Of course the media with John Mc Cain has their own version of "Elevision" with him. They are as "embedded reporters" in his campaign. They travel with him and they know him and relate to his particular vibes such that they know that when he "slips up" it doesn't really mean anything. Mc Cain has gotten on the "good sides" of reporters by giving the reporters everything a reporter wants. He is candid with them and he tells them long elaborate stories and reminisences. As such he has "money in the bank" with them. He has political capital with them and from time to time he needs to "spend" that by their not jumping all over him when he makes a slip-up like he did with Al Qaida in Iran. He has their good will. However the local media in Arizona knows him to well and they are aware of his fierce temper and are unwilling to give him a "pass" on this issue. But the national media according to one Air America source gives Mc Cain the best press any candidate has gotten in the last forty years. And there have been questions about Mc Cain. They say he was born in Panama and not really an American citizen who can run for President. They say he's spend 58 million on his campaign when under subsidized spending rules he was only entitled to 54 million. They overlook his temper. He's never asked about his involvement as one of the Keating five. In fact, right now were I to be compelled to cast my ballot for President today I'd vote "None of the Above". I don't think there is a one that would fill the bill. I'd like to bring back some of the old ones like Byden or Edwards. Either Huckibee or Romney are more appealing as candidates when it comes to the economy. Mc Cain is said to have been quoted as saying that "I understand why people might not to vote for me if they are concerned about the economy, but might want to vote for one of the others". This will be a campaign issue. On the other hand you have all this blood letting in the democratic party. Now there are reprinted anti-Isriali articles put out by Obama's church. I guess some people there buy the PLO line Israel should be drive into the sea. Both Bill and Hillary have joined Rush Limbaugh in saying "political contentiousness is not bad for the American system but is in fact healthy". We'll see. Just think that a year from now we'll know who the president is and what the issues are and whatever they are now will likely seem like nothing a year from now. I bet you'd like a sneak preview of one year from now. The concept of both space portals and time portals is a fascenating one. It would be neat to have a system like the Iconians on Star Trek where you can just step off into a portal and then be on someone elses space ship, or else step through a portal in time like that "library" episode on another Star Trek. In some ways the future is so close you can almost taste it. One has the distinct impression if you knew what things would be like a year from now you've be in a much better position to make an intelligent political decision right now. (Selah)
