If that's true, why on earth would anyone want to run?<BR/><BR/>Also, Charlie Watts doesn't get to pick Supreme Court justices. Other than those issues, and countless more that I won't insult you with by listing them, great comparison, SA.

Why in the world would he want to be president? It would be like quitting the Rolling Stones to become the head of Bear Stearns.Strolling Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15931209395206733161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-72245983879020828282008-03-23T15:50:00.000-05:002008-03-23T15:50:00.000-05:00Hate to tell ya Gino, but McCain can do the math a...Hate to tell ya Gino, but McCain can do the math and there aren't enough Ron Paul supporters to matter to him. As for his poo-pooing the idea that limited government was ever a GOP idea, I agree that's a problem. It's pretty clear that the GOP president McCain has in mind is TR, who was a very different sort of Republican than I am. <BR/><BR/>RH, I've been thinking about Gore too. I certainly wouldn't rule that suggestion out, especially if things continue to get nastier and nastier.

The more damage they do to each other and the more of their campaign war chests that get spent the better.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe McCain has the political stomach for what will need to be done in a campaign against either of Mrs. Clinton or Obama. Might as well let the world class Clinton slime machine do it for him on Obama, who is quickly proving that he is no slouch himself at slinging mud (or worse).<BR/><BR/>The possible downside of all of this, as is still predicted by talk host Bob Davis (AM-1500 KSTP), is that opens the door for Algore to ride in on his low carbon foot print white horse and capture the nomination.<BR/><BR/>Given McCain's green rhetoric, Captain Planet may be a tougher opponenet for McCain to run a strong campaign against than either Mrs. Clinton or Obama.Right Hookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381659078828845900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-53068220657943645192008-03-23T00:18:00.000-05:002008-03-23T00:18:00.000-05:00while mc cain totally disses the ron paul supporte...while mc cain totally disses the ron paul supporters...<BR/>and poo poo's the thought that limited govt was ever a GOP idea.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.com
