Mit Romney has a great name, but is very, very cozy with the religious
right (I mean who else do they have?).

The bulk of this country. The so-called religious right is actually a
very small extremist percentage of the overall conservative base. They
are the right-wing equivalent of the far left-wing, ala Michael Moore,
Barbara Streisand, George Clooney, Al Franken, Ward Churchill et. al, ad
nauseum.

In the same way that the Democrat candidate won't do anything to
alienate the far left-wing wackos, the GOP candidate won't alienate the
religious right-wing. Both candidates may actually pander to the
extremes a little, but each candidate's core message had better be to
the center of the country or he's/she's toast on a stick.

In other words, Jon, you won't like even your Democrat candidate,
because you're a far-leftist and he/she isn't about to speak *only* to
you and your ilk. Look what doing that did for John Kerry. You might
be wise to get into Ralph Nader's camp. Now there is a genuine
left-wing wacko, like yourself.

And I mean that in only the nicest possible way.

I'm sure you do. g ------

Unfortunately, the RR have a lot more power than their numbers due to
some really amazing marketing from the likes of Karl (Actung) Rove and
people like him.

I'm having trouble finding any of the candidates who are actually
pandering to the exteme left...

Edwards. Did you miss the flap over a couple of his campaign workers?
Apparently they were posting some highly anti-religious, anti-Catholic
rhetoric on a far left blog. When it was brought to Edward's attention,
he commented that he'd talk to them but wasn't going to ask them to cease
and desist. When the feces hit the fan over the bloggers, they both
resigned about 24 hours later. My impression is that Edwards was relying
on his workers to quietly fan the flames of left-wing sentiment on the
Internet while he preached a more moderate Democrat spiel in front of the
cameras. But he got caught.

And, just so we're clear, I'm not a left-wing wacko. I'm just a liberal
on social policies and far more conservative than Bush on economic
policies.

When you decide what Bush's economic policies are, please let me know.

I did miss it... perhaps Rush should talk about it more.

Heh... I'll do that, but it's going to be a long wait... I was going to say
tax and spend, but that's a Dem thing.

Katy,

Just keep dreaming. In reality you get to vote for ONE ELECTOR in YOUR
STATE.
Didn't Bush getting elected teach you anything about Presidential
election? The popular Vote means NOTHING!!

Our government is a REPUBLIC!! It isn't a Democracy as you apparently
believe. A REPUBLIC! Learn about your government. It was formed as a
REPUBLIC which is different than a Democracy. It is a democratic Republic but a REPUBLIC it is! You should learn
the
difference.

Excuse me...we were talking about choosing cadidates, not the actual electoral process..
and I am well aware that we are a republic and not a democracy and how the electoral process works...you are diverting
from the original discussion of choosing cadidates to run...and BTW, your voting for an electoral vote IS voting for
an individual....so get back on topic..which is choosing candidates to run...and don't take that tone with me...


Katy is correct. The topic was the primaries but Thom made the unlikely leap to the
presidential election and the electoral college. But, we must not forget the real issue
in the upcoming primaries and that is women like Katy are going to be the key to whom
the candidates are because women represent the swing vote. I'm Ted Bell and I
know all about swinging! I'm just that kind of a loveable guy. Come to Ted's of
Beverly Hills for a steak that's a mouth-watering delight.

I'm Ted Bell!

It was all over Fox News, but I never saw a peep about it on CBS, NBS, or
ABS. Does that surprise you?? I never listen to Rush, so I wouldn't know
if he mentioned, but I'm betting he did. He generally doesn't have much to
say about religion, but this is a political issue, so I suspect he talked
about it.

Not tax and spend; just spend and spend. And spend.

I'd agree, at least in part. Moderates--sitters upon the proverbial
fence--will also play a big role, just as they did in the immediate-past
midterm election. If the Dems controlling Congress don't live up to their
claims of "working with the President" and "restoring faith in the political
process," there will be another moderate backlash, but I doubt if they'll go
GOP. They probably just won't vote. That may give someone like Nader or
another dark horse the opportunity to be a majordomo spoiler for either
party. Should be an interesting election.

This is sounding awfully gay, Mr. Milstead.

How about the Republican's claim of "working with the Democrats" and "ending
the bickering"? How about Bush's claim of the same sort? I think it's up to
them to start doing the right thing for the country.
