Who Should Get the Dem Nom?

Quote:

do you mean that he'll completely open up the borders?

Given what Richardson has said on the issue, and what he's done as Governor of New Mexico, I'd say that's highly unlikely. Wanting to throw open the border is political suidice in both parties.

As my vote in the poll says, I think Richardson should get the nomination. Of the people running for the nomination, he has perhaps the best credentials (having served as congressman, U.N. Ambassador, cabinet secretary, and governor). As a governor, he's been fiscally conservative and has continued to serve as a diplomat. Out of all of them, Richardson is probably the best equipped to actually be President.

But I'm a Republican, so it's not like what I say matters here.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You're right; Clinton's infidelities weren't any of Congress' business. However, they were the business of a court case in which he was a party. Pursuant to that court case, Clinton testified under oath, and during that testimony, committed perjury.

That was Congress' business.

No, but she seems to draw people who have to her, doesn't she?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

By profession, Edwards is a trial lawyer; this in itself puts him into dickhead territory.

Maybe he saw Primary Colors recently.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What exactly are you seeing that makes it look like the Republicans are going that way to you?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Looking at the poll I think you're citing (a Rasmussen national poll), Giuliani does have 24%. The problem with citing that as evidence as some kind of Giuliani juggernaut is the fact that it is a national poll, when the nomination process is decided in state caucuses and primaries. State polls show Romney leading Giuliani 32-20 in New Hampshire, and Fred Thompson leading him by less lofty margains in South Carolina and Michigan. The poll you're citing gives Giuliani a similarly unimpressive lead over Thompson, who had 20%.

Even if you see it, for right now, I don't.

John McCain just might have something to say about that.

I was speaking idiomatically.
