As I said on the post on the main page, how will the Kossacks react to this?

It will be a terrible blow to them. Jerome Armstrong is ["was?"] on Warner's payroll. Now he and Kos will have to find some other Democratic candidate to shake down.
Hilarity! and all her campaign money are looking stronger again without Warner in the race.
Remember, the last Presidential election the Democrats won without a southerner at the top of the ticket was 1960. This leaves John "The Breck Girl" Edwards as the only southern candidate on the Democratic side, and he is probably too slimy even for them to nominate.

Not to kill the buzz or anything...but who exactly do the Republicans have? I can't think of a single legitimate conservative candidate. Do we just bite the bullet and go with the semi-Republican Giuliani? McCain's old and nuts and barely Republican and I refuse to vote for him because of his betrayal of the Constitution on judges. Pataki's...no, never mind, I can't even mention him without laughing although he seems to be the only one to actually 'declare' already. He's setting himself up for a nice ambassadorship somewhere if a Republican gets elected. Allen's already done enough to crush himself it looks like, fortunately he did it early enough to get him out of the way. I don't see Jeb running...even Republicans would back 'anybody but another Bush' I think. Condi's not a conservative and what's this 'Israeli occupation' crap she's spewing? I'm not seeing a candidate, yet.
C'mon, GOP, give me someone to vote for!!! It's bad enough I have to go to the polls next month and 'not vote' for a bunch of races because the NYGOP has lined up such an assortment of turds to run against the usual string of liberals. I don't know if I can even bring myself to vote for the loser running against Hillary...I'm thinking of just NV'ing that race...do you know how incredibly, stupefyingly asinine I'll feel not even being to vote against Hillary?! I think the GOP better realize that bad things are indeed going to happen in a month and they have only themselves to blame (immigration and fiscal responsibility would have been enough to keep the base together, but, no, they had to go and turn into Democrats on both) and they'd better fix it before '08, but I'm going to cry if Michael Moore gets to pick the next two SCOTUS judges, which will almost certainly come after '08 unless one or both of them of them buys the farm before then. I've said it before, if Roberts truly loved us he'd bury Ginsburg in work and drive her out, but instead he'll pamper her and let her sleep through oral arguments.
I guess I'm more fed up with the GOP than I thought. I don't think I'm alone. The only thing that keeps me going is the fear of how much worse the D's will make things, not to mention scarily unsafe. Are conservatives going to be forced to turn to 'anybody but Democrats' as a slogan?

Hey Falze,
If Michael Moore gets to pick the next two judges, it'll be YOUR fault. You aren't a beauty queen to be fawned over. Nobody is going to hold your hand and make sure that you can embrace the candidate with slobbering kisses. Nobody cares. You can either suck it up and elect the best of the candidates after they are rightly chosen by primary voters, or you can sit on your hands in a mastubatory effort to feel 'good' about yourself.
On top of that, you didn't even mention Mitt Romney.
Anyhow, this is great news, although I can't help but think that Hillary might have something to do with this. He's a threat to her and one of the biggest challenges for us as well.

That's right, I forgot about Mitt. People are already 'worried' because he's a Mormon, whatever on earth they mean by that. I get an odd vibe from everything around him that leads me to believe he's going to end up not running. No, I can't explain why.
Oh, and if you weren't such an a-hole you'd know by my other postings and my own sites that I'm not the sit on my hands type. If you weren't such a knee jerk you might have actually read what I wrote and correctly interpreted it to be concern for what the GOP is becoming and what it already is in NY. If no one raises an alarm we're all just going to sit in the pot until we boil.

Slick Willie is coming to Va to campaign and raise money for Webb. Wonder if Webb will tell him the same thing the female dim did out in the heartland. He's welcome to raise money for me but stay away from my daughter. Even some democrats have a small brain. Funny that everyone's hero can't be trusted around female (male???) children even by the democrats.
