Pffft.  Dude, surely you understand that these people view the fines as part of the budget.  Surely, by now, you understand that.  Right?

Well, then, since almost all of the 527s in 2006 were Democratic, I guess it's only the Democrats who think wasting money on fines is ok.

Probably so.

After all, if he isn't elected, he will make no changes. No one gets two shots at the presidency, or at least no one has since Adlai Stevenson.

Nixon did.

Nixon did.

So did Reagan.

True, Nixon ran in 1960 and eight years later, to the discredit of the nation.

Reagan ran in a primary and lost, and another and won. That is not the same thing as losing the election and running again.

In the context of the 2008 election, I am pretty sure that Obama will win and run for a second term (assuming he survives the first), or this will be the last time he gets the nomination.
