Not confidence. Just hope driven by desperation. MineralMan Apr 2015 #55
Agreed, we're living a Koch poisoned media atmosphere. It takes its toll. n/t freshwest Apr 2015 #61

This time around, Sanders DIDN'T announce in February...neither did Warren brooklynite Apr 2015 #66
the 2007 announcement was only a formality, he already had an organization going and everyone knew JI7 Apr 2015 #140
So in essense, the argument to support Hillary in the primaries is "you have no other choice" Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #159
Those are your words, not mine. Thor_MN Apr 2015 #167
Apparently, you should talk to the people you're presumably railing against, then. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #168
Well, you were the one that was railing to me, so... Thor_MN Apr 2015 #169
And every time you think you're being clever with that "someone else" shtick Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #170
What's the problem? Since you are not one of the people that you believe I'm railing against, Thor_MN Apr 2015 #171
I'd need to see the "right wing attacks" in question, before I would agree with that assessment Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #172
How, precisely, did you decide that my "POWERFUL MESSAGE" is no other choice? Thor_MN Apr 2015 #173
I'm gonna do what you did, in your post here. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #178
I can speak for myself and it is damn impudent for you to think you can (incorrectly) summarize Thor_MN Apr 2015 #180
Oh, my, I've been "impudent". Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #181
No, you have conflated what I have said with what you would like to think I said. Thor_MN Apr 2015 #184

I think that when we get a few other Democrats campaigning Hillary's poll Autumn Apr 2015 #74

So she's polling to win a primary in which she is the only candidate. cui bono Apr 2015 #119
The names of other prospective candidates have always been included in polling... brooklynite Apr 2015 #143
Still no officially declared and signed-up candidates, are there? Other than HRC? pnwmom Apr 2015 #84

No, you shouldn't be called a Naderite. You should be called a Republican. tritsofme Apr 2015 #98

In 2012 we had a sitting president. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #142
There are no other high quality candidates moving toward a run. tritsofme Apr 2015 #144
The multiple serious contenders were not yet in the race at this time in 2008. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #145
Obama announced in February, Edwards announced earlier in December. tritsofme Apr 2015 #146
There's more than a year before the convention. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #148
