To think that the Demos when put to the voting test will vote for a war supporting Republican and continue with this huge drain on our collective purses is simple highly improbable.

When the debate becomes down to 2 voices they will hear how bad the republicans war has torn this country apart to the point that we can't take care of our own problems and will continue to have our personal wealth decrease for all but the top 5 to 10% of the population.

Remember American's normally vote wallet first in most presidential elections.
There may not be a way to determine if Fox Network is fair and balanced on its coverage of the war and various positions of political candidates; but, about 70% of the population agree that Liberal journalist and news broadcasters dominate how Americans receive their information. Right or wrong, I think most fair minded Americans agree that Fox at least gives the different view to the political left assertions. Whether one agrees with what Fox has to say about politics is another matter all to gather.

For the time being, you happen to disagree with the face McCain puts on the war. I assume you are talking about the War on Terror. That's the War I am talking about too. When George Bush is out of the picture that will be all of the war left to talk about. One thing that bothers me is that I think I know what face McCain puts on the war but I have little idea of how Obama or Hillary puts this face on. How will they protect us? How will they intercept messages from terrorist? What will they do with terrorist that are in prison? Will they consider preemptive strikes? Are they going to allow Iran to develop the bomb? Will they defend Israel? Will they support a strong military? How will they do these things differently than President Bush? They have ran campaigns on change but they have not told us as yet what that change will be in terms of national security.

Maybe I have missed it but I sure would like to know what to expect when Hillary or Obama take the presidential office. If they are willing to keep the country secure, I am patriotic enough to join them in their efforts. However, it looks more like the Democrats are going to blow the election in 2008 just like they did the two previous presidential elections. I do agree with you that usually elections are determined by the economy. except when the country is more worried about national security. If the Democrats have a national security face to put on, they better get it out there along with their economic face. As you can tell on these threads, the Democrats are still too focused on Bush. In 2004 the Democrats made the same mistake. They told us how bad Bush was but they never told us how good they were. They better let the cat out of the bag before the election or else face defeat in 2008.

Lou Dobbs on CNN said last night, a year ago he would have not given a Republican a chance to win in 2008 but now the way Hillary and Obama were going after each other, this situation has changed. That was last night. Tonight, race and patriotism was brought back into the election, big time. Obama's pastor fried Obama a real hot foot. Questions have been raised that surely will cost Obama the nomination.

At this point, if Obama does not win the nomination, his followers will leave the Democrat Party crying fowl play. They will not support Hillary no matter if Obama does support her If Obama still wins the nomination, white America will not elect Obama because of the ugly face he has just put on.

Had these things not recently occurred, everything you have said probably would have happened. I think the Republicans, who look to God for help, might say they are witnessing divine intervention whereas the Democrats may blame their fate on Ralph Nader and the devil.
