    ...and here comes the 6-on-1 lie machine representing the libs...

    1. I never said Mitt would run away with the nomination.
    2. The Hillary up by 600 delegates was a part of a post phrased as a question, clarifying democratic procedural rules.

    But again, nice try. Kinda says something about your argument when you have to resort to this... no cred...

    Your election analysis is about as spot on as your war prognostications have been.


    NO CRED

    ^^ Nice try at moving the goal posts on your failed argument, mcmark. That's a sure sign of a lost argument, friendo.

    Nice attempt at spin? Can you even read polls?

    Ohio
    Hillary vs. McCain: McCain +1
    Obama vs. McCain: McCain +2

    Florida
    Hillary vs. McCain: McCain +2
    Obama vs. McCain: McCain +2

    Hillary and Obama are performing EQUALLY WELL in OH and FL. How is that spin? You really are out of your element discussing elections.

    It's spin because neither are performing well. Both are BEHIND. Instead of you saying they were behind by similar margins, you said that were performing 'equally well'. That is the definition of SPIN.

    I am your superior in every way, rookie.

    Gotta love the libs taking McCain out of context like that...

    I wonder what it would cost to launch Ba'ak Hussein Obama's invasion of Pakistan? Or to eradicate Al Qaeda from their new base Iraq after we tuck tail and run and hand them the country on a silver platter?

    But if the libs want to make foreign policy an issue when they are running a candidate with NO foreign policy experience against a true legend like McCain, all I can say is best of luck. LOL

    ^McCain's proclivity to explode when he gets close to his goal will make these concerns irrelevant.

    That's even before we get into his background - his Keating 5 connections make him look like a regular Clay Davis.

    SHEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Keating has been fully vetted and dismissed as a potential threat. Any character attacks on McCain are going to boomerang on the libs because of the sacrifices he has made for our nation.

    On the other hand, Hillaroid and Hussein Obama are target rich environments.... Expect some fun! SNORT

    Looks like Obama picked up just about everyone who was hoping for Gore and then he picked up most of the Edwards folks.

    What's also interesting is you still see a slow gain for Hillary. I would have expected her numbers to be ever so slightly down over the last few weeks.

    Of these two, I prefer Obama and I'll settle for Hillary.

    Equally well has nothing to do with "doing well". If two people are getting Fs, they are performing equally well. And, the performance is well within the margin of error, so they aren't really behind either. They are statistically tied.

    Why does it look like TJ and bigtexxx can easily handle like 20 posters on the other side of the spectrum? How come there aren't more republican posters here?

    The second part: It's hard to defend indefensible positions...

    The first part: ... unless you just make up stuff as you go along.

    On other more normal issues, there are more conservative leaning posters that join in (basso, deepblue, weslinder, FD Khan, etc). But given that the country is very anti-Bush as a whole (~70%), and young people are even more so (the demographic of this BBS), they are likely to be outnumbered for the time being.
