If we did, we would concentrate on winning today's Mega Millions (which is over 145 million today)... So all these proclamations of how Obama will not win and cannot beat McCain as as silly as the proclamations that America was not ready for a female or black candidate. This present race has debunked that idea.
Another truth? Times change!! We can never predict it and sometimes we can't see it, but things do in fact change. To constantly use the past to predict future events is myopic at best (please note I said "constantly"). So I also do not subscribe to the past 20 years arguments. Why go back just 20 years? Go back 30, 50, 150, when Republicans were the liberal party. Lincoln was a republican.
Also if you are going to the past of a gage, use all the events of the past. Also remember how Bill Clinton a non-veteran, scandal ridden, a one time failed Governor of Arkansas, had no shot to beat an incumbent, ex-military, war winning, ex-CIA chief, ex-Vice President in George Bush Sr. One can also say that Rev Wright is Obama's Jennifer Flowers.
From a personally standpoint, I am a little tired of hearing sweeping proclamations. We have heard too many in the past 8 years. All, turned out wrong.
However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, thoughts and presidential choices and to express them in the manner they choose.

@highlighted...exactly...Obama this and that is also tiring...goes both ways...we may not know the future but we are entitled to predict it as we ALL do on other issues based on the past...wrong or right...eventually, time will tell...

If I win, it means you go win too, unless you too slow/mugun to play your own winning number

The republicans are cunning and they know the deal. They have managed to prove to the world that they are a lot smarter and wiser than the demograts. Y2K is being repeated but in a different way.....Yep, it hurts like hell......another four years of the Rep's is painful to pound on.....now that is what is causing me grief.
Yes, the republicans voted for Obama and they are admitting it now...where you @ get with the program my dear..
Hillary unlike Gore, has proven to the world that, some things are worth losing for. Win or lose, long live the dream abi?

The first highlighted couldn't have caught my attention but for the fact that i already said in this thread that democracy has room for fools especially when they are in the majority.800,000 more people have voted for Obama than Clinton so far in America including millions the world over that see him as a better choice.Just that this time,it is not like in Y2K!
A forum like this remains a market place of ideas where assumed sane individuals advertise their minds.I am certainly not immuned to foolishness especially because i-like many people-endorse democracy as a government system even with its flaws.
Don't grieve on the fear of a repeat republican government because it is not coming and they know it.Anti-Obama or Anti-Clinton would not shift that fact.
The last highlighted made me punder that Hillary is probably waiting for a VP offer before quitting.To me,that would not be a bad idea afterall.Just that Obama might have a problem working with somebody that believes he is not worthy of the presidential seat.
Stay well
