<p>Yes. I’m sure it is. However, in typical Obama style, it is far too abstract, too detached, too “Starbucks”.</p>
<p>“Jughead” issues voters are more concerned with real-world problems. Single mothers trying to figure out how to afford childcare. Working families worried about how in the world to pay for college. Or, how pay for heath insurance.</p>
<p>Wow, I’m surprised that Rudy is so strong among the (few) Republicans here. </p>
<p>I guess I’m just a bit too old-fashioned. I just think that someone who has been married 3 times has some “personal problems” or “personal failings” that will carry into his professional life - at least someway (such as: either the person himself is deeply flawed or he’s not a good judge of people/future spouses). </p>
<p>I don’t just feel this way because Rudy is “more liberal” than I am. I feel the same way about Newt - even though he is more politically similar to me. I realize that a person can be “completely normal” and be married 3 times at Rudy & Newt’s ages (with 2 divorces) but I would think such a person is out of the ordinary. I can understand one divorce and one remarriage, but more than that makes me uncomfortable. AND, I don’t think Rudy or Newt will remain married to their current spouses either - rarely do marriages that started as affairs last. </p>
<p>Does any of this bother any of the other Repubs here??</p>
<p>I have no problem with Mitt being Mormon. He seems to have been able to separate “church and state” as far as I can see. Perhaps - I don’t know - if it’s because he hasn’t spent his life in Utah - where the lines of Church and state are a bit more blurred. </p>
<p>And, boy, I would sure enjoy looking at his face for a long, long time. That man is good looking eye candy. (I know, Edwards is a cutie, too. When Katie Couric was interviewing him, she looked like she was considering him for a future spouse in case Elizabeth doesn’t recover!)</p>
<p>I know were not supposed to get critical here, but since I’m talking about my own party’s candidates, I think it’s ok…</p>
<p>Katie Couric has her own much younger boy toy – an extremely wealthy, young Williams College grad.</p>

<h2>Edwards, choose courage over caution. Btw, Edwards strong showing re-confirms my suspicion that the people who vote for CLinton tend to be low information voters who are voting on the name. Edwards is the progressive choice.</h2>

<p>And as the wife of a firefighter disabled by the clean-up at the WTC, I wish people would look at Rudy Giuliani’s record. The radios that Rudy G. allowed the firefighters to use - he knew that they didn’t work in high rises, and he knew that only one firefighter could talk on them at a time, which led to the deaths of a lot of firefighters.</p>
<p>Also, Giuliani went along with the disinformation put out by the EPA, with pressure exerted from the White House, that the air was fine, just fine, thank you, at the WTC. My husband now has asthma, my neighbor’s vocal cords were damaged, another firefighter friend of our’s just had a brain tumor. Giuliani allowed them down there with no or flimsy masks, and then, when the gold was all removed from below the WTC, he wanted to change it from a rescue to a recovery site, and bring in the big machines. The firefighters rioted over this, pushing him back.</p>
<p>Great guy, that Rudy, no??? I wish people would do their research on him. :(</p>
