I wish he was the candidate from either party, I think he would get over 400 electoral votes
1996 was the general's year BUT I don't think he could get the nominaton of the current Republican "base" of NeoCon Nuts and Religious Right Squirrels. these will be the people pushing for a "Caribou Barbie" or some similar clone in 2012 IF the Gezzer-Dingbat ticket goes down in flames this year.
I'm actually somewhat suprised McCain ended up as the Republican candidate. most of the ultra right wingnuts actually HATE his GUTS. for them he's just "the lesser of two weasels" (and at least he's not BLACK)

I seriously think that the RNC underestimated Obama's organization and thought that Hillary would win the nomination..and did not want to run against her.......those with the money....Romney for one....figured that they would wait for 2012...

Apache, Rink....We were there a long time ago.....
I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery. And she had her head on the headstone of her son's grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards - Purple Heart, Bronze Star; showed that he died in Iraq; gave his date of birth, date of death. He was twenty years old. And then at the very top of the headstone, it didn't have a Christian cross. It didn't have a Star of David. It had a crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Karim Rashad Sultan Kahn. And he was an American. He was born in New Jersey, he was fourteen years old at the time of 9/11 and he waited until he could go serve his country and he gave his life.
Now, we have got to stop polarizing ourself in this way. And John McCain is as non-discriminatory as anyone I know. But I'm troubled about the fact that within the Party we have these kinds of expressions.

Then you must remember.......It was an amazing time....then a brutal time....then it got worse........
I was an idealist in the early 60's...went to war in the mid 60's...came home to chaos in the late 60's.......
This is a bad, bad election campaign.........the motives are very bad, the methods are worse.
Obama is not ready.....McCain is out of control......
But, General Powell was right.....we need what this country had back in the early 60's....and that was hope....it's pretty dark right now, my friend.......
....and, if you voted for Ike, and you are a patriot, do not discount the effort that it took today for a man like General Powell to do what he did..........
This is not about Republicans or Democrats..it is about our country....
