However, re: Edwards, no, No, NO!!! 100 times NO!<BR/>I must respectfully disagree with ng: as a New Yawker, should Giuliani get the Republican nomination, I will actively campaign for an opposing candidate!<BR/>As for "Mayor Mike" (Bloomberg), latest reports have it that he will NOT enter the compition, should Obama get the nod. However, if it is 'politics as usual" (e.g. Edwards vs Giuliani etc) that he just may enter the race.and IF it is those three, he will have my support :>)doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855745903966147404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-59517887998159792242008-01-10T11:29:00.000-05:002008-01-10T11:29:00.000-05:00Great insights.

Not one of the debate moderators even mentioned the issue.<BR/><BR/>And please, just shoot me if I hear Rudy invoke 9/11 one. more. time.<BR/><BR/>Remember in 2000 when the race was too close to call, the rest of the pack heard FOX noise call the race for Bush in FL, and the all followed suit.<BR/>The only news man I have the slightest respect for is Keith Olbermann. All the others are insiders sipping wine and eating cocktail weenies with the pundits.<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents.wmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231180303350376946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-66772157578224054032008-01-10T10:27:00.000-05:002008-01-10T10:27:00.000-05:00This early in the real election cycle, what is goi...This early in the real election cycle, what is going on is the funding sources are making up their minds. Voters in general are either burned out by the incessant early campaign, or much more interested in the NFL playoffs.<BR/><BR/>So most of what happened is that it got a LOT harder for John Edwards to get his calls to rich contributors through. For all practical purposes Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton have finished the first two tests in a dead heat.<BR/><BR/>On the other side of the question, I think the results were equally non-definitive. Certainly Gov. Hucakabee is still a factor, as is Gov. Romney. It seems to me that what Sen. McCain showed is that he can attract independent voters. The Republicans will need to do that if they are to win.<BR/><BR/>Predictions at this point are sort of silly. What we do know is that 70% of post war nominees have won New Hampshire. But the system has been radically changed by "super Tuesday" and the push by many States to have early primaries. And the statistic is moderated because some of those nominees were incumbents. <BR/><BR/>Ah well, it will be what it will be. <BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-21496682910560133782008-01-10T06:35:00.000-05:002008-01-10T06:35:00.000-05:00there are many candidates that are far worse than ...there are many candidates that are far worse than Giuliani. that said, I'd love it if Hillary and Barack teamed up in whatever order. Hillary is competent and strong, no matter what the (#@&$# media might show about her crying. Barack is young and has greater potential for change.<BR/><BR/>however, no matter who wins the Presidency, their interests are not aligned with the interests of the poor and the working class. there will be much work to be done to hold our leaders accountable to care for all Americans ... not to mention to enact a foreign policy that is fair to the rest of the world.Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17851789276439393822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-36926417377924452692008-01-09T23:29:00.000-05:002008-01-09T23:29:00.000-05:00Careful, BM.
