Inside the Tent: Is North Carolina in play?
No way, says North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr. “But I understand why (Democrats) say it’s in play,” he tells Inside the Tent contributor John Steward. “If you eliminate Virginia and North Carolina, it’s hard for Barack Obama to get to 270 (electoral votes).”

The real truth is that, as in Britain, after a couple of terms of one party, it is good for everybody to have a change. It keeps up the pretence that democracy is working, if nothing else. The real pity of these elections is that the choice to be made is an invidious one – neither candidate has any real merit at all. Where are the great statesmen with genuine stature and principles? Surely there must be two such people in a country of more than 250 million people? Unfortunately they ain’t the people on offer.
In Europe we’re not doing any better: Sarkozy is an appalling spiv, Blair was a clever scheming opportunist, and Brown… well, the less we say about him the better.

Do they miss Yellow Fever?
Sometimes the cure can render us forgetful of the disease, but maybe in this case Bush will go down as the most notoriously bad president of all time.
Lord Byron famously said of his mother ‘How can I call her mother when she is not my friend?’.
The same sentiment applies here.
How can you call Bush a good president when he is not even a friend to the American public?
He will NOT be missed at all!

What reuters should do is to report that Biden is going to claim that he is sick sometime in October and pull out of the race so that Hillary can take over as VP. This is yet another manipulative scheme by the Obama camp and the Obamedia obviously looks the other way. Why don’t you report on this?

SO I guess Vets and the 2nd ammendment don’t go together. This is the United States of America where you have the right to say what you want. I don’t understand people who pass judgement on things that they have no idea about. Travel the world before you claim that this was a just war. Hell open your eyes. You don’t join the army to fight in wars you join the army to serve your country. Every man/women in the Armed services will tell you 2 things about war, 1) War is the last option and 2) There is never a winner when it comes to War. If you don’t understand that well……………..
