2008 Primaries Thread

romney is totally the kind of pretty boy flake that reminds me of jack ryan, the dude he was supposed to run against in IL who ended up folding in disgrace after it was revealed he took his wife to 'sex clubs' and encouraged her to have sex in public

lol

Romney wins Wyoming! Matt Drudge must scream it from the mountaintops!

sorry, haven't been keeping up with this thread, but:

has anyone caught footage of obama's speech today in NH? nothing remarkable, but the interesting part to me is that the only audio they have is a direct feed from his mic so you cant hear the audience cheering when they do; which was the same situation that led to the infamous DEANSCREAM.

they caught people cheering a few times during pauses, but i think they had to turn the gain on obama's mic way up or something.

not calling it a conspiracy but it was enough for me to notice it.

his voice has sounded so sore-sounding lately id be surprised if he was able to scream

The candidate in perhaps the most enviable position financially is Representative Ron Paul, Republican of Texas, who has reported raising $19.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 over the Internet, about the same as Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton.

jesus christ

Yeah. Ron Paul is cleaning up, money-wise. It's the "libertarian/isolationist" wing of the extremely-fractured (but still potentially formittable) GOP.

lol @ fox news keeping him out of the NH debates

i think abc news did the same thing to kucinich??

or is doing, rather

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=4089055

indeed

yeah but thats based on his inability to garner a large enough % of the vote. Paul is ahead of Thompson in NH and garnered 10% in Iowa ahead of Giuliani - certainly a sizeable enough portion to deserve debate time. kucinich was nowhere near that

i'm in no way a ron paul advocate btw, merely enjoying how he scares the republican establishment

Went back to Boise for Xmas and Jesus F., every other house has a big-ass Ron Paul sign. And I am guessing these are the majority of internends losers pouring $$$ into Paul's paypal coffers: people in backwoods location whose vote 'wouldn't matter' anyway. Like no one is ever really going for Montana/ID/Wyo's votes.

Comic-book villain-like Ron Paul scares the GOP establishment. Seemingly nice-guy Mike Huckabee terrifies the GOP establishment.

are any blogs liveblogging the debate thingie?

im watching it while i post to ilx :>

guiliani's smile is crepey

/old news

is this worth turning off the playoffs?

w/o ron paul around i'm gonna go with no

romney - "education that is not through madrassas ..."

from TPM:

They shook hands and Mr. O’Reilly said he thought Sen. Obama was great and that he loved him and loved to have him on the show and said he would think about coming on after the primaries.

apparently obama turns o reills into a babbling 8-year-old
