Looking at this simply through the prism of suitability, I have to believe a better candidate could have been chosen. I am not excited by either candidate, but can't help but feel that the last 8 yrs have been a disaster, especially after the 8 very good Clinton years, and John McCain is likely to continue along the same path. Obama... who knows, but the possibility of hope remains for me with him, especially after picking Joe Biden as his VP candidate. <BR/><BR/>Savvysavvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963536749086558366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-55131362143436408562008-08-31T20:44:00.000-04:002008-08-31T20:44:00.000-04:00@ Gail: I know snakes are beneficial, but they sti...@ Gail: I know snakes are beneficial, but they still bug the crap out of me.<BR/><BR/>@ K: Thanks.

I think I know what you mean about people's attitude toward nature and wildlife. My greatgrandfather was a farmer and he hated most wildlife: snakes, crows, foxes, coyotes, groundhogs, etc. His fear of snakes was irrational, however, since snakes are really helpful (they eat rodents).Gail Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977748417163975718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-52301441966164156092008-08-31T18:06:00.000-04:002008-08-31T18:06:00.000-04:00@ Brazen: I totally agree with you.

We probably won't agree on much politically, and that's fine, because I am positive you can defend your position. BTW, I'm all over the map idealogically. While I tend to lean toward Conservativism, I'm far from 100%. In fact, I tend to change my view as new information comes forth.<BR/><BR/>@ Gail: I want to find out more, of course, but so far she seems to be ok.

I think it is great that she is attractive, wears glasses, runs, is a mother, and that she has a career. There seems to be some controversy about her youngest child.<BR/><BR/>I don't have high opinions about any politician (power corrupts!) -- I guess I am getting jaded as I get older. <BR/><BR/>The one thing that I do have against her is that I have heard (here-say that I need to reevaluate) that she is an anti-environmentalist and she supports the killing of wolves. My opinion is that the wolves are intelligent carnivores and deserve their place in nature. They are, after all, related to our precious doggy friends).<BR/> <BR/>I have no ill-will towards her. Her entry into the presidential race again brings a woman into the spotlight as a serious contender for the White House. Hopefully she is an improvement over Hillary (another opinion!).Gail Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977748417163975718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-77123770810316688022008-08-31T12:14:00.000-04:002008-08-31T12:14:00.000-04:00Crotchety: Over time it's become apparent you and ...Crotchety: Over time it's become apparent you and I see reside on different sides of the El Politico Fence.<BR/><BR/>That being said- teachers appreciate BRAINS.
