I'd like to teach the world to ... caucus!
Tonight I took part in another of Iowa's caucuses. Having grown up in Oklahoma, I'm still pretty knew to this whole caucus thing. To say the least it is unique. I don't think any person leaves the room thinking his/her ideas, believes, feelings, wants or desires are unimportant. Everyone gets a turn to say whatever it is they want to say on whatever issue is on their mind. It's nothing short of amazing & wish each and everyone of you could come to Iowa and experience it.

2. I Couldn't Agree More
Not Hillary...puh-leeze, not Hillary!!

We would lose for sure in '08 if Hillary gets the nod. worse, I can't stand her now. She's too right-wing for my taste. she was far different when she was First Lady. Now I hate her. She's gone way too far right for my liking.

4. You Know....
even though it would hurt us in terms of balance in the Senate...I wouldn't mind seeing Hillary lose her Senate seat in '06. It would make her far less viable as even being a POSSIBLE CANDIDATE in '08.

We can afford this one, anyway. Santorectum is as good as gone here in Pennsylvania, DeWine's on the run in Ohio, DeLay's a gone goose in Texas...lots of good news from around the country, we can afford to lose Hillary, and I think we should. That woman scares the crap outta me now.

We need to get a Democrat...a REAL DEMOCRAT back into the White House. Personally, I think the man who shoulda been President all along oughts get it in '08. Go AL!!!!!! Just, please, Al, pick someone other than Lieberman this time, okay?

5. rest assured...
I'll vote for whoever runs on our noble (D) ticket for president but I learned something not long after 9/11. I discovered that we only have one true patriot in DC. This man has repeatedly shown his character in office since that date. Has anyone guessed what name I'm about to type? RUSS FEINGOLD exhibits the guts and strength of character this country needs right now.

6. Eeeek... no, I don't want her to lose her seat in NY to a Rethug !!!
No, No... I'm not saying that at all !!

That would be HORRIBLE to lose that seat to a R-THUG !!!

I'm just saying that before she gets re-elected to the U.S. Senate, I hope that she promises New Yorkers that she will not run for president -- that's all.

From everything I've been told, she's doing a great job in the senate.. She should stay there!
