Well, if even people who are not usually democratic voters feel this way, somehow they can be prevailed upon, for the sake of the country and the party--my understanding is that they do not get along...also, I imagine Obama would be concerned about being overshadowed by the power couple of Clinton & Clinton....but who knows....
Yes, but, I am not comfortable electing a president based on the idea that it is his running mate who may end up with the job before the four years is out.....not comfortable with that...
Hmmm.....I don't know what Malta is like, but I thought there was an original iindigenous population, no? I wonder if there is a traditional cusine, including breakfast.....research time??? Too sad if it has been completely lost.
"I think some people have overly romantic ideas about marrying someone without the ability to sustain a relationship."
My commnent is not meant as 'judgement' of anyone but as something I would certainly consider as part of the considerations I would be making in choosing a life partner. For myself, I've been in long term relationships and could have chosen to marry but didn't because I believed, correctly, it was not a good idea. My romantic idea about marriage is that it should happen one time and last for all of my life--very idealistic I know, but I think, given the correct union of two people, it is possible. If you knew me, you would know that I expend an inordinate amount of thought on self-reflection and 'learning' from my mistakes--one reason I have turned down some very 'romantic' opportunities as I wait for a more sustainable relationship.
Of course, my attitude may be based on age and experience. Do you think older people are more flexible about this issue than younger ones? Actually, the woman I know who has been married 4 times is only in her early thirties.....Wow, married 4 times already...You'd think that would send out major warning signals to any man...but she has no trouble finding men who want to marry her....interesting. She's pretty, but not fantastically beautiful or anything, pretty normal, but, I imagine, very charming....
Anyway, the question is, does the attitude about marrying someone who has 3 or 4 past marriages change as people get older?
What is the limit on marriages and divorces you would consider when considering someone for a possible mate? Once, twice, three times, four or more?
Does how many times a person has been married affect whether or not you would be interested in a serious relationship with him/her?
I know two people who have been married and divorced 4 times and are looking again. They are charming people, fairly average looking, but very charming and romantic. They always seem to find a lot of people interested in them and never lack for romantic partners. I wonder about the people who want to marry them. After the third marriage, I'd have quite a few reservations....
Knowing these people, I see them as die hard romantics, always believing in romance and when one relationhsip doesn't work out, they move on to the next.
I would not be interested in anyone who has already been married and divorced twice....I would be skeptical that he could sustain a long lasting relationship, based on his history.
That's a good point, about Reagan. However, being in one's 70's---there is still going to be a limit on energy, physical and mental, that a younger person would not expperience to the same extent.
I think anyone would be dissembling to say anything other than yes they do matter. However, they are not the only thing that matters, and not the most important thing by far....unless you are a fool.
I think he is too old. US Pres. has got to be an amazingly stressful and complex job.....Reagan was overly dependent on his advisors, I think McCain would be too--just energy wise, physical and mental energy.
