Too bad that Powell was disgraced by Bush's prostitution of him before the UN, eh? He is a Repub I could vote for. But he's now tarnished for life......

Yes that is too bad. You remember the movement in 1996 to draft Colin Powell as the Republican who could overtake Bob Dole for the Republican nomination? The parallel track was to draft him to run an independent campaign. I would have voted for him then. The only problem was that the GOP was (and is) hung up on the abortion issue and Powell is pro-choice. And if you have seen my Electoral College posts, you can see that it was doubtful that even someone as popular as Powell was at the time could overcome the odds against him in an independent run.

I think Powell lost all credibility in the lead up to the war back in 2003. I also believe that he left at the end of Bush's first term because he knew he had perpetuated a lie. This was a sad end to an otherwise stellar career for Powell. And that really is too bad.

Republicans need to nominate a real conservative, someone who will wage a real war, and protect us.

The master plan unfolds.

Just like Hillary.

I don't want John McCain. I don't want Hillary Clinton. But that is where my agreement with you ends.

We need a president with a spine who can get us out of this illegal war. I hope it is John Edwards. I know it isn't Hillary. And it sure as hell is NOT that Bush a s s -kisser, McCain!

I predict Gore will win the next election with a record landslide. In fact, I going to check the line in Vegas.

I would not be surprised to see Gingrich do the same on the Repub side.

I think Gore could handily beat the rest of the announced Repubs, but Newt might be a bit more difficult.

Mr. McCain, in the words of Lisa Simpson, "you've had you moment in the sun and now it's time for you to gracefully step aside."

I owuldn't trust McCain with his finger on the nuclear trigger. This guy loses his cool all the time and cannot stand criticsm;

McCain once said to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, "You know, senator, I thought your problem was that you don't listen. But that's not it at all. Your problem is that you're a ******* jerk"

Real presidential, eh?

[dallison7]

I'm still thinking Gore will let them go on with their infighting and then come in as the elder statesman, make them all look like pretenders to the throne, and take all the marbles.

I agree. Gore will let the nation tire of the current candidates, and without needing the time to introduce imself to the nation will blast the competition away. I predict Gore will win the next election with a record landslide. In fact, I going to check the line in Vegas.

You want more the same - "the surge" mentality? - nothing new can be expected of McCain - he's too old, has flipped-flopped till he's dizzy.

John, you are a bigger loser than George Bush.

It's unlikely you will last until the primaries, so enjoy it while you can. You were stupid enough to cast your lot with George Bush and now you will pay the price for that gross misjudgment.

And, you are way too old to even consider 2012, hopefully, you will enjoy your retirement.
