Betzee,

OK. I don't think the Republicans would be able to spin it to their advantage. But I see what you are saying.

Betzee,

You're not suggesting that the RNC would actually consider mounting a terrorist attack on the US, are you? I can see that idea being put forward in a brainstorming session. I'd hate to think that it would merit any serious thought.

wanderlust,

A lot of people continue to think we would have won that war if we had just kept on counting. Is Afghanistan the same? I don't know but I don't think so.

Eisenhower once stated, I believe, that we could not have elections in Vietnam because the people would…

I tend to agree with McCain about the truth of his aide's comments.

Another attack on the US before the election might tend to convince voters that billions of dollars and the tanker cars of bloodshed have not made America safer.

If they are convinced of that, it seems to…

This comment is a sequel to the equally inane cry of "no terrorist attack on US soil for the last 7 years!"

I think it's time to have a peek at Cheney's secret energy plan. Before we make a new plan we should see how well we performed against the old one.

And wouldn't it be strange if things were actually now going according to plan? That would be good to know,…

nigelboy,

I don't think that the point about Spud Webb was who was the greatest dunker. I think the point was that Spud could do what taller men could not.

Sarge,

It's my turn to be serious. westurn has given you one example (Spud Webb) of a person who could out-jump people 10cm taller than himself. I'll give you another--Michael Jordan. The height and ability to jump are not correlated, not directly anyway.

Anyway, you didn't answer the other points.…

Sarge,

I tend to agree with westurn. Height is an advantage, sure. But jumping ability compensates for lack of height.

Your argument about weight classes in judo, boxing and so on is a point well taken. However, these sports are contests of skill and physical strength and there are no…

I don't think that McCain was the first to mention the need for speculative oil trading reform. This idea has been around for a while. He might have been the first of the two candidates to "mention" it publicly, but that would require a rather exhaustive search of both candidates…
