Hi Monk. It usually isn't a good idea to answer questions about your personal opinions while using a DL.

Tass: Promise?

Agathon · January 27, 2004, 19:31

The LA Times exit poll has Dean by a point 34-33. Somehow I think the other is probably more likely.

Yeah...okay.

What are you on? Have you read any of my posts before?

I support Bush. *I* don't think terrorism will stop if we do. I do think there is a difference in how agressivley the different Democrats, if elected, will continue to agressivley persue the WoT.

Capt Dizle · January 27, 2004, 19:34

The important thing here is whether or not Edwards gets third. If he doesn't that may be the end of the whole ballgame.

You don't agree Al Gore is a truly significant politician? He was VP for eight years!

Anyway Imran, I ought to let you know you were the one who sparked my interest in Kerry, because I thought hey, if Imran Siddiqui, the card-carrying Republican considers voting for a Democrat, that dude might be worth considering. Today, my friends are very impressed with my knowledge of American politics because I predicted in advance that Kerry would win

And Shi, you hope to continue the war on terror? Not that I don't agree to some extent, but your fundamental political views do seem to have changed considerably during the last year or so.

My inevitably wrong predictions:

Kerry 37
Dean 34
Edwards 14
Clark 10 (drops out, endorses either Dean or Edwards. I can't see him endorsing Kerry.)
Lieberman 4 (drops out, endorses Kerry)
ROF 1

Hi DinoDoc. Well,

I'm hoping Kerry will run for President so that he might attract a whole bunch of guys like Imran that wouldn't otherwise vote for Bush. I'm thinking Kerry will win the nomination because the Democrats will realize that Dean doesn't stand a chance. Although Dean could succesfully intimidate the enemies of the U.S with his scary battle cries, it's not gonna happen.

And I really hope Bush will lose because I read the last State of the Union and it seemed like Bush or whoever wrote his speech thought that he had God on his side, and that's scary as hell. Also, I think the Americans will be better off internationally with a Democrat. I remember when Clinton visited my city - Copenhagen - and virtually everybody saluted him regardless of how many times he had ****ed something up. I understand if you don't care the slightest about international reputations, but do know that we're talking about your tax dollars here.

No... for one reason, he lost the Presidential election. In modern politics, with the lone exception of Richard Nixon, the loser in a Presidential election drops off the face of the Earth, and Gore has just about done so.

Go Kerry!! I like the fact that he is honest, will try to balance the budget, and did vote for the War in Iraq. I don't agree with all of his plans, but enough to make me root and vote (Georgia has an open primary) for him.

Um Vlad - how does "predicting" the results when they've basically been posted count for anything?

Jaguar · January 27, 2004, 19:45

I was hoping for an Edwards second place finish, but this is cool with me. Clark got fourth. w00t!

DinoDoc · January 27, 2004, 19:47

Monk: Is it just the fact that Imran likes him that attracts you to his campaign or is there an actual position of his that you feel is worthy of your support? Please understand that I'm not trolling, I genuinely am curious about the support candidates recieve beyond the "Anyone but Bush" crowd.

Because there's no actual results that have been released. And the polls here are open for another 10 minutes.

Plus I'm lazy and I suck.

Well, I have to admit my personal concern regarding Bush has a lot to say on this issue. Indeed, I join the hordes of people who are ready to support whatever candidate poses the most serious challenge against your incumbent President. And it's not because he's a Republican, it's because he's George W. Bush. I would probably support McCain for President, as would many others. Bush, on the other hand... no thank you.

I think Dean has a better capacity to do that since he's a little bit closer to the center, and more importantly he's more committed to democracy so he has a McCain-like reformist aura around him. For instance, I know a couple libertarians that are big Dean supporters.

Libertarians supporting Dean? That's kind of interesting. I feel very disadvantaged in all this because the media around here doesn't focus on details like that. Some European countries are self-centered in the sense that they generally don't try to accomplish any comprehensive focus on international affairs

I'm a libertarian who likes Dean. At least more than the other Dems in the race. I registered Democrat to vote for him in the primary. Even if he wins the nomination I won't vote for him in the general election. My vote is reserved for the libertarian.

The surest way to get reelected in American is to have a bunch of foreigners supporting your opponent.

You are George's best friend.

Dude...I have read them and agree with most. It's just the absurdity that the dems have put out that any Prez will be able to determine weather or not the war on terrorism continues. It was no offense meant to you...just the idea behind the propoganda that the dems try to push down the American's throat. In looking back on my post it does look like I was dissing you...That is definately not what I meant. Please accept my humble apologies.

Did I ever mention that I support the campaign of the remarkable George W. Bush? What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!

Dis · January 27, 2004, 20:46

btw Hilary Clinton is the most significant democratic politician of modern times.

Al gore? not a chance. Bill Clinton still has more popularity than him.

Dis · January 27, 2004, 20:47

looks like I'll have to go out and find a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker. I may be an economic conservative. But whatever Bush is doing with the economy isn't economic conservatism.

I'd hold on for a little more time if I were you... Kerry is probably stupid enough to choose somebody else but Edwards

UPDATE:

CNN projects Sen. John Kerry will win New Hampshire primary.
