Excuse me? We have everything to do with the nominations...who do you
think does the legwork for their candidates? And contributes the money?
And goes door to door campaugning and posting signs in their yards and
stickers on their bumpers? If you say that we, the people, have nothing
to do with that , then this isn't the USA and we don'y have any rights
left to us at all. Shame, Thom.

Mundo,
I truly think you are wrongly applying the Peter Principal to John
McCain.

I knew John as a adolescent, when I served his Father as an orderly in
WW2. I wasn't much more than a Kid myself but his family is generations
of very successful men. They are a family dedicated to serving their
country, as leaders. Very successful leaders. Admiral McCain's Staff all
thought well of young John.

Being a Democrat and swearing never to vote for another republican after
I voted for Eisenhower, I would find it hard not to vote for John. He is
a very good man in his own right. He is loyal. He demonstrated his
belief in what's right by serving his interment as a prisoner of war
even through his Father was the last five Star Admiral of the fleet at
the time. They played by the Rules.

Mundo, I think I just convinced myself to vote for John if he runs.

I do not deny he is a good man.. just not presidential... I also think he is
the perfect example of the peter principle. The mcCain bus should stop where
it is.

Well said Thom,

Some people talk alot of ****.. Some people do.

Not one other candidate can say they have given as much to our country
and John has.

Rudy did OK in NYC and IMO would be Number 2.

It's going to be McCain vs Hillery.

Joe



I really believe that McCain will make a great elder statesman. He can do
more good in his present position than to be president.

Just because you're a war hero from a family of war heroes does not mean
you ahve the capacity to run this country...there are other things tha
must fall into line...and he falls short...he is an angry
person...angry+military does not umpress me at all...and it won't
go...women for the most part will not vote for him...

McCain's years locked in a cage as a POW damaged him in a way that cannot be
repaired. He's mentally unfit to be President.

Just because you would snap like a twig BB don't cast your weakness

Katy,

Just keep dreaming. In reality you get to vote for ONE ELECTOR in YOUR
STATE.
Didn't Bush getting elected teach you anything about Presidential
election? The popular Vote means NOTHING!!

Our government is a REPUBLIC!! It isn't a Democracy as you apparently
believe. A REPUBLIC! Learn about your government. It was formed as a
REPUBLIC which is different than a Democracy.

It is a democratic Republic but a REPUBLIC it is! You should learn the
difference.

Excuse me...we were talking about choosing cadidates, not the actual
electoral process..
and I am well aware that we are a republic and not a democracy and how
the electoral process works...you are diverting from the original
discussion of choosing cadidates to run...and BTW, your voting for an
electoral vote IS voting for an individual....so get back on
topic..which is choosing candidates to run...and don't take that tone
with me...

Mit Romney has a great name, but is very, very cozy with the religious
right (I mean who else do they have?).

The bulk of this country. The so-called religious right is actually a
very small extremist percentage of the overall conservative base. They
are the right-wing equivalent of the far left-wing, ala Michael Moore,
Barbara Streisand, George Clooney, Al Franken, Ward Churchill et. al, ad
nauseum.

In the same way that the Democrat candidate won't do anything to alienate
the far left-wing wackos, the GOP candidate won't alienate the religious
right-wing. Both candidates may actually pander to the extremes a
little, but each candidate's core message had better be to the center of
the country or he's/she's toast on a stick.

In other words, Jon, you won't like even your Democrat candidate, because
you're a far-leftist and he/she isn't about to speak *only* to you and
your ilk. Look what doing that did for John Kerry. You might be wise to
get into Ralph Nader's camp. Now there is a genuine left-wing wacko,
like yourself.

And I mean that in only the nicest possible way.

I'm sure you do. g ------

Unfortunately, the RR have a lot more power than their numbers due to some
really amazing marketing from the likes of Karl (Actung) Rove and people
like him.

I'm having trouble finding any of the candidates who are actually
pandering to the exteme left...

Edwards. Did you miss the flap over a couple of his campaign workers?
Apparently they were posting some highly anti-religious, anti-Catholic
rhetoric on a far left blog. When it was brought to Edward's attention, he
commented that he'd talk to them but wasn't going to ask them to cease and
desist. When the feces hit the fan over the bloggers, they both resigned
about 24 hours later. My impression is that Edwards was relying on his
workers to quietly fan the flames of left-wing sentiment on the Internet
while he preached a more moderate Democrat spiel in front of the cameras.
But he got caught.

And, just so we're clear, I'm not a left-wing wacko. I'm just a liberal on
social policies and far more conservative than Bush on economic policies.

When you decide what Bush's economic policies are, please let me know.
