America will pull out of Iraq before re-instating the draft.

We're racking up the fatalities there, while there's massive torture scandal at Gitmo. 69 US soldiers have died in Iraq so far this month. I support the nuanced Iraq policy of GET THE f**ck OUT NOW.

Justing counting US soldiers, and not other coalition soldiers, mercenaries (some of whom are US citizens), Iraqi policemen, soldiers, and civilians, we have

1656 killed

West Virginia or Nevada will be the closest.  Out of those listed New Hampsiere will probably seethe biggest change as it should wind up in the fairly safe category for Kerry.

North Carolina definatley becomes battleground.  South Carolina could becoe battleground their is lots of fighting going on between the Republican Govenor and Republican dominated legislature which could damage the party in South Carolina

No matter who wins the primary, Alaska seems pretty posed for a Democratic win Knowles is in vey good shape

The recent polls have shown the gaps closing in North Carolina, and West Virginia isn't exactly a safe state

Point: Smash is delusional

So? A lot of Republicans were off in their predictions in the 1936, 1948, and 1998 elections.

Even if a draft were to happen I'm basically already out of rangel. They count your age as what you turn in that calendar year, and since my birthday is very late in the year that means I'm considered 22 by that standard. And since it'd be basically impossible to get a draft running up in this year anyway, I'd be 23 by the time it could be reinstated at the earliest. Very unlikely a draft would ever reach that age. But it's a moot point since the draft won't be reinstated anyway, and this bill will have zero effect on anything like the last one, no political effect, did not pass, nothing.

I heard they were going to draft starting at age 20, going up to 25, and only then going back to 18 and 19.
