Bill Maher, the smart-ass comedian....who must be smart, because he is finally getting around to saying stuff I have been saying for a couple of years....says that an Edwards/Clinton ticket will win for the Dems...but that the only sure losing ticket would be Clinton/Obama. He thinks THAT combo would be too much for some folks to swallow....I dunno. Anyway, I doubt it'll come to that.

What I fear is that if Fred Thompson runs, all the Republicans will say, "YES!, anyone who is not Guliani, McCain, Romney or Brownback!"....and vote for him 'just to be Republican'.

What I hope is that many of those who have switched to Independent will end up voting against Republicanism in protest for supporting the war.
