    My personal choice could settle on either Gen. Clark, Sen. Biden, of VP Gore. That being said, however, I have no brief against any of the present field.

    Between Senators Clinton and Obama I would lean slightly to Obama.

    Gov. Richardson did himself no favors with his clumsiness around the "Gay" issue recently.

    I think when Bush leaves office (hopefully without any incident) and is proceeded by a thoughtful, intelligent and dedicated public servant (i.e. one of the democratic candidates), only then can we start to have a real conversation about what these Bush years have truly cost us.

    For whom are you rooting in 2008?

    Re: Left hand salute.

    On a military ship that still uses a bos'un pipe, when a flag officer or the Captain is piped aboard or leaving, most Bos'un mates will use their right hand for the pipe (it's a small whistle that can be played with the hand cupped over the bowel.) Since the officer is saluted by all on deck, the Bos'un mate is permitted to use his/her left hand to render the salute while piping.

    Clever huh?

    I wish I knew that was your order - I would have included some bumper stickers in there. Let me know next time!

    Hmmm...I am not sure who is allowed to salute with their left hand. My first instinct is that it's someone high up, but that would make him/her easy to pick out (and pick off in a war). I don't know - the postmaster general? They seem to do things backwards.

    Also, please let me know what feedback you have on the site. I'd love to hear what you think!

    Hope you're well,

    Thanks for the comment Ron. It's funny - I was just telling a good friend the other day that Rove's been awfully vocal about Hillary's policies and has really been railing her in the media. And I think you are right - he is not to be trusted and is most certainly up to something. He probably left so that he couldn't be associated with this administration leading up to the '08 election - kind of like the swift boat ad folks back in 2004.

    And thanks for signing up! We haven't officially launched the site yet, so we are very happy to have you here. Please feel free to add as much content as you like and to tell your friends about DemocratChat.Net.

    I'll be looking forward to speaking with you again in the future. In the meantime, I wish you all the best!

    Best,

    Vince

    P.S. - That was a great article you sent. Did you ever read Thomas Franks' "What's Wrong with Kansas?"
