| #9 Is there anything that you can do to help your own country reach the same conclusion, JFM? |

| #7 I am not American so I can only judge on external policies and the thing who matters to me is which candidate gives my daughters the best chances of remaining free and also of not being killed either by terrorists or by Ahmedinajad's nukes. |

| #6 Exactly, RD. Why would Republicans be happy ? They gave away their candidate slot to a non-right winger. Other than strong on military, we have little to no idea of what McCain will do. I think McCain is more centered on himself than on a political philosophy. Through the years, McCain has often voted with the liberals in the Senate. When his name is on legislation, we rather defeat or veto the bill. Loose canon seems to describe him best, and as such would he make a good president ? I think not. Here's a question for ya; Did McCain come up with McCain/Feingold to assure that he would always be reelected ? Would he also grant amnesty for the same reason ? |

| #4 With Clinton and Obama's baggage and negative numbers, I think McCain will do fine baring any meltdowns. As spot said, the race has only just started and there is a lot of ground to cover yet. But if the dhimocrats do fragment like I hope they will over the nomination, it should be a fairly easy victory. |

| #3 I know it, it is still far from November and in addition there is ever a "flock coming back to stable" effect. But we can still joke about Democrats doing still worst than in 1984 (one state plus Washington DC) |

| #2 Irrelevant at this point. The election is still a long way off. Keep yer powder dry. |
