Sorry Lorica. Figure of speech. My bad.

I’ll be freaking out if Hillary gets the dem nomination. Can’t stand her.

Before everyone freaks out, we’ve only had primaries in one state, so we have to wait and see who’s running against who.

To be technical, A) I wasn’t freeking out, I was explaining my thoughts on Hitlery. And any and all alternatves options that I could think of logically. We do not know what is in the mind of a person who has such a craven need for power. B) There has only been a Caucus, which is as much about platform than it is about candidates, NH is the first primary. – Lorica

If Clinton loses in NH, do you think she will fold?

No way. She’s got too much money and too extensive an organization to drop out after one caucus and one primary, both in smaller states. She’s got to be looking to the big states to save her on Super Tuesday a month from now. If she’s wiped out then as well, maybe we can start a rousing chorus of “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.” But for the next five weeks, it’s too early to think about that.

Obama wouldn’t pick Hillary for VP in a million years. She’d want the oval office and make him move into the VP office, just like she tried to steal Al Gore’s office for herself when she was first lady.

I don’t know GWR.

I heard some scary thoughts on Medved today concerning Hillary.

The thoughts are that she could go for the Veep seat, if she couldn’t get Presdient. One being that after this, Hillary will be unelectable….

But if she is Veep, she still makes history as the first woman to be VP, [b]AND[/b] when Obama’s term is up, she will be a shoe in with experience as the next president.

The other scary thought was that it has been a long time since we have had something bad happen to a president, and if something did, she would be president from VP.

There is also another interesting thing that got me thinking that I heard, is that if McCain picks Lieberman to be VP, they would be a very good team to go up against a Obama / Clinton ticket. Also that even though Lieberman is Independent, he does caucus withthe Democrats, but if he was VP with McCain, he would caucus with the Republicans thus swinging the balance of power there too.

I caught the porcelin comment too. The whole ST room is going nuts that you said Obama would beat Huckabee in a general election.

Between Hucabee and Obama, Obama gets my vote, based on the fact that he’s staying out of the mud and still able to be successful.

Before everyone freaks out, we’ve only had primaries in one state, so we have to wait and see who’s running against who. To be honest, I wouldn’t vote for a dem, but I won’t vote at all, unless it’s obvious who I want to win.

Obama wouldn’t pick Hillary for VP in a million years. She’d want the oval office and make him move into the VP office, just like she tried to steal Al Gore’s office for herself when she was first lady.

Luckily for Al Gore, Bill stood up to her for once and told her how the cow ate the cabbage.

if Obama does win the Dem nomination, he has the Clinton War Room to deal with. Clinton will wait 4 years for her presidency, but she ain’t gonna wait 8. If there is any dirt out there, Clinton has it.

And you’re about to see it in all its ugliness, Lorica. Up till now, the Hildebeest hasn’t taken the slime machine known as the Clinton War Room out of second gear, expecting it wouldn’t be needed yet. Once her coronation in Iowa was done, Silky Pony and Empty Suit were supposed to fade into oblivion and the War Room could be left idling waiting for the general election.

But now that she’s lost Iowa, I expect that the slimy tactics and dirty tricks will become harsher and more frequent. No more half-measures like speculating about what Obama told his kindergarten teacher. You’d better believe there were some lamps being thrown around the room and shrill XXX-rated language used when she met with her campaign staff today. They’ve probably already got orders to go negative big time before NH votes.

The interesting thing is that while she may fail to win the nomination, in doing so she may fatally damage Obama’s chances in November as well. Which would be supremely ironic if he were to put her in the VP slot on the ticket.

If Huckabee goes up against Obama, he is toast.

Now Sanity, you don’t know that. Obama is not formidable. Also, if Obama does win the Dem nomination, he has the Clinton War Room to deal with. Clinton will wait 4 years for her presidency, but she ain’t gonna wait 8. If there is any dirt out there, Clinton has it.

Now the above scenario holds true only if Obama doesn’t choose her as Veep. In which case Obama won’t live to see 2nd term in office. – Lorica

This is a person closely associated with teh Huckabee campaign, someone who represents it and what it stands for, and I hear these comments like you mentioned and make me think even less of Huckabee.

When questioned on it, the campaign manager (rollins) said, it doesn’t matter, they are porcelain anyways. When talking about knocking out Romneys teeth.

If Huckabee goes up against Obama, he is toast. Sounds like Rollins is all about getting in the mud and getting dirty, while Obama seems ot have won the top spot without lowering himself into the muck and mire. Many people admire that, while viewing the tactics that Rollins enspouses as old and outdated.

On the republican side, Huckabee doesn’t really excite me at this point. I like Romney as he comes across as genuine also, and I believe he has business experience and smarts that will be needed to keep the country going forward.

The infighting between the candidates is a turn off on both sides, but I guess a necessary evil. Each time I see a candidate take a shot at another candidate, they drop down a little on my scale, unless it’s constructive criticism.
