Hey, good to see you, my friend! 
Here’s a quote from a very famous British Statesman–Benjamin Disraeli.
This statement applies to the American Governance as well.
(Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, KG, PC, FRS (born Benjamin D’Israeli; 21 December 1804 – 19 April 1881) was a British Conservative statesman and literary figure.)

“The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes”.

The line forms on the left for Barrack Obama.
Hot on the heels of the New York Times op ed piece by Caroline Kennedy, her Uncle Ted gave one of his better speeches of late, a wide raning remembrance of his brothers and a whole hearted endorsement of Obama…
Time to get to the trenches Hill maybe leave Bill behind the lines…
Interesting. I just heard on CBC that John Edwards is set to withdraw from the race for the Democratic nomination. As a Washington outsider will he endorse Obama? Stay tuned. Rudi is also withdrawing from the race.

Maria Shriver endorses Obama. Interesting times ahead.

They’re griping McCain is too liberal now. So much so that that skinny neocon drag queen Ann Coulter says she’ll endorse Hillary!
Yeah, I read that about Coulter too. I’ll believe it when I see it about her campaigning for Clinton. I can’t stand her.
Logic question:
True or False:
Ann Coulter is to US politics what Don Cherry is to Hockey!
And what John C. Dvorak is to tech news 
ie: she’s a troll. She feeds off the publicity.
I always thought that Ann Coulter and Jack Thompson should get together.

Super Tuesday!!! Who will be the Democratic front runner? GOP front runner? This may be decided today.
Stay tuned. 
This race is very interesting. Obama has had a great run, winning 11 contests in a row. The pundits are saying it is now do or die for Clinton, that is, she must win Texas and Ohio on March 4th.
(CNN) – It was one of Hillary Clinton’s last chances to knock rival Barack Obama – seemingly on a path to the Democratic nomination – off course.
But throughout the CNN/Univision debate in Austin, Texas, on Thursday night, the New York senator struck a cautious and, at times, conciliatory tone toward Obama, and likely did little to blunt the momentum of a candidate who has won 11 straight contests.

Some might be irritated by this because it threatens to take votes away from the democrats. Al Gore could have won if he had Nader’s voters.
This is his reply to this argument:
Maybe if Nader can’t get more than 500k votes this time around (like he couldn’t in 2004), he should be the one wrapping up?
In all honesty, I love the green party and the idea of more than two feasible political parties, but Ralph is letting his pride or indignation get in the way not just of progressive change, but his own interest in leading the country.
The populace will be interested in his issues with corporate power, but they need more awareness raised before they’ll radically swing from electing Bush one year to Nader a few later. Ralph needs a liberal with some persuasive cohesion (Obama) to get elected first in order to break the cycle of moderates and conservatives. Ground must be retaken before the Greens can gain traction, and it won’t happen by siphoning votes prematurely.
I’m actually pretty furious with Ralph on a few more personal levels, but I’ll spare you the wanking.
(CNN) – Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in a statistical dead heat in Texas, according to a poll released eight days before the state’s crucial presidential primary.
In the CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Monday, 50 percent of likely Democratic primary voters said Obama is their choice for the party’s nominee, while 46 percent backed Clinton.
But taking into account the poll’s sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for Democratic respondents, the race is a virtual tie.

I decided to resurrect this mostly dead thread.
Obama and Clinton are fighting it out with attack ads as we approach two critical primaries on Tuesday. If Obama does well perhaps Clinton will bow out. My sense is that this will continue on until June.

Obama sweeps North Carolina and narrowly loses in Indiana. The primary season is over in early June. I think that Obama will be the Democratic nominee.
