[Peace-discuss] Biden = business as usual...

[C. G. Estabrook]

Does it matter?  Illinois' electoral votes will surely go to Obama -- it should 
be the safest of safe states for him -- so here we're free to vote for what we 
want, even if we think that McCain might be worse than Obama.

If I vote for president at all, I'll vote for Nader, McKinney -- or Barr, about 
whom Alex Cockburn had a good comment today:

"Face it, if you want to stay true to reason and  conscience, the man to vote 
for is  Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate. Check out from Friday’s 
CounterPunch site his  stance on Georgia, an issue on which  I haven’t yet seen 
anything from Ralph. 'Bad and over-blown historical analogies won't help resolve 
the conflict,' Barr writes, 'If this war was like Adolf Hitler's attack on 
Poland, as some have suggested, Georgia would be occupied, its government would 
be ousted, and its residents would be on their way to concentration camps. No 
one would be traveling to Tbilisi and we wouldn't be talking to Moscow ... The 
most important American interest is defending America; and intervening on behalf 
of Georgia against Russia has nothing to do with defending America.'"
