The famed Mayo Clinic offers up some signs and symptoms for narcissistic personality disorder.
I'd like you to look over the list of telltale indications of this mental problem and decide for yourself if it applies to any of the presidential candidates – male or female.
Now, I'm no doctor, but I think it does apply to one in particular. Because I don't want to prejudice your diagnosis, I will not say which one. Here goes:
"Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same," the clinic continues.

Yep, you’re right on with your two picks. Those were mine as well, although I must add Obama. He is living in a serious fantasy world. hype central.
They would make one ugly, but fitting couple. As a woman I do not get all the hotties hanging around McCain. I respect him being a war hero and what a serious turn on that is :-), but really smart, beautiful, (what I thought were conservative) women too. They must like his pirate bad boy look as so nicely done in a previous post.

Would mentally healthy parents have put their child through that chaos and dysfunction?
“Fits McCain and Hillary”.
Amen!
These criteria are worded so broadly everyone has a few of them. Maybe not all running 100% at the same time, but we all have them. Besides when di we all start believing what shrinks tell us anyway? They’re the ones who were coerced to say homosexuality is okay and the people who have a problem with it have a problem. Their normal course of treatment is to drug up patients. Their home lives are often in shambles (I knew a couple personally and their home lives were falling apart). Yet we want to take their advice on how to live when all they are are a veneer, on the surface okay person.
I’ll assume that she never threw a lamp at you ...;)
And I thought it couldn’t get any creepier. LOL!
That has a very Pythonesque quality to it. Looks like a Terry Gilliam animation.
My best laugh of the day. You are truly desperate, aren’t you?
Hint: when others start laughing at you, you might not be doing your candidate much good.
I thought the article was about me. Sure looks like my characteristics...and I like dogs too.
“So did Hitler,” says my wife.
Does anyone know what the context of that picture is? What’s the story behind it?
Ya THINK?!?!?
Borderlines throw lamps at themselves. You should familiarize yourself with the DSM.
Been there done that...read it studied it lived it with a boderline. You should try to be a little less snotty
