I hope the Bene Gesserit are not feeding Limbaugh his info.

they want the primary to turn bloody.

As a Californian, I can tell you, our last primary for the Governor's race was absolutely miserable. Two guys, either of whom I would have happily voted for over the Governator, beating each other bloody to the point that by the time the general came around, not only were they out of ammo and money, but the whole damned State was sick of looking at them. So Arnie got re-elected.

This is what they want our Presidential primary to turn into. I don't think Obama will bite, though Hil seems game, on the (mistaken)theory that getting in some early shiv practice will be helpful in the general.

I so don't want to see this happen. I frankly think it's gone too deep into the cycle without going there to really do the same thing, but I still don't think it would help matters any.

So, while I'm not entirely sure that the Reich Wing actually wants to run against Hil, they sure as hell don't want the primary battle to end.

I mean, they tried for Truman, skipped Ike, got JFK, skipped LBJ, skipped Nixon (why?), tried for Ford, skipped Carter, got Reagan, skipped GHW Bush, skipped Clinton, skipped the moron Shrub (maybe afraid Cheney would take over).

It's all random.

Nutcases all have an axe to grind, and they are all wierdos.

I'm worried about the significantly more powerful and more organized interests who see a man that poses a threat to their profits and who cannot be bought.

There are no shortage of nutjobs.

that told the Dallas cops to stop the security checks going into Obama's speech during the Texas Primary? That Secret Service? I'm loathe to put any faith at all in any organization run by the Executive Branch at this point. Everything, and I mean everything, has been turned into mere political machinery to buoy their power. It's disgusting.

The Secret Service had been my last hope of an agency that would manage to not be corrupted by the disease that is the Bush Administration. It has always been above politics, knowing that its job was the same no matter who sat in the chair. After that order in Dallas, I'm done.

"He does very well in an auditorium with 15,000 screaming liberal sycophants," Wadhams declared, "but whenever he's interviewed on a tough subject or following a defeat by Senator Clinton in some primary or caucus, I don't think he does very well."

And McCain, confusing Sunnis, Shiites, Iran and Iraq the other day is the very picture of eloquence. I can only imagine the shit-storm that would have ensued had Obama made a similar mistake.

Protest at each station that hosts Rethug Talk Radio.

Business is much more open to influence than the Rethug Party.

We were never going to get the diehard Bush 19%ers in any case. If there are ways to discourage them from showing up at the polls, that would be a good thing.

The GOP has spent a number of years painting McCain as a "liberal"... e.g. Bush's 2000 primary campaign. A little research should turn them up. Calling in some of the alleged basis of these accusations might remind those people not to show up at the polls.

Phone lines are open. . .

Other than that, I'd say ignore them. Until their networks come up for renewal of their broadcast licenses in 2009.

I'd say it's time for media deconsolidation and reinstitution of the Fairness Doctrine. Other than that, the US might want to help finance the EU project which will attempt to integrate Internet with the TV set. . . set-top boxes and delivery via P2P. This might also give us another benefit... 10,000,000 channels and nothing to watch. :-)
