He probably should be looked at more critically, lets get any and all skeletons out of the closet before the general election. I disagree on your belief that endorsements and Oprah are what put him in contention.

Hillary is in an interesting position and I just have no idea what will happen. On the one hand, I don't see her ever giving up. On the other hand the DNC chair Dean said that if this thing is still stalemated 5 or 6 weeks from now, the candidates will need to sit down and work out an arrangement or deal to avoid a brokered convention.

Would she accept the number 2 spot? Seems doubtful. Would he? Not if he's winning by even a little. So what kind of arrangement would they come to?

There are important cabinet positions she could fill -- Secretary of something or other.

Yes, that is the biggest worry -- that the best candidate will once again not be the nominee, against the wishes of the actual voters.

If Obama gets more delegates through the primaries and Clinton gets the nomination because of Super Delegates, it will cause a huge amount of bad feelings.

Bloomberg might just run then, and many Obama supporters may jump ship just to teach the Democrats a lesson.

This could turn from being our year to a terrible blow out all because of the damn Clintons and their lust for power.

from polls bloomberg takes more votes from republicans than democrats.

I don't think that's fair at all. More than half of the people are voting for her, so I would say if you are going to blame anyone, it should be them.

I guess those kinds of people are more moderate anyway, because any self-proclaimd liberal who would vote McCain over Hillary is not a liberal at all.

That's absurd. Some of us put principle and country above party if we feel, as I do with Hillary, that our party's candidate just isn't up to snuff. I don't agree with McCain on everything but I do feel that he has principles (a sliding scale to be sure) and has shown in the past that he can work with Dems. I don't think Hillary has any core principles (except herself and winning), and I'm not going to vote for her just because there's a D next to her name.

And I am a self-proclaimed liberal and I doubt anyone here would disagree with that.

Well, your daughters and sisters can thank you when they have to arrange dates in back alleys with coat hangers.

And all your complaining about senators who said they voted to stay in Iraq but are not at least saying they want to pull out quickly? You must not care too much about it if you're gonna vote for a man who wants to pump more money and more eighteen-year-olds into the country.

And if you were voting for someone based purely on charisma and personality, and standing up for what they believe in, why not Huckabee?

You know, for someone whose voting for the candidate running on a mantra of unification and extending a hand, you're not even making half an attempt to unify with half, yes half (Hillary did get slightly more of the popular vote on Super Tuesday) of your fellow democrats. That's some brand of unity you've got going there that I must have missed the definition of under the listing for the word in the dictionary.

But some of his followers - especially those who pride themselves in being able to jump ship on the democratic platform - are definately conservatives to begin with if they are okay with alot of McCain's policies. Either that or they are so into hating a candidate's personality that they will literally screw over every gay person or woman they know, continue burning down half of civilian Iraq and traumatizing young, undertrained soldiers for the rest of their lives, and ruin the last bits of funding for public infrastructure (school, public transportation, levees, public health programs).
