Say what you will about the snooze but everyone who knows McCain is the strongest candidate and I would be very surprised if he did not win. I have not been proven wrong yet regarding candidates being victorious over the years and do not expect that McCain will lose. There is no way that Hilary will win. This is due to many reasons. 1. There are too many people who do not feel comfortable with the idea of a female president. (I personally could care less if it is male or female). 2. She is not remotely qualified. How long has she been a senator? Please. And what has she done? Nada Mucho. 3. She is scum. WHitewater...Her futures scandal...Her alledged jewish heritage... Need I say more. Don't get me wrong... it is the democrats turn to win but there are no candidates strong enough to beat McCain. Obama by virtue of the racism in this country will hurt him. His religion and race will harm his candidacy. Also he is very very green. I would consider voting for him but he needs more experience and not just ride a popularity parade. Bottom line I will be quite surprised if McCain does not win.</em> OK.

Ronald Reagan used to fall asleep at cabinet meetings, and nobody cared much at all. OTOH, since 2000 he has gone from Teddy Roosevelt reincarnated to just another GOP 'bot. In 2000, I could have voted for him. Today? No frickin' way. I might change my affiliation back to GOP so I can vote for him in the primary, just to watch him get creamed. What is it about the Republican Party that turns reasonably decent people into these fascist creeps their own mothers wouldn't recognize? Do they really serve spiked Kool-Aid at meetings over there? I saw McCain on Meet The Press last Sunday, and I swear he must have been on some kind of medication or something. Do we really want this guy in the Oval Office? Who will be pulling his strings?
