Situational voting.


The popular vote did not count in 2000.

If Gore had been Hillary, he would have just sued Congress to repeal the
Electoral College and declared himself the victor.

The current Democrat primary is really fun to watch. You couldn't have
scripted the race or the candidates any better. The problem with Hillary
is that this is her one and only shot at the job and it is slipping away
from her.

Yep. She's in her political "prime" so to speak. There won't be another
chance.
She really should consider a long career in the Senate like she originally
claimed she had intentions of before she announced her presidential
candidacy (which, of course, is after she claimed she had no presidential
ambitions). She's a better Senator than she would be a POTUS.

The Senate can withstand a few liars, cheaters, deceitful and dishonest
people, simply due to the numbers.

Probably won't be indicted or tried, assuming he resigns. He hired one of
the prostitutes .... not exactly a high level crime.

If this is true, and if he actually hired a escort at $5000 who worked
in New York and traveled to Washington, DC, he violated the Mann Act
otherwise known as the The United States White-Slave Traffic Act of
1910.

Which is a felony.

Now, in my own mind, prostitution isn't necessarily a high level crime
as such. Morally problematic I agree, but a crime? Eh - not so much.

However, in Spitzer's case, he's an arrogant, holier-than-thou prick
who wantonly used criminal penalty threats in civil trials and used
dirt and personal destruction tactics both in the court room and in
politics. He busted high level prostitution rings in largely splashy
self promotions of sanctimonious bull**** and his "highly ethical"
approach to politics. HA!!!

If any politician deserves to hung out to dry, it's him.

What's really interesting about this is if he does resign, which seems
likely given the circumstances, according to most pundits, his Lt.
Governor will have to resign also - can't remember the reason, but
he's not capable of being governor.

Which means that the Speaker of the House is next in line and that's
the guy he tried to destroy in TrooperGate.

Irony is so much fun. :)

Heh, heh, heh - payback is a bitch.

Which is worse, seeing a prostitute or stashing $90,000 worth of bribe
money? The (dis)Honorable William Jefferson ought to be in jail.


Usually, we wait for the indictment, trial, and finding of guilty before
putting people in jail. Well, it used to be that way in this country. No
longer, eh?

You have the court of public opinion mixed up with the court of law.

Spitzer all but told us what he did in the hotel with the woman.

The Hokey Pokey? Tube Steak Boogy? Wham, bam, thank you 'Mam? Hide
the Salami? Screwed, blewed and tatooed? 'Round the World in 80
minutes? Making bacon? Beast with Two Backs? The old In, Out, Up,
Down, All 'Round? Schtupp the cat?

Come on - what did he admit to? :)

If I see you go into a gentleman's club with a wad of 20's and three
hours later I see you come out with empty handed. I know what you were
doing.

"Inappropriate conduct."

Heh - yep.

Admit everything without admitting anything.

night. Please come with fist fulls of 20 dollar bills, US currency only.

He's legally blind although I am not sure that would disqualify him.
