    They are a very important part, maybe not the majority. Elections have been running in close proximity of 50/50 since 2000 Dale.
    Not my point.

    I am not surprised. But what you are trying to say is that NYC is important, but not the residents who operate it, which I think is absurd. Just as your penis may be just one small factor, but overall it serves other important purposes, in which you can not just ignore it.

    The point is that NYC is a prime terrorist target both as a symbol and a real physically important place. Its 10 million people, however, are NOT representative of the majority opinions or lifestyles of 300 million Americans.

    That's it.

    The middle of what? The democratic party? As Dale pionted out, Hillery is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too far to the left for middle America. If she is aiming for the moderates she will have to dump most of her platform. "Out of touch" with moderates would be closer to the truth. however she is in good company as the majority of polititions are in the same boat as her in reguards to the moderates.

    Flashback: Alleged Fraudster Was Wheeled Out To Defend Hillary Camp After Discovery Of Different Fraudster
    Justin Elliott | September 22, 2009, 12:36PM

    Remember the strange case of Norman Hsu that roiled the Hillary Clinton campaign during the Democratic primary back in 2007?

    Hsu was a top bundler for the campaign who was found to have hidden his past as a crook and Hillary was forced to return over $800,000 in donations. He later plead guilty to a Ponzi scheme and was convicted on campaign finance charges.

    Hsu, who currently resides in federal prison, reimbursed so-called "straw donors" drawn from his fraudulent business to get around contribution limits.

    At the time of the crisis, Hassan Nemazee, indicted yesterday in his own alleged Ponzi scheme -- considerably larger than Hsu's $20 million operation -- was a national finance chair for the Hillary campaign.

    And guess who the campaign dispatched to talk to reporters to tamp down the Hsu story? One Hassan Nemazee.

    Here he is in the New York Times in September 2007 preemptively accusing the other Dem campaigns of hypocrisy:

    In defense, Clinton advisers note that her top Democratic rivals, Senator Barack Obama and John Edwards, have their own fund-raising problems that will prevent them from attacking her over Mr. Hsu.
    ...

    "The Clinton campaign has done as much if not more than any campaign to protect itself from situations such as this, and none of the other campaigns, other than hypocritically, can point a finger at the Clinton campaign on fund-raising problems," said Hassan Nemazee, who is a fund-raising bundler for Mrs. Clinton, as Mr. Hsu had been.

    A shocked -- simply shocked -- Nemazee told the Washington Post of Hsu that same month: "I think a lot of us are scratching our heads."

    Here he is in November describing Hsu's MO to the Wall Street Journal. And another Post piece quotes Nemazee making an observation about Hsu that may also be true of Nemazee himself: "Never once, that I ever came across, did he seem to have a particular policy or issue agenda. The only thing he ever seemed to want was to get his photo taken."
    Democrat politics: hey, let's get DIRTY!

    Nope.

    It lives on.

    And the follow-up post had purpose. I've been pointing out for awhile now that every single thing the Democrats do is essentially a criminal act to take power. This is relevant to the theme.

    Not necro-posting at all.
