It's really a shame that no one is running on the Republican side this year...

Wyoming and Nevada was due to his religion. Michigan was because of his father. I don't think we'll see Romney win another state except Utah.

Does she wear platforms? I dunno cuz I've never looked at her shoes. I'll betcha some of those short male candidates have platforms though... For all we know, they might be sticking rolled up socks in their underwear too.

ROFL! (and there I was, stuck on "sexest." How does that go? Sex, sexer, sexest?)

Now, we know the candidates don't have platforms (not even Kucinich!). Just the parties have platforms. Parties on platforms are LOTS of fun! Especially when the party progresses and people fall OFF the platforms!

He might win Florida because Rudy is down there waiting and with Rudy and McCain dividing the liberal vote and Huckabee and Thompson pretty much on the ropes, the conservative choice would be Romney. So he can still see a way to victory although I think in the end McCain wins.

How many times has McCain run for President now? Three? Four? Why do you think this time is the charm?

It's a real shame that the media has put the screws to Thompson. He is the one on the Republican side that IS worth voting for. And the MSM knows he is the one to tear down because he could actually beat Clinton (even Bob Beckel, Democrat strategist is afraid of a Thompson vs Clinton scenario). The MSM did a great job of building Thompson up then tearing him down before he even got started. Calling him lazy and such brainwashed a lot of folks that don't do the research and are easily swayed by the tv and newspaper. I just hope he hangs in there. If people actually listened to his agenda and watched him debate they'd be voting for him.

Some of you act like the american voters are some brainwashed, dumb sheep. You give way to much credit or blame to the MSM when the candidates of your choice is not doing well. Maybe the voters have taken a look at Thompson and don't like him? Ever thought of that?

I think this is the more likely scenario. Especially after the right wing media was pimping him so hard. Seems like even the dittoheads were not too impressed.

Dude is a good actor, he needs get back on some interesting tv series and make our lives more enjoyable that way.
