Giuliani will come on stage in Orlando, FL at top of the 9:00 pm ET hour.

Now that is interesting!  

I never thought he liked McCain
So long jagoff!
You know.. as a Democrat, I've always had a positive view of McCain, but if he says "my friends" one more time, I might have to slap him.  Also, anyone else bothered by his "straight talk" on war?  He makes it sound like we're entering a 1,000 year perpetual war.  While the others are running on promises of education, economic progress, etc...  We get to vote for him to ensure endless war?  Wow!...  Wow :(
Rudy is such a waste of time.
Does McCain really want the endorsement of someone who crashed and burned so hard?  I guess it will be good for McCain as long as Rudy doesn't campaign for him or send any of his strategists over.
WHEN WILL HILLARY DROP OUT AND ENDORSE OBAMA?

OR WILL SHE WIAT TO BE DRAGGED OFF THE STAGE?

LOVE YOU, HILL. BUT THIS MOMENT IS NOT YOURS.
Be it so, we are still faced with the scandal, slime, and shame the Clinton's represent! The Clinton's are dragging the country into the gutter, Never has this nation unity been driven so far apart!

Washington self sering paper hangers have destroyed the voice of the people! it is our right to remove these people from their endless self serving agenda!

Last night there was mention of starving in other countries, yet our starving and homeless in Washington's eyes means nothing, our jobless and homes are being taken away by greed, our industry has escaped to other shores as to not having to pay tax. Our infrastructure crumbles as Washington has failed to seal the borders.

No issues,be it great or small from top to bottom are off limits to being resolved!

The American voice has been shunned!

The Clinton's want a free ticket back to Washington , this time to rule!!  

Cancel that trip, Vote """NO""""
Hi Sara Jane, I have to disagree with you. Hillary Clinton will boot out the sawdust and deadwood that is lurking in the halls of the Capitol. She proved her mettle in those years when the Republicans were constantly raking up dirt. She not only is brilliant, she has an inovative plan to restore us to the world stage with respect.
Past presidents have dallied with the ladies but the times were more respectful of privacy. I am an active Republican.. and I say, Vote for the Woman of our times, Hillary Rodham clinton. The men have had it since the inception days of the Country. The time has come for a woman to step up to the plate and restore some dignity to the White House and to our Country. It has always been the woman's task to clean up the mess that men make.
Obama-Napolitano versus McCain-Romney? ("Let's have a McCain-Romney ticket, except they hate each other", as some commentator said.) It would be quite a nice contest, senators as Presidents and governors as Vice-presidents. Great debates.
HUGE win for McCain.  A Giuliani endorsement will just about insure that McCain will win NY, NJ, Conn and most of California.  Romney is in serious trouble.  The question becomes, will Romney hold back spending his own money going into Super tuesday.  He may be ambitious, but he also is a realist.  If so, the republican race is going to become a love fest.  Romney was McCain only threat.  

Now what to do with the Neo cons and pundits (re hannity and rush) who have ripped McCain.  Do they make peace?  
Hillary on TV making Promises, she can't keep. Florida delegates Won't be seated UNTIL a Nominee is SELECTED.Daum, Why did I vote for That State legeslature that screwed up MY vote again?


"DELUSIONAL THINKING BY COMMON SENSE AMERICAN'S IS OVER"


Billary is bound & determined to take Down our Beloved Democratic Party.VOTER'S ARE WE GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN?

Hopefully after the Real Democrat, Ted Kennedy  bring's some Civility to the Masses out on the campaign trail, the Clinton's will learn where the real connection's are. Watch out for the Blue Dress, White stain AD in the few week's.
Looks like there is a possibility that four more years of a Dubya wannabe might occupy the White House. Want four more years of what we put up with for seven, vote for McCain. Want something more frightening to keep you awake tonight, Rudy is working hard to be his running mate!
If Rudy supports McCain, that will be a big boost for McCain. And, if Huckabee continues he will pull potential support away from Romney. I guess Paul and Romney are similar in one way, the other GOP candidates don't like them and gang up on them (their positions). For Paul, it is an impossible task to win the nomination. For Romney, it will take some incredible ingenuity.
Hil Clinton will restore economy to what it was in Bill's  time. People forget how much he helped people ,Bill wasn't perfect person but excellent pres.  Obama is undercover racist, arrogant,and under qualified,, nothing like JFK
HMMMM, Maybe he wants to be the head of Homeland Security, then we can really say, "GOOD JOB BROWNIE NOSE"!
Boy, Senator Obamas people are really upset today, they post on a thread that does not even mention Senator Clinton.
