JK2006	I'll vote for any ticket with Michael Palin on it.
veritas	I think people are over-looking Obama's acheivments-coming from a dirt-poor family and putting himself through Harvard, geting elected to the Senate and becoming the first black American presidential candidate. Compare that with the current president-a dolt borne into a rich family ( no crime in itself ) but one who has failed in every business venture and had to be bailed out by daddy and his friends-plus his highly dubious National Home Guard record ( and non attendance). McCain may have had a long experience in politics but he's had a very patchy record such as his involvement in trying to get he Feds to drop their investigation into the notorious Keating bank scandal and his grasp of foreign affairs seem pretty dim. If he can't remember how many houses he has do we really want this bloke with his finger on the button ?. And with serious health problems-at 72 the US is a heartbeat away from a former beauty queen beoming president-whose vast experience in public office has been as mayor of a town of 8000 people and 2 years as Alaskan governor. This sounds like a "go for broke" attempt by McCain as despite what the polls tell-it's almost a walk-in for Obama (unless those machines are rigged). I doubt the women who may have voted for Hillary Clinton will go for Sarah Palin as an alternative given she stands for everything Hillary doesn't. My prediction : it's just gone from a shoe-in to a landslide for Obama / Biden.
JK2006	And what do we all think of McCain's new Alaskan babe?
Hamlet	Obviously Obama is the best choice for President, although I do fear that he might be all image over substance. Time will tell.

He is surely the new KING OF POP ! Very impressive - lets hope if he gets office the "realities" of running a country dont jade him too quickly and he tries to keep his vision of hope and change. I remember when Tony Blair had this sort of "feel good" factor in the UK - and it all ended in tears and silly wars. I still think that it could have worked if Blair had kept to his original agenda and not been sidetracked into Foreign Policy. The glee wasn't Tony Blair getting in it was Major and friends going out
