In my opinion, its not who answers it but what will they do after they hear the
message. Simple solution, set up a virtual reality situation in which all the
canidates get to answer that phone & see what they would do. I know of groups
of people that do that very thing. Maybe we could get one of them to set one up
at the Oct meet. I have played in 2 of them before and they are fantastic games.

I'm pretty sure the President has someone to answer the phone for them?
NOW !! What part of "its not who answers it but what will they do after they hear
the message" don't you understand....

NEAL, I'll bet we could set up that VRS all by ourselves !!

Actually since its only a SIMULATION of how THEY would respond, why on earth
would a middle person to answer the phone be NEEDED ???????????????????????

On a danish debate, I have asked those who are there, who they prefer Clinton or Obama and why

I'm waiting for the result.

By now I know, that some people in Denmark and Sweden, think that Obama will give away USA to Al-Quada.

In the USA, the feeling is not that Obama will "give away" the country to Al-Qaeda or something to that effect. It's more of a suspicion that Obama will make life alot easier for Al-Qaeda. And Al-Qaeda will become stronger under an Obama presidency and find it easier to conduct their terror operations worldwide. The same will happen under Clinton incidentally. These two candidates would be a disaster for the USA.

Is McCaine better(he's my choice) or is the best candidate out of business?

How does being first lady and a term and a half as US senator equal a "lifetime" of experience?

She counted the eight years she spent in the White House telling Bill what to do ...

Well even if we grant her that it is only 8 years. Hardly a lifetime for someone as old as she is.

For what it's worth as a UKer for the democrat nomination I hope Hillary gets it. Why her you may ask? A case of better the Devil you know.

I just don't like Barak Obama, don't trust him, something about him gives me the creeps and he's also really scrawny though that shouldn't have anything to do with it. Plus I think Hilary is more rounded.

McCaine doesn't seem to bad for the Republicans. He doesn't seem to be so conservative as Bush, especially after I read his comments about illegals and the war, even though he supported it.
