I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!

[Gator113]

LOL...Thanks for fixing that. ;>)

[longtermmemmory]

wait so this was just a kiddie school play election not the real deal...

(ouch, need disclaimer there. my bad)

[longtermmemmory]

Bob Dole.

“Hillary Clinton has 5,000 people prepared to give rides this time.”

I just knew they'd use those New Orleans schoolbuses sooner or later!

[RockinRight]

Rush says eloquently what I say in a rather caustic and uncharismatic way.

[The Pack Knight]

My sentiments exactly. We need a wartime President. There are several Republican candidates who fit that bill. Huckabee simply isn’t one of them.

[RockinRight]

Well, I assume then that you’re not supporting Huckabee, either.

[longtermmemmory]

Jimmy Carter HONEST!!!

LMAO!!!

Carter is the biggest scummiest sactimounious liar of them ALL.

He ACTIVLY went to the USSR to get help to elect Mondale!

He activly works against the USA.

His carter center is intended as a shadow state department to work against republican presidents.

Carter is a mean SOB who just spits out his wife’s leftist lunacy.

If you want to say huckabee is like that, then ok.

[RockinRight]

The only thing about Huck I’m actually unaware of is his position on healthcare - what is it? And what’s his record on it?

He’s right on the touchy-feely issues. He’s wrong on issues that affect me, my wife and our future children, and my ability to provide for them financially, and keep them safe from terrorists and criminals, foreign and domestic.

[John Valentine]

This is what I wrote down three days ago...

Huck 25%
Fred 24%
Mitt 22%
McCain 9%
Giuliani 8%
Paul 5%
Others 7%

Those are the Iowa caucus money numbers. You heard it from me first. Zogby, eat your heart out.

Hey Dave, I probably won’t be able to stay up to monitor this thread...will you keep track of the zots? I’m betting on 4 before the night is over, 8 if Huck beats Mitt.;)

[John Valentine]

He has my morals and values.

I wouldn't be going around bragging on that one, my friend.

[dan1123]

pardons and commutations????

Yeah, Huckabee definitely let a misguided notion of Christian forgiveness dupe him into pardoning people he shouldn't have.

One caveat though: Since juries impose sentences rather than judges in Arkansas, I wonder if there were some emotion-driven sentences that needed to be cut down to size. On the bright side, he carried out the death penalty more than previous governors.

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

I'll report maam.

The REALLY strange thing about the Iowa caucuses is that R's and D's caucus at different places. But where R's have a secret ballot (theoreticaly. I've never been to one before.) The Dems is totally open. "If you support candidate XXX, Go stand in this group and if you support candidate YYY go stand in that group."

No secret ballot in the lefty world!

[flaglady47]

Whoops, on my dem list, I had top two mixed up. Should be Obama first, then Edwards, and then Her Heinous:

Dems:

1. Barack Obama
2. John Edwards
3. Hillary Clinton
4. Bill Richardson
5. Chris Dodd
6. Joe Biden
7. Dennis Kucinich
8. Mike Gravel

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

To us he’s a crank, to the vast uninformed majority he deserves it for his war record.

[greyfoxx39]

“Hillary Clinton has 5,000 people prepared to give rides this time.”
Yeah, and if you don’t vote for her, a Kennedy drives you home.

[Cedric]

“my friend”

A little John McCain lingo?
