So, the guy I was supposed to vote for looks like he might be toast

I don't know. Remember when Karl Malone got all weird when Magic came out with the HIV thing? I don't think public opinion was that evolved in the early 90s.

That being said, I think huckabee will crack under the pressure. he's not as politically savvy as the last Ark. governor to run for prez.

 

Bravo, mustard. It requires a measured evaluation of each candidate and their records, rather than talk-show yapping. One reason why I will vote neither for Edwards nor HRC in my primary here is that I know they voted for the AUMF in Iraq -- and HRC for that idiotic Kyl-Lieberman amendment -- purely to maintain their political viability, as HRC's hubby would put it, down the road. They gambled with the lives of soldiers, lost, and now think better of it? Sorry, kids. On the other hand, if a guy's position on AIDS has evolved at roughly the same way that society's has, I don't have a problem with it.

 

I like toast.

 

Why can't these politicians just be honest, homosexuality doesn't spread AIDS/HIV, bareback ass fucking with multiple nameless partners spreads AIDS

 

I think that the dirtiness surrounding the paroled rapist is going to be a tough one for him to shake.

Meanwhile, Rudy is digging himself a hole with the "Driving Miss Nathan" stuff. It's good to know that my tax dollars went to escort his girlfriend around even before they went public and then escalated to 24/7 coverage after a "threat" which they won't disclose details about.

 

We may all owe Jonesy a big apology.

 

Not so fast.

Governors from Hope seem to have nine lives on the campaign trail.

 

Clinton was a centrist governor with an eye for the ladies.
Huck's just a little nuts.

 

A little nuts?

Oh, and about the inane flip-flopper debate: I'd rather have a leader who changes his mind after listening to advisers and observation than have one who blindly follows a plan, no matter how fucked it is.

 

Are (W)e talking about anybody (W)e kno(W) here?

 

Odd thing is Huckabee is probably the furthest left of all the Republican candidates on issues like the environment, taxes, health care, trade and welfare, and I think he's also clearly the most articulate and quick of the bunch in debates.

But he's got that former Arkansas Baptist minister thing that's caused him to say some really fucked up things like this in the past. He still can probably win the Republican nominee, but past statements like this will harpoon him a general election.

 

I can see him doing well until they get out of South Carolina. Stuff like that won't fly in California, Michigan or the like.
