		<description>Bilbo Hussein Baggins, I agree that Bush has opened the eyes of a lot of R&#039;s, I hope the digsust for the fratboy carries through to a general feeling for the Repug party.

RHF, please explain the process wherein Hillary will get the nomination?  Doesn&#039;t it have to include the superdelegates voting contrary to the popular vote?  Or some pledged delegates swithing their votes?

I will vote for whichever of the two is nominated, since another 4 years of Repugs could be the ruination of the country.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;The R’s will always and forever pull the R lever, regardless of whose name is on it. If the D’s don’t coalesce soon, we may see McCain.&lt;/em&gt;

I think that may change this time.  I know five people who were once a Republican who are now either registered Democrats or Independents.  I also know a couple more Republicans who are going to vote for Obama.  There is the 28% who will always vote for the &quot;R&quot; rather than the most qualified candidate, but that won&#039;t win an election.  By the time of the election, the Republicans will be exposed for who they are and what they stand for and since a majority of Americans are in need of a change, that will not bode well for the Republicans.

As far as the infighting between the Democrats is concerned, I wouldn&#039;t worry about that.  Once the nomination is in the bag, I really think that all Democrats will settle down and get behind the candidate (except for the bigots, there&#039;s nothing we can do about them).  I really can&#039;t see any self-respecting Democrat voting for McCain.  I know a lot of Hillary supporters say that&#039;s what they will do (and even a few Obama supporters), but in the end I believe they will do what is right for the country.</description>

		<description>nanlichi, hope for NC and Penn to go to Obama and we will be fine. Obama would take it from there. With Hillary, we&#039;d have to push antsy dems that she&#039;s likely than McCain to be open-minded to stopping the war, though she&#039;s more war-minded than Obama.</description>

		<description>McWars,

I hope you are right.  I started out a Hillary fan, swung to Obama during the debates, and am getting a really bad taste in my mouth as I see Hillary willing to hurt the party for her selfish motives.

I didn&#039;t think there was any way we could lose in 04, after watching the Chimp destroy our country and was proved wrong.  The R&#039;s will always and forever pull the R lever, regardless of whose name is on it.  If the D&#039;s don&#039;t coalesce soon, we may see McCain.

My scotch budget isn&#039;t big enough for another disappointment.</description>

		<description>We may be disappointed with Hillary&#039;s lies right now, nanlichi, but I&#039;m going to have to disagree with you. 

Democratic voters are registering in great numbers, and I highly doubt that Republican voters are going to be motivated to this polls at the same rate this fall.

I could go on, but Hillary, if she takes the nomination, would have 70% of what Obama has to offer, while McCain has 0%.

It&#039;s increasing less likely that Hillary will take the nomination, take some comfort, but this can&#039;t be all-or-nothing for the dems.</description>

Here’s McCain on the budget:

Already tight household budgets are getting tighter.

Now, that’s a brilliant statement if I have ever heard one.&lt;/em&gt;

And incomplete. He left off the ending: &quot;but, my friends, at least we have endless war.&quot;</description>

		<description>McCain is also being advised by Kevin &quot;Dow 36,000&quot; Hassett. So whatever McCain&#039;s own shortcomings, his own experts happen to be the laughing stock of the economics fraternity.</description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t this Holtz-Eakin head of the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan governmental group? How can he now pretend that more tax cuts for the wealthy will improve our budgetary condition?</description>
