Re: Onanistic. Checked out Dictionay.com. They gave me two definitions for onanism and onanistic is the adjective form. My use of the word is the second (it's the one the one that is not "coitus interruptus"). The link is: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/o...
I refuse to make any more predictions; given my self-appointed "D" average, I should not be making predictions.
I think it is unwise to start making predictions about a republican Vice-President. We don't know who the candidate is, and the republican nomination process is really wide open. New Hampshire is a bit idiosyncratic; and projecting a clear winner from unclear past results is not a good idea. Right now, we could see any one of three or possibly four candidates take the nominations (The three would be McCain, Romney, Giuliani and possibly Huckabee).
More will become clear after the Michigan primary; if Romney loses, he is out. South Carolina will be Huckabee's test; if he can't win in South Carolina, he is out. If Giuliani wins in Florida, all of a sudden his candicacy becomes credible going into super duper tuesday. We may see a situation where after February 5, 2008, we don't have a clear nominee. That won't be the case with the democrats and that won't help the democrats as people will be talking about the republicans.
As for Clinton-Obama, that is the ticket we want as opposed to the ticket that will happen. I think it is the best ticket for the long-term future of the democratic. In this ticket you potentially have the next 4 presidential candidates while the republicans go into their wilderness mode. Whether this is the ticket that will happen is another thing; watch the name calling between now and February 5, 2008. If there is lots of it, this won't be a ticket.
There are more than two types of political. There is a big difference between saying that someone is further to the right than you and equating someone who is further to the right than you with the extreme right. That is a left wing manifestation with what I saw in the Thompson supporters who equated the democrats with the Communist party, and you know what I thought of the Thompson supporters.
Huckabee could pass the poutine test; the question would be would he pass the poutine test. Mike Huckabee is not stupid; he plays stupid. It is something about Arkansas governors; Bill Clinton did that all the time.
Cheers Andrew C. Bome
P.S. Huckabee/Rice for 2008, Obama or Clinton/Richardson for 2008
