Quote from hughb:
Neither Clinton nor Edwards have any plan to raise capital gains taxes. both of their planned tax increases apply to income only, and in Hillary's case only to those who earn over $250K per year. Oddly, she has support from women execs who will have a tax increase under her admin. I'm not sure about Obama, but if he had any plans to increase cap gains we would have heard about it.
If Huckabee won the Repub nomination I would vote for whatever Dem opposed him regardless of who it was.
As it stands right now, it looks like anybody who wants to vote Repub in the general election will be voting Mac.

OK that's it for Rudy. He's better off back at his businesses anyway.
Next up - the collapse of Romney.

because that tax increase will hit everybody who has a 401K or IRA invested in the market. (which is just about everybody)
Quote from Jayford:
A Clinton/Obama ticket would indeed be strong, but they hate each other too much.

i think religion will become more important regarding romney. its odd that his favorite novel is battlestar galactica written by scientology founder hubbard. i think cults may become a topic if romney gets the nomination.
Quote from Cutten:
Battlefield Earth is a sci-fi satire. It's nothing to do with religion, it's just a regular send-up novel, kinda like a sci-fi version of Blazing Saddles for westerns.
