normally i would say STFU, to someone i didnt know telling me what to do, but since i dont know you, and i’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, that you dont know me…

i had a reason for posting that, it had to do with strategy the bots want to use for the rules committee. that was the whole purpose…
if it offended you, sorry, but too late now.

but if your worried about my voracity, i suggest you go back a year on this thread ,and see if you can find anything about me, that makes you think i’m not to be trusted…
if so, get back to me on that okay?

otherwise, i will respect your complaint, and plan on you respecting me…

IF Obama is nominee, I’m still not sure if I will vote for him, what do you guys think I should do?

####

rigso if you are still here I will tell you what I tell anyone that asks a question like that.

First, I am not you. I do not know how you think, what you care about, or what issues matter to you. I could not presume to know what is best for you.

However, if you are looking for guidance then I would suggest that since you found your way to this site, you can find your way to many sites including those of each candidate and decide for yourself what best fits your profile of a president.

Second, if you spent any time on this site you would probably note that most are very staunch Hillary supporters including myself and would like nothing more than you to follow our lead. I say to you, follow no one, but weighing all the facts do what in your heart and mind you know is right. Lead your way!

Obambi keeps looking past Hillary, as makes sense. Still, this column points out how Babe in the Woods would approach his First 100 Days of Fumblin’ Around. (And this from the guy who said that in his veep choice, he’d want “someone who knows a bunch of stuff”. Really, you can’t make up Bush-level bonehead comments like that).

Obama to Health Care Committees: Yes, We Can
By David Nather | May 28, 2008 3:35 PM

If Barack Obama wins the White House in November, he’ll want Congress to get his health care plan moving by March or April.

That’s what he said this morning at a fundraiser in Denver, according to a pool report distributed by his campaign. When a questioner asked what he’d do during his first 100 days, Obama said one of his top priorities would be his health care overhaul. “We need a bill . . . by March or April to get going before the political season sets in,” Obama said, according to the pool report.

Talk about the Audacity of Hope.

Granted, Obama didn’t say he wanted the bill finished by March or April. But to anyone who has watched Congress try to work on any legislation of this magnitude, even the thought that the congressional committees would be able to start the serious work that early – with all the industry groups that will demand a say in the hearings – puts a lot of faith in a very creaky system.

Here are the highlights of what Obama is asking for:

* A new national health plan, open to all Americans, based on the benefits in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
* A new National Health Insurance Exchange to help people buy individual coverage.
* Mandatory coverage of all children.
* A required contribution from employers who don’t offer health coverage or help their workers buy their own.
* An expansion of Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

It may be that Obama deliberately wants to get the health care effort started early to allow as much lead time as possible. But it’s still a lot to ask from all the committees that have a piece of the health care system.

If only there was someone Obama could ask who has been through this before . . . someone who knows how hard it is push so many ambitious health care changes through all the committees that would have to sign off on them.

Too bad she’s running against him.

Why Are Democrats Afraid of Florida?

By Craig Crawford
May 28, 2008 6:00 AM

Myths abound in the latest Florida vote-count fight. For starters, this is not the fault of state Democratic leaders. The Republican-controlled state legislature, directed by its GOP governor Charlie Crist, created this situation.

Sure, Florida Democrats did not vigorously oppose the Republican plan to move up Florida’s primary on the calendar, defying the rules in both parties. Instead, they negotiated a deal to ensure a paper trail in all future balloting.

And for their efforts in leveraging a position of weakness to gain something helpful for future elections, Florida Democrats get hammered by a Democratic National Committee intent on diminishing the state’s influence in naming a presidential nominee.

Why did national Democrats fear Florida so much? It is, after all, the nation’s largest swing state.

Okay…. Iam a numbers whore!! I was looking at the latest Gallup tracking numbers, they read as follows.
Presidential Nomination: Obama 51%, Clinton 43%. (Obama+8)

General Election Match up: Obama 44% vs McCain 47% (Obama -3), Hillary 48% vs McCain 45% (Hillary +3)

What does this tell me… of the 43% who want Hillary as the nominee, if she is not, they move to McCain in droves! Tell me if I am reading this wrong
&&&&&&&&&&

Another thing to read into this is: GALLUP.

They have not been, so, how-you-say…..correct.

********************************

Also, last week, Hillary was down by 16pts and now coming off a week in which she was horribly trashed by the MSM for 5 days, she has closed the gap each day.

What does that tell you? Her support is strong and they have tuned out the media. Also, they are in no way moving towards Obama, infact, he is OFF!

Take a look at the sites linked from

“…spineless in fighting Bush since allegedly “taking charge” after the 2006 elections…. Other items of consensus…..”

AMEN, rgb44hrc! How about adding:
* Apply the rules fairly to all states that moved up their primaries.
