I’m just a person typing on a computer just like everybody else on this forum so here is my quick take on the race.

I’m glad to be a Democrat, I’d hate to be a Republican for a whole host of reasons but a small reason is how fluid their race is. The race in a nutshell:

Rudy Giuliani is the national frontrunner, but wait the polls don’t mean anything now with weeks to go before the early contest. He is behind in the early states but ahead in the Feb. 5th primaries. Problem: Waiting until the 4th or 5th primary state to start winning has been a winning strategy since.......never. Solution: Hope for Armageddon in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. But he has ex-wives, 9/11 issues, misusing city funds, shady business connections and Bernard Kerik to deal with first.

In 2008 will we have a nominee who will fight back when attacked?

The Washington Post is hopefully starting to get themselves together. Tonight they posted a frontpage article right in time for Bush's I'm in trouble speech on Iraq Tuesday night.

But it moves the cause along by doing what they should of done weeks ago, string the first seven Downing Street Memos together.

2008: Just some random thoughts I had on what I hope we've learned (Just a little bit of a rant)

Election 2008 is a long way off, but when we get there let's at least make sure our nominee will do one thing: A nominee who is savvy, but also has a back-bone

We've learned some valuable lessons from 2000 and 2004

I was just watching CNN and the Capitiol Gang as they were talking about the Nuclear Option and call me clueless, but I know for the last few months Reid and company were threatening the Republicans that they would slow or halt Senate Business if the Republicans deployed their 'Nuclear Option'. But a thought just came to me and I'm a little confused.

If next week the Republicans push both judges for approval and the Democrats filibuster them. Then the Republicans will seek a ruling from the chair (Cheney) making it only necessary tohave a majority instead of 60 votes to end filibusters. Once they vote and if they have the 50 votes and Cheney votes to deploy their 'Nuclear Option' what will happen immediately next?

Will they then pursue a majority vote for the nominated judges to end the filibuster or will the democrats start to hold and halt the Senate denying unamimous consent and other procedures?

I'm just a little confused with what happens if they win on the issue. Can anyone clear this up for me?

The only person with combat military experience, the only person without tunnel vision, the only person who wasn't a neo-con, and the only person who was still considered like-able is gone.

My only advice is remember back in the fifties the duck and cover drills, get ready to resume those drills.

With President dumb dumb, evil guy, Rice-A-Roni and Dumsfield in charge we are either going to be at war with North Korea, Iran and even possibly.......Canada. I wouldn't be surprised. :-)
