WASHINGTON – South Carolina appears poised to shake up the 2008 presidential race, with Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Fred Thompson the frontrunners in a new state survey by Mason-Dixon.

With strong support from the African American community, Illinois Senator Obama has assumed a strong lead over New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. On the Republican side, Thompson zoomed to the top spot, slightly ahead of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, even though he hasn't yet announced his bid for the GOP nomination.

I’m supporting Hillary right up till election day,
just to see my Democrat supporting friends have that
“Hillary” bumper sticker on their cars, it’ll be funnier
than Al Franken’s talk radio audience.

If accurate I bet the ashtrays are flying around Mrs. Clinton about now.

Fred has been running for a while now, just hasn’t officially announced for various contractual and reporting reasons. If he announces in June, he would have to file all kinds of quarterly campaign disclosures. After July 1st, he can wait 3 more months. Plus Law and Order syndications and broadcasts will have to stop.

If they did, McCain would have been nominated in 2000. They control certain officials and GOP head quarters, but not the voters.

I hope the Obama/Clinton race divides the Black community of America. If Hillary gets the nod, I hope a lot of Blacks feel “slighted” and stay home on Election Day.

If Obama gets the nod, I hope there is a white backlash, spearheaded by the Clinton Mafia.

Sorry, but, am I missing something here?

I do NOT understand your Post #5. Maybe I need to go to bed; it’s late.

“I’m supporting Hillary right up till election day,
just to see my Democrat supporting friends have that
“Hillary” bumper sticker on their cars,....”

On election day, I am voting for someone else, I just want to laugh
at most Democrats I know, because I don’t think they want ‘Hillary 2008’ bumper stickers, though some may just be putting up a front so they don’t appear to be pansies.
Then,

“......it’ll be funnier
than Al Franken’s talk radio audience.”

Not many, but can you imagine the few that did listen?
