McCain is out touting his plan to increase troop levels in Iraq...
The White House is delaying its anouncement that the new Iraq plan will be to increase troop levels in Iraq, in contradiction with the Iraq Study Group's recomendations. That James Baker must be a terrorist lover!

Way too early to tell.
The democrats have a modern history of nominating dark horse candidates. Two years out from the elections of 1992, 1988, and 1976, virtually no one had ever heard of Clinton, Dukkakis, or Carter.
True, thats why I called it a prediction and not a statement of fact.
We will see, but I think the days of the Dark Horse are over. I knew of B. Clinton well beofre 92'. I always considered him a front runner. I supported Jerry Brown, but always considered Clinton the likely eventual winner.

from what I remember, many pundits considered liberal senator Paul Tsongas the front runner for the 92 nomination. Most people didn't think a governor from a little state like Arkansas had a chance.
I never gave Tsongas a change. Liberal Senator from MASS, with a funny name, just after the Dukakis disaster....
why can't we subdue a country with only 2 million people with 150k troops??? could it be cuz we don;t really want to yet?
now we have iraq muslims fighting each other AND palestinians fighting each other...coincidence?? nah; good for our side?? maybe............think about it.........

Interesting there hip, quite possibly true, time will tell.
I feel that in any case McCain is slated to be in the Repub primary. Of course it is early yet.
the question would be if it is good or bad for mccain to accept an appointment to VP; would it be better for him to go into the election as a sitting VP, or would it be more likely to turn out like it did for bore???? mabe he'd bve better off distancing himself from shrub.........but how would it llok for him to turn down the VP job and then run for president?????

Exactly. And if he's taken "into the fold", as it were, it would be political suicide (remember Jack Kemp?), given first that perception and second the standing of the current administration with the voting public.
