I agree that if he had been elected and died in office we woulda had to cross our fingers that Palin didn't turn out to be a joke.. except Mr. McCain is doing better health wise than those people thought. He's lasted long enough to be through half of a second term had he been elected.

Exactly.

I mean it could go either way. He would without a doubt remember what it was like being a POW and maybe ( possibly ) he'd try his best to avoid it happening to others. Really hard to say, but if given a choice I feel better about a man who's at least served in the Military than one who has not. It's always a gamble during an election, but I think that a person that's been deployed has a better understanding of events of war. I probably aint making much sense to anyone other than myself, but I'm used to it.

That isn't an entirely unreasonable idea. It worked with JFK.

No. My wife has one channel that plays nothing but the SOS and how dare anyone change her CSI or any other forensic science/coldcasefiles/somebody died and we gonna solve it show.

But I guess I'm still lucky. When I rode the 4 wheeler up the holler to the neighbors house to have a beer I noticed his wife was glued to the tv watching Finding Bigfoot ( or something like that ) and he showed me that she has a pc booted 24/7 with software running that she believes records ghosts talking. She gets up every hour to read the graph and sleeps very little. Poor guy.

Forensics/procedurals would be good. Around here its the classic sort of sleuths who just have incredible intuition. Perot and Marple and such.

Foyle's War is on here. It's not too bad.

Chancellor Adenauer was 87 years old when he resigned as chancellor in 1963. At last this job was too much for him.
