Local radio talkshow wingnut's predictions for November
He takes occasional trips to D.C. where he knows some Rethugs (I presume). He was wrong both in 2000 and 2004, saying the Dems were a shoo-in for the former and "It's KERRY's to lose" in the latter.

At least I got him to stop calling Senator CLINTON a bitch. I accomplished this by asking whether he called THATCHER and MEIR that, and asking what the equivalent for "tough man" was for women.

For my own part, I believe racism is SO into the DNA that neither Whites nor Hispanics will vote for a Black. The media yakkers have harped all day that Ted KENNEDY's "ties to Latinos" will help OBAMA. Nope. A Hispanic DUer posted here a couple of weeks ago that "Nope" was the answer among all of her Hispanic acquaintances. This was borne out in Texas when the excellent candidate, mayor of Dallas, Ron KIRK, didn't get a boom from Hispanics.


This was the wingnut's response to the KENNEDYs' endorsements.

She's still ahead nationally and tough and dedicated.

I don't want to cause a heart attack or a stroke, but the next President will be a Republican. albeit a non-George Bush type.

She cannot be elected--too divisive. And her /their attacks on Obama revealed to regular folks just how ugly they can be in their entitledness. He doesn't deserve it. HE is too green. Change. OK, to what? From what I can see he arrives at the same place as she does but the journey is different.

I just think that voters will not want her if she is the nominee and he will be seen as too inexperienced.

If she is the nominee, I would bet black people will feel they've been done to again. I wouldn't count on too enthusiastic support from regular folks.

We'll get a Republican and most everyone will be unhappy with the choice. But I gotta warn you, I haven't had my meds today, so I may not be thinking clearly.

I also take a perverse pleasure in watching any of the political classes in a roil.
