Seriously, how would we expect a candidate to answer that question? "No, Al Gore will not be in my cabinet, I can't stand the man and I think anthropogenic climate change is a myth"?

Yes, i think McCain would leave it open to the possibility, but it would be unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Obama takes a protectionist approach to the economy, the working class Dems will support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/ob..._oil_spill.html In a new ad, Obama says, "I don’t take money from oil companies." Technically, that's true, since a law that has been on the books for more than a century prohibits corporations from giving money directly to any federal candidate. But that doesn’t distinguish Obama from his rivals in the race. We find the statement misleading: Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses. Two of Obama's bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the presidential hopeful. More at the link.

I already knew that Hillary was more full of s*** than the average politician, how much Hillary-bashing have you seen me do on this board besides me saying "I don't like Hillary"?

HuskyCaucasian Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ok, quick recap: March 21 - Bill Richardson Endorses Obama March 22 - James "Skeletor" Carville calls Richardson Judas Last few days - Bill Clinton blows a gasket claiming “Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that (endorse in general or endorse Obama)" This Evening - Richardson: "I never saw [President Clinton] five times. I saw him when he watched the Super Bowl with me. We made it very clear to him that he shouldn't expect an endorsement after that meeting." Why do I have a feeling Richardson is on the high ground here? How can we trust anything the Clinton's say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now add today - a Clinton "associate" said that Bill Richardson privately had confided to the Clintons that he thought Obama couldn't win a general election.
