Which Way Are Readers Leaning in the Presidential Race?
Speaking of politics…While New Yorkers won’t weigh in on the presidential race officially for about another month, we thought the occasion of today’s New Hampshire primary would be a good opportunity to see which way Brooklynites (or a certain blog-reading subsection, at least) were leaning. Please take the five-question Democratic Primary Poll on the link….

In the meantime, any predictions for how the real primary will go today?

Just remember that the only reason most of you have heard of Obama is because Seven of Nine’s ex-husband got busted when their divorce proceedings became public and the gop couldn’t come up with a better candidate than A. Keyes.
It’s really a shame if we vote for people to run this country because of their looks or their names. Have we really become that shallow? I certainly hope not.
Obama may be elected for the same reason that JFK was elected. He’s young and nice looking and has a beautiful wife. People love that. JFK was quite young and inexperienced, and a Catholic, of course he was also a war hero and his father had been ambassador to England, so the parallels are not perfect. Obama’s chief negative is the name. yeech. That will cost him.
Mitt is a very nice looking man too but I think he has alianated Hispanics, he could chose an Hispanic running mate, that republican congresswoman from Florida with the hyphenated last name. That would work. The winner will need to carry florida and new mexico. the republicans have been so idiotic comparing hispanics to terrorists. that will cost them a lot of votes in those two states.
Sure 1:46, if signing a lot of death row warrants as governor prepares you to then go on and send almost 3,000 of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis to death, if that makes you qualified to be president, then you are absolutely correct.
Blaming Vietnam on Eisenhower? That’s rich.
Who warned against the military-industrial complex? Who coined the term?
Did you even read his farewell speech?
Sorry, 1:37. Like him or not, Bush was governor of Texas and then reelected with a huge majority. Obama was a back-bencher Illinois State Senator representing a district that was 90% Democratic.
Support him at your own peril. It will be interesting to see what his voting record was in Illinois.
MM – Anyone who has served a term as Governor of a large state is infinitely more qualified that someone who has served a single term in the Senate. Especially one who doesn’t even show up to vote.

Hey Montrose- he was qualified but just not for President (or VP or senator or representative or even dog-catcher) 🙂
PS- keep writing! this forum needs knowledgeable people who can hold an intelligent discussion. The troll is just jealous because he can’t compete.
1:34 – so George W. Bush was qualified???? Please.
