Yeah, that's a good one.

I chuckled watching the talking heads discuss McCain, Giuliani, Romney, etc, as they finally got to say all the things they've been waiting for months to say in front of an audience ... except, it all sounded especially funny since Huckabee won. In fact, if it weren't for the inconvenient truth that Huckabee won in Iowa, I wonder if they would even mention his name lol.

It was a terrible nightmare, the most horrible one you could imagine. In the nightmare I found myself nude in bed, and I was looking at a mirror on the ceiling, and I discovered that I am a Negro, and I’m circumcised! Quickly I jumped up, found my pants and looked in the pockets to find my driver license photo - and it was that same color. Black. No, no, God no, it can’t be!! I felt myself being very depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair. But it’s a wheelchair!!

That means, of course, besides being black and Jewish, I’m also disabled!!! I said to myself, aloud “This is impossible. It’s impossible that I should be black and Jewish and disabled.”

“It’s the pure and holy truth”, whispers someone from behind me. I turn around, and it’s my Boyfriend. Just what I needed!!! I am a homosexual whore and on top of that with a Mexican boyfriend. Sonofabitch!!!! Oh, my God…..Black, Jewish, disabled, gay, with a Mexican boyfriend, drug addict, and HIV-positive!!!

Desperate, I begin to shout, cry, pull my hair, and OH, noooooo…I’m Bald!!!

The telephone rings. It’s my brother. He is saying, “Since mom and dad died the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs, and laze around all day doing nothing. Get a job you worthless piece of crap. Any job.” Mom?… Dad?…Nooooooooo… Now I’m also an unemployed orphan!

I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when you are black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, are a drug addict, HIV-positive, bald, and an orphan. But he doesn’t get it. Frustrated, I hang up.

It’s then I realize I only have one hand!!! With tears in my eyes I go to the window to look out. I see I live in a shanty-town full of cardboard and tin houses! There is trash everywhere .

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker… Pacemaker? Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with a Mexican boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV-positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with one hand, and having a bad heart, I live in a crappy neighborhood.

At that very moment my boyfriend approaches and says to me, “Sweetiepie, my love, my little black heartthrob, have you decided who are you going to vote for in the Primary?

Hillary or Barack?

Sonofabitch! Say it isn’t so!!! I can handle being a black disabled one armed drug addicted Jewish queer on a Pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has a Mexican boyfriend, and now you’re tellimg me I’m a Democrat?!?

Note that Iowa is one of the whitest, most rural, ie, not what the press considers sophisticated, states in the Union.

Yet, they managed to see a man with a good deal of black in him, one whose electoral momentum leans on his non-white ethnic heritage, as "just" a candidate.

Ah, but that was just a primary with oh so enlightened liberals voting for Barak. When the general election comes round and conservatives reject his extreme liberal stances, they will be painted as racist.
Count on that.

Total Dem voters = 239,000

Huckabee voters 40,000

about 357,000 people voted, out of 2.9 MILLION
Obama got 91k votes,

Well...if the other choice was giving it to HER....

[camaraderie]

I just watched the entire Rep & Dem debates in NH tonight. My take:
Rep Winner...Thompson or Guiliani
Loser: Romney
Wacko: Paul

Dem Winner: Edwards
Dem Loser: Hillary
Dem No Show: Obama...where's the beef?

I missed the Rep. debate but caught a good chunk of the Dem. debate and concur with Cam's estimation.

Priceless moment: Bill Richardson apologizing for his naming of Whizzer White as his most admired Supreme Court justice because he was appointed by Kennedy. He admitted that he only found out later that White was hostile to Roe vs Wade and some civil rights legislation.

The one thing that I learned for sure was that Bill Richardson doesn't know a damn thing about past justices on the Supreme Court and I'd probably be a fool to even take his word now on White's opinions on anything.

and richardson has possibly the worst policies on immigration of anybody in either party running.
