Bill isn't any different than any other person coming to the defense of a family member regardless of the situation.

Bill discovers risks in today's media coverageFeb 9th, 2008 - 17:05:22

Times have changed, and every word uttered is recorded, excerpted, digested, and rehashed. Bill's personal shoot-from-the-hip style is not optimal in a world that parses everything, and reports everything.

Unfortunately, this causes candidates likewise to pre-think everything, and practice NOT making mistakes, and reduces spontaneity. It also means that no candidate will take a position that some in their party would consider extreme while in their own primaries. Now that McCain has pretty well sewn up the GOP side, you see Bush attempting to pass the mantle - but many Conservatives are not happy with Bush, either.

The fundamentalist bloc simply wants a candidate who panders, and Romney's very expensive attempts to do so, in the face of his own policy history, make me wonder even if the fundamentalists believe in the positions of their own candidates.

This country needs to hear a lot more from the middle, and a heck of a lot less from the retards on the extreme right. I see Ted Haggard gave up the ghost, and most of these televangelists are just in it for the bucks anyway, or their own personal glory in being worshipped by adoring yahoos. Pity those who contribute to these megachurches, expecting to buy their way into heaven.

It's my hope that he keeps doing exactly what he is presently doing.

The difference with Bill is that he's SMART.

If Bill is so smart, why is he backpedaling so fast?

He's smart, but also used to the limelight. This time, it is NOT about Bill, and apparently he had not gotten the message, despite party people trying to get through to him.

The question is how much weight the memory of the 1990's brings to Hillary's campaign. She cannot spend her time apologizing for Bill's well-intended utterances.

That's what makes the campaign so interesting to watch - like a soap opera in real-time. Obama's campaign is dull, in comparison.

The GOP STARTS OFF dull, and goes downhill from there. Like watching 'Rambo 28', starring John McCain. The more Huckabee campaigns, the more support he gains that may NOT end up with McCain in the end, as they pander (best word I can come up with) to different bases within the same party.

“I’m more into miracles than math,” Huckabee said Friday. “Miracles, I understand. Math is a little harder. People have said, well, you’ve got to have anywhere from 70 to 80 percent of all the rest of the delegates. That’s assuming no other delegates leave the people they’ve supported so far. … But as we all know, a candidate can say one word, do one thing, have one particular moment that can end his whole career so, you know, I’m not saying I’m just driving behind (McCain) at the NASCAR race waiting for him to lose a tire. But crazier things have happened.”
