@damkira. I would not call Giulliani out yet, the race on the republican side has been crazy, and while I dont agree with his strategy, I just wouldnt call him out.
As for Edwards. I dont think we will win but he will enter Super Tuesday and continue to get a strong 3rd. He will run untill there is a clear winner between Hillary and Barrack.

I don't think it was a strategy, so much as a reality. He was screwed.

Honestly the more i look at it. The more we should have rotating primaries or something with more super primaries.

Start with the states with the least amount of delegates and do them like... 5 at a time. From diverse positions.

Or just group the states in 10 groups of 5, (or 5 of 10) for the demographic differences and then have the order chosen randomly for said super primaries. It sucks that some states don't really get a say in the primary process and as such there positions don't get adequetly discussed.

What happened to Michigan on the democrats side this year sucks.


My Uncle Bill Bradbury, the Secretary of State of Oregon is meeting with a bunch of other Secretary States to make Rotating Primaries a reality.

Michigan had no delgates on the dem side, they were punished for going before super tuesday


 That's why i said it sucks.  They have no delegates on the democratic side so the democrats aren't going to alter there politics for michigan which is probably one of the biggest states in need of being able to effect the national outcome.

Anyone want to lay odds on Thompson quitting? Who does it help if he does? Edwards should drop out too... Here is how I look at it, with both sets of results available Today's Winners: Mccain Clinton Paul Romney Neutrel: Huckabee Obama Today's Losers: Guiliani Thompson Edwards Hunter



People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

I'd say Thompson's odds of quitting now are at least 80% (4 to 1), it'll be interesting to see where his support will go. Edwards will probably stay in it until the Dem SC primary later this week.

 Just how Bush had more electoral votes then Gore despite losing the popular election.

kinda like the electoral college, obama got the electoral votes, and clinton got the popular most likely cause clinton appealed to the high population delegate areas and obama had country side
