the north dakota is not vulnurable. The next time the republicans have a shot to win a seat from here is when oneof the current delegation dies or retires.

im a pretty liberal type of guy, and i would rather see McCain, or even paul or huck than hillary. Nominating Hillary is suicide.

Hillary is the only candidate who could guarantee a McCain victory. I am sickened... the saddest thing about it is that the far left would be throwing away the Dem hopes... for a candidate who is more conservative than most of the Republicans. This is tragic. 4 more years! ... in Iraq. 
Obama can gather not only Democrats behind him but also Independants, en if McCain doesn't win the nomination also a lot of Republican voters. The only close call he can get is if McCain is his opponent, otherwise he'll be a sure win for the Democrats.
Hillary cannot do that. The only chance she has if she gets the nomination is that 9/11 wins the Republican one, and that people find him even scarier. But even then she isn't assured of a victory.

Why is the Democrat party referred to as "democrats," but the Republican party referred to as "GOP?"
Why not just call it the republican party?

Many months ago lots of these basic total speculation threads on how "the people" would vote in the far distant future was all we had to vent our fantasies. And just like the man created God argument, funny thing the "the people" each poster describes looks and behaves just like the poster themselves.
Now that we have the first two under our belt and we get lots of mixed messages from actual VOTERS AFTER THEY VOTED, we find speculation never tops the REAL THING.
But we have a few leisurely primaries left to go to maybe get a picture of what the trend lines are shaping up to be, threads about super Tuesday just don't taste right to me.
The time of speculation is ended, now only results matter. The future comes at us fast, there will be plenty of time to interpret super Tuesday AFTER it happens.
Or put another way, don't rush me, I am still trying to figure out why most of the residents of Iowa and New Hampshire should not be sent to the nearest mental facility for that sanity test.

McCain is 71 years old, making him the oldest person ever inaugurated as president. Huckabee is a heart attack away from being president.
I concur. I predicted last spring that Bush would leave the White House with about 10 % popularity figures and the economy in a recession. This won't be a normal recession, but like the housing bubble, it will be easily the worst since the Great Depression.
It is interesting to see that Bush, and the Plunge Protection Team, is now planning to 'Helicopter' money on the US people to keep the economy going for just a bit longer - say over the election.
But if the recession bites for real in November, Hillary or whichever Dem candidate, will sweep the floor with the Republicans.

A problem with the Super Tuesday results, is that instead of 3 motnhs or presidentail baloney being thrown at us, there will be 8 months that we all have to endure.
WHich is why Hillary can beat him. She would be smart to tap Obama for her VP too. A women and a black on the same ticket. Goodbye GOP and Hello to the new Dem Dynasty. That's the erral reason all the righties are so scared of hillary, they see the pendulum swinging back to the left and a Hillary/Obama ticket could give it the momentum it needs to keep swinging that way.
Don't get so excited Hillary fans.
Nevada and South Carolina are coming first. Lots of Latinos and Black voters. Hillary won't do well with those bases.
It's 1-1 thus far. Let's see how the scale tips :laugh:

The problem with that logic is that GWB is so bad, no matter who the dems run, they will win
simply by saying----I am not from the GOP and I am not related to GWB.
And worse yet, the GOP are very slow learners. The message of Iowa is that the voters want change. And change does not mean keep lockstep supporting GWB which the GOP is doing.
Of course the GOP has another option its totally forgotten. You know, that little detail and triviality they have neglected for seven years.
ITS CALLED DELIVER RESULTS. If the GOP can't, say hello Hillary or hello whomever the dems choose as your next President.
I never siad you did or meant to imply that you did? I'm just saying the "anybody but Bush" strategy didn't work and I have no reason to believe that a "anybody but Hillary" strategy will either.
In fact, I think a Hillary/Obama ticket would be almost unbeatable. I think Obama would be happy as VP? If Obama wins the D nomination I don't think Hillary would agree to be on his ticket. I also don't think she would be the right choice for him as VP.
