    Looks like he filled up the Kohl Center.

    I think those old establishment strangleholds will be just about all Hillary will get in Wisconsin. That, and the remnants of her housewife vote. Barack has the usual progressive fever on his side, Jimbo Doyle's endorsement/'machine', the schools. I'm not sure it'll be a blowout or anything, but Hillary doesn't really have a chance. She is trying here, though.

    I'm pretty sure Obama will win here in Wisconsin.

    "In Virginia Exits, Obama wins Latin Vote by Double Digits -- 55-45," so says Drudge. Hillary's Texas strategy could prove to be Giuliani-esque.

    No. He's not taking the libertarian stand on drugs like Ron Paul (who is not a serious contender to the GOP nomination, unfortunately) is. He's spoken of decriminalizing marijuana and crack/cocaine sentencing only. I would also suggest that Obama is the only serious candidate who would allow doctors and scientists to research medicinal uses for MDMA, etc. And, yes Marvin, the only way to win the Drug War is to spend even more money. Whatthefuckever. I hate Hannity/Beck Conservatism.

    Those are reasons why so many ill-informed people continue to agree with the current drug policies. For our leadership, the reasons are the power/money of the alcohol/tobacco/pharmaceutical lobbies & a marked inabillity to admit they and their predecessors were wrong. Marvin, how are you still strugling to read? There was never a case of anybody here thinking that anything would be legalized. I mentioned, accurately, that Obama is the ONLY serious candidate who would take steps towards a sensible drug policy (not legalization, as was mentioned, IN PLAIN ENGLISH). Do all of Glen Beck's viewers/listeners exhibit a third-grade education?

    The "gateway drugs" thing makes sense if you get really, really high.

    I saw them on the Bonnaroo lineup but I don't know anything about them. I hope that helped!

    Decriminalizing marijuana is not the only gesture that Obama has made towards the formulation of a new-found sensible drug policy. He has also made it quite clear (in plain English, as it were) that he would also stop the practice of charging greater sentences to those who smoke crack vs. those who snort cocaine. Both moves are sensible. Both, marijuana decriminilization especially, will greatly reduce federal spending. Obama is also the only candidate interested in ending the practice of a marijuana conviction eliminating a student from consideration for college financial aid (a rapist can still live in a dormitory full of 18 year old girls, though). Just those two steps alone would free up several billion dollars. You dont need to legalize marijuana to stop the tax-dollar bleeding, decriminalization will no longer necessitate multi-million dollar expenses in every city, state, and county in the United States. Reduce the Drug War expenditures greatly & stop the Iraq War as soon as possible = enough money for working-class tax cuts and/or universal health care without any tax raises. Continuing the Drug and Iraq Wars (as McCain and Hillary will do) will not result in any less taxation.

    'Liberal Democrat' means jackshit to taxes now. They are no longer the party in favor of the biggest govt and there is absolutely no indication of that ever changing. You said it yourself in this thread, Czech, the GOP does no more than talk a good small govt game. Obama is the only candidate with a real chance who is in favor of cutting the huges expenses of the Drug & Iraq Wars; that's a multi-billion dollar cut right there. Obama won all four of today's Democratic contests, by wide margins. He still trails Hillary due to the Democratic establishment 'superdelegates', though. And if there's any bloc that knows their ass from a hole in the ground, it's the Democratic establishment!

    Be skeptical all you want. That's good. But you might want to consider looking at Obama beyond the wave-of-momentum thing. For me, his desire to change our drug policy to one that makes sense & anti-Iraq War stance make him the only serious contender who might actually lower taxes.

    Hillary proves her worth as a candidate every time she defends the Iraq War.
