What I find disturbing is that Paris is better at reading a script about energy policy than McCain is, which is pretty bad given that he's been a Senator since before she was even born.

FTA or nothing.
Obama will do the world and us a favor compared to McCain. |

It seems like at the moment the agenda is get >60 seats rather than win the election. How can you lose against McCain anyway?
Seems like Republicans are basically all automatons controlled by whoever is controlling bush and less than 60 dems in congress means that republican annoying mosquito hooooo. Word of the day is Filibuster: The term first came into use in the United States Senate, where Senate rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless a supermajority of three-fifths of the Senate (60 Senators, if all 100 seats are filled) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture.

Maybe that's how it would work in practice but in theory NZ agricultural sector could gain a lot. Although I guess even if McCain did win, he'd have a hard time getting a FTA with nz approved by a democratically controlled congress.

That picture of McCain being administered to hospital is creepy, that vacant stare.. also freaks me out how his hair went white as a result of his "enhanced interrogation"

McCains one hardass son of a bitch, no doubt about it.

Can't have been too hardcore, otherwise he wouldn't be a supporter of the USA using torture on suspects in THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR AGAINST EVIL-DOERS.

I just heard on Bfm that Hilary Clinton might still have her name on the electoral roll. Hearsay though.

Its kid of lame though. If they were that happy with Obama being the candidate, why not let him be the only candidate. The reporter on bfm did neglect to say it was for historical reasons though.

Yea, Hillary is even casting her delegate vote at the convention for Obama, and I'm sure Bill is under instructions from her to do likewise.
Obama should be making his VP pick this week. I still hope he picks Joe Biden. |

Right now the Democratic Party should be scouring its ranks searching for a married white male who isn't fucking anyone other than his wife. Sounds like a pretty big ask though.

If Obama is serious about his 'change' rhetoric, he should have Hillary as VP
|
18th August 2008, 17:23 | #116 |

How is having a Clinton in power "change" - certainly that would dent his rhetoric for change by bringing in an established power group...

He would be a 'uniter', not divider. From the primaries people want Hillary almost as much as Obama, whatever power establishment she may represent. If she is VP candidate Obama will get a lot of her votes, it would be a sure win for Democrats.
The only reason not to have Hillary as VP is that he considers her as a political threat to his authority. If he cannot overcome this perceived disharmony and unite his own party, then how can he claim to be able to change the political landscape of the whole US? |
18th August 2008, 17:54 | #120 |

Well either way it's a bit of a moot point - this is the US presidential election we're talking about - the chances of any significant change are so minimal you'd have more chance winning lotto (IMO).
