      I gotta be honest, I don't see a candidate worth that is that strong on either side.

      Schrillary, Obama, and Mitt all have a strike against them in this society. Woman, black, Mormon. It ain't politically correct, but a decent portion of our population don't like change.

      Schrill also has the whole Bill thing, and she is so polarizing.

      Obama has the inexperience thing also going.

      Rudy and McCain are social liberals, and that will make them getting the republican nomination difficult.

      I agree w/ muscleman. I don't know who the hell wins, so why not take the guy getting 2 to 1 odds?

        TO ME Mc Cain will be beat obama or hillary all day long.
        People will tell pollsters that they voted for obama because it sounds nice but wont be able to pull the trigger.

        Hillary wont win because she is despised males because she reminds them too much of their bitchy wife.

        And Mc Cain will make the most sense because he is a centralist who isnt from new york or from arkansas.

        John Edwards would actually have the best chance to beat him but wont even get the nomination. That will go to hillary who will get blown out.

          mccain will not win the rep nomination. don't count rudi out until the big states. these little ones don't mean that much. edwards would be the best candidate to beat the rep's, but won't win the nomination. A LOT of people won't vote for a female, and there is no way people will vote for osama and have their president sworn in with the koran. only the dems could have those two choices as leading candidates for their nomination. thats why they have only won 3 presidential elections in the past 10.

            ADD HUSKER TO THE THOUGHT PROCESS ABOVE.

            ITS OBAMA AND HE ISNT MUSLIM.

              That's the problem with our Country, and is why imo we will never be as great as we think we are. I hate in the box thinking.

                  That's from the late great JFK my friend. And no, I have not read that book. I don't even know if it's a real book to tell you the truth.

                  If it is I'm sure there are some right wingers that do some of the above as well. Me being a lefty myself, I do drink late sometimes, but I've never had sushi, unless you count sardeans out of a can as sushi. I don't drive a Volvo, and I don't like too many things that come out of N.Y, and their news papers are one of them. I have no piercings, but I love a good freak show!

                              Huskers last post until the rant forum was re-opened up. Then again he's back on 11-6-09

                              So an you were absent from 1-11-2008 until 11-6-2009 that's 22 months.

                              Just going back and looking at some of your posts Husker back in 2004 and 2005 you were actually posting some plays. How come you don't post plays anymore? And no it's not a requirement of the site just curious.
