Hey there are two dead Republicans on the House side that missed
90.8% and 85.9% of the votes, respectively.

How effective can they be as future leaders, I wonder?

hit send too quick on the previous post ...
what I should have said is that only an asshole would write something like
the above
but hey, they might be better than Obama - just less charisma

In other words, you're saying that you don't know what the **** you are
saying, right.

You want folks who might chose to support Obama to cite a litany of
experiences that should *supposedly* have to qualify him for the White
House, yet you are unable to do so yourself for any particular candidate?

Last I checked the US Constitution, experience wasn't a requirement for the
position, as Bush has proven so disastrously.

To paraphrase the a rabid conservatives mantra:

If I were voting today, and the (impractical) choices were McCain or
Hillary, and the (practical) choice is Obama, I'd vote Obama hands
down--since there aren't any non-Dems/Repubs on the ballot, so far.

Why?

The same reason I said Nader, twice - he was the best choice in the
(impractical)
field of three, no more, no less.
