Presidential Race Tightens

The race for the U.S. Presidency just got a lot more heated and tight, with the contest rapidly becoming just a four person affair: Hillary Clinton and Obama Barrack representing the Democrats, with John McCain or Mitt Romney representing the Republican side of the fence.

In fact, this combination could end up as THE eventual final, contest. Depending on what sort of "deal" might be cut, Either Clinton or Barrack could end up as Vice-President on their respective tickets, and the same is possible for McCain-Romney, if Romney’s campaign starts to pick up some muscle.

Florida vs. Florida
Florida always seems to play a pivotal role in U.S. elections. Two contests ago, it proved to be the difference to George W. Bush. The votes were so close, that the U.S. Supreme Court had to step in after several weeks of controversy to finally sort out and declare a winner.

In this year’s affair, Mitt Romney was originally expected to win Florida, especially after losing in Iowa and New Hampshire. Romney, who is very wealthy and has spent more money than any other candidate, did win Michigan, but it was McCain who upset him in Florida and now McCain is suddenly "the man to beat" heading into Super Tuesday, when half of America will choose this contest’s winners.

McCain — Resurrection
John McCain has run for President before. The wily and determined Arizona Senator is a former Captain who served in Vietnam and was taken prisoner and tortured by the Communists. McCain is a seasoned, veteran politician who is a Republican, but he sides with Democrats or Independents if the cause is right.

While Romney may win a few more rounds, unless he pulls off a miracle on Super Tuesday, the Republican side of this contest will essentially be settled.

. Jokes: Points to Ponder

Here’s a list of genuine mysteries science will never solve.

1. WHY is it that women cannot put their mascara on unless they open their mouth? Women don’t put mascara in their mouth, so WHY do they have to open it all the time to put it on?

2. WHY do men always put light bulbs in the refrigerator, but never in the freezer? Is it too “macho” to take this simple step?

3. WHY do men invent toasters which have settings on them which can burn anything to a crisp so that no human being would ever want to eat it?

4. If a man is alone in the forest, and there is no woman around to hear his opinion and disagree with him, is he wrong?
