QUESTION OF THE WEEK #127

Who supports this sign more: Republicans or other Democrats?

This Week's Question:

You are a Democrat in Iowa. Your #1 goal is to get a Democrat elected to the White House.

Your favorite candidate is Hillary Clinton, who maintains the lead for the Democratic nomination in Iowa and nationwide.

However, current polls suggest that Clinton would lose in the general election against at least five GOP candidates -- Giuliani, Romney, McCain, Huckabee, and Fred Thompson. The same poll indicates that Obama and Edwards would do better than Clinton among independent and young voters.

For the upcoming primary election, do you vote for Hillary Clinton?

THE GREATEST DAY IN THIS COUNTRY'S HISTORY

Last night, I was watching this movie on cable about a presidential race that is either a dystopian thriller or an absurdist comedy. (See clips above and below.)

I got hooked when one candidate said that if Roe v. Wade is repealed, that would be "the greatest day in this country’s history." Sandman and Venom ain't got nothing on Tancredo!

Unfortunately, I fell asleep before I got to the end and didn't find out which character emerged as the colostomy bag that received his party's nomination.

But I'm assuming it was one of the three characters who raised his hands when the moderator asked, "Is there anybody that doesn't believe in evolution?"

RUNNING WHILE BROWN

Richardson is Running ... for the Border

Yup, that's an actual screen capture above.

When Oliver decides to run for office, I can't wait until the New York Post prints the headline:

WANG THROWS CHINAMAN'S HAT INTO THE RING

*

Just as Obama and Clinton are forced to field idiotic questions and analysis of their race and gender, respectively, Governor Richardson will inevitably weather acerebral comments about his Mexican heritage and the fact that he grew up in Mexico City.

I feel bad for Richardson ... until I remind myself that he is the one directly responsible for the racial profiling and incarceration of Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee.
