Does Mitt Romney always talk this fast? He's like a bad stand up comic.

He is eerily unlikeable.

why are they all giving celebratory speeches

Did someone put crack in his coffee?

Oh yeah, he's Mormon, no coffee.

Why are they not calling MO for CLinton? Have they not counted STL?

Yup. Maxed out, I believe.

Romney really is a horse's ass. Yet I'm not sure he wouldn't be a better president than McCain, just by dint of knowing how to manage. I just like McCain (and Huck) much better.

Allowing illegal immigration is not = what's right to business.

Creating a guest worker program is. If we deport the undocumented the way the "conservatives" want it'll destroy hotel and restaurant business and farming.

is trying to limit free speech isn't that the conservative stance? Liberals are the big stalwarts of free speech.

Absolutely not on both counts. Who is for and successfully implements speech codes? It ain't conservatives. Who keeps threatening to re-introduce fairness doctrine to the radio?

The biggest defender of free speech is the ACLU. I don't think they're conservative.

Being conservative will constantly be redefined and change.

Yeah, but it seems like you're redefining what it means to be a conservative right here, right now, on the fly. I'm not recongizing many of your "conservative" viewpoints as any I've seen reflected among conservatives.

I believe I'm reverting to what I've always felt conservative is.

Americans don't like McCain because he's a war hero. I've never heard people say that. It's not about criticizing him. It's liking him or not. People like him.

Dude, just this morning he did this when Romney criticized the Dole letter in support of McCain.

You don't seem to be reading what I'm writing. Romney slammed Dole and McCain said that saying what he said about a war hero was undignified. I'm sure there are some people who won't say vicious things about McCain because he's a war hero. I'm not talking about criticizing McCain or not. I'm talking about believing he's a principled honest person. That's the perception of McCain.

It's closing. Cities do tend to come in last.

What I'm enjoying is watching Hillary's lead shrink in NJ. I know she won the state, but Obama's getting a lot of delegates there (and in NY).

Colorado looking good for Obama, Arizona not so much

Here's hoping for a closer-than-expected CA race

Romney might be the worst speaker I have ever seen.

Once again New Jersey decides to stand on the outside looking in. The establishment Democratic machine continues to roll on in the Garden State. At least Delaware got it right!

The gap's still closing a bit, and he did mount a pretty huge comeback in the state over the last 2 weeks. But yeah...Jersey sucks.

No. It's now 53-44.

Registered independent, I declared Democrat today to vote for Obama. Looks like my vote wasn't enough in NJ, but it's closer than I'd hoped.

Republicans SUCK this year, Clinton is a nightmare, and I'm buying into Obama. And his wife, for that matter. She's much cooler than Hillary's wife.

Advanced notice to Andrews, Lautenberg and Menendez - I am voting against all of you next time around (Menendez didn't get my vote the last time either).

Yeah, but Hillary is winning by almost 80k as opposed to 40k an hour ago. The % is closing, but it's just Hillary winning areas by less.
