Mark my words: Obama WILL be on the ballot in November, no matter what...

...do you think we would have had record-breaking, GOP-busting turnouts in Iowa and New Hampshire without him?

As long as Edwards isn't going to run for Veep (doubtful), Obama's gotta be a running mate, if not the nominee, for us to take back the White House in 2008.

This has been the most important post I have ever read. Please, give us more of your wisdom. We all await your response.

How could I even THINK of posting something so careless and erroneous without your permission, your majesty? Where was my head? I must have been BLIND not to see that everything I volunteer is baseless and without merit, while YOUR posts smell like perfume, taste like strawberries, and glint like the setting sun reflecting off the mountains...a hundred lashes with a wet noodle on my outstretched neck for my clumsy impudence! I know now that I have met my Master...

I eagerly await more brilliant observations to tumble forth from beneath your furrowed brow, oh Anointed One.

As if they are handed directly to you from the almighty. Honestly, it's the tone thats annoying. Try offering an opinion instead of pretending an opinion is a statement of fact. I hate these silly post titles, they remind me of everything crappy about American culture. Cockiness, self-serving, sound-byte friendly, misleading, I could go on.

I won't last here? Right. You can argue your point till your blue in the face, but don't be surprised when someone calls you out when you get cocky with your assertions. BTW, I like PBS.

...and sometimes I argue and win, and sometimes I argue and concede the point.

What I DON'T do is start attacking people for how they choose to present their arguments.

That's completely uncalled for, and is indicative of someone who doesn't really understand how these boards work. You're expected to debate the opinions of other DU'ers in a semi-civil manner, not berate them or question their intelligence for having the NERVE to venture an opinion in the first place!

So, let's look at this board--as of right now, everyone else GETS it. They're all posting their agreement or disagreement to what I wrote; NO ONE but you had an issue with how I presented myself. And the only other person to respond to this little tiff we're currently in agrees with ME.

Don't look now, but there's one too many on this thread, and I think it's you...

I "get" your point, but I still don't like your method. If you don't like it, that's ok with me. You don't see me crying about your protests of my response.

:shrug:

Even people like you are allowed to post here.

The venom between the two campaigns will more than likely, just escalate exponentially and I think Clinton may have already promised that job to someone else. Probably years ago.

you think he'd accept the veep slot? Assuming he was asked, of course.

I'd think that Senator is a better job than Vice Prez. Current administration excepted.

As another DUer pointed out in another thread, if he really wants to be president, he'd be nuts not to consider taking the VP slot.

Are we going have Edwards turn into the perennial Democratic VP candidate?

If there is one thing I can guarantee about this election, its that Edwards won't be the VP candidate.

I'm beginning to believe that the top three won't mix.

A lot of AA will pin their hopes on Obama being the first AA president and if he isn't on the ticket in one way or another I think many of them may be disappointed and as the most reliable democratic base in a general election we need them energized. If it's Hillary she almost needs to pick Obama to win.

The only thing I've learned so far about the primaries is that it seems like whomever pays the most to bus in the most out of state student voters seems to win the primary. Is this how it is supposed to work?

The students were going to school in Iowa. If they were going to school in Iowa, it's their RIGHT to vote in the Iowa election.

It just seems a little unorthodox, that's all...

I have no problem with NH students voting, it's the paying for the buses to bring them in I find a little...hmmm...strange?

Call it what you will, just for heaven's sake don't call it democratic.

It is Democratic...it's their RIGHT. It's the LAW. What's more Democratic than that? Many students had to go home for the holidays and not everyone can afford to travel back and forth, so Obama helped pay their way. Not a thing wrong with him doing that.

student's way back to where he goes to school, is not buying votes. If it was buying votes, it would be illegal.

That could make it uncomfortable to come together when the GE kicks off. Then again...Hillary may be advised to choose someone with foreign policy experience...Biden? Richardson? Wes Clark?
