Not exactly a fan but I have been involved in this kind of stuff for at least 40 years of my life and always within the Democratic Party. Nothing to do with gender or race. Just the best person for the highest office in the land.

Enough said about this subject. Wont be drawn into political blah blah blah. Mr. Obama won, let the Party unite behind him and let him duke it out with McCain. May the best one win (actually, may the one with the best PR geniuses, muckrackers and deep pockets win).

Yes, I agree with you very much, politics is one of few subjects I prefer not to discuss with friends, on the internet or otherwise.

palito

thanks, emgriggs... appreciate your support. my country is important and I can be extremely opinionated on my ideas but.... my friends are also important, especially new ones which not yet really know me well.

politics is one of the "things" that can -- and do-- destroy friendships, new or old. So there.

off my soapbox.

I wonder if Hilary will agree to be the Vice President when it comes down to it.

She already made it plain as day that she would love to be Mr Obama's running mate. There is a list of probables, including two republicans. One of these reps is John McCain's personal friend, hahahaha.

If she does get it, I will vote for the ticket. Otherwise... hmmmmm.
I hope she gets the job. She really has the balls, I mean... credentials for the post.

I don't think she'd make a good VP just for the simple fact that after she announced the suspension of her campaign she hasn't been seen or heard from since. It's really sad it had to go down like this.

I'd like to move on to Cindy McCain and what influence she has over the Anheuser-Busch company that currently has an offer to be bought out by a Belgian company for something like 46 billion dollars. If this happens lots of Americans will be losing their jobs or will be working for people in other countries. They have a plant in Elizabeth, NJ that stinks up the place (but that's another issue).

I think this goes in hand in hand with politics although the media has not put the story together like this yet. I wonder why...I don't expect Fox News to put it out there and I'm wondering what's taking CNN and MSNBC so long.

What a dilemma.

Suspending one's campaign or activities does not make one any less good. That is very simple and superficial reasoning. She needs to regroup. She is a very strong force within the Party and Mr. Obama certainly will need her support if he is to win.

She has already been in several "secret" meetings with him. including the first one at my dear friend's house in Washington (Senator Feinstein from California). Am not defending her actions but merely pointing to something odd you said.

An analogy: You decide to stop doing or participating on a certain group activity and announce so. Would that make less worthy? Same thing here.

Oh well!

Ahhhh, so we have a beer hater amongst us, eh? [{sarcasm button on}]Pooh Anheuser-Busch, nobody understands them! [{sarcasm button off}].

MSNBC is jointly owned by NBC and Microsoft, what did you expect?

Moni

I was referring to her absence in the support of Obama. He needs her now and in the future if he is to win. It doesn't seem as though she is wanting to help him out is all. I can appreciate that she needs time to get it all together. The distance between them seems long to me. Maybe it's just me.

No, I'm not a beer hater. I don't want to see more Americans laid off anytime soon.

palito

hmmmm... and you complained because I corrected your typos before? Now it is much clearer... sorry Obama, according to himself, needs no one. He is Super Obama (yeah, sure)! We could go ad nauseaum with the Clinton/Obama thing and never agree on anything else but agreeing to disagree. So there! Politics can also be very boring and bring out warts in....

As for the beer thingie... I knew what you meant, Moni. Did not you notice the "sacrasm buttons"? Am not a fan of A-B breweries. I have some nasty experiences with them as a company. Still, this Bud is for ya!

Moni

I didn't complain. I was saying that you had to be the one to point it out and I'm not surprised by it. But thank you because I didn't know I was spelling it wrong.
