Who all is saying that Clinton will sabotage Obama's campaign? The Fox News pundits?

Anyone who is pro-Creationism is off my list immediately. I hope women are not that shallow that they vote for her just to get a woman in the VP seat.

That's a brilliant bit of irony given what was "purported" by some to be the cause of Katrina.

The speeches both Clintons gave at the Dem Convention were clear enough. Continuing to say that she is going to sandbag the campaign doesn't make sense in the light of those speeches.

I don't think Hillary is as concerned with policy as she is concerned with power. I may very well be wrong. It seems to me as if she has always put her own ambitions ahead of what was in the best interests of party and others.

Should Creationism be the only theory taught in schools? No. Nor should evolution. A theory can only be proven false - or so said my atheist Astrology professor in college before he noted that it ironically validated Creationism (which he obviously doesn't believe in). Personally I believe in a hybrid of both.

If you teach kids both there is obviously much more evidence that Evolution is correct and 9/10 students will concur. I bet the odds are lower than that today without it being included in the curriculum.

Besides if you don't expose students to Creationism...or other sensitive things it results in ignorance. It doesn't have to be presented as fact. It just needs to be understood.

Dang...that was quite the tangent...sorry gang.

Should we, then, teach about the Tooth Fairy in dental schools? Or astrology in astronomy classes? How about teaching chemistry students that, with the correct ingredients, they can turn lead into gold?

I was actually thinking of this from another aspect. In 1996 Bob Dole was the republican nominee because no one wanted to run against Clinton. It could be that the school of thought is that McCain is going to lose so no one with future Presidential aspirations wishes to be on a losing ticket....whether that be Pawlenty, Romney, whomever. Instead of others being rejected BY McCain, perhaps the others rejected McCain. It actually may make sense since McCain had only met with Palin one time.
