Comments on: The Democrat race in Iowa: Neck and neck…and neck http://michellemalkin.com/2007/12/29/the-democrat-race-in-iowa-neck-and-neckand-neck/ news and commentary from a conservative perspective Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:01:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MrVIBEMAN http://michellemalkin.com/2007/12/29/the-democrat-race-in-iowa-neck-and-neckand-neck/comment-page-1/#comment-206084 MrVIBEMAN Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:56:21 +0000 http://michellemalkin.com/2007/12/29/the-democrat-race-in-iowa-neck-and-neckand-neck/#comment-206084 How about letting them campaign any time they want, but if they miss a Congressional Vote that that has more than 50% attendance, they get slapped with a hefty fine or something. I'd be alot less concerned about the 2 years worth of campaigning if they were still making all the votes. However, if you look at the list of of who isn't voting (which, REALLY, is their only job) you'll notice it's the folks on the campaign trail. I also agree that all the Caucuses should be on the same day. I think the reason they don't is because the MSM couldn't cover 50 states all at once and still convey the frenetic, world-changing importance at the same level it does now. That 1% of voters in Iowa hold 'THE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!' And all this time I thought that was He-man.

I cannot comfortably support Guiliani, Romney or Thompson for a variety of reasons. I really don't know what to do at this point. I am waiting for something to get excited about. My fear is nothing will happen. I would be glad to find the strongest Republican candidate and discuss him, but who is it?

I am getting so tired of all the news stories being about the Democrats. I swear it is as if there were no Republicans running. It is as if there is some sort of subliminal attempt to discourage people from even acknowledging the Republican candidates at all. We all know who the Democrats are. We also know what they are about. they are about taxing us all into the poor house and taking that money and distributing it amongst those people who would rather sit around and do nothing, waiting for those of us who work for a living to pay for their big screen TV's and the lifestyles that they feel they deserve to live. I am more concerned with what is going on with our team, and why they don;t have a fire under their butts. Why are they acting like George Bush 1 during the `92 election? Why are they not out there, every day, getting their faces in the media, stumping around, pounding the podiums, calling the Democrats on their crap and telling America just what we are up against and telling America that every time the Dems try to distract them with "Oh, it's just scare tactics" that the Dems are doing them a great disservice because they not only do not understand the crisis, but they have no plan to defend us from this 1400 year old enemy who has finally come to a head! THAT is what we should be talking about as we go into the primaries. We need to be getting the strongest REPUBLICAN candidate, not helping the Left get THEIR strongest candidate. This is just ridiculous. Ummm…does anyone remember that there are Republicans running as well?

….The developments reflect the tightness of the race — another poll Friday found Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Obama effectively tied — and the dynamics of an unusual contest where so few people vote: about 125,000 in the Democratic caucus of 2004. Aides to the candidates said this contest could be determined by a swing of as few as 1,000 voters……..

OK. What’s the Over/Under on candidates demanding numerous recounts?

The MSM may not truly love Hillary but the MSM absolutely adores Bill Clinton. However he spins it, the media will follow his line. Remember, Clinton got whipped in 1992 in New Hampshire and the media, at Clinton's insistence, spun it as a Clinton win.
