   Given the choice McCain vs. Silky, I would have voted for Silky just ’cause I like his hair.

    Ruben Navarrette Jr. is for McCain - this is from his CNN article:

    For the foreign-born, many of whom care deeply about the immigration issue, maybe the person who deserves their support in November isn’t the candidate who voted to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border (Barack Obama) or the one who equivocated on giving illegal immigrants driver’s licenses only to cave in and oppose it (Hillary Clinton). Maybe it’s the guy who stuck his neck out and co-sponsored with Ted Kennedy, no less, a comprehensive immigration reform bill that offered a path to legal status and made him a pariah in his own party.

    OK - do i need anymore reason to vote against McCain?

    Wonderful news to start the day with. Next will come the headlines of the backroom deal he has already made to get a big perk from Obama if Obama gets elected.

    It’s just too bad we don’t have the joyful thought of never hearing or seeing Silky again after he slithers back to his little home in the country.

    I understand he was scheduled to make a speech on poverty in New Orleans today. Perhaps his dropping from the race was so that he could pick up the $50,000 speakers fee without much scrutiny?

    The Associated Press has learned the former North Carolina senator will announce his decision to bow out at a Habitat for Humanity event this afternoon in New Orleans. His effort ends where it began 13 months ago — with the Democrat helping to rebuild a city still struggling after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

    Edwards has lost races and national attention to his better-funded rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. But his presence has steered debate in the Democratic contest toward progressive ideals such as universal health care, and restricting a lobbyists pull.

    The AP report on the local NBC affiliate here makes him sound like some sort of saint, instead of the hypocritical ambulance chaser he is.

    Hasta la vista, John Boy. And, by all means, DLTDHYOTWO.

    Now, that said and done, I’m not sure to whom he will cast his support between Clinton and Obama. Supposedly, he was more aligned with Obama on issues of rooting out the establishment and “creating change”. But, I wonder if he will hedge his bets with getting an appointment in an HRC administration.

    Oh, wait, it is John Edwards, the trial attorney. Okay. My vote is he goes with Hillary and does look for an appointment in her administration. Maybe he will be the new Secretary of Socialized Healthcare, that all three Democrats want to see?

    At least one empty suit out of the race. Now it should get really interesting to see the Race vs. Sex war heat up between the two remaining contenders. I had to turn of Fox News this morning over the latest row over Obama failing to shake the hand of “she who must not be named” during the SOTU festivities. Still waiting for either one to present a plan on how to fix this failing nation instead of bashing Bush or each other.

    Yes. I’m tired of hearing about the Obama photo at the SOTU and how he “snubbed her”.

    Heck! If she wanted to shake my hand, I would turn away too. It can’t be too good for one to look into her eyes.

    Edwards was as phony as a 3 dollar bill. He felt that Wall Street was a paragon of evil although he took half a million dollars for about six months of undefined “work” from The Fortress Group. At the same time as Fortress was paying such a comfy sum to Edwards, Fortress subsidiaries were foreclosing on the homes of poor people in New Orleans, many of them victims of Katrina. The NY Times revealed that the so called “Poverty Center” at UNC that Edwards created was using almost all the donations to funnel travel money to Edwards for his permanent campaign. Now John can go back to Siler City, get his haircuts at Floyd’s Barber Shop over in Mayberry and file lawsuits against the County for failing to patch a sidewalk. I’m loving it already.

    Well, John Edwards seemed to be under the impression that both FOX News and Ann Coulter were running for office, which is why he sparred with them instead of countering the Clinton machine and Obama.
