    Obama - Letterman
    Obama - Leno

    Now that makes sense.

    ^actually that's a bloody good point. If BO got the nomination, it would not totally surprise me if he went with a liberal Republican as VP. He wrote in one of his books that he wished more people would see across party lines...

    ...hmm, that would be interesting

    All joking aside, I think he would really shake things up, and yeah, probably appoint a republican VP.

    Could be the best thing that ever happened to the country...unless some radical christians knock him off first. Hope not.

    don't count on it. if he doesn't pick edwards (and i hope he does) he'll choose someone moderate from the mid-west....but most certainly a democrat. think along of the lines of evan bayh from indiana....he's a clinton supporter, but that's the mold he'll choose.

    It seems you're keen on Edwards, Ray. I've never liked him too much.

    I don't think the (D) Nominee will choose him.

    But yeah, a carefully chosen VP will need to be chosen, because of the large pool of Independents voters that are at the Center, and cross party lines.

    Now, Boon.

    What part of Das Kapital, and a Critique of Capitalism applies to any American politician.

    No offense, but you remind me a little of Storekeeper.

    ^ Running out of material, Boon?

    Reagan won with about 44-46% of the vote.

    Not a landslide, but I'm glad he beat that buffoon, Mondale.

    Try to add constructively.

    and BTW, Mondale only won his home state because a bunch of dead people mysteriously voted for him.

    That's been the rap on the Democratic party for a long time - they just can't field a decent candidate.

    Looks like that might have changed.

    It seems to me the Dems have forgotten how to play hardball when running for Pres. They all seem to want to be the "nice guy" and refrain from really going for the throat of their opponents. A perfect example was GWBs win against Kerry. Had the Dems gone directly for his throat and exposed him and his administration's wrong doings, they would have won in a landslide. Instead they chose to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Things can change quickly. Less than a year before the election, G.H. Bush had an approval rating of 80%.

    Well, to give you an example of how shattered the Republican Party has become, "I'll campaign for Hillary if McCain is the nominee" says Miss Ann...

    Obama might not be a Marxist in the strict sense of the term but he is the most Liberal in the Senate...& that's not a good thing...

    "Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the most liberal senator in 2007, according to National Journal's 27th annual vote ratings. The insurgent presidential candidate shifted further to the left last year in the run-up to the primaries, after ranking as the 16th- and 10th-most-liberal during his first two years in the Senate."

    With another election fraud in the making, it would still have been impossible to accomplish,

    Kerry won, they stole Ohio like they did with Florida

    I think this way too.

    Diebold corporation voting machines with no paper trail and a Supreme Court, and voter suppression.


    Gotta love "Amerikan Democracy."

    Yup, that's exactly what I'm telling you. It's a relative moral judgment, nothing more. Those that you deem evil call you evil in return.

    But the truth of the matter is there's shades of grey in between.

    Well if you say so. But please eludicate to me Booners, how do you define the 'good' side and the 'evil' side in a war? WW2 for instance, who was 'good' and who was 'evil'.

    'Relative moral judgment' eh? Unbelievable...

    You really are lost in the fever swamps of moral relativism if you sincerely believe everything is a shade of gray. Hitler was evil/Mother Teresa was good.

    In the case of WW2, it's obvious the Allies were good & Germany was the 'evil' instigator of the whole fracas.

    Perhaps you should go back to school and take a Civics course, ant...
