Looks like the latest polls have Rudi and Hillary as the nominees. I see Thompson has slipped significantly in the past week or two and so has Obama.

Looks like Rudi has an average 10.7 point lead over Thompson. Good because I think Rudi would make the better President even though I don't agree with him on several issues.

Hillary has a commanding average 25.6 point lead over Obama. Maybe she will pick him to run as VP.

Realclearpolitics is a bad source. They're so pro-Hillary in the Dem nomination that it isn't even funny.

At this point, there are still 3 months to go, and we are not yet condemned to a Clinton Presidency quite yet.

On the other hand, I'm looking foward to seeing Bush III get trounced if he actually beats Multiple Choice Mitt and Grandpa Fred.

I don't see why you say they are a bad source. If you looked, the only thing they did is take the average of several other polls. Looks rather un-biased to me.

Whom do you classify as Bush III? If it's Rudi, you are way off base as they aren't even close on a very many issues.

Bush III on corruption
Bush III on fucking up the war on terror
Bush III on nepotism
Bush III on torture
Bush III on the violation of Civil Rights

He's a worse George W.

I thought it was obvious. Rudy Giulliani, the other "serious" Republican candidate (I hesitate to label any of them serious, though, all things considered). The man will be a disaster for the Republicans, given his history of scandal and inneptitude. I look foward to the International Brotherhood of Firefighters running ads against him if he wins.

Why does it matter?

As a matter of fact, I am supporting a candidate, but I'm increasingly doubtful that they will make it out of the primaries, and I am bracing myself to only vote for Clinton if it looks like my vote will be important.

Why would you vote for Clinton? Why does anyone want to vote for Clinton? I'm from NY and I've always been against her, especially since it was painfully obvious she was just using her post as senator as a stepping stone to the white house.

And I don't get to vote in primaries.

Both are awful.

Guliani is slightly less bad, because his record is not one of unmitigated failure: unlike Hillary, who has to be one of the most ineffective senators in history.

If you wanted to help your candidate by trying to convince people he/she is the best candidate and involve yourself in some discussion, it matters. But, it is obvious you don't want to participate in the discussion other than to deride other candidates. So, I have nothing more to say to you.

Hey, I took the "Redefeat Communism" off the picture because I know she is not a Communist. She is a Socialist. She is for Socialized medicine, she is for giving every child a $ 5,000.00 savings bond at birth, she is for re-distribution of wealth. She wants to take money away from those who earn it and give to those who don't instead of helping people out of poverty through education and employment.

I'd gladly promote my candidate in a forum where it was something that would help. This forum is not one of them. My candidate is already the majority candidate on this forum, and amongst those who do not support them, it is pointless to say anything.

On forums where it is profitable to my candidate, I discuss them. It is not profitable to do so here. Now where is my response to substantive critiscisms of Bush III?

And that is exactly what Hillary wants to do with some of her programs. That is why I say she is a socialist, just like FDR was a socialist.

Not all of the games are that slow. Look at Jocabia's "Mafia: The Original!" game. It's been speedy speedy. (And my Star Trek based one will be too if I have anything to say about it!)

Romney would be thrashing Guiliani if he wasn't a Mormon. Apparently fear of non-Protestants and terrorism are keeping Guiliani in the lead.

That one word makes her not a socialist.
