Common Unreflected Drinking Only Smartens
It's interesting.
1)No one is really talking about GOP candidates. Is it because of a lack of name recognition?
2)Have they screwed themselves so far up on the neo-con/christian post that they can't fall down?
3)Or is it because Republican=corrupt
Bush was the worst thing to happen to the GOP.
Now back to the stab of the the thread.
Hillary Clinton has money and political advisors, on the flip, she looks like the devil, and doesn't seem to be very intelligent (Hillaryhealth). She is probably smart, as smart as any white Senator could be.
Barack Obama has the charisma and standing to draw moderate Republicans (like me) to his standard while still appealing to Democratic bases. His draw back is his inexperiance, which is going to be inflated into another Earth.
What I want to see is if there is any similarity to Abe Lincoln-Barack Obama. Not really in the realm of upraising, but in terms of senator-president.
I want to see debates between Hillary and Obama, see if I can spot the horns.

Have you just been dumped?
I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
I dont like any of them. I think if a strong 3rd party canadite could come along he may have a shot this election

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Did anyone see that film "Bulworth" where a Senator plans his own assassination, then goes out and tells the truth?
He was a Republican, the other Republicans had him shot in the end.
As a satire of American politics it covered everything from the Jewish lobby to free healthcare.

Actually, the Bulworth character was a Democrat (link to synopsis) .
Interestingly, that film, distributed and financed by Fox, would never have been made, except that W. Beatty (director, writer & star) had financing for it (then, an unspecified project) a condition in his contract for making the disappointing Dick Tracy movie, a couple years earlier.

Had you shown me Blair's latest speach ten years ago I wouldn't have believed that was Labour.

H'ain't it the truth, mate.

Obama is a Liberal Democrat with no Foreign Policy experience. He has little to no chance drawing moderate Republican votes. McCain has plenty of Foreign Policy experience to go along with his war hero status and will attract more conservative Democrat votes.
Kukri, can you even name a third party presidential candidate? Neither can I.
How about Pat Paulson?![]()
The Dems might be better off nominating Wesley Clark to take on McCain.
However, the problem with party politics is that there's too much concern for the party's perceived needs than for the electorate, and the best candidate for the people sometimes doesn't get the nomination.
