No matter who gets the nod on either side, it will likely be a Dem win in '08 (with an eye or two on those desperate people, as they can do & have done desperate things to win). Thank God... it is way past time for sanity to take over the reigns. We've been misled for all but 8 years of the last 27. My, how time flies.

Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani are the two that scare me the most. It is obvious that they are aggressively competing to be the next 'puppet' for the Special Interests and select few who have so powerfully backed Bush. And I wouldn't want to underestimate the ability of those backers to influence, or better said to manipulate, public opinion. Remember the up-front and not so up-front tactics of 2000 and 2004? Fred's political and professional history clearly depicts someone who takes direction, follows a script, does others' bidding while taking whatever he can get and with having little quality conviction of his own (a perfect 'puppet'). Rudy also qualifies for the 'puppet' role as he consistently demonstrates his willingness to subordinate himself and completely support the same interests as Bush does. I really don't want more of the same!

The $5,000 proposal was from their beloved Hillary (why does anyone in their right mind support Hillary who wants to take things away from you because you're not smart enough to know what to do with yur money - yes, she did say that) and attacking Pakistan was yet another democratic dipwad...

Yeah, the Reps are brainless wonders. My "own" Senator, Lisa Murkowski, was just on the radio amazed that the Russians had "just" claimed a good chunk of the Arctic Ocean bed for oil exploration.

It's been, what, a month now, since they planted a flag on the ocean floor to make that claim? She was "just amazed" when she "someone told her" about that.

Fred and Rudy and Mitt look GREAT! Please nominate any one of those guys, Republicans. Please, please, please.

A mistake about who controlled committee? What a blithering idiot! It's amazing Thompson knows how to breathe!

What's really amazing is how Democrats are so often beaten (or, from your perspective "stolen from") by idiot Republicans. Gosh, maybe those genius Dem candidates -- or possibly their supporters -- aren't as smart they think themselves.
