Ya gotta admit they do look the same...
Mmmmmh ... now that you say it ... :hmm:


Old stuff from a year ago:
Yes, McCain told his audience that Mr. Putin is now President of Germany delivering cold war speeches:


(This is big news, i'll better build myself a nuclear shelter in case it wasn't just a mishap ... )


Occasionally we get some info here about the pre-elections. I always had seen Hillary as favourite but i must say that i have been surprised and impressed by Obama. I like his cool and sober way to articulate himself - he seems to have a clear mind. Certainly not the baddest choice as a president in my unsolicited opinion.
Of all the Democrat party candidates I believe he has the best chance at winning the election.

Barring unforseen developments or extraordinarly poor choices in running mates were I a betting man i'd bet like this in the following potential matchups:

Obama v. McCain - Close but Obama has the edge I think
Clinton v. McCain - McCain by a solid majority
Obama v. Romney - Obama by a solid majority
Clinton v. Romney - Too close to call. The TV debates would probably be the key in that scenario.
Huckabee v. Obama - Obama by a solid majority
Huckabee v. Clinton - Close but Clinton has the edge.
Paul can be easily beat by both Obama and Clinton but he's sure not to get the nomination nor does he have the cash to run as an independant.

Is that everyone left?
