One would wonder why, if the Democrats want a candidate that might
appeal to moderate Republicans, they don’t look to Rep. Ford of Tennessee?

Actually, his father, a "part time" Muslim, was out of the household when Obama was just two years old.
I like Obama..for 2012, not 2008.
Peace to all as Syria holds the answer to much of the region's problems.
Former Governor Mark Warner of VA—now that’s a guy who appeals to middle of the road GOP types.

I guess that depends on which publication you read. 4 years in a muslim school may not make you a muslim but seems a little fishy.

Actually, that's incorrect. The four years were divided between Muslim and Catholic schools. His Mother, who raised him, was not Muslim.
Peace to all as Lebanon needs our help.

He couldn't the Senate election (lost to Bob Corker), so what makes you think he could be President. His family has too much baggage with all the political scandals (Tennessee Waltz, aunt thrown out of state congress, etc). Plus he is just a little too slick for my taste.
But the republicans have a pretty good candidiate in Tennessee in Bill Frist.
Hillary - who is on board with this 'global warming' scam will sign the Kyoto protocol - which will help line the pockets of her constituents. This would potentially be the single, largest economic destruction of our time (other than her Hillary-care initiative).
"I'm in to win" means that, "I'm in to cash in the freezer"

He does have a very strong minority following but most Republicans in TN would never vote for him because of all those scandals, his father, his uncle, his aunt, cousins, etc.. The family owns a lot of businesses in Memphis, the most prominent being a chain of funeral homes. The family passed a law saying that if someone died a ward of the state they had to be sent to their funeral home. Then they charged the state exhorborant burial costs.
Harold Ford Jr. is the most respectable of the bunch but being the least rotten apple is not something to brag about.

If the U.S. signs, would we not then engage in carbon credit trading? Energy trading is becoming almost a distinct asset allocation class. Not sure joining the game would be a disaster, as alternative technologies are currently subject to commodity war pricing by the lowest cost producers (Middle east). If ever there was an area to interfere and command economy in the free markets, it might be one where the consumers are currently holding the fewest cards.
Plenty of greedy constituants to help even out the corruption. You can't make something from nothing, what will be handed out to her constituants that the free market can't regulate?
I don't think she has Bill's brains or "charisma".
Lets not forget NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
He will be forced out by term limits and since his net worth is estimated to be over 5 billion, he can finance his campaign himself.

All true, of course, but unlike the former First Lady, Ford has never to my knowledge been suspect in the death of an individual who could prove to be a political embarassment.

[/quote]True, but she was a great commodities trader for a little while there!
I’m working real hard to think of someone I’d like less in the White House…Nancy Pelosi or Ted Kennedy perhaps…

Oh yeah, I remember now...the whiskey breath.

Folks don't even have a clue how good things are right now ... but they're gonna find out pretty soon if old whiskey breath and company wax eloquent.
Hillary is a bag. Anyone who wants a lifetime politician should be shot.
MITT ROMNEY is the solution. Screw religion, but he does like god. He was the CEO for Bain. Saved the UTAH olympics and was the governor of Mass. The man knows how to manage and lead, cut taxes and waste. Throw out the war and what is the problem with this country? Piss poor planing for the future.
Energy… No nukes or government pressure to truthfully produce cars that get higher MPG. THe mpg scale is fixed and up to 25% off per car.
Military… 1990’s dems did everything to get rid of our intel and cut down on troops.
Ethics and politics… Both parties in the 90s wrote blank checks to the house bank. Both have lobbyiests and fringe groups donating and bribing. President getting blow job in the oval office after numerous affairs.
Government waste… If government assistance leads to waste so does earmarks/pork, governmnent employees and some of these pathetic programs.
Who ever wins I pray it is not a lawyer or politician. We need change and maybe a cut in the executive pensions.
