If he did not exist, Democrats and other progressives would have to invent him in order to have a designated villain handy for display for fundraising letters and BBQs.<BR/><BR/>He may have a hard-core following, but they are a tiny, tiny number of people.<BR/><BR/>Speaking for myself, I am on a presidential campaign fast. I refuse to pay any attention to any of those folks until the summer of 2008.

Back in 1989 in Chicago I was tackled quite strongly over what we were doing about their Nuke ships. Then I realised it was the ban in New Zealand ports. But I was still "wrong". Rather like my social intro to a bank manager in Seoul. Oh Australia just next to New Zealand. <BR/><BR/>The Fred Thompson as a candidate also amazes me. As Dobson said he cannot make speeches - he is also too old and he is an ACTOR. Haven't they had enough of actors - so many seem to get to politics in real life. I saw Martin Sheen joking about his progression through the ranks to the top job in his acting life I just cannot see how Fred would convince me he was not playing a role. Has his whole acting career been simply to convince the voters?<BR/><BR/>Romney sounds ok - but there are points you make. <BR/><BR/>There must be somebody. <BR/><BR/>OR Is Hillary a certainty?<BR/><BR/>Now if Martin Sheen was standing...Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898855599160925012noreply@blogger.com
