- do we have a link to his predictions at this point in the race from 2008? -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 10:32 2
  - This might be doing that. -- (link) - mara Apr 26, 10:36 1
    - thx -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 10:36
- Rove's predicting an Obama landslide? Geez. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 26, 10:27 2

  - No, the housing market is still pretty much knee-capped -- nm - con_carne Apr 26, 10:26 9
    - Status quo doesn't make headlines. It's all about the 24-hour news cycle and "The housing market still sucks" isn't news. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Apr 26, 10:32

The worst campaign I ever saw was Fred Thompson, because he should have been a strong contender. - David Apr 26, 10:01 19

      - He's the only midget to never be the front runner. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 26, 10:21 5
        
        that was simply a factor of the amount of time he was able to be in the race - znufrii Apr 26, 10:22 4
        
        Yeah, I don't agree with ML...TPaw was just bland. - Will Hunting Apr 26, 10:26 3
