McCain, Clinton Win New Hampshire

Well the title says it. I figured some of you guys might be interested in the results of New Hampshire. Next week is Michigan, where I live. Somehow I don't expect any of the campaigns to ring me up.

No choices

> Some more of "his type of independence"?

For a second there I though you were talking about McCain. Sorry, don't need the sort of 'independence' that causes McCain to wipe his ass on the 1st Amendment. Add in McCain/Kennedy (NCLB) and McCain/Bush (No Mexican Left Behind (in Mexico)) and he is the only sorta Republican (Paul is an idiotarian Libertarian running as an R) I would stay home for on election day.

> You mean like dismantling the fucking government? That dude is INSANE.

Ah, Paul. I actually kinda like most of that part of Ron Paul, too bad he isn't talking much about that, just losing WWIV by tossing in the towel. Sorry for saying something this unpopular but there ain't no such goddamn thing as 'ending the war.' The time for that sort of talk was 2003 when Congress was considering declaring War. Once it is ON there is a simple binary choice left, Win or Lose. Have the balls to say "This war isn't worth winning so I propose we just quit and toss this one into the loss column." Hell, it might actually be possible to make that argument as putrid as the political climate has become because of the War.

> And that's before you even get to the facts that he's at best a racist apologist.

We active Repubs have been worrying about how to cleanse shit like Paul (and worse, some of the same sort of neo-nazis from the ranks of the anti-jihad forces on the European front of the GWOT) at sites like LGF for a few months.

The pickings are really crappy this season. Lemme snark the rest of the field. :)

Clinton is a powermad socialist bitch. Nuff said.

Obama is a nice socialist with almost zero experience (One year in the Senate before effectively resigning to campaign full time) and enough small hints to scare the piss out of anyone who has done any digging at all. (Member of a 'church' that is Farrakan''s Nation of Islam with the serial numbers filed off being a good starting place for research.)

Edwards is a low IQ powermad socialist with delusions of being Huey Long reborn. I'm from Louisiana and can say "Senator Edwards, You ain't Huey Long." And has the sort of hair that says Metrosexual. (Ok, cheap shot.)

Rudy I could vote for. Two outta three ain't bad, even if I get an 'slightly unstable' vibe at t imes. But his biggest idea seems to be this notion that he can win the nomination in the Blue states and then expect the Red states to accept that and turn out in the fall. Yea.... Right.

Romney thinks he can triangulate in the Republican Party. Sorry, we are smarter than that. Why don't Mitt and Johnny get together and discuss hair care secrets or something while the adults work. And aren't we just getting through with dealing with the results of a moderately successful MBA running mostly to avenge his Father? Ok, Romney didn't spend the first half of his life as a hell raiser, but then just how many hell raising Mormans have you ever seen? (Just ain't in em.)

Or then there is Huck. God save us from that populist rabble rouser. Ok, he had the balls (but more likely desperation) to hitch his fortune to the Fair Tax. But I won't enumerate his other problems.... just too depressing.

Finally we have the great hope.... Fred! Who is making a final stand in SC and is almost certain to end up like Davy Crockett at the Alamo... with no avenging Army of Texas to settle the score afterwards. Good ideas, solid conservative, steady leader. Crappy candidate.

Biden and Dodd are at least adults but they got eliminated in the very first round. So much for experience counting. (Guess HRC wasn't taking notes.)

Richardson made a lot more sense before he got into the race and decided his core voters would be Dailykos and moveon. But he will also be exiting soon so it doesn't matter.

Tancredo was almost as batshit insane as Ron Paul, just in different ways. Was good to see the end of him.

Sorry if I forgot to snark your favorite fringe candidate, but they sucked too.
