I know I just saw you like an hour ago and will probably talk to you again later today, but I'm listening to NPR and getting all riled up/nervous about the elections so I felt urged to write. So a few things:<BR/><BR/>I agree 100% about the negative ads too. They're dispicable. But unfortunately, they work. Obamarama has been opposed to using negative ads, trying to rework the way elections take place in the country, and I respect him so so much for that. So should he comprimise some of his morals to help him win the election? Would it be a negative ad for him to start pointing out a few things about Hill ... I mean, regarding the whole 'red phone' ads ... When has Hillary ever really been at that crucial moment in the White House? Wasn't that really her husband? Should Obama go there? <BR/><BR/>Did you by any chance catch the CBS early show today? (Im guessing no) or read about it? Hillary was on and was asked about a possible Clinton-Obama ticket, you know, those rumors that have been in the background of this election from the start. Everyone still seems to think that a Clinton-Obama ticket is more likely than an Obama-Clinton ... and Hillary certainly was not opposed to this and did not throw away the idea. What are your feelings about this? Numbers do still look good for Obama, but should we worry, as Clinton says, that it's true that Obama has not won a major swing state ('swing' in the general elections in November sense of the word), other than his homestate? <BR/><BR/>Lastly, at the start of these elections the Democratic party did not seem overly split, it seemed that one side would vote for the other in the November elections. Has this divide between the two groups widened?? Are they starting to hurt eachother? McCain now officially has the Repub nom -- meaning he can start raising money and relax a bit as the Democrats drag the fight out. OR on the other side of the proverbial aisle, is dragging out the Democratic elections GOOD for whichever Dem wins, just because there is much, much less attention being paid to the repubs? <BR/><BR/><BR/>okay, sorry, that was a mini essay. I'll close with this: I really like you're new blog. Im going to have a new one up in a few weeks, with a much clearer focus...we'll see how it goes. chao chao!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026483651263416311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235710468782686062.post-76257836948202185302008-03-05T02:18:00.000-06:002008-03-05T02:18:00.000-06:00Great points.

I'm having a really hard time getting myself excited about the idea of Hillary as the Dem candidate... let's hope Obama can rebound.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.com
