The 5th. The day after the elections.

No doubt. I am actually looking forward to it. I am really interested in what the statistical demographics are going to look like. Who voted for who and from where. I imagine the population clusters for the Demoncrats will not be unlike 2000 or 2004. Same for the Republickins. Something will be throwing one side over to a winner. Unless it is a landslide by NoBama (possible) the only other choice would be a slim win by McCain (possible), and in the end we will remain essentially what we are today, as on this forum, deeply divided.

Merc I do find your mangling of Obama's name both cheap and wearing. I'd say the same if someone was doing it to McCain or Palin and posted it as often as you do. It's schoolyard stuff and does nothing to improve the points you are trying to make.

*Nods* I have the same response to the constant mangling of Hillary's name into Hitlery. It's vile. I don't care what your political grief with her is, the reason she's so hated is that she's a woman who got uppity.

No, she's also hated for the things she did, or tried to do, while she was uppity there.

*chuckles* touche :P

Yeah, I guess so. But the level of bile seems more extreme with Hillary than it is/was with Clinton. Looking in from the outside, that is. I only have limited access to what the American media is up to, so that may reflect more how it was channelled and packaged at this end, rather than how it looks on the ground *shrugs*.

@Merc. Ok. But now my interest is piqued. Who do you hate/despise more, Bill or Hillary?

No, the reason she is hated is because her last name is Clinton.

Yeah, she's got a lot of nerve using the same name as the best president since Harry Truman.

A forth with a fifth. That is the only solution. Washed down with a pint.
