    Sen. Obama is the best orator on the political stage in quite some time. I agree with you - if charisma could carry the day on its own, he would win hands down. Without my vote, but win he definitely would. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

    Gut, really. Talk is cheap, but familiarity is a nice side benefit. Then again, the NK's talk quite a bit with people and nothing comes of it. Some regional interest groups seem to do little more than chat on occasion. Don't think the chats do much good, but perhaps via intangibles they do more than we think. Perhaps regional groups will rise up due to the archaic nature of the UN organization and the utter stalling of the Doha round and many useful and beneficial agreements will be made in those forums. My initial gut feel.

    Clicky Monsieur Sarkozy has been quite busy of late. I like him. Not sure what I think of this yet, but my initial take is that nothing but good can come of these folks meeting on a regular basis.

    He seemed to be a very genuine guy. I liked listening to him @ FoxNews and as Press Secretary. Saw last night that he had his own band. He's going to be missed. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

    Hmmm...perhaps they'll improve the quality... Known about that for a while, actually.

    I'm in SoCal now, amigo! You've got the roof - simply provide tequila...er...enough of it at any rate. Carly Fiorina...good thinking...I think Gov. Palin would be a slightly better for VP, but Fiorina would certainly add some flair to the ticket as well. I think the REAL question is if Billvon will take the job if offered! He's leading the election in this thread... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

    There are times when GWB is correct - more often than most admit. A lawyer who receives a phone call from an elected official during the tenure of an unpopular administration of the same party as that administration soliciting him to use his position as a political appointee to further the interests of a political party by indicting members of the opposing political party on absurd charges, refuses to do so because said request is unethical, and doesn't go public with that? Bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!!! he's an idiot! He has no credibility! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

    Well, who do you think it should be? I, of course, am the obvious BEST choice, having the sexiest kneecaps of any of the above. However, I think Sarah Palin of Alaska would bring the most to the ticket. Bob Portmann would be the smartest VP ever in all likelihood - right up there with Nixon and, yes lefties, your hero El Jefe Clintonista. He's a great knowledge of economics and I think he'd make a FINE president. Or VP. However, I don't think he brings much to the ticket. Any thoughts?

    Nice article by one of the fired prosecutors. In his book, this guy claims that a Senator called him and asked him to indict several high ranking democrats. If he didn't go public immediately, then he's an idiot. An absolute moron. This guy has no credibility.

    Getting directly here gets me some sort of stupid error. anybody else having this problem? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

    So they want to know if Karl Rove, a political advisor, had any role in the White House directing federal prosecutors, who are political appointees, to prosecute certain cases? And they want to know if Karl Rove, a political advisor, had any role in the White House choosing to fire certain political appointees? They need his testimony for that? Dear God. Does anyone WONDER why Congress has a single digit approval rating? With all the work to be done, they've apportioned time for such shenanigans. Dear God.

    Jack$on. What an idiot. Being detested by Je$$e Jack$on is definitely a mark in Sen. Obama's favor. I'll still never vote for the man, but that is a definite plus about him.

    Just curious to see...

    I'm in, though I might not make the event, I'll raise a wee bit o' $$ for it.

    I disagree completely, and not only because I think the economic challenges will far outweigh the military ones in terms of complexity and effort required to solve them. Governing according to public opinion is about the dumbest thing an elected official can possibly do. They're not elected to be popular - they're elected to do the right thing, which unfortunately they often don't do. If President Obama (may that never come to pass, PLEASE DEAR GOD PLEASE) needs to deploy troops for the good of the nation, he needs to do so regardless of public opinion. The maintenance $$ need to get flowing to DoD REGARDLESS of whom is elected (dear GOD LET IT BE MCCAIN) because the war has taken a toll on the equipment of all branches of the military. That's not a challenge - it's a fact of life. I'm going to the beach to show off my sexy knee caps.

    Interesting. I don't think any single country will be the next greatest challenge. I think the next great foreign policy challenge will be economic and not military in nature. Reform of international institutions (see this week's ECONOMIST) will be a huge thing, as well as getting the DOHA round un-stuck (if that's possible), resisting the urge to impose draconian gov't controls on commodities speculation as the cost of oil rises, and many other economic challenges await. Not that Pakistan will be a SMALL issue, but I think the real challenge will be in the realm of trade and economics - the largest one being the reform of international financial/economic treaties & institutions to bring them into the 21st century.

    The jury? Not at all. The decision to prosecute? Absolutely.
