I agree, Lou. As high as I've been on Obama, if the Clinton Pig's name ended up on the ticket, I honestly don't think that I could've voted for him. I've come to hate her that fucking much. I'm very relieved right now.

I agree with Apple about Rudy. As an almost 49 year resident of New York City, take it from me, he was the guy you wanted as Mayor after the Dinkins debacle (the absolute WORST mayor of my lifetime). BUT, Rudy had no business running for President. Touting himself as America's Mayor for the last seven years, constantly taking credit for the Post 9/11 revival of the City, and his overall boorish personality, made him a poor candidate. He wouldn't have even carried New York.

And I agree with TIS; I think it will be VERY close. But Biden gives him his best chance.

It was the smart move.
