Mike, Mike, Mike :o)

I am having deja vu. For how long were women voters ridiculed because it was rumoured we only for the handsome one or the one who speaks well? Shame on you! :o)

If you are serious, you may want to check his voting record before you cast your vote. :o)

If you still support him, GREAT, but at least look at his record! :o)

Tsk, tsk, tsk...


>>>IMO the thought that the Pope will rule an American President died over 40 years ago. JFK went through that, which he shouldn't have to have done, and was elected anyway. Historians consider it a turning point in the election when he confronted it head on. He was an American, just like you, just like me, just like all of us who live here. Almost all of us came here from somewhere else.

>>I'm afraid we're gonna be voting for the "lesser of evils" again in the next and probably most elections. I'll vote for whoever the Republican is for president, unless David Duke or Bill Clinton get the nod. I'm not that crazy about Rudy because of his stances on a few subjects and McCain is a chameleon, ready to change colors at the drop of a dollar.

>Despite the results in November, I think the Republicans have a built-in advantage entering every election. There are many like you who will vote Republican, period. There are others who will vote Democratic, period, but I think far fewer.

>Personally I will vote for McCain if he is in the mix. Unless maybe Barack Obama is still in there. Everyone brings up his lack of experience -- at the national level, anyway, he was in the Illinois legislature before that -- but I think he's for real. He does not come across as a typical politician, at all. I saw him speak once. I have been involved for the past several years with a local volunteer organization called Chicago Cares. One of their big annual events is held the Saturday before Martin Luther King's birthday, with thousands of volunteers going out into the community to paint classrooms, clean up parks, and the like. There are always some speeches at a gathering place before the buses leave. Two years ago it was right after Obama had been sworn into office and he was the leading dignitary. (I can still picture Mayor Daley, another of the speakers, in his chair on the stage looking pouty about being upstaged in his own city). Obama hit the perfect notes IMO. He
>was dressed casually in slacks and a turtleneck. He didn't speak long or windily. Mainly he said thank you for coming out on this cold January morning to do some good for the city we live in. Then he said thanks again, sat down, and shut up. The epitome of cool. There was absolutely a JFK feel in the room.
