I think it has more to do with AQ being chased out of Bagdad and other areas. The surge did a lot.

What's AQ want with Baghdad anyway? That's Shiite territory. The Sunnis didn't have much of a chance in Baghdad.

IMO, to create instability and death. Thats what they've been doing for quite a while now. AQ isn't dumb. They know the headlines that are created when they blow up a convoy. It helps the we (US) is being defeated in Iraq.

And here we are back to describing why I like Musharraf so much. Guys like him are the only future the Middle East has. Musharraf isn't aiming his missles at Israel. He's not trying to institute Sharia law in Pakistan. He's not funding suicide bombers. He's ruling his country with an iron fist so none of that bullshit happens.

I take it you were a fan of the Shah of Iran?

The Dems race is way more fun then the Reps...so far anyway.

You Republicans have nothing but an assortment of corpses to vote for. And on top of that, one of them is a whacked out Mormon. Holy shit. That fucking party is scary.

[Tahoe]

Rudy can be lots of things but a corpse is way off. I spect it'll heat up at some point.

I like the Dems, when they form a firing line, they form it in a circle.

Does Hillary think that Edwards falling would be good for her?

I'd expect if Edwards left, the person who'd stand to benefit the most is Obama.

I don't know if I quite agree. Is Edwards' supported more by men or women? It seems that Edwards would also have the most support of more centrist Democrats, the kind who may even go over to the dark side aned vote Republican.
Obama is gaining momentum, especially among male voters. Something odd I heard is that Hillary, as of yesterday, was trouncing Obama among Black voters.

[Tahoe]

I always assumed BO and Edwards were fighting for the same voters and Hill had more center leaning Dems.

[Zip Goshboots]

I can't see real Liberals voting for Edwards. I know nothing about him, but he seems like a Republiwolf in Democrat clothing. I've never got it with him. I think Hillary probably has the broadest support base, with Obama maybe having the far left and pockets throughout the Democratic party.
I wish I saw the entire speech he made yesterday in Iowa, Chris Matthews raved about it today on Hardball.

I really do feel that Hillary's support comes mostly on the heels of her hubby, especially with The Ladies.
