She's not likeable, she's red meat for the Republican base, and she's got a history of changing her opinion whenever it's convenient.<BR/><BR/>But all that aside, what are people thinking still voting for here at this stage in the game, when we all know the only way she can win is by twisting arms of super delegates and dividing the democratic party?Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-32716702264279551022008-04-23T08:41:00.000-04:002008-04-23T08:41:00.000-04:00Dryden?

And doesn't every precious diamond have a flaw that makes it unique?)<BR/><BR/>Any way we can work out the paperwork so that his attendance at an American university automatically makes him a US citizen <B>negates</B> the need for him to be born in the lower 48 to qualify as a candidate?<BR/><BR/>No?!?<BR/><BR/>Damn! Then, what the hell are you folks waiting for? Why hasn't he been drafted for possible prime minister?DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.com
