Tom Foreman is ALWAYS hilarious!! I LOVE every Raw Politics that he does!!

I really liked McCains answer to him being so old and was he afraid of dying in office! It was funny!! Maybe he needs to show more of that side of himself more often!!

And Clinton beling called First Laddie...I won't even touch that one! LOL

Maybe to spare us all from the big wow of all this pre-election daily soap opera, we could hold the election tomorrow. Then we'd know right away if the starring role goes to 'First Laddie' or the big guy who brings "Law and Order" into our living rooms. Choices, Choices..So many choices and script rewrites..Yes, when it's all over we may ALL need to check into "General Hospital" for a rest. Take Care

Tom/AC360:
Thanks for keeping politics "lite". The decision made in the name of politics can be rather humorous.

The power struggle between the states for the earliest possible primary has led me to think Americans may be taking this next election (and primary) seriously. If it gets people out to vote, more to the states who are competing for the spotlight.

If Indiana is next to throw in a bid for a premature primary, I don't know how Tom would make fun of us. We don't even know what a Hoosier is, and we live here.

Raw Politics is a segment worth watching; it always leaves you with a smile on your face or a puzzled look because the political world is so bizarre.

I enioy watching "360 Raw politics"
Tom is surely seem like a fun and delightful person....

Korean presidential candidates'
campaign boom is very high
in Korea, too.
They get along, they disagree, they are keen competition... but that's a election campaign.

Candidates' computer graphic synthetic pictures are very funny.
I'm deeply grateful to 360 staff :D

*one question*...
What is the "Raw Politics" background music??
I was always curious to know about it.
The music is energetic.
The Raw politics and the music have
a perfect harmony. ^^
Thanks a lot and take care.

Bill Clinton will only be a "First Laddie" if Hillary wins office. We'll see about that. I'm disappointed in the lack of coverage on humanitarian issues.

I absolutely love the idea of having an African American and a woman in the office. Regardless of who is vice and who is president. Although, typically thoughout history the first lady takes on the higher moral position of the Whitehouse, I am intrigued by the idea of Mr. Bill Clinton taking on this role. Afterall, his behavior in office did highly effect my middle and high school years.

I thought McCain's response was great. It was a disrespectful question and I thought he handled it well. It doesn't hurt to show a little humor, I bet lots of people liked it!
See ya Tom...
