Haven't I read that impoverished nobility open their homes

to tourists and overnight guests in order to have enough money to stay on?

That's a reason DNA technology is great.

Did you read of the child reunited with her mother after several years, when the child had been swept away in the Japanese tsunami?

The mothers who knew of that priest and that were told their children had died have recourse now that they never would have had in a previous time.

74 is too old.

I've been there and know that the energy just is not great enough at that age.
I also believe Hillary is/will be too old.

Sorry about how anything is spun; nature decides these things, and you can't fool Mother Nature.

Sorry, cherokee progressive, -

The statement was only person "qualified" - emphasis on qualified.
In fact, VP Biden is the only person in fact one heartbeat away, and you could say, by virtue of his currently holding the office of VP - no one else is qualified, and, according to the Constitution, that is true.

However, using the word "qualified" to mean having the personal qualities - the are several or more that have the mental, temperamental, physical capacity to be president.

As I stated in another line, I believe Joe, for whom I have a high regard, is past the age of being of sufficient interest to the electorate.
(I myself am older than Joe, and know what age feels like.

Columbus, Ohio would be a good choice.

If in Columbus, it would be after the Republicans in Cleveland by several weeks, at least, and throw Ohio back to the Dems.

"Only person qualified to be one heartbeat away" -

That was then, this is now.

Love Joe, but his time has passed for a presidential run.

Sorry to say, but I believe Hillary's time has passed, too.

Nothing against either one, but as a senior I feel free to say, that younger candidates give the feel of energy, progress, etc.

As of now, I'm looking at O'Malley, though I don't know that he's the greatest campaigner.

Am open to others, as well.

He gave his life for the well-being of his fellow man.

A type of martyrdom.
Note five other brothers have the virus as well.

Pray that the antidote that is now being used, though not adequately tested, may become available in greater quantities in the near future.
