The other baggage Hillary will carry are the mysterious deaths of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, and others who were all coincidentally killed by a gunshot to the head. Those dead folks were, in some way, connected to the Clinton scandals right from a Little Rock to D.C.

all what you just outlined here are Washington dc talking points that nobody apart from political junkies know. To the average America, hillary is an experienced politician and states woman they have known for over 20 years, stop using political talking points to measure political success, fails everytime. Failed the republicans after impeaching bill thinking the American people were behind then, ended up loosing massively at the mid terms, the pundits said hillary will never win her senatorial campaign in new York because all the so called scandals including white water, what happened in 2000?

So, in other words, Scott Walker will be the likely nominee. If Kentucky amends it's law to allow individuals to run for more than one office, I see Rand Paul clinching the nomination.

Scott walker is the likely nominee, he is the only candidate so far with the ability to bring the establishment wing and tea party wing together, rand Paul will never get support from the hawkish neo conservative wing of the party for his liberatanism and even evangelicals distrust him for his views on gay marriage, etc.. Scott walker holds all the cards at this point, plus he is a Washington outsider still he will be beaten by a hillary Clinton.

Bill Clinton is damaged goods and cowboy. All he managed to do was create an economic bubble and sell the people a dream with his charming deceit. Don't forget he created the housing bubble of the 90s that crashed during the recession and most people haven't forgiven him for that.

Then you have the disaster in Somalia etc.. A large percentage of US electorates with never forgive playboy Bill Clinton. Maybe Hilary might get most of the black votes cos most among the black population can relate to the Clinton family and they are mostly democrats.

forgive what? Bill Clinton is the most popular and respected living former u.s president, respected by Democrats and republicans alike, in 2012, he got people to the poll for obama through his rousing campaigns and electric speech at the DNC. Republicans for years have tried to somehow trace the disastrous bush economy to Clinton, heck they even tried tracing 9/11 to him but the American people are not buying it one bit, and the polls says it all, face it, the only problem the Clinton will face will be in a primaries where voters have moved further to the left and are distrustful of the Clinton and their centrist DLC kind of leadership, an obama type left wing candidate like elizabeth warren might embarrass them, but save that. In a general election, they will trounce anyone republicans bring forward, that's why the republican party is scared and digging up whatever dirt they can on her.

CFCfan:

There's no bigger 419 than that

But I'm concerned that these campaigns are getting more expensive every cycle. Imagine Clinton would raise over $1bn for a job that pays a 'paltry' $400,000 annually

indeed! The money is politics is concerning but that shows how high stakes things are now, real presidential candidates are not fighting for power for the fun of it but to leave their mark on America and drive it in their ideological direction, and more than ever with citizens united, there is an endless stream of billionaires to fund them both directly and overtly through superpacks.

SirShymexx:


Shut ya gob, big head lol.

Apart from Rand Paul, on paper, is there anyone better than him? Anyway, I wrote the script for both DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODLicans - two sides to the same coin, and it is Jeb Bush's presidency to lose. No one can stop the Bush dynasty. Not even Hilary Clinton the noisemaker lol.

Don't lose a limb in Guam...heard US just tested the 3min man ICBM in Cali. The shooting in the nearest future is going to be epic. Be ready cos Jeb Bush loves a good shooting match.

job bush will not make it through the primaries no matter how much money the establishment showers on him, one, the country is still reeling from his brothers disastrous presidency, the party hates his centrist and sometimes left leaning views on immigration, common core,etc, there is a reason his brother has'nt been invited to any party convention since he left office, the bush name us now damaged good.

And your comparison with the Clinton is laughable! The 90's under bill Clinton was the most prosperous period in u.s history, despite Monica lewisky, bill Clinton left office with an over 60% approval, all they need to do is to cast the election as a return to the good old 90's or a return to a presidency that ended with two failed wars and the biggest economic meltdown since the great depression. You don't need a prophet to tell you who'll win.

CFCfan:

Right on the money! And by virtue of being an official presidential candidate, he would likely command 6-figure speaking fees.

of course! Herman cain after running a circus if a campaign sold thousands of books, earned millions in speaking fees and now has his own right wing radio talk show. It does'nt get better than that!

Ted cruz is a joke and will be a good source of commit relief in the 2016 primaries, he us going no where and he knows it, he just just setting up himself to be picked as running mate by the eventual nominee who will need the crazy evangelical and tea part vote, finally cruz has a very confusing and conflicting ancestry plus he was born in Canada, I hate he will also he asked to produce his birth certificate and also be subjected to all the ridicule matted out against obama about his ancestry but I guess not, cruz is white!!

mrkel:


Did I hear you say people like Lee Meaba is the one controlling Andoni LGA? For clarity sake, Lee Meaba doesn't hail from Andoni but from the Ogoni axis of Rivers state. Please do not equate Tele Ikuru as a lighter weight with no capacity to pull strings in his LGA. Holding such assumption will amount to committing a political blunder. Tele definitely has his own supporters who will defect with him to the PDP. Don't also forget that by virtue of his position he was automatically the leader of APC in Andoni LGA.

if you don't even know where lee meaba is from, there is no need continuing this discussion.

chipet67:
dey here dey talk rubbish. Why did it shock Amaechi if Ikoru is irrelevant ?

because the man has been loyal all thus while considering the fact that it was an act of benevolence for ameachi to pick a political lightweight like him to be his deputy, if is stupid for ameachi to be shocked, he should have expected it....no matter how dull a person is, a struggle for survival and relevance is still prevalent in them and that is what Mr. Ikuru just did.

sexyjob:

Arrant nonsense!, you know nothing about politics. He is from a place, his ward, LGA and senatorial district would go to PDP with him.

tele ikuru has no clout or followership in andoni local government area, he was virtually unknown till he was picked as deputy governor, people like meaba lee control andoni politics not inconsequential tele.

EcoTerror:
A deputy governor is not inconsequential bro, APC is like a prostitute being fondled in the public.

a deputy governor is not inconsequential? Of what consequences has namadi samba been in nigeria for six years? Not to talk of the deputy governor of a state, face it, PDP us grasping at straws.

I think it just shows massive desperation on the part of PDP that they are celebrating with so much vigour the defection of the most inconsequential politician in rivers state. I even doubt if 70% of rivers people know who the deputy governor is. Can anyone tell me actually when he brings go the gable except trying to save his own skin in the event of a wike government.

I think it just shows major desperation for good news by PDP for them to celebrate with such vigour at the defection of the most inconsequential politician in the history of rivers state, tele ikuru. The man knows he has no future in APC and knowing wike will probably win, he is just looking to remain relevant in rivers state. Simple!!

Lies!! This was not on the house floor! This was at the house of Representatives committee room when ameachi and other anti PDP governors came to visit the house. Some bayelsa lawmakers came forward to attack,Ameachi physically calling him a traitor and dakuku intervened to protect him and the other APC governors.

I remember Nigerian parents doing this very much when I wrote some of my major exams including jamb, when I wrote Nigerian navy secondary school exam, there were patents trying to smuggle in expo and they received good flogging from the navy officer but we're still undaunted...it was sad to watch..

PATNA, India — About 600 high school students in eastern India have been expelled for cheating on pressure-packed 10th grade examinations this week, education authorities said Friday.

The incident has received widespread attention after Indian television footage showed parents and friends of students scaling the outer walls of school buildings to pass cheat sheets to students inside taking exams.

More than 1.4 million 10th graders are taking the tests at more than 1,200 high schools across the state. They face tremendous pressure because they must pass the exams to continue their education.

Teachers and state education department officials supervising the examination caught hundreds of students who had smuggled in text books or scraps of paper for cheating.

“It’s virtually impossible to conduct fair examinations without the cooperation of parents,” said P.K. Shahi, Bihar’s education minister. He said it was not possible to monitor the 6 million parents and others who accompany the students to the examination centers.

State authorities posted police at all schools where examinations were being held, “but we can’t use force to drive away the parents,” he said.

Nearly two dozen parents were detained after they were caught helping their children, but were released after several hours.

On Friday, the high court in the state capital, Patna, ordered the Bihar police chief to ensure that examinations are conducted in a fair manner.

State education authorities have canceled examinations held at four centers after they received reports of large-scale cheating.

Bihar School Examination Board Secretary Sriniwas Tiwari said students caught cheating could be barred from taking the exam for up to three years, ordered to pay a fine or even sent to jail.

Cheating seems to be particularly widespread in Bihar, although there have been no reports of anyone being sent to jail for the offense.

Seriously, this is a deeper life wedding...that's how the brides dress.

Obama has done his best for America. But the idiotic nation is hooked to the war monger nentanyahu, so once obama is gone, war with Iran will begin and i'm sure China will be more than happy to loan the u.s more money for wars in the middle east, and with a debt of 17 trillion and rising, the world will be rid of the anachronism that is the United States of America for good. Their hubris will be their undoing but history will acknowledge obama as the one who tried to tight this ship.

pendy79:
The start of the pogrom and military incursion into our polity.

Wished the igbo soldiers never toiled the path they did.

and leave nigeria as a one party state in pepetuality? It is a very lazy view of history to blame the igbo coups for nigeria's problem. Blame greedy founding fathers like bello who with the British rigged one ethnic party into pepetuality government in a multi ethnic nation.

Some people on this forum are just plain stuupid and disrespectful even in the face of the death of someone! All over the world police outriders are involved in accidents and sadly loose their lives, 2 have died on the motorcades of obama and Biden, who accused them of anything? But in nigeria, something as tragic as death is an opportunity for animals in human fleash to grind their political axe. Shame on you, and the story of your death will suffer a similar fate.

Hmmm...Kenneth kobani, this obesity patient is really a politician o! there is no dispensation he does not chop, after looting rivers state for years as commissioner of finance, deputy governorship candidate under ACN, now minister for state, trade and industry. So sad, putting that tout to work with an enlightened gentleman like olusegun aganga.

What a disgrace! And APC brandishes fashola as one of it's enlightened ones. If what I see here is a smart APC member, I fear what the foolish ones will do.

Anybody who ask what course i'm studying in school, they laughter afterwards and say as huge and manly as you are why did'nt you do engineering, where you wan find work after school? Only if they knew that the highest unemployment rate among Nigerian graduates are engineers.

After all the muscles...one bullet will do the trick. bodyguard indeed.

Amazing! My life's dream has always been to after graduation get a very good job that pays millions so during holidays or leaves i'll just travel the world and live a life I will remember when i'm old and unable to walk.

It is very expensive! I am paying 20,000 Naira per month and classes only hold three times a week...and these are foreign languages, how long am I to go on like this? I don't care though but is it worth it?

eagleeyez:



What of the power countries comments on jon? Is it free masonry and I guessbuhari is a member right?
Are you for real? With all that is happening, u dare to claim islamic copuntries are backing buhari?
This is exactly what jon is trying to do as he knows he is a dead man walking. He is using the cheapest card which is religious division amongst nigerians

no need to dispute it, it's a fact! Since jonathan instructed prof. Joy our representative at the UN security council to vote no on Palestinian statehood, the Muslim world declares war on him, even hard line Muslim groups in our own country rose against him, so what are we saying?

Hello guys!! Since I entered the university I have been really scared of what comes after, people think i'm crazy, when others were celebrating university admission, I was pondering employment after school due to the massive unemployment, so I came up with the idea if building myself outside the course i'm doing in school, I have spent a lot of money attending computing lectures and seminars on modern computer tools, now I am actively studying languages I have started with French and hope to learn at least 5 before I graduate from school, but it is very expensive and stressful, I have told it will drain my wallet and even distract me from my course in school but I belive the benefits will outweigh the sacrifices....despite my belief I still want to be sure so I don't waste significant resources and time of my life that I don't have. will the ability to speak multiple languages endear me to employers?

simpleseyi:



unfortunately, Goatluck Jonascam is the only Nigerian living or dead head of state that has attended the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) meeting to represent you and I. Muhammad Buhari whom you all call an Islamist never attended OIC meeting.

I refer you to my earlier address on your argument which can be seen if you scroll up.

Speaks to how low a bar the APC has set for it's presidential candidate that the first reason to vote for him is because the other guy is "bad"...that's why this election noise has been a whole barrage of nothing...buhari and jonathan are two sides of a coin, my only pity is for their brainless supporters whose lives will remain the same yet the next election circle, they'll crawl out of the holes, dust themselves and start another round of noise.
