Stunning decision!? Guess I'm among the few, the proud, the unstunned...

Just remember, it was also me who predicted that the sun would rise again this a.m. - again, nuthin but tea leaves...

Since I'm such a great tea leaves reader, I say Edwards voters will go for Obama overall and that's also who Edwards will support.

Angela McGlowan...are you kidding me? Are all of your conservative contacts on vacation, campaigning, home with the flu? I have heard her speak on various other programs on occasion and found that she doesn't ever speak facts, she is a republican "mouth piece" and I ALWAYS get the sense that she doesn't even believe what she is saying. Try and reach out to Tara Setmayer, a very smart, well-spoken, young republican. She always contributes something of substance.
