Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that Hillary is not the only democratic choice and these figures will definitely go up and down over the next year.

My only wish is that people would not vote along political lines. Maybe that's wrong and I don't want to debate it with anyone. I'm registered as a Republican, but I ALWAYS vote for who I think is the best choice for our country.

I'm glad you feel this way Janet. I think it's the best attitude to have.

Janet - I totally agree with you, but I do think our choices will be Rudy and Hillary. (Sorry Angie - I know you're hoping for Barak)
I might be wrong, it has certainly happened before, in which case, like you, I will not vote for party affiliation. Judy |

He does have charisma, but he's so unknown as YET. He's also quite good looking!
(Just a thought I have whenever I see him). Judy |

Did you guys see this news about Giuliani not knowing the price milk and bread? I think it's scary that a candidate could be so out of touch with "normal American life" not to even know these prices.
Not that I'm against Rudy as a candidate.....I haven't even begun to make any decisions on that stuff yet! I think it's too early to tell. But this does worry me! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070410/...ni_groceries_1 Giuliani off the mark on grocery costs By PHILLIP RAWLS, Associated Press Writer Tue Apr 10, 6:15 PM ET MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani hasn't done a lot of grocery shopping lately ? at least based on his answers about the cost of milk and bread. Campaigning in Alabama on Tuesday, the former New York City mayor portrayed himself as a fiscal conservative and an aggressive fighter of terrorism who has a lot in common with the Deep South state. But when asked about more mundane matters ? like the price of some basic staples ? Giuliani had trouble with a reporter's question. "A gallon of milk is probably about a $1.50, a loaf of bread about a $1.25, $1.30," he said. A check of the Web site for D'Agostino supermarket on Manhattan's Upper East Side showed a gallon of milk priced at $4.19 and a loaf of white bread at $2.99 to $3.39. In Montgomery, Ala., a gallon of milk goes for about $3.39 and bread is about $2. Giuliani was closer to the mark on the price of a gallon of gasoline. "Gas, I think, is $2.89," he said His difficulty with grocery items recalled another Republican's supermarket run-in. In 1992, President George H.W. Bush expressed amazement at a high-tech supermarket scanner, prompting critics to argue that he was out of touch with average Americans. The White House cried foul, pointing out that during a grocers' convention Bush had been impressed by a special scanner that could read torn labels. Giuliani attended $1,000-per-person campaign fundraisers in Mobile and Montgomery before addressing a joint session of the Alabama Legislature that drew an overflow crowd. Recalling that he worked in the Justice Department in President Reagan's administration, Giuliani said that like Reagan, he will not change course with the political winds. "I'll set a course and stick with it. I'll be on offense on terrorism. I'll be a fiscal conservative. I'll lower taxes. I'll seek private market solutions to most problems," he told the Legislature. The former mayor said he talked to radio host Don Imus, who has been suspended for two weeks for derogatory remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Giuliani said he considers Imus' apology sincere. "I would appear on his program again, sure. I take him at his word," Giuliani said. Asked about the flying of the Confederate flag in some Southern states, Giuliani said, "That's a good thing to be left on a state-by-state basis." Giuliani said he did not recall seeing a Confederate flag during his day in Alabama ? even though there was a display of four Confederate flags flying beside the Capitol. The former mayor never mentioned his position on gay rights and abortion that separate him from traditional Republican voters in the state, but he said he would always be straight with voters. "I will tell you what I believe. If you agree with it, fine. If you don't agree with it, you have a right not to agree with it. If you don't agree, you have a right not to vote for me," he said.

I can't criticize the guy for not knowing the price of milk or bread. I do most of our grocery shopping, and I could not have told you. They are things that we need, so I just go for 1% milk (preferrably organic) and white whole wheat bread and pay whatever it costs. Why bother looking, we have no control over the price. Now, other things where I have more choice, like meats and seafood, I look at the prices!!!
My big thing is where they have historically stood on key issues that are important for our nation. And I so hope you are wrong, Judy Quote:
