zornwil Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings for those of us down in the ass end of the world can you explain why? He has some reasonable controversy dogging him though I think mainly the nation simply isn't going to elect a third Bush anytime soon. I could well be wrong, but I hear most people saying they feel that carries the very notion too far. HOWEVER, I don't know that I'd go so far as to say "unelectable." I know lots of moderates who say they wish Jeb Bush were in instead of GW Bush. Only the liberals are really foaming at the mouth against him at this point. A nation-wide run, however, would bring up the specter of 2000 and some concerns regarding his alleged involvement in sculpting the 2004 results unfairly. I do think that he would lose, but I don't think he's unelectable. For example, Jeb Bush versus Hllary Clinton would probably result in a Jeb Bush victory or at least be close.

Samuraiko Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings You'd think 17 pages would be considered to be a good day for me. Instead, it's the weakest performance in the past 3 days, and mom's riding my ass right now about it. And my right wrist is aching something fierce. Sorry to hear that, man... take a break and give your hands and mind a rest. Michelle aka Samuraiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuraiko Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings *grins widely* You liked it? Thanks so much! It took a lot of work... finding the right animated segments was a pain in the ass, and Windows Movie Maker isn't all that hot... I wish there was a way I could post it on the board, but 1) it's way too big, 2) it takes way too long for most people to download it, and 3) it's not an officially sanctioned trailer, so I'd get in a metric assload of trouble for it.

Samuraiko Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings You heard it here first, folks... my trailer kicks major butt. Now THERE'S a thought... I wonder if I could make any kind of money doing freelance work, making movie trailers or whatnot for people. Even a really nifty slideshow of gaming characters or whatnot might work, to really good music. Michelle aka Samuraiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Well, my POS "car" finally blew a gasket (figuratively or literally) and dumped its guts on the freeway. I feel... liberated, not having to deal with the B.S. anymore... John T Sorry, John and Samuraiko. But with that sense of liberation maybe also some opportunity unexpected will arise, too.

zornwil Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Being sick sucks. The only thing worse than being sick is haveing a company laptop, meaning even taking a sick day I still have work to do. Plus side, I don't get as behind, down-side I feel slightly guilty for watching TV. Plus side, I get to do work in sweats. On another note, even though I am not a prolific poster, due to my increased workload I likely will be posting even less for the next few months. Sorry to hear all that, particularly your decreased presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Re: Musings on Random Musings Why do women think every word that drips from a man's mouth in jest is some deep seated hidden truth of the universe? (snip) It is odd. It's scary in that does that mean that's true of women? See, I don't think so. So I think they need to realize that. Not suggesting all women do this, but I've seen it somewhat often. Also, sorry re the writing. Good luck. Maybe Samuraiko can give you a "booster shot".

He's got more presence than W, IMO, and less baggage (from a national perspective, I mean. Florida residents might disagree). The dynasty thing might be the biggest strike against him. Clinton seems more unelectable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
