LOL I'm not sure who all is still in the running!!!!!!!

Clinton

Obama

Huckabee

McCain

Romney

Who else? Is Ron Paul still in? Any others that I'm forgetting?

I think Ron Paul is still in. At least, I heard an ad for him yesterday. I honestly don't think the others have gotten enough exposure to have any real effect on an election, so I wouldn't even include them.

Now here's a question for everyone: Who do you think will pick up Edwards, Clinton or Obama? Or will neither of them?

Someone said something on the radio today that made sense. They said that anyone who is for Hillary is probably already there. Anyone who is not there already is probably not overly inclined to go there. So, Obama will probably get most of the Edwards vote. I think that makes sense. I just don't think there are that many "maybes" when it comes to Hillary.

Don't forget me! I'm seriously considering throwing my hat in the ring. It looks like so much fun to run for president!

Yeah, but do you think one of them will pick him up as their VP candidate if they get the nomination?

It's a good question, I'm not sure. The first time Edwards ran he did not win but he made a pretty good effort and appeared like a winner in terms of having made a good first effort.

This time around, he does not quite seem like a winner. His second effort was disappointing. Not to me, but in general. So, I'm not sure he would seem like an asset for VP.

For myself, personally, I support Edward's positions most of the time. I'm just thinking about how he might fit in to the VP picture.

Also an Edwards Fan, my guess is he'll support Obama - but doubtful he'd accept a VP job..Just my thoughts.

I was surprised that Edwards dropped out. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have a lot to do with his wife's health. Recurring cancer is pretty ominous. They were trying to be very upbeat and proactive about her being able to battle cancer this go 'roung, but frankly, I don't think it looks very good. They have small children and even if she is able to get a clean bill of health again, those kids need their parents right now.

Marjon I'd still vote for you.

I don't necessarily agree that most of Edwards' supporters will get behind Obama. Once Obama and Clinton get a debate going just between the two of them, the lines will be clearer.

Whoever it was that was complaining about Mitt's wealth, just remember that McCain's wife inherited big money.

As I said, none of the candidates are in the poor house, but McCain did not stand at the podium on national TV and make the claim that he was the only candidate that had ever worked a "real job". Romney opened that can of worms. :frown:

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
