Actually, I'm still part of the Draft Gore 2008 group on Facebook, so you're not alone, Dan.

Even if I'm for Obama right now.

The winner of Iowa won't win the nomination.

If Edwards wins Iowa, Obama will be the nominee. If Obama wins the nomination, Clinton will be the nominee. Iowa never picks the nominee.

You're really excited.

(even if she’s for the flag-burning amendment)

We commented this yesterday, but Hillary has always been against a flag burning amendment. She was for a bill that declared flag burning illegal when used to intimidate (it already is) and on federal property. That's still dumb, but a pretty minor kind of dumb.

Fnarf, Iowa picks the nominee almost exactly 50% of the time. Not great, admittedly (which is why I find it funny that everyone makes such a big fuss about it), but still a whole lot more than "never."

I'm with you, Dan. I could get excited about any of them, whichever gets the nomination. I like and have reservations about every Democratic candidate- but I'll be pumped about voting for whichever one come November.

Who won the dem caucus last time? Are they president now? Nope. How can this day be so important? And Bill back in the White House? That's just depressing.

Margaret Thatcher has a vagina, theoretically, and she was a bloody horrorshow. Same with Indira Ghandi. Having a vagina doesn't mean squat - or rather, it means one must squat - females can be the meanest sonsabitches.
In some fantasy world I support Gore. This one, meh...I'll end up voting for whichever Dme against the even more batshit Repubs.

Iowa chose Kerry last time and Gore the time before that, so, yes, they sometimes do pick the nominee.

CNN just predicted Obama to win Iowa. Excellent post Dan. I totally agree

Sorry for the random question, but Dan, do you really NOT know how to drive?

Your Gore pimping is the #1 reason (ego being second) that I think you deserve a swift kick in the nuts.

You're all missing the message here. Yes Obama blah blah Edwards blah balh, but the snow is the real story. We've got yet another week of Epic powder. Ya'll should be out skiing, preferably at the Pass as Dan recommends and far away from where I will be for the next few days. You leave my powder alone!
Oh, and you don't have to guzzle gas and such to enjoy. Rideshare works well for the pass. Crystal has a bus on weekends, and Stevens has a retarded shuttle that will take you from Sultan, but Snohomish does mean retarded in Chinook afterall.

Good lord you're tedious, Savage.

Except for the Gore fantasy, I completely agree with you Dan. I have minor reservations over any of them, but can comfortably support Obama, Hillary, or Edwards. I don't particularly care which. Any of those three would make a decent president, and would be a hell of an improvement over the Chimp occupying the White House right now.

But let go of the Gore thing, will ya? He's not gonna run. The time for him to jump in is past. If he jumped in now, he'd miss too many primaries to get in anyway. It isn't going to happen. Period. Just let it go.

Glad that you have forgiven Obama for the ex-gay preacher. But, I don't see why you still like Bill after the DOMA.

I hope Huckabee wins the Presidency and orders Dan Savage to LI. It's a win for both sides, and we'll be just as fucked.

"And I’ll be delighted if Hillary wins, because she’s got a vagina and that’s pretty neato..."

When I read this, I was torn between appreciating the sentiment and saying, "Thanks for the tokenism, asshole."

Then I realized that you didn't say anything about how it would be cool if Barack won because he's a brown person and that would be neato; in fact, you actually made a comment about one of his policy positions. So now I am no longer torn.

Thanks for the tokenism, asshole.
