You can speak your mind all you want. It's a free country. I just think you should examine what you're saying. We are talking about the U.S. primaries here. Each state has its own system, and they are often very different. Sometimes votes are counted in "secret" and other times they...

I thought I might also mention that I did an analysis of the delegate stripping fiasco of states bumping their primary forward to have more influence. On the Dem side, the polls have things so close right now that it is hard to determine which candidate was hurt the most by this. The GOP...

I figured since nobody else is posting this, I might as well. The primary process is a strange beast with each state doing things differently. Generally speaking it isn't a straightforward task of assigning delegates based on proportion of the popular vote. For example, Huckabee got 34% of...

I will. McCain 30% Romney 29% Huckabee 14% Paul 12% Guliani 10% Thompson 5% Obama 41% Hillary 32% Edwards 21% Richardson 6%

Iowa is really a strange stone-age system that has little effect in the end. The numbers are in and there is no conspiracy behind it. Rigging this process would be so difficult that it is almost outside the realms of possibility. Claims of rigged votes get pretty tiresome. IOW, a rigged...

For the last month I've seen countless threads dealing with RP. What happened? I'm not being facetious. It seems that the RP revolution crashed when he only got 9% of the vote in Iowa. There are still a few hard core supporters out working for him, but even the online support has seemingly...

I agree with most of what you said, but just a comment on the abortion issue. Knowing what happens with a partial birth abortion makes me willing to take the risk you've outlined. I agree that a ban on partial-birth abortions will likely lead to a push toward a ban on all abortions, but the...

You don't need to be insulting in your knee-jerk reactions. The post was regarding whether I would take Huckabee or Obama. Neither of them are in my top choice, but if I were to vote between the two, I would go with Huckabee as stated in my post. Ron Paul was never a consideration in that...

BREAKING NEWS: Obama leads in a majority liberal state!!! :D <sarcasm>

First off, let me state that I'm not an Obama supporter. He's about 5th on my list of candidates, but I would like to comment on his behalf. I've seen this circulated several times and I think it deserves a fair response. First off, every legitimate source that I've been able to find states...

The disconnect is the fact that the majority of primary voters are typically not from the MySpace arena. Unfortunately for Paul, a huge group of his supporters are the type who like to scream about government wrongdoing all day long, but when it comes down to it they don't get out and vote...

Maybe, but I don't mind some of the taxes he instituted. IF there must be a tax increase, taxing tobacco and alcohol are better than taxing income IMO. I'll take a consumption tax increase over a cap gains or income tax increase any day. Huckabee isn't my first choice and I don't think he...

Huckabee, but only by the narrowest of margins. I don't buy half of what he says and I disagree with him on just as many issues as I disagree with Obama on, but there are a few key factors that sway me. 1) Obama really has less experience than any candidate in the field. I'm amazed that...

I wasn't surprised that Huckabee beat Romney either. The funniest part was whenever an analyst hinted that it was because Huck had evangelical support mainly on the basis of religion, that analyst would get pounced on. "No that isn't it!!!" "He just appeals to the regular people." or my...

SET is not the opening index price for the day. It is a value calculated by the opening price of all the components of the index. Not all components open at the same time so the SET is different than the first traded price of the index.

Southamerica, This might sound like I'm mocking you, but it really is a sincere question. Are you calling the electoral voting system outdated because you've researched how it works, why it was implemented, and why it is still used, afterward deciding that it is a horrible system? Or have...

I'm a Pitt man too, but I might agree with that. Their defense will have to be phenomenal to get past even the first round without Willie Parker. They have to go to their pass game but Smith is their leading pass blocker and he is out for the first playoff game. Can't look for Pitt to post...

It is curve-fitting to you because you don't accept the idea of a creator. Throw out the anthropocentric assumptions? That is exactly the point! Why should any believer be expected to throw out something they see to be obvious? Consider the following. There is a huge school of thought...

OP, Your original question just causes people to run in circles because the anti-creationist school of thought is essentially one school. Variations in opinion are relatively minor. Creationists on the other hand are often quite different in their opinions of the creation/creator. So you...

My post noted the fact that they have beaten the best. Indeed, facing San Diego and Dallas early wasn't easy. I'm not saying they aren't good. I'm just surprised that nobody seems to be attacking them like everyone else. Pat's division is a cakewalk and it would appear that they are...
