This was an interesting read. Senator Bayh would be a good choice for VP, though I'm not sure about lose two senators if they were to win in November. It will be interesting to see the reaction given how Governor Richardson was portrayed.

I read the article earlier today. He's not the first to have said just this very thing.

I think he's being way too polite, actually.

I think having Hillary Clinton might be getting more of the same, a recycling of the old. I am not very confident the rank-and-file will choose Obama. I personally think he seems to be more in touch with those of poverty. He seems more down-to-Earth in certain ways, and I am not interested in someone who claims that when she was in the Balkans her plane was being targeted when that is a blatant lie.

I think that most yanks would have a hard time understanding it. I grew up in Australia where people change political parties much more than what people in the states probably do. Most yanks seem to like to be affiliated to one party it seems.

I supported John Howard and the liberal party early in his prime ministership and then I changed to the labour party after Howard turned into an ass.

I thought that Clinton's policies were quite sound and that if she became the president, she would have surrounded herself by some pretty able people which is a huge plus. Also the fact that she isn't too much of a pushover with the Muslims. At the time she said it, I was saying "the only time you hear sniper fire is when you are either lucky enough that they miss and you hear the bullet wizz past or when you look over and see someone's head split into multiple parts and fly everywhere".

I like McCain because he is an old war horse that would like nothing better than to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran. I am going to try and get US citizenship a bit later on, and if I was a citizen already, I wouldn't vote for him because I think he will make the US economy drop a bit more due to the financial burden that another war will have on the already hurt US economy. On the other hand, I like the idea of him doing that and making sure that the extremists aren't able to do much in the next decade.

In short, I won't have to weather the problems after him getting in, so I am ok with him being the next president since Clinton proved to be a big fat liar.

People with more riding on it would surely have a different opinion. I want to see the world ridden of Muslim extremists. I prefer to pay less taxes and see the hard work done out of someone else's taxes. For America, it is the way it has and probably always will be.

I thought before that Hillary would have been good for everyone and more importantly, for that mess you fellas call a health system. After she proved herself to be full of crap, I would prefer ol' bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

Sorry if you don't like hearing that I prefer a person that isn't as good for the US as they are for me. The problem is that we all kind of have an interest in what happens in the US elections given the amount of benefits/changes that can happen. As long as your country is the lone super power, it's just the way it goes.

MilwaukieDave:

While I agree with much of what he said I also think it's a rehash.

One assessment I don't buy, however, is this:

Bobster, I had never thought about it that way. I guess it is kind of like the old robbing Peter to pay Paul scenario.

Also, I wasn't trying to provoke you. I seriously hope that's what McCain does. By bombing them, it puts them way back and the extremists aren't likely to become a threat with anything other than small arms for the next 20 years or so.

I have a lot of concerns for you fellas in the next few years Bobster. I am not at all optimistic about the direction that the US is going in. I hope that they weather the whole thing well, but I am not so sure short term. I think that we have probably had it too good in our lives and that this might be the reminder of what could be. And how reliant we have always been on the US.

Who are you hoping wins the next election anyway Bobster?

[spliff]

Could the reason for your switch the fact that she couldn't win? If that's the case you better join me in supporting McCain.
