Last ditch effort by the Clinton machine to link Obama to the Muslim world...most Americans think of Muslim fundamentalists and Al Quaida when Indonesia comes to mind.

Why report this?

I think you said why.

It angers me that the corporate controlled media wastes our time with this nonsense. There are plenty of big-time issues we need to stay focused on. To try to affect the ignorant voters with non-issues like this is irresponsible no matter which candidate may benefit.

Get a clue, the American voter who will be voting on ST has little or no resemblance to the people posting on P&N. If anything, the P&N set is better informed on the issues and more opinionated. It will be the future events of 2008 that will swing the election.

Of course it has no resemblance or impact on ST. None of what is discussed here is going to have much of an impact outside this forum. Maybe I'm alone but I think it's interesting to see who people voted for in the past and who they are voting for this year.

7 Months for Huck to make his case to the American people. I think you'll be in for an upset.

I saw that as well. Ridiculous. Lemme see if I can find a link.

edit: seems Drudge is the only one with it right now; just a line at the top of the page, no story attached.

It's true, if Huckabee convinced America to elect him president, I would be very upset.

The early Huckabee victory was planned to steal momentum from Romney, particularly in southern states.

A vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain.

:thumbsup:

and anyone who doesn't think McCain and Huckabee have been working together since at least NH to take down Robo-Romney is crazy.

kinda makes me like the Huckster a little more.

just goes to show you, working together > throwing millions and millions of dollars at a problem and hoping for the best.

the more this campaign goes on, the more I hate Romney... it's starting to rival my hatred of Kerry :p I mean, it's one thing to be stupid because you don't know any better and really believe your stupidity (Huckabee); it's something else to embrace stupidity knowingly.

Yup, Romney is urging Huckabee to drop out now to stop stealing his votes

Like I said, he isn't stealing Romney's votes, he is taking McCain's. Hucks supporters will go to McCain IF Huck dropped out, which he won't.

Now, had Romney dropped out huck would have won by a landslide.

guess it depends on whether or not anyone's buying Robo's "I'm the real conservative candidate" show and ignoring the gay marriage/universal health care behind the curtain.
