I heard on CNN in an interview with Gephardt, that his days in Congress are nearly over. I guess he's not running again. Maybe he's retiring.

What are all the right-wingers afraid of? We recently legalized same-sex marriage in most provinces in Canada, including my home province, and everthing is okay. In fact, I haven't even noticed any difference. To have same-sex marriage doesn't mean that all straight people have to divorce and marry people of the same sex. THERE IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF!!!

I think He would win if Jeb dosn't run/does poorly. Anyway McCain would then win the election because he attracts Dems and Independants as well. Yeah...he's practically more popular with Dems than Republicans, which ain't exactly that great for him in the primaries.

I suspect Gephardt will run again. He's had a lot of experience over the years, and ran several times before, but never made it past the primaries. Plus he seems to be still young (what? early 50s-ish), and has time for a few more kicks at the can. I don't know if he will actually win the primaries though. For Republicans, McCain all the way! Oh, and with that amendment that lets people not born in the US run--Go Granholm! A canuc

LoL @ Gephardt or Dean.....the next Democratic candidate will be none other than Billary Clinton. Whatever. I don't care. Whoever is running against McCain will get their ass kicked anyway.

Well, I'm still somewhat in denial, but I think I've moved on from "no more war '04" to "can't wait till '08." How badly do you have to screw up to get defeated? And would it have been any different if they had Dean? Hopefully it will be McCain vs. Gephardt or Dean in 2008 or some other win-win scenario.

I got 7,876,800 with my Howard Dean/Ed Broadbent team against Abe Lincoln and Joe Clark. Dean and Broadbent aren't these cheap "perfect 10 characters," but they are pretty good, and complement each others' strengths and weaknesses well. And Joe Clark isn't that good.

Thanks, but most characters that are played are not going to have that much stamina. I'll see what I can do. Usually when I play I try to build up the HQs really quick, getting to level 2s in the big states. I usually have a budget around 300,000/turn. Its not enough, especially when the computer can make do with only 5 HQs, none

I beat him the other day, but I was using my killer Howard Dean/Ed Broadbent team (Dean has good stamina, money, fundraising to build up HQs in start, Ed has good experience, and personal qualities (credibility, integrity, compassion, etc.). I focused on HQs and political capital with spare stamina for the first 25-30 weeks, then got endorsements and TV ads and made a comeback (truth be told, I saved at week 39, got Al Gore'd (win popular vote, lose F

Actually, they had a media recount, and had they (election officials) counted all the votes, Gore wins. Also, there mere many African-American (predominately Democratic) voters wrongly prevented from voting, so Gore would have won by a wider margin. The problem is the system. Since it is based on who wins what state, your vote only matters if you live in a swing state. Voting for Kerry in Texas or Utah isn't going to change anything, same as voting

Yeah. If only Kerry could get his act together and stop running this horrible campaign, there would be a descent President who knows the meaning of the word diplomacy, which is something that was lacking for the past few years.

But had they counted ALL the votes, Gore would have won, but since he only asked for a partial recount, it is partially his own stupid fault. For me to be happy, all they have to do is count all the votes and declare the winner President. Is that too much to ask? Wait...no...Better idea: let the man who gets the most votes win.

He would introduce a constitutional amendment to ban Netscape To win the election, he could Ctrl-Alt-Delete Florida voters. Sound familiar? He's so rich he could just buy the election anyway, like they did in 2000.

I know that HQs are important, but I can't see building that many to level 3 status. Sure they bring in the big bucks, but they cost $1.75 million to build. Do you build up gradually to start with 10 level ones, then build 10 level 2? and move from there? I just think the overall cost is too much. Its crippling in the short term.
