Bill Delivers The Vote

Yep folks, the vote is in.
Hillary took 24-27% of the votes in South Carolina, most of which consisted of uneducated, elderly, whites.
Way to go Bill, with your help she may just pull this one out of the fire yet.
Don't get me wrong here folks, I know the Clintons have alot of tricks up their sleeves but I do think Bill might want to different a new tack.
It will be interesting to hear the spin that is put on this one.

I think it was a wonderful day for the Democratic party.

When Obama wins another 11 states he will have equaled Jesse Jackson's 1988 run. That will be something to celebrate when and if it happens.

You see the big endorsement McCain got in Florida today?

This is all wonderful stuff. A political aficionado's dream year.

You are right, for anyone interested in politics this election will go down in history.
As for the endorsements McCain has recieved the past few days, they may not bode well for him.
He is at best a moderate & like many others I think he has some very left leaning beliefs.
Hopefully his words & actions over the weekend will lead to his demise.
This question will be pretty much answered in the next 24-30 hours.

Hey, good point: with not only the ever more serious threat Obama poses to Clinton, but also McCain leading the way among Republicans... Well, one could reasonably draw the conclusion that the entire country, Republicans included along with Democrats, is veering left.



Next you know, Fox "News" will go off the air and Bill O'Reilly will star across from Al Franken in some sort of lecture show on the road.

Today will tell the tale, if McCain or Romney win, there will proabably be one or two of the other "front runners" dropping out of the race & the majority of their supporters are made up of conservatives which will most likely go to Romney.
This could & probably will sound the death toll for McCains run.
Hopefully this will be the last we hear of him.
He will be too old to try another run in 2012 --- or will he be.
