    Hahaha, if it takes you twenty years to find out, shame on you.

    You find out what good is pretty easily.

    R2K, I cannot express my dissapointment enough that you tried to defuse this one. Nothing is as funny as watching the "internet tough guy" routine.

    #1 I agree with you about the age of Hillary Clinton. We will need to see how well she ages over the next few years. So far she is aging well and does not appear out of touch or senile.

    #2 I don't think her vote on Iraq is going to matter. The war in Iraq will have been done for sometime, and the continued issues with Islamic terrorists will only make her vote less of an issue. Besides, the way the Obama team has handled the middle east situation will make her vote seem tame in comparison.

    #3 Most of your links were Clinton versus Obama. I don't think that is relevant, as it is very unlikely that Hillary will face a once every 20 years politician like Obama. Currently (although it is early) polls show 75% of Democrats support Hillary in 2016.

    #4 The fact that she failed the DC bar 45 years ago is irrelevant, and does not mean she is or is not smart. The bar passage rate in DC is only around 50%.

    #5 Not a good executive? Was Obama considered a good executive prior to the election? The healthcare attempted reform over 20 years ago is viewed as having been too soon.

    I don't know if Hillary will win in 2016, but she should be the favorite. She has already been veted and has a great support staff around her. Her husband is a HUGE advantage for her. She will essentially have twice the ability to campaign that other politicians will have. Her funding will be huge and the roots she has established are about as broad as possible.

    If she wants the Democratic nomination it is her unless health or a national disaster occurs. At this time there is no one special on the Republican side (granted it is early).

    Things can always change, look at Obama, whom came out of relative obscurity.

    If I were a Republican, I would far rather see Biden, Warren or Cuomo nominated than Hillary.

    #1 No, I never asked my parents their opinion on my wife concerning marriage, nor did my wife. We had to make the decision, we were the ones that had to live with one another. If I had asked my parents, they would tell me to do what makes me happy.

    #2 No, I never wish my wife was a virgin when I married her, why would I? I don't view sex as evil or shameful. She dated many people prior to me, and slept with men prior to me, and if anything, I view it as a positive. She knows what she does and does not like or want from experience. As for myself, no, I don't regret sleeping with women other than my wife. I learned a lot from of it, it was usually a lot of fun, and I even loved some of the women.

    #3 I never said your experiences or less valid or wrong. I simply am saying that your perspective is different than most people. Most people do not go to Seminary school, or meet their wife in Seminary school, or tell their father in law that they want to court his daughter. Therefore, your perspective can be different than many many people. Most people do not go on Missions.

    I am sure you are a good guy, and honestly, we would probably get along well if we meet each other. I have taken jabs at you, and you have for the most part taken it well.

    I think Spitzer could have been a good candidate, too bad we have so many puritans in this country. I personally don't care that he had fun with a couple hookers, he seems extremely smart (just like Bill). What could have been.

    Really? I suppose that is why Hilary Clinton raised record amount of money and got more votes than any democrat in primaries than one notable exception. Hillary Clinton was a great candidate who had the misfortune of running into truly historic candidate. Almost no body talked about Hillary Clinton standing by her man in 2008 or in about the last 10 years.

    Also I find it interesting that someone with the nickname "bobmarley" thinks that infidelity is such a big issue.

    Anyway my own personal feeling is that Hillary Clinton will not be the Democrat's general candidate in 2016. This is just speculation but I do think that she is done with being a candidate and isn't that interested in the grind of running or in being president.

    I get the feeling that the 2016 Democrat is someone who isn't that well known right now.

    Spitzer would've made an awful candidate. While he certainly is intelligent he lacks charisma and sleeping with prostitutes isn't something that can completely doom someone's popularity when you are a moralizing and crusading stick in the mud like Spitzer was before then it looks awful.

    Also consider that many politicians cheat on their spouses because they find willing people who are attracted to them yet Spitzer had to go out and find a high priced pro. That right there should tell you about how much charisma Spitzer has.

    And do you agree with Neil DeGrasse Tyson on a lot of things?

    Personally I don't care that much that you picked "bobmarley" as a nickname but you really don't see any irony in doing so?

    Your positions are like if Deckard, the poster, hated science fiction.

    Incredible irony in a bible thumper using pics of an astrophysicist because that's the face he'd be making at a lot of your religious posts.

    One could argue she came closer than anyone else has to keeping Obama out of the White House.
