Other than that, it was a long time ago, and my memory has dimmed of any specifics likes or dislikes about her. I guess as I pondered about it, I am not sure if I was or was not a big Kassebaum supporter. Damn. Memory fails me again.

At one time, I was a big Kassebaum supporter. It was reduced somewhat when she sent to me (at my request) a position paper about fixing some of the election process. One of her ensorsements: Parlimiamentary style elections, where people vote the party, not the candidate. It reduced somewhat my enthusiasm for MS Kassebaum.

BlueJay - let me tell you which republicans some of us want to work with. These are the ‘Kassebaum’ Republicans; not the Neo-cons who have hijacked their Party. I mentioned one of them once who stated that she would not vote for Romney because Romney indicated that ONLY Christians should be in government. Our CON friend Paul (Franklin, Econ101) said she is an idiot. THAT is the kine of Republican (called RINOs by the CONS) who Obama is reaching out to.

In my humble opinion, here’s what REAL Democrats are about:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/m/f8c1cf6418e6b163/6Sgh2C/VEsE/

Grassroots organizing, door-to-door, get out the vote

That’s what Obama knows how to do, that’s what he knows how to motivate people to do: organize for power, it’s the classic Alinsky model.

That’s what wins elections and changes the course of history.

Blogging btw doesn’t do $h!t except to allow one to vent.

“A poster I respect a LOT more than you”

Well, gee thanks, J R.

If you mean Steven Davis, I respect him more than me too, heh.

I think one can disagree without being disagreeable. I try to save the real insults for the CONs.

Is it too much to ask if you and KSFrmGrrl could do the same?

A little late weighing in aint ya Capn?

Sore butt?

REAL deomocrats are out and about fighting.

A poster I respect a LOT more than you left the blog because of the slime YOU want to work with.

You better figure out which direction you are pointed in. Or we can all go down together.

“You may not have gotten who you wanted, but the democratic party sure did. Look at the votes.”

By “we,” I meant the democratic wing of the democratic party.

As opposed to the DLC wing of the democratic party.

Of which the Clintons’ are founding members.

BTW, Clinton “won” in 1992, but only because Perot sucked the air out of HW’s sails. And thanks to Mr. Popularity, Newt Gingerich and his “Contract With America” thugs swept to power in 1994, including Tobacco Todd Tiahrt.

Yeah, those were good times . . .

Hanghai,
Maybe a way to begin balancing the social security fund is to start auctioning off all those teapot museums and other pork butts those fiscally conservative republicans just had to spend billions on.

outlander - what were the numbers? How does McCain’s 76% of the REPUBLICAN vote compare to Obama’s share of the DEMOCRATIC vote? Total numbers?

The West Virginia Republican primary was today. McCain “won” with about 76% percent of vote.

“while McCain has a 21-point lead on handling the war on terrorism.”

A good ‘military-type’ running mate will fix that. Webb perhaps?

Picking up on VET’s comments - there is no realistic reason to believe that those of us who preferred another Democrat as our #1 choice will go to McBush as our #2. Although there is currently some bad blood I think you will find the Democrats uniting after this is all over. George Bush was correct when he described himself as a ‘uniter’ - he has united the Democratic Party.

Right now we do not see the spirit I saw on Caucus night here in Kansas - 100% agreement that whoever wins tonight we all walk out together against the Republicans. However, I believe that will return.

It took place Feb 5 2008, if memory serves.But I double checked. Huckabee 51.55%,567 votes Romney 47.36%,521 votes McCain 1.09% 12 votes. But it was a caucus, so I guess Huckabee and Romney would have beaten Obama.

McCain won 1% of the West Virginia vote. Huckabee won 52% of the WV vote (and all of the WV delegates) Romney won 46% of the WV vote.

Are polls accurate? I’m being serious and would really like to hear your opinions?

Haven’t pollsters been surprised at actual results in the last few elections and even the recent primary contests?

I know they say they do something that is supposed to adjust the results for those who have only cell phones and aren’t contacted. But, does anyone really know how many people have only a cell phone?

McCain won about 85 percent, Huckabee about 9 and Paul about 5.

Well, for those who emphasize West Virginia. Did John McCain win West Virginia? Did he place 2nd in West Virginia? Did McCain get more than 1% of the West Virginia votes? Before we decide that Obama is a gonner in West Virginia, can we think about that? It looks like Obama (with 4% reporting) has won more votes than the entire Republican field did. For that matter, John Edwards has won more votes than the entire Republican Field had won. And that was when West Virginia mattered and the race between Huckabee, McCain and Romney was still on.

” This time, we get the person Dems really want, not the person we have to settle for.”

Huh? Did you mean in West Virginia where Senator Clinton has just blown Obama off the map?

You CAN’T mean the final choice as to nominee.

There is an unfinished process you know.

But I don’t blame you being in a hurry. Who knows WHAT will fall out of Obama’s closet next?
