Spring Break
Primary Colors
Abstract:
Voters from across the state will flock to the polls Tuesday to help decide the presidential candidates for the general election in November.
On the Republican side, John McCain and Ron Paul are the only two candidates left in the running. This week's four-state primary results gave John McCain the extra delegates he needed to secure the GOP nomination....

how can you say that mccain will jumpstart the economy whereas his protigy bush has caused a recession?
Don't forget you have a lousy Congress (who has an approval rating under that of the president and Democrat controlled mind you), banks that make mortgage loans to people who can't possibly afford them, dumb people that take out ascine loans that they cannot afford in the first place, dumb people that carry an extraoridinary amount of personal debt, dumb people that take equity loans against their homes to pay for crap they don't need (fancy cars, plasma TVs, vacations), etc. to blame for the current state of the economy. You can't blame the president only.

please educate yourself. Research the facts, not what the main stream media is reporting. Find out how many delegates are BOUND delegates, not just the assumed pledged or unpledged delegates. Mccain does NOT have enough BOUND delegates to be the Republican presidential candidate. The convention is not until September, after that and only after that will we know the real candidate. Right now Mccain is ONLY the presumed candidate. Many many forces are against Mccain. Check out www.gopteaparty.com I hope and pray that Mccain will not be the RNC's choice. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

From Ron Paul's video last night:
"Ron Paul to continue to campaign in person around the country - encourages all effort to gain the maximum number of votes and delegates in all the remaining primaries and to continue the caucus process that's ongoing in the other states by loyal volunteers."
Huckabee, Thompson, Romney supporters: Vote for Ron Paul on Tuesday to send a message to the Republican party that conservatives are still here and McCain better listen to us. It is called a protest vote.

I think its time for every one to stop this nonsence about change and listen to the facts and find out on your own about each candidate, every thing is on the internet ,the good the bad and the ugly. let use our brain we are the intelectuals that are looking like fools. if you are attending the university u must know that "he who follows the masses is usually wrong" dont get cought up in the ignorents of voting because of rase.

I live in NY...my wife and I are from MS, MS State graduates, and moved here.
I want to say that I strongly support Obama for President. I do not like hillary, even though she is my state senator. She moved here for political reasons only. The only people here who support her are older folks, and those who expect favors or kickbacks from her. Her headquarters is in Chappagua, wwhich is a wealthy enclave on Long Island. We have a closed primary so most of us could not vote in the primary....some others registrations were lost and were supposed to be "looked into"...our local NPR station reported this, although it did not make it into the national media, since she was the "anointed" candidate at this time.....
Hillary moved here to get delegates, such as Spitzer, who should be resigning shortly after being outed as a liar and hypocrite. All these old-guard politicians, hill included, are all liars and crooks. Hill has never once come to central or upstate NY when she is not campaigning for something. Her motivation is clear.
As she has said, "winning at any cost is all that matters"...and mudslinging is "the fun part" of campaigning....Her On Day One speech was copied without acknowledgment directly verbatim from her strong backer former NY Gov. Eliot Spitzer...since moving here, I cannot believe the crooks who qualify to be politicians here, and how delusional people are who vote the same crooks in office time after time....
Our government here is more paternalistic than MS, even though we are supposed to be more "liberal"....I strongly support my country and I was registered Republican when we moved here. I will not vote for either mccain or any ticker hillary is on for blindly supporting throwing all of our national budget and future away....
I remember tornadoes, now we get flooding a lot up here...we all have a lot in common and need a responsive, honest govt who does not promote fear-mongering, hate, lies.....before any real change can occur...

There are a lot of similarities between, not just hill and obama, but between all three...
However, more importantly, is that hill and mccain both supported bush to go to iraq and even more recently to attack iran....
Hill has never learned from her supposed "experience".....when will she learn, as on the job training????
Why does the national media give her a free pass???? World leaders will not.....we will go from being bullies to a total embarrassment around the world, who are actually watching hill supporters such as ny gov spitzer with his pants around his ankles and laughing....and then they will remember bill and monica.....and say what change is this???? hill now tries to distance herself...it is the same over and over...if we do not elect hope for a change.....
Obama offers distinct differences on smart trade, renewable energies, supporting manufacturing and US jobs, giving an actual mortgage credit which would actually be helpful....etc....smart growth and transportation, infrastructure improvements funded by drawing down from iraq...
Hill just says whatever the hell comes to mind from one second to the next...and the media just lets her off.....she and bill both benefited from polical fixers such as rezko, who was a main contributor to bill in 94, bill and hill say nafta was their greatest achievement and now hill wants to fix it....media doesn't really think this is important...hill uses GOP tactics to attack and spread lies about other candidates, even when proven totally 100% false in smear campaigns..no major news mentions it.....
hill has a lot of illegal donations, contributions from PACS and many health care companies, it just gets swept under the rug....hill has major lobbyists from saudi arabia, even bill admitted all the hijackers were from saudi arabia..guess who the number one donation to clinton library is?? saudi arabia.....and when will she release her tax returns?? she said she would before last tuesday in the final debate...she lied (again)....who thinks this is change?????
Only obama has talked about smart career training for future jobs in our global economy.....if people do not wake up, blame yourself for the continued decline of our country......
