Raise Your Glass To Our Discernment and Probity

'Ticker:
John McCain (R-Ariz.) made a toast to the people of New Hampshire at Time's annual gala honoring "the most influential people in the world."

"I'm informed that it is the custom to toast someone who has influenced our lives. In that case, please raise your glass to the discernment and probity of the people of New Hampshire," McCain told the audience.

I agree.  Take a long look at our discernment and probity, as represented by the votes we cast on Primary Day:

Hillary Clinton:  112,404 votes
Barack Obama:  104,815 votes

John McCain:  88,571 votes

For every two votes cast for John McCain in this state last January, nearly five Granite Staters showed the discernment and probity to vote for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama instead.

Raise a glass to the future of this state.

You have a point, Dean, and so does McCain. (0.00 / 0)
If you had to choose between McCain, Romney, Giuliani, and Huckabee to be President, who would you pick?

That's an easy choice. (4.00 / 1)
Given the fact that every one would be a disaster for SCOTUS picks, I'd have to go with the one who doesn't worship at the Church of Trickle Down:

Mike Huckabee.

You're right. His church is far more radical. (0.00 / 0)

Have you heard any candidate make such an incredibly radical statement regarding something that matters?  It's at least up there with "a million years in Iraq".
