At least

Ron Paul is on the ballot here ;-)

sarc will be pleased..

Not exactly...

More like totally mystified by the 15 who somehow found a way to vote for him despite my various immense bias busts. :) I voted for Hillary, it's nice to be in the majority for once around here.

Hiya sarc

Out West, huh?  How's the weather in Baton Rouge?

Yes

I'm only sorry I waited until I was so-old to see Carlsbad, it's a treasure for the eyes, and even more-so for history buffs like me. I'm having a great time, but this dry air messes up my nose a bit, and I can't seem to drink enough water to counteract it! The cave was wonderfully-humid & dark but not TOO dark, and SO beautiful.

And I've come to the conclusion that people simply do not appreciate bats (and poisonous snakes!) enough for all the good work their eating habits do for humans. Here's raising my glass to unpopular critters, I love 'em.

}}---> Sonora Caverns

You might be interested in a Sonora Caverns, a smaller cave with only a couple of miles opened up to the public, but worth the visit.

~LYDSEXICS UNTIE!~

Sounds cool

I wish we had time. In Carlsbad, within the cavern, they recently discovered ANOTHER cave, totally pristine, called Lechuguilla that supposedly stretches 126 miles!!! NASA (for Mars) and cancer researchers (the bacteria are weird down there, they produce enzymes which seem to kill cancer cells & leave normal cells alone) are both doing mucho research. Sadly, yours truly is not allowed to look, for fear I'll contaminate the place!

Funny you should say that

We saw the bat emergences at both the Bracken bat cave (cool civil war and WW2 nitrate-source history!) as well as Carlsbad Caverns. Mexican free tailed bats rock.

The Bracken cave bat emergence is particularly spectacular due to their numbers and prodigious stench, but you have to give money to Bat Conservation International to get in, if my guess is right, and even then it's only about 8 nights a year. Oh, and the other guy's geography's just a wee bit off.....

Baton Rouge drifted?

I thought you hail from Florida, sarc.  And Here in Texas our maps put Louisiana west of Florida.  It's all this continental drift confusing me, I guess.

There's a nice Bat-cave in Mason, Tx that holds about 7 million bats all Spring/Summer.  The long black ribbon of bats stretches for miles every night.

~LYDSEXICS UNTIE!~

It never drifted

But when I say "west" I mean "west."

Yeah, we ALMOST made it

To your state, but not quite! Anyway, heads up for yet ANOTHER dishonestly-placed weather station due to this trip -- I may try to leave politics behind, but politics won't leave me alone.

My brothers spotted it and photographed it today, and the dishonesty of its placement is quite blatant (it's right where ancient prehistoric Indians hunkered down to stay warm!). Our taxes at work!

Blatant Ron Paul Bias

Its still bias aganist Ron Paul, Matt

No brainer, yes

And you haven't even read our forthcoming Hillary book yet, which ought to put a nice Hi-Liter through that point.

That was strange.

By accident I was the first to vote in this pole, the results pop up and surprise it's 100% Obamarama with 1 vote counted, then it disappeared!

Finally!

Finally! A multiple choice test I can pass!

Yeah that was a huge no

Yeah that was a huge no brainer. The answer is obviously The Dragon Lady (who is also a no brainer). Now, of course, the media would like Edwards, Obama, or any other of those Dems to be President. But they go gaga by far over Hillary Rotten Clinton more than anyone else.

And there she was

once again on the cover of Newsweek...with the caption "what kind of a decider will she be?"  It seems the media just can't give her enough print and air coverage!  Makes one want to "toss their cookies"

Wonder when we'll see the other candidates being featured likewise...I sure won't hold my breath!

I think the media will prop

I think the media will prop up Obama as the #1 contender and a legit threat to Hillary. Not that they necessarily want Obama or Hillary to win... but what they do want is a tight race that gives them something interesting to cover and hopefully grabs the interest of the American people during the campaign. If its a blowout, people will lose interest for awhile, and if that happens, the media fades in relevance faster than that photo of Marty McFly in "Back to the Future."

Wanna win or FORCED TO MAKE HER WIN!!

Quite a difference of who they may wanna win compared to who they will be MADE TO PRESENT TO MAKE HER WIN!!  No reason to show name as the HER gives it away!!

I think it's a close race

I think it's a close race between Obama & Giuliani.

Obama?

You dont think the media will line up behind Hillary?They are looking for someone to win and Hillary leads the Dems.

I voted Obama

My gut feeling is that although they like reporting on the Shrew (Hil), they have a secret burning desire to see her go down in flames and the one they can feel best about as the cause of said destruction would be a clean, articulate, is-he-black-enough candidate with moslem tendencies.

I expect in 2008 that a

I expect in 2008 that a lot of newspaper endorsements for the Dragon Lady will appear in record early time (probably soon after the Democrat convention). They'll be so eager to get their endorsement editorials in. Plus, the endorsements themselves will likely be more gushy and laudatory than any endorsements in previous years.

Remember, she is the smartest woman in the world and her hubby was the first black president. The media love the Democrats. But they worship the Clintons.

Joe Biden

It is surprising that the bloggers here missed this loaded question as the answer is Joe Biden. The media is afraid of Hillary and by the astute pot shots they are taking in the primary run they do not want this woman with blackmail files any where power again.

Biden is their patrician comrade. He lies a little, pretends he loves mom and pop a little, acts like he is brighter than the American dregs and just looks grey suit presidential comfort.

As a caveat, the media does want Ron Paul to win the GOP primary as he is a mixture of Devy Kidd, Jeff Rense and Pat Buchanan who are all isolationist anarachists and the MSM knows Paul will wilt in a national spotlight as his policies to the core are what brought about Pearl Harbor leading to WW II and our current Clinton hands off bin Laden which gave America 9 11. Paul isolationism is a wavering disaster history has proven costs hundreds of thousands of lives. This is what the MSM will crucify him with if he somehow wins in the primaries.

Joe Biden though is the answer as the MSM might like having blacks around for color, but they chose Obama as is proven because he is stupid and can be manipulated. The rest of the Dems are loosers with Richardson only in the race for the Hispanic vote candy.....and it looks like Gore or Hillary are going to toss his brown is beautiful butt back to tortilla ville and choosing that dufus Ohio dem governor.

Well, the AP supports Hillary....

Well, the AP supports Hillary.... back in Feb, 2006, when HRC's wax likeness was unveiled at Madame Tussaud's wax museum, included with the AP story was this published picture. The picture shows friends of AP holding a "Hillary 2008" sign in President George Bush's [wax] hand. Nothing like publishing your agenda right up front.

LOL-So now we get a NOTA

Of course, I voted for the Hildewench. Who else is there?

-Hillary Rodham, September 3, 2007 AARP Legislative Conference.

My first vote for Ron Paul!

Can you just imagine the train wreck a Ron Paul administration would be!? It would be a media fest!

Any coherent reasoning...

As to why they'd like him (despite this blatant busted lying bias I doublehandedly & bipartisanly busted with NB user "Sportpolitics") instead of Hillary? I'd love to see it if so, but coherent reasoning is somewhat rare around these parts when it comes to Dr. Paul, as the above linked Fox News slam-dunk text-poll lies bust proves all too well ("who cares" about bipartisan lies due to media bias from NB poster after NB poster -- read 'em & weep!)...

Coherent reasoning for a silly internet poll?

Well I will try.  I think they would like a Ron Paul win just for the fact it would give them so much to cover.  I mean, let's face it, Ron Paul has got to be one of the craziest people to run for president since Pat Paulsen. His absurd notions of getting rid of the IRS, Income Tax, pulling out of NATO and the UN.  Going back to the Gold or Silver standard, Hah. Elimination of the Federal Reserve, Fema, NASA.  Seems like he wants to turn the US into another England (A great country, but with very little power). Ron Paul's isolationist path would only lead to greater problems in a world ruled by China and a resurgent Russia.  So in conclusion, I think the media would love Ron Paul.  They would have endless stories to cover and may even need to hire more reporters to cover all the fiascoes created by a Ron Paul presidency.

Well, the coverage/bias so far

As well as the results of our own poll, seem to say they want Hillary. Question: Is it ok to lie about Ron Paul's positions because you disagree with his views? (Example in bias bust linked above, or your post, considering nonintervention != isolation no matter how many times people try to repeat it, hoping to somehow make it true.) And I wonder how the USA not only survived but became a leader among nations with no IRS to tax individuals? Mysteries...

MSM wants a liberal

The MSM wants a liberal, but interestingly, so do terrorists. When you ask what the MSM stands for, or a liberal, or the ACLU...it is not the USA, but they stand for the terrorists..., freedom fighters.

If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG.

Sorry

but in their heart of hearts the media love Dennis

Correct botg

That's why I had to vote their conscience for them. Dennis is who they really want, but they'ell take Hussein or Husslery, heck they'ell take any democrat. They'ed take George Sorros or a foreigner before a republican.

of course he is

and there are a lot in the media who distrust Hilda since they know she will sell-out any position for political gain
