I truly think you are wrongly applying the Peter Principal to John
McCain.

I knew John as a adolescent, when I served his Father as an orderly in
WW2. I wasn't much more than a Kid myself but his family is generations
of very successful men. They are a family dedicated to serving their
country, as leaders. Very successful leaders. Admiral McCain's Staff all
thought well of young John.

Being a Democrat and swearing never to vote for another republican after
I voted for Eisenhower, I would find it hard not to vote for John. He is
a very good man in his own right. He is loyal. He demonstrated his
belief in what's right by serving his interment as a prisoner of war
even through his Father was the last five Star Admiral of the fleet at
the time. They played by the Rules.

Mundo, I think I just convinced myself to vote for John if he runs.

Well said Thom,

Some people talk alot of ****.. Some people do.

Not one other candidate can say they have given as much to our country
and John has.

Rudy did OK in NYC and IMO would be Number 2.

It's going to be McCain vs Hillery.

That's a laugh. Neither one of those men (yuck yuck) is capable of winning the primary.
What wins primaries is good looks and moving to the right for Republicans and good looks
and moving to the left for Democrats. I rub elbows with the rich and famous in my
restaurant on an everyday basis. I know how things work in that world.

Neither McCain nor Hillary have what it takes in the looks dept. McCain's too far left for
conservatives and Hillary's too far right for liberals. They just won't make it past the
primaries. And both are quite unattractive.

Nope, I'm Ted Bell and I'm telling you how it will go down. It will be Edwards vs. Romney!
Both are attractive and manly looking men. Edwards is an ultra liberal and Romney is ultra
conservative. The ladies will swoon and vote in droves.

Steaks on the house at Ted's of Beverly Hills if I happen to be wrong.

I'm Ted Bell!

Well;; After reading the post inASA including mine, I'm so so glad we
have nothing to do with the nominations.

Excuse me? We have everything to do with the nominations...who do you
think does the legwork for their candidates? And contributes the money?
And goes door to door campaugning and posting signs in their yards and
stickers on their bumpers? If you say that we, the people, have nothing
to do with that , then this isn't the USA and we don'y have any rights
left to us at all. Shame, Thom.

Katy,

Just keep dreaming. In reality you get to vote for ONE ELECTOR in YOUR
STATE.
Didn't Bush getting elected teach you anything about Presidential
election? The popular Vote means NOTHING!!

Our government is a REPUBLIC!! It isn't a Democracy as you apparently
believe. A REPUBLIC! Learn about your government. It was formed as a
REPUBLIC which is different than a Democracy.

It is a democratic Republic but a REPUBLIC it is! You should learn the
difference.

Excuse me...we were talking about choosing cadidates, not the actual
electoral process..
and I am well aware that we are a republic and not a democracy and how
the electoral process works...you are diverting from the original
discussion of choosing cadidates to run...and BTW, your voting for an
electoral vote IS voting for an individual....so get back on
topic..which is choosing candidates to run...and don't take that tone
with me...

Katy is correct. The topic was the primaries but Thom made the unlikely leap to the
presidential election and the electoral college. But, we must not forget the real issue
in the upcoming primaries and that is women like Katy are going to be the key to whom
the candidates are because women represent the swing vote. I'm Ted Bell and I
know all about swinging! I'm just that kind of a loveable guy. Come to Ted's of
Beverly Hills for a steak that's a mouth-watering delight.

I'm Ted Bell!

I'd agree, at least in part. Moderates--sitters upon the proverbial
fence--will also play a big role, just as they did in the immediate-past
midterm election. If the Dems controlling Congress don't live up to their
claims of "working with the President" and "restoring faith in the political
process," there will be another moderate backlash, but I doubt if they'll go
GOP. They probably just won't vote. That may give someone like Nader or
another dark horse the opportunity to be a majordomo spoiler for either
party. Should be an interesting election.

This is sounding awfully gay, Mr. Milstead.
