Surprisingly, I found this on Fox News:

Maybe Fox would prefer Obama over Clinton in the general election?

May you live in interesting times.

Faux News is sitting around waiting for that martini slugger McCaint to get the GOP nomination. Then, the politics of fear moves to square one AGAIN.

Read those comments. Anytime I read where America is not ready for a black man as President, I think of all the wonderful African Americans who make us feel good about ourselves. From Oprah to Tiger, they make me proud to be American.

Faux could not attack a woman for sensitivity. They certainly will exploit Obama's as a weakness when in fact it is just what America needs here and abroad.

I still think that Hillary will win New Hampshire over Obama. It makes a better story for the media and Hillary always knew she was going to lose Iowa and didn't try as hard as she could have. New Hampshire is just completely different than Iowa and the second choices that helped Obama won't be in play.

I bet Edwards still gets third, but has more votes and a higher percentage of the vote than Huckabee.

How will Huckabee handle coming in third? Can Guliani and Thompson continue in the race when they get smoked again?  

The story of Tuesday night is how well McCain does and how Hillary bounces back to a win. Romney finishes second again, but doubts will creep in after everyone starts talking about a McCain v. Huckabee showdown.

The other interesting story of this weekend is how the republicans have come out against Huckabee.

They know this guy spells defeat for them and want him off the ticket.

Chris Rock: "Bush Has Made It Hard for a White Guy to Be Elected President"

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/72233/

Hillarious stuff....I'd cut and paste this article but the foul language might upset few.

 "Sometimes I feel like Barack forgets he's the black candidate in the race. He's running like he can win this s**t fair and square."


Comedians are the best source of truth in America today. Right on Chris Rock!

Hillary is imploding. I thought she would be fine after Iowa, but she did such a poor job in the Saturday night debate, that many are bailing on her. I guess the Clintons have never really lost before and were caught off guard.

She has to win in New Hampshire or be close to Obama to stop the freefall. I still think the results will be close, but Hillary folks won't switch to Obama. They would go Edwards or vote with the republicans this time.

Michigan is still very Hillary and she will need a win on January 15th.

Which debate? I saw the CNN one and I thought she did pretty good.  Edwards and O would not go for the jugular and put her away, and Richardson/Horation Sanz was congenial but irrelevent.

The GOP is making a big mistake excluding Paul.  When he is polling 10 times that of Thompson they have no excuse.  Typical.

No rational demos will go with repugs this go round. The pendulum is swinging left .....

And Michigan will move on a dime over to Obama...Hillarity is done.

Bill lost the governorship in Arkansas.

Bill lost Iowa and lost New Hampshire and became the come back kid.

A large number of young folks turned out in Iowa and voted for Obama which is a good thing except that it may leave us with a candidate that can't win the general election.  And losers can't help anyone.

It's a good thing that Clinton is getting a good fight from Obama from the point of sharpening her for the general election.

I've thought that Obama just sounds good, nothing else.  Now if he can turn out the Chicago Machine and their many friends to work for him, his backing might get close to the Clinton machine.  Maybe he could pull it off.

Maybe Clinton will become the new comeback kid.

We can count on one thing:  The Republicans will up the ante in the game of dirty tricks.  You know, sharks never sleep, et cetera, et cetera.

The national pundits were all wrong. You guys were all wrong.

I was right.

Hillary is far from finished. Those predicting a double digit Obama win sure look like wild guessers.

Hey, I was not wrong.  Words have meaning.  I pass up more opportunties to say I told you so.  For the first time for me a Clinton / Obama ticket looks like a possibility.

I would support a Clinton Obama ticket...or a Obama Clinton ticket...or a Edwards Obama ticket...or a Obama Edwards ticket...or a Clinton Edwards ticket...or a Edwards Clinton ticket...
