I can't believe there is so much vitriol over the hair-splitting differences between the two DLC candidates.

For the most part, the two are politically interchangeable.

Clinton and Obama supporters are not invited to my round-table discussion on who was a better Star Fleet Captain, Benjamin Sisko or Catherine Janeway.



Both of whom would be MUCH better Presidents than Obama, Clinton, Kucinich or Edwards.

And not just because they're from The Future.

Obama and Clinton are both good candidates.

But let them fight all they want.

If Hillary cannot stand against Obama-- or if Obama can't survive what Hillary Clinton does to him-- then they do not have a chance against the Republick Smear Machine.

Breaking News: Barack Obama had a Black Baby!


Sound familiar?

Nothing Hillary's campaign has said, and nothing Obama's campaign has said, comes anywhere CLOSE to what the Republickers do as a matter of routine.

So, we put Hillary and Obama into The Thunderdome Primary.

Two candidates enter, one candidate leaves.

The survivor will probably get to fight Master Blaster (that would be Insane McCain riding on Sylvester Stallone's back).

Now, the rest of you should place your bets, stay out of the ring, and STFU, and support the eventual nominee.

John Edwards would have wanted it that way.

6. Captain Kirk violated The Prime Directive, traveled to quarantined planets...
violated the Temporal Prime Directive, violated The Neutral Zone treaty, allowed Andorian Ale to be kept on his ship and consumed in public functions... if Kirk was running for President, I'd either stay home of vote Romulan!

7. If he was American-born, I'd support Jean-Luc Picard for President
But since Picard is French, I'll have to go with Sisko. Deep Space Nine was a much better series than Voyager.

11. Very true. We gotta get one of them in. And increase our majority in congress. Too much is at stake.
Wait till the budget plan comes out tomorrow. Air America show this morning (not sure who it was) said the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid would be ending the programs forcing 75-80 pct of home care to close, md offices to close, hospitals to close. Also the freezing of nursing home reimbursement through 2013 would force most of those to close. They don't give a shit about people. I want someone in there that will protect the people of this country not ruin us all. What he is proposing makes Reagan look like a rookie. He wants his legacy to be the one that reversed FDR's legacy. His family has always hated FDR.

16. Sisko for prez
Didn't Janeway sentence a Voyager crew member to be put to death? Also Janeway running with Seven was a sop to the unfeasibly-shaped female model vote.
