Florida Votes..

Blitzkrieg

..and it's Hillary Clinton in a landslide. McCain on the Republican side.

Clinton 50%
Obama 32%

McCain 36%
Romney 31%


Thoughts on this? And what a fucking idiot Giuliani is. He tells everyone that he's waiting to make his run in the later primaries.. the big states. Whoops! The fact that Hillary won by so much is a cause for concern for the Obama campaign because it cannot bode well for how he'll do in the Northeast or California which could ultimately kill him.

I still think McCain is too old and while there's nobody better to handle the situation in Iraq, what does McCain know about finance?

Keep in mind no delegates are being awarded on the democratic side.. but still.. it wasn't a bad turnout.

Giuliani is a moron. I liked a lot of his civil beliefs, but I don't know what he was thinking at all.

The democratic race has been strange. It's been going back and forth. I personally feel that with Obama's public speaking skills, he will ultimately win the nomination. Of course, what is strange is that Florida is Ohio + Cubans, so I really don't know what to expect in Ohio and the other Northern States.

Regarding McCain & Romney. I don't know what people are thinking. McCain, other than having a strong stance against torture, which is a good thing, I don't know what he offers to America.

I think Obama really still has the momentum. He recently got an endorsement by Ted Kennedy and from what I have read many leading Democrats are upset at the way Bil has been acting on the campaign trail.

Giuliani made a big mistake and I saw it coming all along. He waited too long to get in the race.

As for McCain, I don't support him at all. He stands for exactly what I stand against. He is a firm supporter of the war in Iraq and a hard foreign policy and he is a economic liberal. McCain and Hillary are actually really good friends in real life.

If it is McCain on the Republican side, you can bet I will not vote Republican and there is no way in hell I will be voting Democratic.

Ron Paul for the Libertarian run ftw!

Hypocrisy at it's worst!

Blitzkrieg

Yeah, I don't see it. He's a great man (McCain) and as I said, he is probably the best guy to handle the war in Iraq, but other than that.. it's like we'd be waiting 4 years for someone else to come in and fix our domestic issues. They need to be worked on continuously. Honestly, I'd rather have Romney running the country. At least he knows finance. I think Hillary is intelligent, but definitely not a leader.. After seeing her speeches, I've come to the conclusion that she's someone I could see being a principal instead.

Obama and Romney for me. Either one I'd deal with.

I would feel a little more at ease with Romney. I still don't like some of his ideas but except for Ron Paul I think he is the second best, be it a very far distant second.

I am troubled about Obama's lack of experience, on economic issues especially. He doesn't have enough experience for me to trust him.

Hypocrisy at it's worst!

A little off topic, but do you think a "repeat" candidate, in that someone who has run in a previous election, has a better chance of being elected compared to someone that is running for their first time?

Blitzkrieg

Better chance? I don't think so especially when the person didn't really come all that close. Case in point, John Kerry. Nobody liked him then, nobody would like him now. His personality and views haven't changed. He just got a little older.

I think Gore might have had a decent chance if he had run again.. by all rights he probably should have never lost in the 1st place. I think it's good to have new faces in there.. they represent the possibility of change.

Well I voted for Huckabee today, but he got a 4th place showing. No surprise there though, he didn't have the money to have a good run in Florida.

It now looks like Rudy is out and will endorse McCain. Super Tuesday is around the corner and im sure we will see a more clear picture when that is over. As far as who I like, for me right now it goes like this,

Huckabee
Romney
McCain

Suffy

Just curious to why the democratic vote didn't count in Florida, I read it had something to do with a dispute between the national party and the state party or something like that.
