Bloomberg needs to get over himself. Politicians who wish to change law to stay in office longer....well, I'd say should be shot, but I don't mean that literally, I only mean it figuratively.

On that, we can agree.

A very interesting read. the writer is someone who was part of the power struggle after the 2004 elections that brought forth Howard Dean as the DNC chairman and notes that the Republicans are about to have the same struggle and that if the struggle goes the same way that he fears the next RNC chairman could very well be Mike Huckabee. However, the writer notes, the party isn't that intelligent.

unfortunately the author, like most Americans have misunderstood Mike Huckabee as an evangelical nutjob. You can thank the media for that. For example I was interviewed during the Primaries and after going out of my way to note that I wasn't an Evangelical and most of my fellow volunteers locally and around the Country were not either, we were still covered as religious whackos.

If you really want to know who Mike Huckabee is basically imagine a George W. Bush who is who he promised he would be, add in a higher IQ and a much better level of communication, and imagine if Bush had never lied to the country, wasn't a corrupt oil man, and wouldn't have gone into Iraq and there you have it.

With that said there is one major difference between the Howard Dean and Mike Huckabee campaigns. Howard Dean was popular right off the bat and peaked too soon. It took a long time for Huck's campaign to go anywhere and the the very loyal grassroots arm was just starting to become a well oiled machine by March of this year and we we have not just stuck together we have grown in number since then.

Okay I'll stop now...you have probably gown very tired of me babbling on.

So did Bush invade Syria to help McCain's "the Republicans will protect you from the evil" campaign area?

I think the term "raid" is probably more accurate than "Invasion" at least for now.

We apparently grabbed at least two men during the raid. I wonder who they are.

Also, given that we are fighting a civilian ememy, I find it interesting the reports we always seem to hear that "x number of civilians" were killed.
