If koan did so then he is as confused as McCain is. On one hand, McCain supports the oil companies by advocating off shore drilling. But his pick for VP is against the oil companies. Seems to me "I was for it before I was against it." scenario. As Kerry pointed out, McCain needs to debate and finish the debate with himself before he decides to debate Barack.

Bush, Cheney, Schwarzenegger won't attend GOP President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger are all skipping the Republican National Convention. Bush and Cheney are focusing on Hurricane Gustav, which is rapidly approaching the Gulf Coast. Schwarzenegger is staying home to deal with a standoff with California legislators over the state budget. All three had been scheduled to speak Monday night at the convention. Presidential candidate John McCain was flying to Mississippi to be briefed on the hurricane, but was expected to return to the convention city later.

Jim: Lemmie guess...you voted for the Democrat even though he was backed by the oil companies? KOAN: absolutely-lol!! Tony Knowles was not crooked. In fact he was a great governor. Had he been elected to the Senate he would have become a great senator. He was like John Kennedy. Very smart, decent and a progressive thinker. He also appointed the best and the brightest to run the government. He put the two most competant and empathetic people in the state in charge of the prison system. Now most people would not see the significance of this. But prisons are very often run by sadists and society always has an obligation to be compassionate to those they put in prison. The two people Knowles appointed are good friends of mine and they told me the horror stories of prison officials in other states especially states like Texas, LA and other sourthern states where prison cruelty rife. In fact the commisioner told me the corruption and brutality in many southern prisons was "scary".
