Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
McCain has a 25% chance of dying during his second term due to his age and past medical history (and that president doesn't include presidential stress). According to pretty much everyone, Palin isn't ready to be President. Does that mean that trusty ol' Democratic congress gets to run the place when she becomes even more of a lame duck than Bush? She won't have the sway to get a parking ticket overturned, much less Roe v. Wade.
At this point Obama is looking like a shoe-in. Check out Gulp's Glyphs Not Worth Grabbing and Gulp's Abilities Not Worth Activating! Very Useful Thread: The Heroscape Library "Heroscapers.com is not a charity site for the illiterate." -Gbob

Sarah Palin is as ready to be VP as Barack Obama is to be President and noone has to die for him to get it. |

I ask the people in the class how they got in a mortgage they could not afford, and the response is that they did not know they could not afford it, this is the first time that they had put all of their bills on one piece of paper and added them up.

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
Gulp has a 100% chance of not having any idea in the world when anyone may die.
I don't know how you came up with that very scientific piece of data (death clock widget?) but I'll counter with the equally scientific, "McCain's mother is still alive." I bet Barack Obama's chances of surviving his first term are probably equally as slim considering the amount of kooks out there who don't like the idea of him being 'black' and all. And Joe Biden is about as even tempered and thoughtful as a sillysaurus in a china shop. What difference does his experience matter if he's always wrong? EDIT: This is nice, Gwen Ifill, who will be moderating the Veep debate, has an Obama book coming out soon. I wonder, should Obama win, if she might sell more books. The book will be released on inauguration day. Hmmm... Last edited by Onion Knight; October 1st, 2008 at 06:41 AM. |

A lame duck is someone who, in thier last term, isn't concerned about doing anything anymore for thier last few months. Palin doesn't strike me as the kind of person who gives up. |

By the way, the greens are fighting a new Cliffside coal-fired power plant west of Charlotte that Duke Energy is trying to build. It will replace an old plant and reduce bad emissions output by 80%. But Gore says that is still not the correct direction and supports the groups apposing it. What??? |

Re: Race for the presidency political discussion thread
GULP has a 100% chance of knowing when someone will die....if he's holding the gun.
Al Gore is a moron. His mind was broken after losing to Bush (arguably) and now he has only one thing to live for. I am advocating Civil Disobedience until Wave 9 comes out. I am also advocating Civil Disobedience if my cereal sits too long and gets soggy....my point - anyone can say anything, but the speaker, not the words, are truly the context that decides whether or not someone is taken seriously or not. McCain will live to a thousand. His mom is alive and she had class photos CARVED INTO STONE in High School with Rameses II and Moses, class of 1990 BC. Palin will be a good VP. Here's my reasoning - who would you rather do international favors for - a grizzled old codger or a hot little number who warmed up the entire state of Alaska? NEVER underestimate the power of an attractive woman.
