    In a related story, Krauthammer is the best last name I've ever heard.

    Even beats mine.

    I don't know, "Mine" would be a great last name.

    If my last name was "Mine", I'd have a daughter named Bouncing Betty.

    Re: Charles Krauthammer - Obama Passing The Reagan Threshold

    I feel badly for John McCain. I truly think he would have done a better job over the last eight years than President Bush.

    I think he's been a dedicated public servant for his entire life and deserves our honor and respect.

    Had he run vs. Gore, I likely would have voted for him.

    Had he run vs. Kerry, I would have voted for him.

    If he had accepted Kerry's offer to fill the VP slot, Kerry would have won in a landslide.

    I would like nothing more than to see a newly-elected President Obama appoint John McCain to an advisory position. I think he still has some great advice to give.

    Re: Charles Krauthammer - Obama Passing The Reagan Threshold

    on Mike's opinion of McCain, i show a couple videos in my classes sometimes that focus on the media framing of the McCain Tobacco Bill and the 1996 Telecom Act. McCain is featured quite prominently in both. and that guy was a very respectable public servant with unpopular opinions and one of few dissenting voices about the "giveaway" of the spectrum in the 96 Act and very much a thorn in the side of Big Tobacco in the other example. Good representitive politics. In the late 90's McCain was also an advocate of low transmission radio licenses for local broadcast....which was 180 degrees opposite of FCC and industry deregulated opinion. that was admirable.

    now, i don't know about this guy.

    Re: Charles Krauthammer - Obama Passing The Reagan Threshold

    Well, it's apparent that he's taken a hard tack right in order to shore up the Republican base and to win the nomination. I don't know that I necessarily believe that the guy represented by his current campaign is the guy he really is.

    I said it a few months ago-I don't think McCain would be a disaster as President at all. I just happen to think the guy running against him would be better.

    Krauthammer is rarely right about anything, so I wouldn't get your hopes up JM.

    And you are wrong. The guy you are voting for is the disaster in waiting. You think the economy is in shambles now, just wait until his new "punish the corporations and the rich" plan gets started.

    I suggest you talk to some business owners and quit getting your political opinions from MTV and the Enquirer.

    You're welcome. And like most kids, I'm sure you won't listen and will have to find out the hard way that I am right.

    It's pretty cool that we're going to get to find out who's right and who's wrong.

    Krauthammer is close. the financial crisis coming to a head was the death blow. what McCain did subsequently is irrelevant. He is a Republican. And it's perceived as a "bailout for wall street pubs"

    Re: Charles Krauthammer - Obama Passing The Reagan Threshold

    Yeah, this financial crisis just gave Obama the White House. Obama is one hell of a story, that is for sure. I hope he makes us all as successful as his campaign has been!

    The good thing for the GOP in all this is the emergence of Palin. McCain could have won this thing if it wasn't for this mess on wall street, and it would have been Palin that did it, not Maverick.

    Palin in 2012.
