  • Mixed Blessing

    I'm sure tha McCain is happy about the endorsement, but he shouldn't be. The Terminator is not welcome in many conservative circles, and at the same time, I don't think this mere endorsement would make many Democrats vote for McCain over the Democratic nominee.

    There are many many conservatives, especially in the Religious Wrong, who will not go to the polls, even if HRC is the nominee. This is why GHWB and Dole (in part) lost, and why GWB won. And after 8 years with relatively little to show from their support for GWB, they will be more reluctant to go to the polls again

  • No matter who the republicans nominate

    Make Hillary the dem nominee and the election of 08 will be a virtual census of republicans. Hillary will lose by double digits, so start practicing your "President McCain".

  • Will the real killer robot please stand up?

    A federal panel found that in California, between one and two prisoners per week have been dying from normally treatable conditions. They've been dying from medical neglect, largely because Gray Davis made a conscious decision to ignore complaints about lack of decent medical care in the state prison system when he was Governor.

    That's a kind of weird death penalty, don't you think? One without any appeals process, that's for sure!

    Gray Davis called himself "Death on Crime" -- except he was really "Death on Minor Criminals Without Due Process."

    Probably about 3,000 prisoners died from medical neglect while Davis was Governor.

    Arnold played a killer robot in the movies, but Gray Davis was a killer robot in real life.

    Between Clinton and Obama, I think I will vote for the one Gray Davis decides NOT to endorse.

  • Oops math mistake

    Not 3,000 prisoners, just about 600.
