1. It means that someone on the ticket Has to have military experience.
Four-Star General Clark? Governor Webb?

Gotta happen.

2. Besides a lot of boring speeches?
I think the difference between his pro-war stance vs. anti-war stances will be huge. Maybe that's one reason why this admin might be changing strategeries. :shrug:
As for the economy, he'll have some time to educmicate himself. :crazy:

As for debates, I think he won't measure up to our candidates, but I'm biased.

12. It won't matter what he says or what his positions are...
The corporate media will ensure that he wins.

13. Not necessarily. I just heard Tweety (I know) wondering how he did
this given his braggadocio about a 100-year war. That won't and hasn't escaped attention.

that the GOP intend to have us there longer.

3. Means he's gonna get his ass kicked!
A non stop barrage of ads alternating between him licking on the chimp and singing "Bomb, bomb Iran" should do the job.

7. Or someone who brings in new voters
Hillary won't be drawing in massive numbers of young voters or independents, but she is clearly bringing in women who haven't voted before. This has to be her strategy if she's the nominee.

If I was McCain running against Hillary, you can bet the house that I'd have a woman VP on the ticket. If so, Hillary would be in real trouble. Come to think of it, this would be good against Obama too.

10. It means...
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 10:00 PM by Maximus Invictus
That the Democratic party will lose FL in the GE. Sorry guys but that´s what i think.

I believe that Giuliani will endorse John MCcain. Probably Giuliani wants to get the nomination for the VP.


Edwards is The Special One! Go Edwards!


From Europe with love...
