John Edwards and Rudy Giuliani

It’s a shame that John Edwards has dropped out of the race. With no mediator between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, we all will be forced to endure more bickering and negative ads. The very thing the Democrats prided themselves against in the beginning of the primary season.

Also with Giuliani out of the race, the era of 911 politics has come to an end, hopefully. I do not see John McCain or Mitt Romney being as bad as Rudy Giuliani, yet they still attempt to inject fear as a means of governing. Even with that being said, I believe Rudy Giuliani owes the debate watchers in the Republican party an apology for his use of 911 more then one hundred times through out the debates.

With the CNN’s Super Tuesday Republican Debate tonight, there should be more time to more evenly distribute the questions. Ron Paul may actually get more speaking time. For those of you that are in the dark, Mitt Romney was given four times the speaking time at the MSNBC time, as NBC attempted to marginalize Ron Paul's candidacy. We all knows the circumstances will not change or will CNN hold a debate with honor? I suspect they will be more honorable then MSNBC.

Make sure you watch it, on CNN at 8pm EST. Get informed or who you are voting for.

Florida and The Upcoming Debate

The test has come and Rudy Giuliani is sitting nervously, tapping his chair with his foot. Looking down at his desk, rolling his pencil back and forth, desperately avoiding the inevitable bell that will soon ring, can he make a showing? With hints that Mike Huckabee and Rudy Giuliani dropping out of the race, will the two candidates attend tomorrow’s CNN Super Tuesday debate? If they plan to drop out, I highly encourage that the two do not eat away at precious debate time from the remaining candidates.

Lets face it, Rudy Giuliani’s campaign is broke, his coffers depleted on the Florida primary. With his inevitable poor showing, the only option to be had, is that of dropping out of the race. Will he selfishly take up debate time?

Mike Huckabee, like Giuliani’s campaign, is also scraping bottom. With a surprise showing in Iowa, all the remaining states has barely helped him out. If he would’ve had a strong showing through fundraising, he would be able to continue to compete. Yet, he didn’t so will he continue further with the campaign?

Will we receive the news from the campaigns tonight, on whether they are staying in? Will the continue to waste debate time with lame jokes about Easter eggs and the phrase 911.

I guess we shall see. I am no pundit and am not an expert. This is all speculation.
