My concern here.

I don't hear much if anything at all about who is running for the senate seats and congress . It's not all about the presidential election but this is where all the focus is.

On top of this what about the Iraq and Afghanistan mess and Pakistan , India and Russia , Iran , Israel and many more countries that are about to explode?

These elections and all the focus being just on then and for two years are becoming a distraction while who knows what is going on with Cheney and Bush and what they are planning.

I don't take this lightly we need to focus on these things 01/20/2009 is a while away. What about right now, it's all off the radar.

1. I was thinking about this yesterday

Most important is Speaker of the House. That is third in line of succession. If McCain wins and dies while in office and for some reason Palin can't fulfill the duties of president, the speaker is president.

Democrats must retain control of the house.
