it's pretty much relevant!, the guy could end up being a Christian fundamentalist! and the world really doesn't need wackos like those.

Mike Gravel. He deserves our attention, if only for the lamest campaign slogan ever, 'I Like Mike'.

We don't know how much wisdom lies behind that simple line :

I think you mean, "the world doesn't need another wacko"

[jso1985]

hell yeah!

eat that Huckabee I said hell

[Camelopard]

Good for him. It's a free choice, so why should he? Military service doesn't make you a better politician, or a better leader of any sort in my view, just as being a successful businessman doesn't automatically make you a better politician, or as being a successful politician doesn't automatically make you a better businessman. Politicians in most other countries have no military background, and I wouldn't say they are any worse at the job than those in the US who have served the US military — far from it.

Well said.

Looks like Obama & Mc Cain are the 'Potomac Primary' winners.

Clinton is having all sorts of problems trying to stay in it, as Barack is just making more and more connections across all sorts of groups. And making yet another change in her staff isn't helping matters at all.

I think Obama would be a breath of fresh air for the US. You have already had Father and son serve as President. If Clinton wins that will be Husband and wife that have served. Give another family a go at leading for a change. Whats next, Chelsea Clinton for President ?

So what? Wackiness is the definition of normality these days. The whole world consists of wackos. Trying to be normal is a form of being wacko. Yes, and the guy who can decently play bass guitar is not the biggest wacko in my book.
