[AGL] 2008 election

[Gerry]

Mike,
Note the margins by which he won yesterday, veritable landslides, had to be
some white men voting for him. If he wins Texas by such a margin, like
60-40, there will be no stopping him. Momentum!

Seems to me that McCain's close association with Bush will kill him. Obama's
campaign strategists should be able to utilize a wide range of options to
bury the old boy without insulting him (too much). I can see Bloomberg
licking his chops. Of course his candidacy would do in McCain. Mitt spent
$40M of his own cash. Bloomie has a lot more money than Mitt but not nearly
as much name recognition or public persona.

Impossible to read Libertarian propaganda without agreeing with them much of
the time--in spite of the obvious futility of their cause.
