Or gear up for the next time.

This is hardly surprising.

I'm not really surprised, just depressed.

Aside - this looks interesting - http://www.salon.com/news/feature/20...ain/print.html

I was for McCain but now there just aren't any plus's for him anymore. He sounds more like a GBIII which is disappointing. As far as the wiretaps I would be more for tripwire tapping than active tapping. The problem with blanket active wiretapping is that it will and does get abused and it'll too simple to plead anything is terrorism and use information they shouldn't.

She also retains control of her pledged delegates. John Edwards did the same thing. Suspended his campaign.

This is why Clinton lost.

10 points for actually listening to the whole interview.

I think her viewpoints are rather dated.

I have never felt bad when ever a woman "wins" something she is competing for.

Ms. Steinem has built her career out of pointing out the inequalities between men and women. It is in her best professional interest to maintain such inequalities.

At one time, she was bang on. These days, I see way too many successful women in governments, businesses, academia, and sciences all around the world not to recognize that the world has changed and changed for the better when it comes to equality.

Is the world perfect? Not by a long shot. Should we continue to strive for more equality (both benefits and responsibility) between the sexes? Absolutely!

But the picture that Ms. Steinem paints is about 30 years old. She needs to get a new canvas and some new paints.

I guess it might be Obama, originally wasn't so sure about his changes but he seems to be doing well. McCain isn't an easy opponent but if Hillary can get women to vote for Obama he has a good chance. Me not being an American doesn't really matter who wins. Every little twist of the election is on the news here too, almost like it's the 'president of the world' or something being chosen. Not sure if I like that idea too much.

If Obama picks Clinton as a running mate for a run at the Whitehouse.

He'll have assassinated himself of any chance of being the first black President.

Wes Clark on John McCain

Quote:

Then, referring to his leadership of NATO forces in Kosovo, Clark said, "John McCain was a senator, he supported my actions. But his support was rhetorical. He wasn't responsible, he's not been responsible, he hasn't felt the brunt of the responsibility, he hasn't felt the anguish of uncertainty, and that makes a big difference."
