Yes, Barry, Obama surely ran circles around McCain at Saddleback. The circles were so impressive that he turned down the opportunity to have 10 Town Hall meetings with McCain. He countered with zero. Perhaps he was concerned they couldn't fit a faux Greek temple inside? |

Yes, he did lose. If you add up the votes for Taft and TR they outnumber Wilson's however. That kind of party split probably wouldn't happen in today's world. I like TR's platform in 1912..."To destroy this invisible Government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." Some things never change I guess... |

what does "would have" mean? if someone was going to vote for someone wouldn't they have voted for them? just because a third option exists doesn't mean you have to vote for them. so to say if someone voted for perot they "would have voted for bush" doesn't make any sense. they could have just voted for bush in the first place. it's just as easy to assume they wouldn't have voted at all. |

Rhys- remember Perot asks Stockdale to get out of the car, and when he does Perot drives away. Then Stockdale runs at full speed and catches up to the car. Hartman got his loopy character down perfectly. |

That's always the first thing I think about when Ross Perot and Adm. Stockdale are mentioned, but you won't find SNL clips on youtube Rhys. For some reason (probably a perceived loss of dvd sales) SNL doesn't want anyone to see their old skits. |

I wouldn't call Admiral Stockdale "loopy". He was badly miscast and clearly uncomfortable as a VP candidate but otherwise he conducted himself w/honor and dignity his entire life. If he was, in fact, loopy, perhaps it was from beating his face against walls and lacerating his own skull so that his North Vietnamese captors could not use him in propaganda films. When he was released after seven years he was in even worse physical condition than john McCain and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. |

Joe, have you noticed who The Maverick (TM) has surrounded his campaign staff with? They're all lobbyists...McCain has even named a lobbyist to run his transition team in the unfortunate event that he is elected president. One of McCain's chief campaign strategists is Tucker Eskew, the man behind the push polling in South Carolina in 2000 in which they called people to ask them if they would still vote for McCain if they discovered he had an illegitimate black baby. |
