That wasn't mentioned either in the post or in the comments on the post - though there were some negative comments about the Clinton campaign. That your comment references nothing that has been said here makes me suspect that you are trolling.<BR/><BR/>However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now.<Sandalstrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303641009581382217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18491098.post-12867091930332000162008-05-28T15:44:00.000-05:002008-05-28T15:44:00.000-05:00The POINT of the Convention is to choose a candida...The POINT of the Convention is to choose a candidate. To keep saying Clinton should drop out because she is behind is silly. Do we look at polls of elections and say that the one obviously behind should drop out? Clinton and Obama are probably closer than any other set of potential candidates that has gone to convention for choice and the longer both are in, the more race and gender issues goprairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532311590000341237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18491098.post-31576434095332632442008-05-23T07:59:00.000-05:002008-05-23T07:59:00.000-05:00Sandman: Good post.

But given their ability to self-finance (and most of their campaign debt is to themselves, I think) I'm afraid they can keep this going as long as they choose to.Sandalstrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16303641009581382217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18491098.post-90706987422079554742008-05-22T15:47:00.000-05:002008-05-22T15:47:00.000-05:00Sandalstraps,I was hoping to get your thoughts on ...Sandalstraps,<BR/><BR/>I was hoping to get your thoughts on this primary.

All of the candidates were poor on immigration, which you and I both know is my pet topic, and that Wylie fellow couldn't even string two sentences together for the KFTC Voter Guide.
