    That's true. And it isn't the point. AGS, etc., long ago asserted the ineluctable candidacy of Giuliani, because the Illuminati deemed it so. The same kind of conspiracy nonsense deems Obama's campaign a mere sham, a dummy show for the reality - that Clinton is The Chosen One. Now, it may be she will still win, though it is looking pretty damn bleak for her, at this point. Of course, if she wins, expect AGS and Britishguy, others, I'm sure, to proclaim with glee their prophetic divinations of the Star Chamber's edicts were spot on.

    Here. A red flag should be this. With every "apparent" upturn in the Clinton candidacy, you have the likes of this: a thread screaming the title " Front-runner status McCain & Clinton"

    or

    And with every real-world sign of Obama's mounting success, you see crap like the above:

    Etc. In other words, the flag is in seeing someone who desperately clutches at straws in the wind, because to do otherwise would mean the deeply-held religious viewpoint, the conspiracy theory, is itself open to a personal doubt. And for some folks, this is just unbearable. It's a long-time problem in human behavior - as old as Plato, at the very least: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave

    Bush's approval ratings were not this low when he won re-election in 2004. They were about 20 points higher. Huge difference.

    So what happened to Obama ?
    http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/04/march.4.contests/index.html

    Sen. Hillary Clinton got her campaign back on track with projected wins in the Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island primaries.
    Sen. Hillary Clinton claimed victory in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island.
    Delegate-rich Texas and Ohio were considered must-wins for her campaign.

    So much for Obama being 'a shoe in'

    Can't see the Clintons giving in
    The going has started to get tough, and its seems the tough have started to get going

    With seven weeks until Pennsylvania, there's plenty of time for the race to get even more ugly.

    The problem is that it doesn't matter which of the treacherous triplets wins.

    Back in the day interns were called concubines. But I always liked Bill Clinton even though I am conservative in nature. I wouldn't mind TOO much to have him in charge again...

    She's back in the race that's for sure, I thought for a while the Illuminati had dropped her like a hot potatoe but there is life in the evil dog yet. :D

    I'm not being racist but I still think that Obomber is too black to be the next President amongst some people in the USA.

    But as Briant has said, they are all very very bad, it's figuring out which one of them will be the worse. As bad as Hillary is I still think that McPain would be the biggest disaster out of the three as President, followed very very closely by Hillary, then Obomber.

    That was sure a surprise I thought it would be Obama for sure, not it is quite difficult to predict. But Obama was promising tougher talks and criticism I think too much of it will backfire on him, giving Clinton more advantage.

    That's the advantage of a woman I guess, you can't do to her those mud slinging that you will do to man.

    I wonder if any votes were even actually counted anywhere.

    I know Ohio had some shortages of ballots so they had to extend it to 9:00 PM EST. Who knows... the government always will play tricks on us.

    It is kinda weird that even with those wins, Clinton still lack behind Obama but she was actually hinting to him to be her Vice President. I think this is a bit of overconfidence.

    That's great thing that a political had fight back in presidential race. But we have to think how and by which tactics she is bounce backing.

    Hillary Clinton has announced her plan to end the war in Iraq and urged President Bush to act immediately.

    "Our message to the president is clear. It is time to begin ending this war -- not next year, not next month -- but today.

    Smart move, letting Bush handle it so that when she is elected to office she won't be needing to handle this hot potato :)

    If you have an old racing horse but you want to win then how do you fix the race? Match your horse against couple of crippled horses.
    I think who ever they put against Obama or Clinton will win because most of America is not ready for a black or a woman president and this is the only way the republicans can win the presidential race again. :)
