LOL I'm not sure who all is still in the running!!!!!!!

Clinton

Obama

Huckabee

McCain

Romney

Who else? Is Ron Paul still in? Any others that I'm forgetting?

I think Ron Paul is still in. At least, I heard an ad for him yesterday. I honestly don't think the others have gotten enough exposure to have any real effect on an election, so I wouldn't even include them.

Now here's a question for everyone: Who do you think will pick up Edwards, Clinton or Obama? Or will neither of them?

Someone said something on the radio today that made sense. They said that anyone who is for Hillary is probably already there. Anyone who is not there already is probably not overly inclined to go there. So, Obama will probably get most of the Edwards vote. I think that makes sense. I just don't think there are that many "maybes" when it comes to Hillary.

Don't forget me! I'm seriously considering throwing my hat in the ring. It looks like so much fun to run for president!

Yeah, but do you think one of them will pick him up as their VP candidate if they get the nomination?

It's a good question, I'm not sure. The first time Edwards ran he did not win but he made a pretty good effort and appeared like a winner in terms of having made a good first effort.

This time around, he does not quite seem like a winner. His second effort was disappointing. Not to me, but in general. So, I'm not sure he would seem like an asset for VP.

For myself, personally, I support Edward's positions most of the time. I'm just thinking about how he might fit in to the VP picture.

Also an Edwards Fan, my guess is he'll support Obama - but doubtful he'd accept a VP job..Just my thoughts.

I was surprised that Edwards dropped out. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it may have a lot to do with his wife's health. Recurring cancer is pretty ominous. They were trying to be very upbeat and proactive about her being able to battle cancer this go 'roung, but frankly, I don't think it looks very good. They have small children and even if she is able to get a clean bill of health again, those kids need their parents right now.

Marjon I'd still vote for you.

I don't necessarily agree that most of Edwards' supporters will get behind Obama. Once Obama and Clinton get a debate going just between the two of them, the lines will be clearer.

Whoever it was that was complaining about Mitt's wealth, just remember that McCain's wife inherited big money.

As I said, none of the candidates are in the poor house, but McCain did not stand at the podium on national TV and make the claim that he was the only candidate that had ever worked a "real job". Romney opened that can of worms. :frown:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
