Your thoughts requested:   Think of the film High Noon---one of the (if not the) greatest Western ever made. More a moral tale than a Western.

McCain wants to call off the debate Friday so he can concentrate on the economic issues. Suppose the Gary Cooper character in High Noon asked the protagonists to take a later train---think it would work?

Obama is not "the bad guys" coming into town but, rather, on the train and a good guy. Just role reversal here---McCain ---the alleged leader--has to concentrate on only one issue at a time. Multi tasking is, I suppose, a new-age phenominum that Obama can relate to.

Sarah, of course, can also multi-task--lots of kids to wean, diplomats to meet, and dress right. Diplomatic talk seemed to be mostly about her kids and those of the diplomats. As Jon Stewart said"...gee, Karzai's kid has a strange name--not like Sarah's child---Trig".

How about another thought about Sarah and her experience. Let us say she has all the experience needed to be Pres. because of her being the mayor of a town and all that managerial expertise--forgetting the petty vendattas she engaged in there and as governor. Would you, in good conscience, if you were a New Yorker, vote for her over someone like Koch, Bloomberg, LaGuardia, etc; (I omit Giulliani--another discussion on that >)*&^) who governed a city of millions over a city of a few thousand---or a governor of a state with a huge oil revenue that feeds their much smaller budget than NY state and the governors that have had to cope with that and all the intricacies of the state's various relationships with its major--and I emphasize "major" cities.

On a serious note. Her selection was just another example of McCain's lack of independence and integrity as he panders to his alleged support by the ultra right, the evangelicals, and totally tunnel visioned folks that see only a flag, war, and yell USA USA as we go down the economic and diplomatic tube.

You have to know he wanted Lieberman. I don't care for Lieberman; but McCain should have stuck to what he supposedly believed in. Hopefully his chickens come home to roost--and Sarah is no spring Chicken for sure.

Anology? That sounds a bit dodgy.

I liked the original movie ... with Gary Cooper.

I'm rather getting tired, bored of this serial rerun analogy of McCain, Obama, and the resto of the B grade cast.

biLL *Yawn* ... turning the channel ... to the Nikon forum.

Anology is the science of knowing how to detect a-holes, obviously. Mudcat is a great training ground for future practitioners of Appplied Anology.

Sarah will show up just in time to shoot the last bad guy in the back with a shotgun, McCain will assume the presidentcy, and we'll all live happily ever after.

regardless of the lackless characters in this boring version of High Noon ... in the end, the sun will set on the horizon.

Lessee, I heard O'Cain and McBama today...

I'd already heard of the Texan O'Bama bumber sticker, made'm sound Irish...

OK, back to the thread: Obama is to McCain as white hat is to black?

About Sarah's son's name; Where I come from, a Trig is a noun. An object that is used to block the wheel of a wagon to prevent it from moving.Maybe that is a good name for a republican; it prevents progress.

It's a waste of a perfectly good film to try to cram that story into it. Don't waste your time, it doesn't work. Too many things get changed so it is no longer an epic.

Current campaign sounds more like it should be a Noel Coward play. Or a short story by W. Somerset Maugham, or a minor novel by Hemingway. Or a dark comedy by Woody Allen.

Fer F**k's Sake NO!!!!

If she let's off a shotgun within a mile of McCain, SHE'LL BE BLOODY PRESIDENT!!

You need about 100 agents on 24/7 shifts, just making SURE he gets NO surprises.

                   That would make McCain the "Old Man and the Sea," and Obama the great fish that will be eaten by sharks before they can get to port.

Obama isn't bleeding. Far from it. McCain is the one holding his breath, hoping that all of his past activities Re the economy and the hair-brained choice of Palin don't come back to bite him. He's trying not to put blood in the water.

As long as he gets all of those Hillary voters, that's what's important.
