It appears that the
field is rapidly narrowing
for choice of Republican
and Democratic candidates.

I predict that John McCain
and Barack Obama will be
selected as the Presidential
nominees for the Republican
and Democratic parties.

What do you think?


I'd be happy either way with Mccain or Obama;^]

Mac60..... copied/pasted part of your post,

"he Clintons are master politicians- never to be counted out."

================================================================================================================================I think you are wrong Mac. The Clintons played the race card and that is a no no in the Democratic party. Did you see the news clip where Al Sharpton said, "Bill Clinton should know when to shut up ....."

Again to repeat myself, Hillary was given the shaft big time twice where two major party members endorsed Obama.

Also Hillary is too polarizing.

Hope you are right, Leah. But either way I will NOT vote for a Republican come November. Every one of them had a chance to stand up to Bush and tell him he was wrong(and maybe even criminal) on a whole slew of issues. But they all kept quiet, with few exceptions. McCain even caved on the torture issue, signing on with some watered down language rather than a blanket "WE DON"T TORTURE". Very strange coming from someone who experiened torture first hand.

Teddy Roosevelt played this game also when he was ellected but did the right thing upon taking office. I'm hoping Mccain would do the same;^]

I agree! I think we should use a different approach in getting information from high level war prisoners in order to save lives. We need to be like the rest of the world and, say, offer them jelly filled doughnuts and coffee with the morning paper of their choice in bed if they so desire. Kill them with kindness.Kumby friggin ya. laugh

Sometimes I just cannot believe the things that people say here. Well listen up, Mr Zap.

Torture is the refuge of the lazy, the stupid, and the pseudo-tough. Why would a tortured man tell you the truth? He will say anything to stop the pain.

And wouldn't you enjoy being a captured American soldier in the hands of an enemy who knows his comrades have been tortured by Americans. I'm sure you would enjoy having your fingernais pulled out one by one; or whatever else they could come up with to get back at Americans.

Mr. Zap, you are inhumane and your arguments are poorly reasoned.
