C-Span is showing both party caucuses in Iowa tonight. Might I just state now that Democratic women, from 18 to 70+ are way, way, way hot. Republican women, on the other hand, just behave very uninterestingly, i.e. Yawnsville.
Go, Girls!
That may be so, but which group of women are more apt to be taking Valtrex on any given day?
Posted by: Jon at January 3, 2008 08:52 PMDear, fucking, holy cow, this is painful. The Democrats are a lively bunch, jostling and arguing everything from policy positions to celebrity appeal to constituency responsiveness. The Republicans are pale-eyed automatrons, in hackneyed formation, stumbling over pew arrangement and microphone volume level. Ouchy.

Posted by: Clownæsthesiologist at January 3, 2008 09:09 PMNotable: the Democrats' seating arrangement, if you could call it that, is chaotic and unorderly. The candidates' legions periodically gather in roughly semicircular gaggles around a lead cheerleader of sorts, tally a head-count, dispatch emissaries to rival camps to attempt conversion and entertain the same from others'. Then they periodically reconvene to check status of 'viability' (15%) and return to the amorphous blob to politic.
Republicans have their seats set up in rows to receive wisdom from the pulpit, always preceded, quite formally, by me-to-thou introduction (often segued by a painfully off-tune rendition of a patriotic song) and don't seem able to keep adequately functionally organized as they break into disarrayed politicking.
Posted by: froz gobo at January 3, 2008 09:11 PMUnmistakable observations: 1. Democrats are having fun; it's an electric atmosphere. 2. Republicans are not having fun. At all.
Posted by: froz gobo at January 3, 2008 09:23 PMDems are - as a group of 50+ - arguing openly about the details of a County Party position against the State banning organized bicycle rides at caucus-campaigning time, delving to the essence of public liability versus public expense on infrastructure.
Republican HQ is characterized by one guy on his cell phone, hand over his other ear, hunched over and trying to explain the breakdown of specific candidates' vote tallies.
Posted by: froz gobo at January 3, 2008 09:44 PMDem gathering: An eloquent white college student just proposed an amendment to the Party platform to make its support of affirmative action dependent on a shift to economic status as opposed to race or color because of experiences she's had obtaining scholarship money. A paralyzed african-american gentleman rebutted that racism still presents barriers that he thinks the current implementation of AA and EEO mechanisms can chip away at. They deferred and offered respect to each other at the end of their presentations.
At Republican HQ the local party talking-heads bumbled through how Rudy was still 9/11-man despite the failure performance tonight or how Thompson exceeded expectations
Posted by: froz gobo at January 3, 2008 10:07 PMYes the Democrats are having more fun. Thank heavens the other Clinton didn't win this one, even though she is the anointed flag bearer of Corporate America.
But anyway, congrats to Obama. He's by far more intelligent and cooler than the Huckster. Am deeply disappointed in my guy, Ron Paul.

Running as an anti-war candidate in the GOP primary is the longest of shots. They like killing.
