The truth is no one knows how much oil and gas may be in ANWAR. I have no problem with drilling so long as we protect the environment.

I disagree. America is headed into very serious times. Deep inside, the electorate knows this. The purpose of a presidental campaign is to find out how well the candidate will govern especially in serious times... Given the past 7 years we know the GOP can not deal with the issues that face this country

What a load of BS. Does this mean you will stop obsessing over Bush and obsess over Obama now? Because I point out how Bush has screwed up does not mean I am obsessed. The changes I listed I support and I believe the majority support. We will not get the changes needed with any of the leading GOP candi

Reply By: Island DogPosted: Monday, January 07, 2008One liberal or another, it really doesn't make a difference. Hillary or Obama won't make it in a general election. Do not bet on that. Obama has the ability to bring out the youth, the white vote (look at Iowa) and the black vote. He is viewed as
