Yes, we can.

Whether Obama gets in or not, I can't wait use the Republican play book and blame Bush (and his wife) for everything that's wrong with this country for the next eight years.

It'll be refreshing to have a President whith character...

And it'll be nice to listen to a presidential speech without feeling like you should shove ice picks in your ears, too.

Revenge repairs nothing. Looking backward to learn from the past is instructive, but looking backward to make a scene about blame is destructive. It would be nice if we could break the cycle.

And I can't wait to use the phrase "on his watch" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

Turnabout is fair play. I think the Republicans need to realize that strategies they have used in the past also work in reverse. These politicians need to be called on their mistakes, no one seems to be doing that.

Although thinking like CP's is honorable and just, it ain't how politicians think. And used as a strategy by the Dems will just get them painted as weak by the media and the Repubs. It's the way it is.

Democrats need to come up with more cohesively strategies. It's something the Republicans do well. Yes, lots of times I don't agree with them, but I do applaud their unity.

For example: I guarantee you, if there is an attack on our country after a Dem gets in as president, that the blame will fall directly in his or her lap. There will be no applause for that president on a pile of rubble. The president will be hung out to dry... by the Republicans.

Or her watch...

With it down to McCain v. Clinton or Obama, I fear we may have to put Leo on suicide watch this fall.

[Gemini Cricket]

And speaking of McCain, I wonder if the 2000 whisper campaign Bush/Rove made about him being gay and fathering a black child out of wedlock will surface again. Or are these things suddenly untrue as he is the nominee for the Republicans? And will his status as a war vet propel him to victory despite that it was used against Kerry. It's that double-standard thing I loooove.

Me neither.......if comparisons to Clinton, no matter how valid they were, are off limits than comparisons to Bush over the course of the next 8 years must also be off limits....at least to the non-hypocritical
