"Lyman may have already pioneered a new breed of fundraising . . ."

Lyman's accomplishment is irreproducible by other campaigns in the sense that Ron Paul has a self-sustaining message; his message eschews publicity tricks, and has a font of essential conviction.

"Key women advisors to the Thompson, McCain, Rudy and Romney campaigns met for a panel discussion moderated by Kate O'Beirne at the National Press Club. There was a stark absence of whining, complaining or fretting about the life of a female campaign advisor and a consensus that Washington pollsters and pundits have missed the boat in labeling certain issues as "women's issues"

Hillary should learn from these smart articulate women.

Muckabee is turning into a crybaby. Thompson doesn't even believe he can win.

Romney has the money but no one gave it to him. Ron Paul has the money and tens of thousands of people gave it to him. Who has the real support? Hmm.

You forget the rank hypocrisy shown by Hillary[to her husbands more muted tones,as he was for the deal],regarding the Dubai ports mess that she blasted the president on,but made no mention of the fact that her husband and former top Clintonistas including press secretary Joe Lockhart were the prime American pointmen for the ports deal to begin with, making plenty of dough from the Emirate. The Clintons are awash in Middle Eastern money,with dozens of former GOP and Democrat politicians staking out claims as lobbyists for the various nations of that region of the world including the aforementioned Qatar,Dubai,Bahrain,and Saudi Arabia.

Lee, if you're saying that Democrats are just as big a bunch of whores as Republicans, then I'll agree and concede your point. If you are merely blasting Democrats for doing what Republicans have been doing, without retrospectively criticizing Republicans, I think you're off base.

You've repeatedly made the point in previous posts that "Big Business" is now lavishing its largesse on Democratic candidates. I won't dispute that, and imagine it's because "Big Business" thinks the Democrats are going to win, and they want to continue their ownership of our government.

Getting the endorsment of the SEIU (his second union endorsement, he was also endorsed by the massive Machinists & Aerospace Workers Union) is just another sign that Huckabee appeals to the working class in both parties...and another sign that he refuses to alienate anyone, and would be the best GOP candidate in a general election.

And Pat Robertson just lost what little credibility he was still hanging onto by endorsing a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage candidate in Giuliani. Hopefully Robertson can now fade away into oblivion...

It's interesting that so many Republicans support wars against Middle Eastern countries (for a variety of reasons) while their politicians all support those countries with jobs, money, military support, etc. Oh yeah, and the Clintons too.

How about we just get our government and military out of those countries and then see if Rudy, Cheney, the Bushes, and whomever else want to invest over there. Let them work it on their own. Blackwater will need to make a living so just let us stop subsidizing the mess with our tax dollars.

If you agree with me, Ron Paul is the best choice for President. If you don't agree with me, God help us all 'cuz it's not gonna get any better any time soon.

"Huckabee" and "conservative" are oxymorons. He's one of the biggest supporters of illegal aliens. In eight years as Arkansas governor, Huckabee raised taxes and government spending 65 percent above his predecessor BILL CLINTON. Making Bubba look like a tightwad and fiscal conservative by comparison is no small feat.

If you want a candidate with a decades-long track record of telling the truth and standing for freedom and liberty, it's Ron Paul for sure. How many other politicians refuse to collect a lucrative six-figure pension on principle? Dr. Paul is a man who practices what he preaches.

Aw, come on, now. How many times must it be explained?

Most of the tax increases Huckabee couldn't really touch. Like you said, he came after Clinton. An executive leader rides on the aftermath of his predecessor, so Huckabee did a *great* job considering he inherited Clinton's mess.

Ron Paul's never run anything.
That being said, I like Paul. He's got great ideas. I think he lacks leadership skills, though.

Scott: These revelations manifest themselves in creating a factual condition. Moore was out of line by attempting to tie Republicans solely to the fortunes of the Arab states.[indeed,one could hardly [www.zombietime.com for more on that including archival photos],witness an anti-war demonstration without the tie being made between the Bush administration and the Arabs.
In retrospect,we see flaws in such a tie. Democrats seeking to be lilywhite on the matter have egg on their faces,else we would have been witness to Hillarys full financial records long ago,which,as the Clinton bloc fears,will reveal these ties between they and the Arabs which include the Saudis.
Such hypocrisies[bear in mind that it was not a conservative filmmaker who went after Democrat relations with the Arabs],abound. Take MOVEON and Geroge Soros,or any of his innumerable PACS which are devoted to liberal or leftwinged causes. Beating up on Cheney and Bush for their relationship to the House of Saud and HALLIBURTON is all well and good,and creates appropriate bogiemen for the pitchfork and torch crowd to rail about.
But what occurs when your own PACS devoted to Exterminating The NeoCons are being padded with Saudi and HALLIBURTON monies even indirectly? Clinton does not want anyone to know how much Saudi loot they have stashed,this is certain. Nor does Soros want to explain how much of his vast wealth[when not gaming Euro currencies],was gleaned by arms sales to the Saudis,or by the two-plus million per month,he makes from HALLIBURTON stock dividends to this very day.
As I observed,former GOP legislators are working as Arab hired guns in the lobbying sector,but these are being outmatched by their Democrat counterparts now enconsed on K St. in Washington,who are actively pursuing trade agendas between the Saudis and other Arab states leaders,and a new Democrat administration they will [have already.Bill Clinton is a nominal leader here in his solid relationship with the Bahrainians,Qatarese,and Saudis], tout as being friendly to their desires. Of course,such agendas will be taken up by Congress,which as we all know,is under Democrat control.
