The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux) - Page 287

Local NPR morning show has Ralph Nader on and a caller just called in and talked about how they were glad that Nader was running but the caller thinks it is time for a second American Revolution and he had hoped that Ron Paul would be triggering that but since he hasn't he was glad to support Nader.

I'm just boggled trying to figure out the worldview that would result in Ron Paul and Ralph Nader both being acceptable leaders.

Something is in the air. A lot of somethings. Perhaps too many somethings.

Lear Jets to be precise. Flying over my house. Why so many tonight?

Congress is already in session.

Is there a war breaking out somewhere?

Were there a lot of Lear Jets flying over last time we broke out in war?

Pretty much every time there is a major politial crisis (or congress goes into session) you can count on that.

It's rather like the Domino effect ....

Perhaps this has something to do with the Venezuela/Columbia/Ecuador situation?

Actually if I had to bet money, I'd go with primary related travel.

Interesting. Today seems to be following the super Tuesday pattern. For whatever reason, Clinton's got a big advantage among people who make up their mind on the last day (or at least tell pollsters that they're undecided until the last day). I wonder what is it about her that attracts indecisive people?

Safety. They know what to expect from her [based upon the last time a Clinton was in the White House].

don't think anyone really cares but...

to you Mike Huckabee. It was my honor and pleasure to fight for you through the past seven months. It was a great fight and I don't regret at all being along for the ride despite what turned out to be a bitter end. I am very proud of the effort that we put forth but I am even prouder of the candidate that we supported in you and the clean campaign that you ran. I look forward to 2012 when we do it all over again but with a much more successful outcome.
