[STARWISE]

Thanks, you ;). I'm glad to hear he will still be on the air, periodically. I really like him.

[rodguy911]

Amazing, CNN just ran the chopper story but forgot to tell their audience that 250 terrorist s were killed, I'm so shocked and dismayed!! That's why what we do here,uncovering the truth, is soooo important and will remain so. Especially during the next two years.

Steppie on Duncan Hunter: "I don't think he has a chance....longest of the long shots."

Maybe so .. but he's the one I like so far out of the group running

[snugs]

I might be wrong but I thought his contract ran out in 2008.

[bushfamfan]

And that is why I continue to post the link for his site. He can use the money and some people may not have it. And just for STARWISE I'll post it again ;) http://www.gohunter08.com Can't be given enough!

[AliVeritas]

I'll get the reports together from the .mil and email them out.

[Txsleuth]

I personally haven't hear Brit say that....I pray it isn't so...and I bet Ailes and Murdoch feel the same way.

I bet they would at least try to see if he will stay until after the Bush Admin. is gone...so they can see if Tony wants to come back..and maybe take over for Brit.

[BusterBear]

As a Brit looking on their performance was pure theatre and nothing to do with running a country. The autograph bit to me seemed so childish and running around to be at the front as the President passed was as you say pop groupie status.

Actually "running a country" is very low on their list of priorities - if they ever went to the trouble of thinking about anything more substantial than the photo-ops and fancy over-seas trips that would be included. They're too superficial and media-crazy to be conscious of anything else.

[Mo1]

they can sit and spin

[STARWISE]

I think folks got that from all your posts .. ;). Don't worry .. plenty of word will get out. He's a good man .. hope he's got a good organization and good $$ to start him off.

[Yomin Postelnik]

I'm starting to come around to see it your way. I think Huckabee has a strong advantage, he comes across as very likeable even to libs. But Hunter is definitely better at setting the record straight and Hunter would be better on national security, in which Huckabee appears week.

We definitely have to rally around someone fast. Hunter and Huckabee are far better than any of the others. The more national security becomes the main issue, and it might, the better Hunter looks. If it's a bland election then Huckabee would come across better - but come to think of it, I doubt it will be.

Thanks for setting the record straight. I think you're changing at least my mind.

[Morgan in Denver]

I willingly accept the correction. Worse, if I remember right, Lincoln lost a number of elections prior to his nomination for president.

In defense, I was primarily considering presidents since FDR, realizing Hoover was never elected to anything other than the presidency, if I remember right. I was drawing the line with FDR because the nature of the office of the presidency changed numerous times until FDR's unprecedented four elections and the changes resulting after WWII.

[rodguy911]

I know I would not bet that Hillary will keep her cool for almost two years.I don't' think she has that in her.

Exactly. I don't either. That's why she will be well hidden during the final months of the campaign and bubba and ossamma will do all the heavy lifting. And as to why she was campaigning so early I think it was two reasons, first to reinvent her as more conservative and second to raise mucho bucks.

[Mo1]

Did Brian say who will replace him?

I'm happy to hear about his promotion .. but at the same time I'm afraid that FNC will replace with another nitwit like Gretchen

[rodguy911]

Ratspeak, it always means the reverse.

[STARWISE]

I've decided he's a barnacle ..

barnacle (bär'nə-kəl)

Pronunciation Key

Any of various small marine crustaceans of the subclass Cirripedia that form a hard shell in the adult stage and attach themselves to underwater surfaces, such as rocks, the bottoms of ships, and the skin of whales.

[STARWISE]

Gawd .. I will HATE to see him leave. I don't see anyone else to fill his shoes.

[rodguy911]

If you do it too much you will turn us off.

[MNJohnnie]

Just making sure we keep in mind for 2008 the difference between what is Unlikely, and what is impossible.

Do you remember who Eisenhower beat in 1952? I am drawing a blank.

[Morgan in Denver]

I'll have to re-look but I thought JFK beat Nixon, who was Eisenhower's VP, as well as a former senator.
