^ Same thing Edwards did. I think it's probably a legal, political, and economic move.

"If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,"

Getting tag teamed by McCain and Huckabee on a national level can't be fun. I guess the lesser of the two primary races is drawing to a close.

Since there isn't a smiley with a predatory grin, we're going to have to settle with me explaining to you that right now I have a predatory grin.

If you suspend your campaign, don't you still keep your delegates, so you could give them to someone else?

So I guess basically his plan is to see who will offer him the sweetest deal for his candidates? I mean, not that it matters, because the only one who will have the opportunity to follow through is McCain, but if not for that, why bother suspending?

Pretty much. Obama just raised 7 million overnight, while the Hildog had to loan her campaign 5 million just to stay afloat. Obama is straight rollin' right now, and will likely will every state in Feb going into Tejas and Ohio.

McCain is going to have to pick a rockstar VP if he wants to have any prayer in hell of winning. The GOP noise machine (Rush, Hannity, et al) can't stand him, nor can the evangelicals. I've got a feeling the GOP is phoning this one in already, because whomever wins is going to have a hell of a mess to clean up, and will likely be one and done.

Dems, Pubs, it doesn't matter, You're kidding yourself if you think the GOP is a party of small govt.

Case in point - the last 7 years.

2001 national debt - about 5.4 Trillion
2007 national debt - about 9.6 Trillion and counting

/conservative, but not blind

^the GOP should be the party of small govt. Bush is far from a conservative.

We also had a war in there johnny and 9/11 which hurt.

Think the debt is big now? Let the govt take over healthcare and grant amnesty. I didnt even touch on the free college, 5k for being born, housing bailout, etc being promised by the dems.

This last president was crap on alot of things, spending and medicare drug plan being the top 2. imo

I think that I would be somewhat content with either of the parties. They all agree with addressing global climate change, changes in energy policy and reducing the influence of lobbyists. Its a victory against extremist political agendas.

eyedrb,

How much of the Iraq/Afgan funding has actually shown up in the annual budgets in the last 5 years?

No Child Left Behind?
Dept of Homeland Security?
Bush Prescription Drug Plan fiasco?

Come on man, the size of govt has exploded in the last 2 teams. Bush was elected by the GOP, correct?

What do you expect? The Republican Party told the small government, fiscally constrained types to f*** off and this is what you get: a modern-day version of the 1950s Southern Democrat.

No. Everyone's goal in Washington is to screw us over for their and their campaign donors' benefit. I'm starting a Carolina Secessionist Party. Who's with me?

One is a winner of multiple elections, has governed before and is a fantastic businessman. The other lost a shit ton of money by trying to run a business instead of just investing his inheritance in a passive S&P 500 etf.

(To be fair he has provided jobs to thousands over the years but his net worth would be much higher if he invested in a ETF and spent 40 years jerking off)

it's pretty funny that they're just now coming to their senses and attempting to act like the adults in the room when they're the ones who allowed it to happen in the first place

maybe I just haven't seen them, but it's kind of hard to believe that a majority of what's going on hasn't stuck to Reince Priebus and there aren't multiple pieces out there putting the blame on him. dude's a joke.
