I got to say that Obama is going to be an interesting canidate.

He has made a statement that may indicate somethings that we should expect out of his administration; drastic change.

He also mentioned Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation, which correct me if I am wrong didn't Lincoln divided the nation and made us to accept the increase power of the federal governments role in our daily lives by force.

The guilt trip ticket! If you vote for the white male the Republicans put up, you are automatically a racist and sexist.

They better get Condoleeza to run if they want a chance to defeat those two.

yeah if i'm sure it won't be to much longer til people will say if your white and don't vote for obama you are a racist. which is no surprise. the same way someone can say they are proud to be black,brown,or asian and not be a racist,but if you are proud to be white you are a racist. it's a bunch of crap. i'm tired of people acting like we should be ashamed to be white.

Well alright!I see if I'm not around there is no decention in the ranks.You all rubber stamp each others ideas right down the line.No free thinkers allowed!!.Hey,Rudy and Newt,sounds like a couple of jock strap salesmen to me?!?Thats a howl,I have not heard that combo yet.Hey,Rudy favors Gay rights boys,better keep looking.
Anyway,I think you should make ARK the official spokeman for your little tribe here on EO,he is the man,and really gets to the heart of the matter.I mean he really gets it.

OK how does John McCain and Condi sound as a ticket.I believe Hillary and Obamma will be the Dem ticket and it will be a dog fight. I have to ask why in the hell anyone would want the job,no matter what you do 50% of the people are poed at you.

I also thing that there are 3 Senators from the Dem side campaiging,a Rep and Dem governor out there and I think when they are out campaiging the salary stops. We pay them Dem and Rep to do a job in Congress or a State House. If any of us plus about 99% of the people in the country didn't show up in order to seek a diferent and better paying position that comes with some serious perks, they would be fired from their present position.

Bush has mukked things up so bad for the Grand Old Party,that I think there is very little chance any Republican ticket will stand a chance.It's just not their time.I honestly think Bush and the boys blew it on too many fronts to recover.His insistance on sending more young people into harms way is really the swan song for the party,unfortunatly.The Demo's don't have to do much to be seen as the party of choice.Really,just letting the self destruction unveil,as it is on all the Sunday morning shows(except Fox)is worth getting up early for.Great theater.
I really don't care who the Demo ticket is,as the choice's will all be better then the last man standing routine,which is all the Republicans have left.The in fighting and lack of anything coming out of the last congress is all the American people can stomach from the group that can't shoot straight(or think straight).Unfortunatly,the whole baby is going down with the bath water.
You heard it here!

Any in federal elected office should have to resign to run for president. Their current job doesn't get done properly otherwise. I'm pretty sick of all of them. There isn't one I like, it's just a matter of degree of dislike.

tallcal,
as long as we can agree to disagree everything should be fine. as for me being a spokesman is really funny, because i think mre people disagree with what i say than disagree with you. although i don't disagree with everything you say i disagree with most. i'm sure when it comes to the war we probobly agree on more things than you think.

Tallcal,
I would agree that the Bush and the boys blew it but so did the dems. I mean that look at who they are promoting, there are others who would be better for all of us in their ranks but they are promoting Hillary and Obama?

Oh come on, I think that Obama will pander to a lot of different groups (his lincoln remarks were something else) and he needs to come into his own but won't unless he first gets rid of the hollywood crowd direction he is taking and then does something.

Hillary on the other hand does not care and will fight as dirty as possible to get the power she wants. For some reason many people think it was alright that she took on things that she wasn't elected to do and that Rudy's backing out gave her the chance she needed to the path to the ultimate power.

As for Rudy and Newt, I would say there is a chance but not a McCain and anything, this is where I and many others will vote for someone else. Rudy needs to get it in gear and Newt needs to remind people who he is, really who is he?

McCain needs to retire with the others.

The black caucus, rainbow crackheads and Reverend Jack won't support Obama over Hillary, simply cause they know where they sit at Hillary's table. Obama came out of nowhere, didn't ask for their blessing, and expects blacks to vote for him cause he's black. Sorry O-man... gotta kiss the heirarchy's butt first.

Oh yeah... we could adopt the Clinton war-fighting policy. We'll sit safely 20,000 feet in the air and pick the terrorists apart when we recognize one of them. Hell... maybe we should ask the Chinese if they've improved on the satellite technology we sold them. That would make it easier to identify any would-be Osamas. But then we'd just let them go anyways.

It is amazing how early all of this presidential election stuff is going on.
Some of the candidates I know very little about. But right now, I am not really sold on any of them.

Hillary and Obama? You have got to be kidding me. The scary part is that could be a reality. But, it is still a beatable ticket. I wonder if she will bring back all the White House furniture if she is elected?

I think your great Ark,and perhaps we do have some things in common.But I think you take yourself lightly,and much of what you say is I believe said in jest.You have a direct and original way of exprssing yourself that I really like.Most of the others of your persuation take themselves too seriously.I try to keep it light,not always succesfully.

Rich, you were kidding about McCain, right? Weren't you?

Gotta agree with our friend from the Left Coast on this one. It's gonna be a tough row to hoe for the GOP this time. But, how about Newt and Condi? Rudy as Veep would be O.K. too. I think a lot of us can live with the things he leans to the left on.

The election is a ways off. By then...the good ole dems will have had a chance to shoot themselves in the foot and we will be back to the reality that anybody the GOP puts up will be better than Hillary and Obama. And I do mean ANYBODY. LOL
