The Republicans Eat Each Other

Charlie Gibson is moderating a debate of the Republican candidates for President.

It's like Thompson, Romney and Guiliani never heard of Syria 1949, Iran 1953, Iraq 1963, the general perception of Middle Easterners concerning Sadat and the King of Jordan (bribed tools of the west?) as they relate to Israel and get billions from America, Lebanon 1981, the bombing of Qaddafi (resulting in the death of his daughter), understand the perception of Pakistani people relative to their English speaking government, the non-UN-approved 10 year post-Kuwait-invasion US/UK bombing campaign in Iraq, the support of the absolute monarchs in KSA...

How can ANYONE let Guiliani and Thompson say nothing went wrong before 9/11?

The last good deed was the Suez Crisis, right? Over 50 years ago.

I can not say whether Guiliani, Thompson and Romney are ignorant, or stupid, have been led to this kind of idiocy, or they are actively attempting to deceive Americans.

And the next President of the United States is...

Barack Obama is going to win. Since that is, at 7:45am on January 5th, 2008, obvious, the main question is who will be his running mate. Edwards is the obvious choice, but it is quite possible to be someone we've never heard of. Of course, a particularly bad VP choice could sink it for Mr. Obama, but I doubt that is in the cards.

Who will he beat in the general election? I'll guess McCain, who will be beaten because his age is really going to show, or Romney, whose pull in Utah isn't going to help.

My bad

I see now why I got the wrong result in the Dem primary. I had seen Fox do a little Edwards boosting, and hadn't recalled how anti-corporate he would later be depicted.

McCain will surely win in New Hampshire, and I guess that would be Obama for the Democrats.
