LOL@Jules! I am leaning toward Clinton because I feel she is a strong leader. That she can lead this country and get us out of this hell hole that Bush has sunk us into.

You may not have heard Ron Paul's name barely uttered yesterday in Super Tuesday results, but the man is not backing out of the race, dont let the media fool you. He is planning on going to the GOP convention with delegates come hell or high water! I dont know if delegates will help him if he changes to running as an independent, I dont know how it works but I imagine that might be his idea


Ron Paul National Delegate Count Now 42 or More (2/6/08)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 6, 2008

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – With the results of many of the “Super Tuesday” primaries and caucuses now finalized, the Ron Paul campaign is now projecting that it has at least 42 delegates to the national convention secured.

While much of the focus in yesterday’s Super Tuesday contests focused on preference poll numbers, Ron Paul caucus-goers were focused on securing delegates to the national convention. With dedicated supporters and an organization focused purely on securing delegates, the campaign has secured more delegates to the national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul than caucus straw polls might otherwise suggest.

According to campaign projections, a minimum of 24 delegates were won in yesterday’s contests. When added to projected delegates coming from strong showings in Iowa (4), Nevada (8), Louisiana (3) and Maine (3), that brings the total delegate count to 42 delegates or more.

“Our goal has always been to walk into the national GOP convention with as many delegates as possible,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “The number of delegates we won yesterday could very well be the difference in a Convention where no one has a first-ballot majority. With Dr. Paul’s home state of Texas coming up, we feel we can enter the convention with a substantial number of delegates.”

In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign at the West Virginia state convention early Tuesday. Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their sizable support to Huckabee – putting Huckabee over the top – in exchange for the delegates.

According to campaign projections from last night’s results at least 3 delegates were won in Alaska, 5 delegates were won in North Dakota, 9 delegates were won in Minnesota, and 4 delegates were won in Colorado.

Additionally the results of the Louisiana Caucus may still change in favor of Ron Paul, where an ongoing legal challenge may result in most of that state’s delegates going towards Ron Paul after state GOP officials violated their own rules to improperly put delegates from other campaigns on the ballots.

I think a black president would probably be more historical because racism in this country has always been a much bigger issue than sexism

it doesnt matter that he is only half black, he will never be seen as white at all, he is only going to be seen as black. That is how we are in this country. A person can be an octagon, 1/8th black and 7/8th white and they will not be considered white, they will be considered black.


True jules, but she is still white and christian and she was already first lady so it isnt THAT historic cause she already has the white house experience so to speak so I say a black president is move historic. Especially with the history of slavery in this country. I mean just think, black people have only been considered to have their freedom for what 150 years? And it took another 100 years for them to have ALL equalities of the white man in this country. Sure women couldnt vote initially, but they still were seen as more equal than black people, they had more rights. They could own slaves!

being the president wife isnt totally not the same as being the ACTUAL president with its title and duties.

as far as the slave part. women have been slaves from the beginning of time.

We should have a Native American president. now thats as american as you can get!

I agree! A native american president! Actually THAT might be the most historic! Actually I think even an atheist president would be more historic than a woman.

I know I read that this morning on yahoo and I was floored! I cant believe he dropped out already! He was in second place! Huckabee and Ron Paul havent even dropped out yet.

I think I probably would have rather had Romney win the nomination than McCain

[size=7] J.K. Rowling wants a Dem[/size]

If JK Rowling had a magic wand, she would make Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama president of the United States, the best-selling Harry Potter author said in an interview published by the Spanish daily El Pais on Friday. Rowling confessed she was "obsessed" with the US elections because of the negative influence US foreign policy has had in other countries, including Britain and Spain.

"I find it a pity that Clinton and Obama have to be rivals because both of them are extraordinary," Rowling said.

Asked whether Harry Potter was her hero, the author said her real- life hero was the late Robert Kennedy.

Rowling said she disliked being a public personality and preferred a writer's life in solitude.

"Everything we do in life is an attempt to deny death," she said on commenting on the theme of death in her novels.

"I feel very drawn to religion, but at the same time I feel a lot of uncertainty. I live in a state of spiritual flux. I believe in the permanence of the soul," Rowling said in her only interview with a Spanish newspaper to date.


also in the pic they posted she has giant knockers

aaaahhhooooooga!

Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If
I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It
will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It
will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have
embarked. Not because of me, but because of you. Millions of Americans --
and friends in many other countries -- have dedicated themselves to the
principles of liberty: to free enterprise, limited government, sound
money, no income tax, and peace. We will not falter so long as there is
one restriction on our persons, our property, our civil liberties. How
much I owe you. I can never possibly repay your generous donations, hard
work, whole-hearted dedication and love of freedom. How blessed I am to
be associated with you. Carol, of course, sends her love as well.

Let me tell you my thoughts. With Romney gone, the chances of a
brokered convention are nearly zero. But that does not affect my determination
to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the
convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. But with
so many primaries and caucuses now over, we do not now need so big a
national campaign staff, and so I am making it leaner and tighter. Of
course, I am committed to fighting for our ideas within the Republican
party, so there will be no third party run. I do not denigrate third
parties -- just the opposite, and I have long worked to remove the
ballot-access restrictions on them. But I am a Republican, and I will remain a
Republican.

I also have another priority. I have constituents in my home district
that I must serve. I cannot and will not let them down. And I have
another battle I must face here as well. If I were to lose the primary for
my congressional seat, all our opponents would react with glee, and
pretend it was a rejection of our ideas. I cannot and will not let that
happen.

In the presidential race and the congressional race, I need your
support, as always. And I have plans to continue fighting for our ideas in
politics and education that I will share with you when I can, for I will
need you at my side. In the meantime, onward and upward! The neocons,
the warmongers, the socialists, the advocates of inflation will be
hearing much from you and me.

Sincerely,

Ron





he is not going to switch to running as an independent or libretarian? If he doesnt do that he has no chance of running for president after the convention cause he hasnt even won a state yet! Oh Ron, please reconsider this!
