crafty: ur in the movie biz, where's your love of drama...aren't you sad the circus is leaving town? do you only see the elephant manure in the street? what about the clowns, the flying trapeze artists, the human cannonball?

John: So, when do you predict Hillary will drop out?
- Postpartum distress? Solution, Betty Ford's Poli-rehab center for burned out reporters. There you will not be allow to read newspapers, use the internet, or discuss politics. Instead your will be asked to step down from your pedestal and write children's stories for kids in the inner city.
-Me, I am going to, sigh a breath of relief.
-Like the new photos! (Clean up your desk.) I have a better caption for the last pic looking in the mirror.
" mirror, mirror, on the wall who looks the most like Harrison Ford?"
- BTW tuned in to that 10 o'clock show just to watch your report of the primaries and Phil Shuman reported the story?!?!? WHat is up with that?

drerunner: you may be right abt hillary being the better general election candidate but perhaps only if - and this is a big if - she could win the nomination w/o alienating a really big bloc of the democratic party...i.e., blacks and young people.

it could be argued these voters would have no one to vote for but hillary in the general. but that's a prediction that fails to take into account some of the realities of campaigns. these voters could be so disappointed that they sit out the election or sit on their hands - and not do any heavy-lifting (fundraising, organizing, precinct-walking, etc) that is an essential part of campaigning.

the problem for the democrats (of course, we're only talking abt their problems right now - the republicans have their own set of problems) is that whoever wins there's going to be some very disappointed folks. look at the exit polls that show sizeable numbers of hillary voters would NOT vote for obama if he were the nominee

My guess, John, is that you've already joined the Irish drinking society. I don't blame you.
