It will be either Guiliani or McCain.

I hope you're wrong Stumpy. I really do. I don't think they'll be each other's running mates #1, and I don't think they would survive the general election #2. I hope the American people can see how serious it is in this country and the lip service those two are producing could result in mass killings throughout the world.

Cheers

You paint a bleak picture, Stumpy!!!

It is starting to look like Clinton v McCain this November. For some strange reason I can't believe Hilary will be elected President. Maybe, I am being optimistic but who ever wins is going to inherit one big economic mess.

The thing is that all these candidates tell us they are going to do this or that, but have no reality of what situations will be found on entering the oval office.

I have went off politics at the moment due to the fact that my current Prime Minister spouts off about how great it is to live in a free and democratic country, fine words one would think, until its realised that this is the first British Prime Minster never to be elected to the position.

He did consider the idea of holding an election when Tony Blair stepped down, however when he realised that he could end up with a reduced mandate or worse still lose the election he decided it was best not to call an election.

To be honest Brown is on borrowed time his last couple of years will be like the last Labour government of Callaghan in the 1970's strikes over pay, rampant inflation and a major economic dowturn and recession.

In terms of US I think Mc Cain could be the winner over Clinton but check out the VP spot as if could prove crucial.

Hi Jim

I wasnt singing Mc Cain's praises. He just is the lesser of two evils. The thought of four years of Hillary is pretty daunting but on the bright side she is being handed a poisoned chalice.

I hope she wins the nomination, makes it easier for the republicans to win. As far as McCain goes I am not high on him either. I like Huckabee better or even Fred Thompson(has no chance though). But then again I am not to high on any candidate from any party at the moment.

I see Slick Ollie is up to his old tricks. He is like a one man film industry on Presidents and Vietnam.

Stone to make President Bush film

Stone has already directed three films based on the Vietnam War

Director Oliver Stone's next film will be about US President George W Bush, he has told Daily Variety.
Stone, 61, said he wanted to make "a fair, true portrait" of the president that would contain surprises for "Bush supporters and his detractors".
He said he was in talks with No Country For Old Men star Josh Brolin to play President Bush.
Stone has previously made films about former presidents John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon.
Stone said he was currently securing financial backers for the film but hoped production would begin in April.
How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?

He said the script, written by Stanley Weiser - his co-writer for the 1987 Wall Street film - had been completed before the start of the ongoing US writers' strike in November.
In the past, Stone has been critical of Mr Bush's "overreaction" to the 9/11 attacks, saying the president had "set the country back 10 years".
But speaking to Daily Variety, he said he would not give a personal opinion of Mr Bush because "the film-maker has to hide in the work".
"Here I'm the referee and I want a fair, true portrait of the man," he said.
"How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?"
The film would include a look at the president's "belief that God personally chose him to be president of the United States and his coming into his own with the stunning, pre-emptive attack on Iraq", he added.
'Movie-star swagger'
Stone said he was hopeful of securing the services of Brolin - who has also been seen recently in American Gangster.
"Josh is actually better looking than Bush but has the same drive and charisma that Americans identify with Bush, who has some of that old-time movie-star swagger," Stone added.
It's a shame they lost faith in the film and that they unemployed 500 people right before Christmas

Oliver Stone on halted film Pinkville

He said he was upset when film company United Artists halted production of his Pinkville film - based on the 1968 My Lai massacre in Vietnam - at the end of last year.
United Artists cited the writers' strike as the reason for that - despite the script already being finished.
But Stone said: "On Pinkville, I had a great script and one of the best casts on any of my films with 40 young actors and Bruce Willis. "It's a shame they lost faith in the film and that they unemployed 500 people right before Christmas. We were three weeks from shooting." He said he wanted to revive Pinkville in the future.

OMG!!!

That is just ridiculous!!! Oliver Stone must be smoking crack!!!
