    while I'd love to see Kucinich, Gravel, Paul, or even Obama in office...
    I'm afraid that there's a good chance it may be McCain or Clinton. If so, we're screwed.

    The only way Clinton would win at this point, is if she dug up a clip of Obama saying how much 'I love white bitches.'

    Or something similar. Clinton's not going to get the nomination. The votes aren't behind her. It would take a major scandal.

    McCain has a chance. But not that great of one. He's going to have to try to get away from Bush somehow. Richard Nixon was significantly more popular during Watergate then Bush is now.

    McCain's policies are close to Bush's and everyones aware of it. I mean, I already can see the cognitive dissidence that will allow people who aren't fond of George Bush's policies sticking behind McCain.

    But right now, the momentum is in Obamas favor. And no amount of aversion to a black president, and it's there, is going to beat momentum.

    McCain has an uphill battle to climb, and I hope he can't do it. It'll be close. I think 2000 close.

    Should the Democrats win we will have a Troika of Obama, Hillary and Bill.

    The two Democratic candidates are just too close, almost tied and some kind of accomodation is in order. The Clintons know how to work these things.

    Hillary doesn not have to be Vice President. The VP authority is proscribed by The President. Obama would hold the lever. I can see Hillary negotiationg for the Attorney General spot where she will wield independent power in a private fiefdom.

    The Clintons will want to nominate thier own choice for VP. A nutural person between the two factions. Perhaps Senator Dianne Fienstien who could hold down Californa and The Jews and act as a go-between between Obama and The Clintons.

    The big question that our media is not covering is what will Bill want?

    The safest bet for Obama would be to ship Clint overseas as Ambassador to The Court of St. James, a position that might satisfy his ambition and ego. An Ambassadorship to Thiland would satisfy his appitites. Either position would get him safely out of the country and also under Obama's command.

    I can see Clint demanding Secretary of State. What precedent is there for an ex-President to take a Cabinet position?

    The worst scenario for President Obama would be to have Bill as a free agent not working under his command. Remember the trouble that Jimmy Carter gave to Clinton during his Presidency and multply that by a factor of ten.

    I can remember Carter dropping in on Haiti urging regime change and unprovoked military action on a nation that did not threaten The US, and did not have nuclear weapons!

    Events will compell the Obama campagain to give The Clintons a large slice of the pie. Our friends in Iran, Korea and Venezuela are watching.

    Rupert Murdoch in a recent interview said Obama would be the next President. I think people like him and Ted Turner saying things like this are a lot more crediable, since they are very high in the pecking order and know a lot more than you're average common person, or even the heads in the media.

    Not to mention Hillary Pillary and her Cock.

    They know a lot more because their wealth buys them the privilege of manipulating Government and the lives of the average common person, who are too busy trying to make ends meet to try and unravel the crap that goes on behind closed doors in elitist circles.

    Sorry but they may want that outcome, but I don't think they are factoring in the senior vote. The only way Obama can win is if McCain throws the race. Who knows maybe he can be bought.
