As we see the no holds barred war between Obama and Hillary, this children's rhyme has been making the rounds.

"There once were two cats of Kilkenny/Each thought there was one cat too many/So they fought and they fit, and they scratched and they bit/Till excepting their nails and the tips of their tails/Instead of two cats there weren't any."

Obama and Cinton .. or Clinton and Obama could be a winning ticket. Right now I'd vote for any sane candidate that's not pro Iraq.

No politician in his right mind would accept the post of vp under hillary clinton, this because he (or she) would really be assistant vp because hillary's de facto vp would be her husband.

Earl,

Thanks to the "Wright" tempest in a teapot, Obama's numbers in PA are in the 30s now and falling in other states yet to vote, like NC.

How about Clinton/Gore II?

Does a megalomaniac qualify as "sane"?

Mike,

There was a sci-fi writer (name escapes me) who wrote about the leaders of men thusly: "There are tigers amongst us."

Does a megalomaniac qualify as "sane"?To the extent that any politician is sane, it would have to qualify!

I've questioned on many occasions whether those who want to be Representatives, Senators, Presidents, et al, really are qualified for the job. :confused:

He pulled his name out -- said neither he nor his family needed for him to go through that. I've always thought David was remarkably sane... which means all the others who do put themselves and their families through such are NOT.

Exactly. I do believe in public service, but when it gets so political, I question the motives of the people who are "volunteering."

There's a rather obscene metaphor that many of my friends use to describe situations such as today's politics. Those who don't want to be offended should not select the text between the two lines below.

Seriously though, that is the thought that unnerves me. The fear that we have passed beyond the rule of law on a slippery slope that is irreversible.

And this on McCain.

When Pat Buchannan sounds more sane than John McCain, you gotta fear for the consequences of this man becoming President.
