Looks like it's over to me...
.... I think all that's really left is to find out if Kerry chooses Edwards
as his running mate. I hope so. So, as Dean's performance during 2003 inspired all my political postings here, and since his campaign has obviously fizzled, I guess I'll leave you all alone until the real fight begins next July and ends next Nov. See you then. :-)~ |

Sandy reprises her swan song one more time:

See you then. :-)~ Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Bozo! You made a real clown of yourself these past few months with your rah-rah cheerleading for Howard 'Primal Scream' Dean. Being the whacked-out long-in-the-tooth 60s radical that you are, ain't you gonna throw your inconsequential support to 'Hanoi John' Kerry? BWAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAA!!!!!!!! GeoSynch |

Anything can happen with all of the large states still open AND the possibility that one of the other candidates will throw their votes/support to another candidate at the last minute. Wait until Texas, NY, Florida, Illinois, and California are all in. I fail to see why they get so worked up over all of the small states early on. A win in California for Dean, for instance... |

Main reason: record numbers of Dems are voting in the primaries primarily because the despise Bush and see Kerry as the most "electable", whatever the f*** that's supposed to mean. The only really good news is that Edwards is still going strong, he could win or be the VP, and as the most articulate spokesman since JFK and RFK, he could demolish Cheney in any public debate. At this point, Kerry has learned enough from Dean and Edwards that he could cause Bush to go through a total meltdown in any debate. Besides, Bushco is going to continue to self-destruct as more and more of their slime becomes public in the next 8-9 months. Kerry and Edwards know how to campaign and speak effectively in public, which Dean never learned to do, beyond his summer stump rally speaches. Bottom line: Bushco is toast. Record numbers of Democrats are activated enoughtto go to the polls, and anytime that happens, Republicans lose, and lose big. We have one person to thank for that: George W. Bush. |

The choice of Giuliani as VP would be a masterstroke for the Republicans, *if* Rudy could be convinced to become VP (that's almost a demotion). However, since it's fairly likely that he's a prime GOP candidate for Prez in the next 8 years or so, this might be perfect to fulfil his ambitions, so it might not take a lot of arm-twisting. it would position him to succeed President Bush, *if* Bush gets elected. |

You can expect record numbers of ****ed off edlerly democrats who still feel the sting from the last election's mess to march into the polls and tripple-check every single ballot. While I agree with you that most of the elderly Democrats will turn out in higher numbers to vote against Bush, one unfortunate possible offsetting variable in Florida is the everincreasing number of Hispanic voters, especially those from Cuba, who invariably vote for Republicans because of the perceived lack of toughness amongst Democrats when it comes to dealing with the Castro regime. This issue seems to dominate their thinking above all the more "domestic" issues that others care about more.

But if that is the requirement for the job rather than being Hispanic per se then there is no preferential treatment for being Hispanic. If there is then it is illegal. |

Who knows? Obie might be facing deportation. No big loss. One dirthole is pretty much the same as any other. Of course, this comes from living in L.A. for 15 years. Ecch. I could probably move to Cairo and live in just as nasty a place. (ex and child keeps me here - otherwise I'd leave a smoking trail out of the state in seconds) This explains your bitterness. Well, California sucks. Try starting a business in this hellhole. |

I'd rather have you tell me how you have suffered from the prefferential treatment of hispanics or any other minority. It's not a matter of whether or not you personally suffered so much as what incentives they get that I do not. What incentives do they get that you do not? How does this adversly affect the quality of your life? |

I'm now a minority in California according to the recent census, if not legally(darn it - they outnumber me and still get preferental treatment - sure feels fair to me) What preferential treatment do they get over you? Oh man - where to start... Just do a search online for government programs for minorities. The problem is that once you are declared a minority, nobody ever checks to see if it's true a couple of decades later. Caucasian is of course, exempted from the process, so that even if you are eventually 10%, you're never a minority. Um - what about an even playing field? This isn't 1950 afterall. Do minorities change their color or sex every ten years?? Well, maybe sex, they could do that More importantly accumulated wealth wasn't redistributed. Not for lack of trying. Even if it were true that things were fair going forward, the advantages of accumulated wealth would overwhelmingly accrue to those who were, all else equal, not descended from slaves or subject to Jim Crow or other forms of discrimination. -- Jacob Kramer So, nobody here starts from nothing and gets rich through their own efforts? There are no rich minorities? Better check your facts. |
