So THAT'S how we end up with clowns like Clinton in the White House.

[Archangelsk]

No, we get clowns like Clinton in office because of perception.

"I don't care who wins" the Democratic primary, said Judy Donovan of Tucson, Ariz. "I'd get my dog to run. I'm not kidding. I would get Mickey Mouse in there. Anybody but Bush.'"

Glad to hear a principled Democrat speak up.

Why would you excerpt an AP story and then place it in Breaking News?

[Revolting cat!]

Inadvertently, the Donovan woman expresses the root problem with the world's best political system. Forget that it's Bush for a minute, 43% would vote for the Manson/Brawley (Charles/Tawana) RAT ticket, guaranteed!

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) rolled up big victories and a pile of delegates in five states Tuesday night, while rivals John Edwards (news - web sites) and Wesley Clark (news - web sites) kept their candidacies alive with singular triumphs in a dramatic cross-country contest.

Edwards easily won his native South Carolina and Clark, a retired Army general from Arkansas, eked out victory in neighboring Oklahoma. Howard Dean (news - web sites) earned no wins and perhaps no delegates, his candidacy in peril. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) was shut out, too, and dropped out of the race.

"It's a huge night," Kerry told The Associated Press, even as rivals denied him a coveted sweep.

Racking up victories in Missouri, Arizona, North Dakota, New Mexico and Delaware, Kerry suggested that his rivals were regional candidates.

"I compliment John Edwards, but I think you have to run a national campaign, and I think that's what we've shown tonight," the four-term Massachusetts senator said. "You can't cherry-pick the presidency."

With Iowa and New Hampshire already in his pocket, Kerry boasts a record of 7-2 in primary season contests, the undisputed front-runner who had a chance to put two major rivals away but failed.

An AP analysis showed Kerry winning 65 pledged delegates, Edwards 43, Clark five and Al Sharpton (news - web sites) one, with 155 yet to be allocated. Kerry's wins in Missouri and Arizona were the night's biggest prizes, with 129 delegates — nearly half of the 269 at stake.

Tuesday's results pushed Kerry close to 200 delegates out of 2,162 needed for the nomination, including the superdelegates of lawmakers and party traditionalists. Dean trailed by nearly 70, Edwards by nearly 100.

Democrats award delegates based on a candidates' showing in congressional districts, giving Kerry's rivals a chance to grab a few delegates even in contests they lost.

I wonder what her posting name on FR is. She sounds just like the pseudo conservatives that Jim Rob flushed down and out of the system this past weekend.

"I don't care who wins" the Democratic primary, said Judy Donovan of Tucson, Ariz. "I'd get my dog to run. I'm not kidding. I would get Mickey Mouse in there. Anybody but Bush.'"

I've actually heard people say exactly that line. Almost went to jail a few times. And these are "Americans?"

[A CA Guy]

Well, Kerry is very beatable. This is not the worst news by a long shot.

[Graymatter]

I see that Clark is claiming victory in OK, without regard for the legal process. The Board of Elections there is apparently not his idea of a controlling legal authority. Another tin-eared Democrat. (Insofar as he's a Democrat at all.)

FR link to Cash and Kerry Newsweek Feb. 9 issue - A generous potential contributor wanted to visit Kerry's Capitol Hill office. The donor was Johnny Chung, a glad-handing Taiwanese-American entrepreneur. Chung brought along some friends, including a Hong Kong businesswoman named Liu Chaoying.

Kerry's encounter with Chung and Liu would turn into a political embarrassment. Federal investigators later discovered that Liu was in fact a lieutenant colonel in China's People's Liberation Army and vice president of a Chinese-government-owned aerospace firm.

A little more google searching on Col Liu Chaying revealed this tidbit:
http://www.afpc.org/crm/crm155.htm
From the NY Times:
Col. Liu works for China Aerospace, a state-owned company that reports directly to the Chinese military, and is tasked by the government to acquire U.S. technology. The Times continues, Beijing's new military strategy, which includes a new generation of nuclear ballistic missiles capable of hitting the U.S., is dependent on sophisticated computers and other advanced electronic weapons technology. In previous jobs, Col. Liu helped market sensitive missile technology to countries like Pakistan. According to official U.S. documents, she also made secret trips to the United States in pursuit of American technology and was frequently monitored by American agents.

the Rats better think twice about the bogus charge that the President went "AWOL." Looks like John F*ing Kerry went traitor. Check out the Iwo Jima slam on the cover of his book:

Ross Perot is the reason we ended up with clowns like the Clintons in the White House (Clinton got 41% in 1992)

I don't know why Ketchup Boy is so excited. If my math is correct, most of the people voting yesterday voted for somebody else...

Potsie Wins his First Election!

[1Old Pro]

Liberals are idiots and we know they hate Bush. This woman probably supported Dean until he fell flat on his face.

Kerry ain't much better. He's an extremist Kennedy Dukakis Liberal and will get 46% of the vote and Bush will win.

[concerned about politics]

When I listen to the ancient minded Democrats on TV, I wonder who they're talking to. It must be people over 50. They're not talking to me, or anyone close to my age.
I wasn't here for Vietnam. I have no emotional attachment to the issue. I just read about it in History books.
They keep promising "hope" for the future, where everyone will have a chicken in every pot. I wasn't here during the depression either. Today, Americas "poor" not only have a chicken in every pot, but they have a steak and lobster cooking on near by burners. Once cooked, they eat them in front of their cable ready big screen color tv's!.
Who are the Democrats talking to ????
Vietnam and the great depression were decades and decades ago. Today is 2004!Who the hell are they talking to?
