    This needs to be preserved for posterity, just in case someone, down the line, decides to ever take you seriously about anything. Fuckstick.

    John Edwards had practically the same amount of experience as Obama does now, lasted through the whole process, ended up the Veep nominee and is one of the frontrunners now.

    True, but you don't run for VP. You get picked by the guy at the top of the ticket to give the ticket "balance". Experience has nothing to do with it. If you win you spend the next four years doing ribbon-cuttings at new shopping malls.

    The fact the Edwards is considered a front-runner right now says more about the Dems than it does about Edwards. Put either Obama or Edwards up against a veteran politician and they get smoked like a Sun Belt team in Gainesville.

    Used to be that way.

    Since, 2000, however, the VP has been pulling the strings for the wooden puppet in the Oval Office.

    Obama seems like an interesting canidate from what little I know of him.

    Why is it though that the democrat party always seems to come up with a "magic bullet" canidate who is annointed to early and can never live up to the billing? See Howard Dean.

    Dean. There's one.

    Not exactly "always", is it?

    I'll see your Dean and raise you Bill Clinton.

    Dems had a nice magic bullet in 1968. But he couldn't live up to getting hit with a bullet.

    Those stupid Dems. Can't do anything right.

    God, you're an idiot, Boom.

    The democrat party almost always comes up with these save the world types - some even get elected and the fallout is huge - see Jimmy Carter.

    John Kerry was the last democrat party saviour and now ya all hate him.

    I get the opportunity to hang with Obama, yay media availability, here very soon and I'll ask him the best question posted by the board. I'll then post his response.
    So think hard.
