re #93
Right now, Mark Warner looks like a safe gamble.

No Richard, there is nothing wrong with it.  At least in my eyes, there isn't.
Nor is staying with your husband for whatever reasons.  

It's kind of a shame that Laura Bush returned to the more traditional role
in the White House.  It's like she set back Hillary's progress.

Nothing shameful about it.  Not everyone wants to be a politician or be
in the public eye.

when the clintons got married, she didn't take his name.  She remained Hillary
Rodham and for several years was crucified by the right, they said she was
disrespecting her husband by not taking his name, and that he was somehow a
weak husband for not MAKING her take his name.  For political reasons, and
because she was tired of the bs, she gave in and added "clinton" to her name.
It is hard for a female politician to be her own person in a chauvinist
society.

Re 99 - Maybe shameful isn't the best word, but to be honest, Laura Bush
represents a small percentage of the women in this country.  I always felt
HRC better represented me - she worked, she's a mother, etc.  Maybe that is
why I have no issue voting for her.

hrc also always earned more money than her husband, she was the one "bringing
home the bacon" as they say.  some still think women shouldn't work, let alone
make more money than their husband.

I think it is safe to say that that "some" is decreasing.

HRC represents special interests I'm not exactly aligned with.

"Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the
beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage always has been,
between a man and a woman." - Hillary Clinton, opposing same-sex marriages,
quoted in The New York Daily News

I'm amazed -- finally something I agree with a Clinton about!

Do you think those are her "real" views, or what she's saying to try to
get elected?

hrc also supports benefits for same sex couples, and civil unions.  she
attended a gay committment ceremony for one of her aides here in nyc some time
back.

HRC also supports "regulating" the Internet.
Civil union does not equal marriage.  Don't be so obtuse.

personally, I hope that the good senator from Wisconsin, Russ Feingold,
decides to run for President in 2008.

hillary *flag burning amendment* clinton?

 I think I could enthusiastically support Russ Feingold.

 It'd be interesting to have a McCain vs. Feingold election.

Good old reliable RW.  Always on the wacko liberal fringe.  Isn't 
Feingold even to the left of Flipper Kerry??

 By definition he is.  For Republican talking-points purposes, every
 candidate the Democrats ever run is officially "to the left of" every
 candidate they've ever run in the past and they're also responsible for
 anything bad any previous Democratic candidate has ever thought or done.

Bill O'Reilly always refers to the left as the "far left", but never refers
to the right as the "far right". What that shows is only where he sits - far
to the right.

How could you have reached such a conclusion without having watched 
every episode of "The Factor" ever made?

He doesn't sit.  He's an entertainer like the rest of those commentators.
He used to be a high school teacher and an investigative reporter but today
he is nothing but a commentator aka entertainer.

Who? O'Reilly's? I wouldn't know because I don't watch Fox, except in 
the morning because the other morning shows are too damn serious.
