchanan may be right in prognosticating that the GOP will cede all control of the House for many years to come. *I don't think the Dems can take cloture-proof control of the Senate (maybe in the mid-terms), but they'll easily pick up 5, and perhaps 6, seats. *With that, there will be enough leverage against northeastern and western Republican senators to provide a foil against right wing filibusters by wacky southerners and Texans. PREDICTION: *Dick Cheney will be indicted by Justice over "Plamegate" some time in '08, and will do a Nixonian stonewall, citing "executive privilege"...which he doesn't even have! see what I mean ? disregard anything this "DeserTBob" says- he's obviously in his own little world, and not living in reality Hillary came in 3rd- she's a dead player ! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080104/ap_po/clinton_9 snip Hey Noodles...bet your house on that. Please. I'd love to see you run out into the cold. NEVER count the "Comeback Kids" out of ANY race where they're behind. You, as usual, don't have the cranial horsepower to review history. If you did, you'd hedge any bet on Clinton being a "dead player." Even the biggest horse's ass in the Repug Party, Newt the Galoot Gingrich, agrees with me on that, as do some of your other heroes, like Pat Buchanan. Either party's winner in Iowa has a statistically proven 75% chance of getting the big nomination bow (but not the grand prize) at the end...but that only holds true in a race where there's an incumbent running on the other side. We haven't had a "wide open" race for the presidency like this since 1952...and you'll remember Iowa going to Estes Kefauver for the Dems, but Adlai Stevenson got the big bow...but then again, you're too stupid to even know that. '60 doesn't count, since Nixon was the "heir apparent" by virtue of having the VP slot and lost anyway. He then went on to get his ass kicked in California in '62 by Pat Brown, and then found "dirty tricks." For the GOP, Iowa has screwed up twice, once with "Bush The Smarter" in '80 (RayGun took the bow) and with Bob "The Wal-Mart Greeter" Dole in '88 (and "Bush The Smarter" took THAT one!) So go ahead and prognosticate Hillary as a "dead player." Bet your house on it...please. For more on the nut job I'm replying to, see: http://nudowatch.blogspot.com ....or just Google "Charlie Nudo" and be amazed! LONG VIEW: Brown Jr. will again run for governor of California once we're rid of Der Gröpenfuehrer. And yes, had CAN do that constitutionally (he ought to know...he's the AG now who kicked the Armenian threat Poochigian to the curb last time) and early straw polling shows him to be a front runner among Democratic Clubs in the state. The Calif. Republican Assembly, a wrinkled gathering of far right lunatics waning in statewide power, will try to run nut bag Tom McClintock yet again and could possibly be run out of the state GOP for all time should he lose...again. The CRA has polluted their state offices with hard bitten right wingers, and they have NO moderates to go up against Brown, thus giving him a big edge. Meanwhile, back at the smoking tent, AHHHnuld has all but left the GOP in everything but name only and has been openly fighting the Bushies, backing Brown's suit against the Bush EPA over their interference (remember "states right?" Wasn't that a REPUBLICAN theme??) over carbon emissions mandates passed by the Legislature and championed by AHHHnuld. |

That's why they like him. snip The righttards in trailers, yes...but the ones closer to the political center, the "mainline" congregations, have been vehemently opposed to the war and all of Bush's antics for quite some time. Many of these (such as well-off Episcopalians and the like) went for Bush based on greed two times. Will they make the same choice with Huckabee, even though he's got no credible record of prosperity (AND isn't the rabid tax cutter that such a constituency wants) when they have Mitt to promise them all that business acumen (warranted or not) to keep them rolling in dough? Downscale economically, rightward-learning-but-still centrist church goers may perceive Huckabee as a threat launched from the Southern Baptists. You watch...those Congregationalists and Episcopalians in New Hampshire will have NOTHING to do with Huckabee, even if he floods the state with robotic church nuts to walk precincts. On another front, the news was all over the nation's front pages this morning...we're poised for the FOURTH "Dubya Recession"...prime mortgages are melting down, employment is drying up, the dollars is sliding further, aided by the Chinese. All of the sudden, I hear, "It's the economy, stupid!" which kicked "Bush The Smarter" into the political scrap heap in '92. Could this be the remodeling job that Clinton needs to beat Obama, or will Iraq and "change" trump the economic message this time out? |
