how true !!

why they are all the same. Anyone wanting to be involved in politics should be removed from society and shot imo

have they a choice ?.

The person who wins the nomination does have a choice on who should be on the ticket with them. However, the choice is really dependent on who could help them win an election and hating each other may not be enough of a reason to choose them.

I think if Obama wins, Edwards will be VP. Properly Obama if Clinton wins. I do hope the democrates vote for Obama, I think he has a better chance of getting the Dems back in Office than Clinton does

Is the US really the last superpower or is it a superpower in its dieing days? China as the major providor of goods to the country is taking $$$ from it on a daily basis, the dependancy on foreign oil means $$$ are going to the Arab states daily.

The Banking crisis on sub-prime was only as small as it was so far (and that is not that small) because Sovereign investment funds from Arab and Pac-Rim countries have provided more working capital to those banks, similarly SocGen has issued more share capital to a sovereign investment fund to prevent it going bust.

The world is currently in the middle of a fairly large transfer of assets from America and Europe to BRIC and other developing nations. Life will be interesting for the next few years.

Democrat heavyweight Senator Edward Kennedy has come out in support of Obama:

Well in the southern states Clinton will win far far more than Obama, as the south is still anti black.

The only issue I have with Obama is that he proposes to put all NASA's projects on a back burner and use the money to fund science education.Sounds like a good idea but it means that when the young scientists start looking for work they won't have the ultimate scientists dream to aim for.

"the South is still anti-black"?

These are the Primaries - only Democrats (& sometimes also Independents) can vote in the Democrat Primaries.

Many African-Americans vote Democrat.

Southern states may be..."Southern"...but they also have large African-American populations...populations which Obama is very popular with.

Obama won South Carolina...he is expected to also take Alabama & Georgia...

Strangly I can think of NO disadvantages of space exploration and loads of advantages.This PC I'm using to type a message to you for one.Without the space race our computers would have taken a lot longer to reduce down in size from the size of a whole ground floor to a desktop model.Also without the satellite system(courtesy of space exploration) we would have no TV,no mobile phones and no way to measure and explore the ravages of global warming,hurricanes and other catastrophic disasters.I am so thankful for non stick frying pans.

To compare what NASA does with the event of Hiroshima is somewhat ridiculous considering what benefits the whole world has derived from our forays into space.

However this is going wildly off topic so I suggest if you want to discuss this issue that we start another thread.
