Iowa Does Proud For America!!!!!!

[Psychoblues]

So far Huckabee is in a substantial lead for the Republicans. Edwards and Hillary run closely for the lead among Democrats with Edwards inching upward.

What a GREAT DAY FOR AMERICANS!!!!!!!

As I have said earlier on this forum, Edwards is my fav among Dems and Huckabee is my fav among Repubs. This is turning out to be a race for my own heart!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well enjoy it while you can. You really think Iowa is significant ?

[avatar4321]

thank you for cementing the fact that Huckabee is not the right candidate.

[Psychoblues]

Yes


Well enjoy it while you can. You really think Iowa is significant ?

And millions more of us think it is as well. What are you pissed at Iowa about?

[Dilloduck]

Yes

I'm not---I see it like a political exhibition game. Meaningless.

Yeah, the Republican royalists will never allow someone that low-class to get the nomination.

[Sitarro]

Yeah, the Republican royalists will never allow someone that low-class to get the nomination.

Why would any true conservatives want a candidate that appeals to an obvious socialist loving dimwit?

Yep..tis a true dog & pony show. Gives the media something to "ANALise" and tell us WHO will win in Nov. Pfffffffffffffftttttt! You'd think they'd learn.

[Dilloduck]

Nor will Democrats nominate a black.

[PostmodernProphet]

two networks now declare Obama wins Iowa......

most interesting commentary...."two out of three activist Democrats have said, 'anyone besides Hillary'........

[PostmodernProphet]

Nor will Democrats nominate a black.
I wonder what the old school Democrats will say if Obama decides he actually wants to MAKE policy......will they treat him like Jackson and throw him out of the party?.....

heard one interesting statistic....Obama won Iowa by polling high among first time participants in the caucus (40% of the Obama caucus voters had never participated in a caucus before).....that means that without those new Democrats he would have ended up with around 20% of the vote instead of 37%.....what effect will all these new Democrats have on the party?.......

[Psychoblues]

Dick Gregory of MSNBC reports that white women that had previously identified themselves as Republicans showed up and caucused for Obama.

I don't know what to think about that.

[OCA]

KUDOS! Not in a million years will the party of George Wallace nominate a Black.

fortunately you don't have to----the media will tell you what to think about that and a million other things. :laugh2:

Reality check: true conservatives don't control the GOP. :lol:

[Psychoblues]

Correction for you typo.

Crazy men control the GOP, gwb is just an example of them. More sane among them support folks like Mike Huckabee.

Wrong. Huckabee is not a conservative. What you're saying is the RINO's support Huckabee.

[Psychoblues]

Let me refer you to the CNN YouTube debate. M.Huckabee was the only conservative on the platform.



Wrong. Huckabee is not a conservative. What you're saying is the RINO's support Huckabee.

Also, the population of Arkansas will sincerely disagree with you (as a self professed representative of conservatives) and punish you in the general for having said that.

Mark that down, gunny.

You really need to start wearing a helmet when participating in those redneck demolition derbies Psycho. And put that fuel down, stop the sniffing...... really, it shows.

The eyes are the window to the soul and these are cockeyed.

You gotta new keyboard that you're trying out?

Or are you really that cockeyed?

[Dilloduck]

The press, however, covers the nomination process as an unstable event by creating an illusion of political drama in which almost any candidate may rise from the pack to win the nomination or the frontrunner may stumble on political mistakes and lose the nomination (Gurian & Haynes, 2003). This illusion of drama hides from citizens the fact that the process is stable and, therefore, limits voters’ choices—hardly helping them “to control their own destinies.” By characterizing the process as unstable, I contend the press contributes to its stability; thus, the press is complicit in limiting voter choice, a phenomenon I call the primary instability paradox.

Let me make this plain: The story that the press tells about nomination politics does not accurately describe what's happening. The press is a player in the system and helps determine the nominee before any primary voter ever enters a polling place.

It's time to tell a different story of politics in America.

iowa is not a primary election......

obama is an orator......he reminds me of JFK....lots of style
socialized medicine...end the war...tax big business....cut taxes on the middle class

huckabee is gwb II all over again.....nuf said.....

[Hugh Lincoln]

I like Ann Coulter's line...

Huckabee is a compassionate conservative, in the sense that it's compassionate to call him conservative.

Honestly, if I had to call something, I'd say Huckabee was the pick of disaffected Republicans who didn't much like being TOLD by the press that Romney, McCain, Giuliani or Thompson were their only choices. That may have been at work with Democrats, too, who didn't like being commanded to support Hillary.

[manu1959]

anyone listen to BO's speech....sounds like MLK......i don't think this ends well......

[Psychoblues]

I said this in an earlier post, HL, and I bet it just eats your ass up!!!!!!!

"Dick Gregory of MSNBC reports that white women that had previously identified themselves as Republicans showed up and caucused for Obama.

Psycho, man, come on. Mike Huckabee was elected by the same people who elected George Bush. Mike Huckabee is worse than President Bush. He has all Bush's flaws and Clintons.
