I must be growing up. This morning, I'm watching a foxnews political show. I'm not grown up enough to eat strawberries though.
Sam Brownback represented Kansas as a bumbling idiot. Thanks. No, seriously, complete silence is the best opening argument. Follow it up with "I didn't know he was running when I made my statements" and you've got them off the trail.
Joe Lieberman is a very logical and steadfast speaker. He sounds like a typical American, "Party is important, but I'm going to vote for the candidate who is best for the future of our country."
As a republican, I am disappointed thus far. All of the good debaters are democrats. All the republicans are having trouble forming intelligent thought. The primaries should NOT be the best part of the presidential race.

Agreed - Brownback hasn't exactly been doing a good job of making KS look good. He's really irritating me. I kinda think Chuck Hegel's okay - he's the only person in the party that seems to have any sort of eloquence at the moment. He's at least an effective speaker.
And this coming from an Independent who regularly votes Green Party...
I've also been listening to NPR lately. And I'm getting bored with TV series, instead craving PBS programming. If only I had cable. But then I'd probably be addicted to the news.
The news gets horrible. Instead of reading for my exams, I spend a lot of time watching politics on MSNBC (my current favorite - they seem to have told their anchors to just go along with whatever viewpoints they have and stop trying to be particularly "objective" - the result is lots of arguing between Pat Buchanan and writers for the Nation).
I think the biggest problem the Republicans have right now is that none of their best rhetoricians (Hegel aside) are running for President - Arlen Specter was really great yesterday in the Senate, but he'd never run for Pres... he's too old at this point anyway.
What do you think of Giuliani?
I think Giuliani needs the right team to make him successul. Like, I would want to know his potential cabinet members now to decide if I would want him. He's got that Bill Clinton quality of winning people over with a smile, but not quite knowing why he would want to win them over.... I'm not sold on him.
I figure that as of now, Giuliani's the only Republican with a fighting chance, because EVERYONE in the country knows his name and likes him because of 9/11, and he could win it if he capitalized on that fame in the right way. Though I'm with you, in that I don't really want to consider him until I know who he'd have running with him and potential cabinet members and that sort of stuff.
McCain irretrievably lost my vote when he compromised on the torture thing a year ago or whenever that was (allowing Bush to reinterpret the Geneva Convention, etc.). I just couldn't quite stomach that.
Like any democrats?
Obama stands a chance because he has a magnetism I equate with a cult leader. Clinton is way to gruff for my taste - feminism aside. I'm thankful that I don't have to watch Kerry go for it again. I have to admit, all I know about Edwards is his remarkable resemblance to John Ritter. And based on Ritter's penchant to play creepy guys, I'd probably not vote for Edwards. Such an intelligent reason, no?
