#4  Not you Ebbang Uluque6305. Bleak election year. I liked Thompson but I'm afraid he entered too late. Guilani seems to be entering too late also. Voters didn't think them serious contenders.

#3  I liked Bob Dole. I know a lot of people didn't and I know he wasn't perfect. But I believed he was sincere, patriotic and sane. I believed that he would be a true conservative and not a RINO.

He didn't stand a chance when he ran for president against Bill Clinton with all that sex appeal. But, if you wanna talk sex appeal, these days you're talking Barak Obama.

#2  You know what I see when I see John McCain? I see Bob Dole.

#1  I must report with great chagrin the latest polls in California show McCain in the lead. Big time bummer. I know I've predicted that McCain and his squishy stance on the border would fail here but now it appears otherwise. It also appears useless to ask Hunter to throw his support to Thompson because Thompson is way, way back in the pack and Hunter is lumped in with the "others". It's all McCain, Romney and Huckleberry. Guiliani still seems to have some hope for Florida but everywhere else he appears to be toast. Mostly it's McCain if you believe the polls and the media. Romney looks like a flip-flopper and a weasel but at least he hammers McCain on amnesty. Might be an interesting convention though.

People are either not paying attention or else this is the democracy they want. Maybe it's me who is out of step.

But I still think it's really, really stupid to let Iowa and New Hampshire voters winnow out the candidates before anyone else gets to vote. If the idea is to let candidates test the waters in smaller states where they won't have to spend a lot of money I would suggest that Arizona and New Jersey might be more representative of the national electorate than backwaters like Iowa and New Hampshire.
