Must be catching..

On the plus side, if she becomes the Republican candidate, surely she won't stand a hope in hell..?

This makes me smile.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Neither Bachmann, nor Palin would stand a chance in a general election.

Lets hope that this time the Americans don't send a boy to do a man's job.

Obama clearly out of his depth economically (apparently, just like Tony Blair discovered - the power of wishful thinking doesn't go very far when the money is all gone).................shame that the alternatives are so scary..........

Once a person is on the ballot for President, there's a very real danger they might become President. George W. Bush, for example, or William Henry Harrison.

It's true.
The term barbarians comes from ancient Greek, from when parts of Greece were overrun by a gay army of Persians, in high heels, brightly coloured armour and designer spears.
