Besdies which, we were willing to forgive one idiot vote (don't talk to me about hanging chads, it should never have been close), but not two (again, should never have been down to one state).

Of course, it would take an ineptitude in campaigning of Democratic proportions for the Democrats to screw this one up. Oh wait... "The basis of optimism is sheer terror" - Oscar Wilde
Please excuse me for voting for the Huckster, but statistically speaking, some of us are voting for the demise of the amurkan system, which can only come about through more chaos.
I would rather prevent a further slide into hell, thanks. Please tell me you're joking.
Do i care if amurka must go through more hell? (Yes i do) But that doesn't stop the necessary hell. Skennah Kowa
Guys WE have to make the EU stronger, not some half twit huckabilly cowboy preacher.... notes from no w here
Truth is I see an overwhelming endorsement of John Edwards as per votes cast so far. And it seems Et'ers, US & RotW, are fairly similar so far (I'll expect a full stats analysis from Mig in a couple of days ;-)) And different from kos.
Of course we are different websites, be interesting to see how booman does, and have a different culture, but it's worth knowing. keep to the Fen Causeway
Far as I can see there's only one vote for the huckster. That's hardly crawling.
Sorry Helen - but this string of comments was started by Crazy Horse:
Please excuse me for voting for the Huckster
and it is in that context I read them notes from no w here
The point of the exercise was to see whether there are statistically significant differences between the US and RotW votes. The way the chips are falling and with 37 votes tallied, the only question one can answer is whether support for Edwards differs. This is because there are only 10 US votes. Come on, people, get out the vote!
The result of the vote so far is:
On the other hand there is a possibility of extending this kind of predicament to otehr areas of the world as Africa, england or even some parts of Eastern europe regarding faith and fighting back enlightnment. However, the stronger and better attacks in Europe (sp western Europe) come from economic religious people and not from god religious people.
And there is also something important, a Huck presdient will be a complete and utter disaster for the US in the short and medium term.. and you know what? I am afraid it would be awfull in the long term too because his discourse will become the new middle standard.. I do not expect any swing back after Huck on the religious crazy issue in the US...so Huck will bring closer a US where religious american fanatics use the nuclear bomb at will for religious (and not raw power) arguments.
A pleasure I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
Wow. If a hypothetical vote generated this much discussion, what are the months right before the election going to be like.... <runs, hides>
and I still think a Huck administration ahs more chances than an edwards one.. sad.. but true.
get ready for the emigration. Barcelona is a lovely place :)
Seriously, I don't think Huckabee can win the GOP nomination, much less the Presidency. But I've been wrong before. In one way the man scares me. As Drew wrote, a majority of people in the US are fed-up. Yet, no one on the Left is doing anything. Huck is projecting a mixture of down-home populism, Holy-Roller, anti-war, resentiment that could, if the chips fall wrong, do well. A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run
It's politics, not Opus Dei, Crazy Horse.
You may not like the "Amurkah" that emerges in place of this quasi-religious fantasy you seem to have come up with.
By the way, what is it about certain people -- mainly Europeans but also a few American expats -- in Europe that gives them this incessant need to make fun of the way (they apparently think) Americans talk? It really is quite childish betrays just how shallow and petty the discussion of international politics has become for some people. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
