Heh, kind of a less-extreme version of Bin Laden campaigning against Bush in '04...

Seriously, I am curious as to what Castro and Bin Laden were each thinking...Do they realize the effect of endorsing a candidate?

My only guess is that they know how unpopular they are and used reverse psychology to entice us to vote for the other guy.

.....and the beginning of the end for the Dems chances to claim the White House just got thrown into the fire.

Wow. Dig yourselves outta that, Senators.

There is great irony in Castro commenting on elections. As if he would know how free elections work.

Now, if we could get Iran and North Korea on line, as well as a few African despots, that would be a proud ticket of endorsement.

That endorsement makes me smile and one hopes someboy like a bunch of boat boys make certain everybody remembers this crowning achievement.

Just imagine if FDR had had Hitler's and Stalin's endorsement.

Not so fast. If Bin Laden, Castro, Chavez et al indicate they would like an Obama/Clinto ticket, maybe they are sending a message that the reason they won't work with us is because they hate the republicans.

This may be an opportunity to forge forward to worldwide peace. After all the North Koreans worked with Madeline Albright. Who knows if Gore had been elected instead of Bush, perhaps the North Koreans would be a democratic society right now.

9/11 might not have happened because Gore wouldn't have gotten us into the Iraq war and with his environmental concerns there is a good chance the Islamic Fundamentalists would have come to love and appreciate us.

Let's not dismiss this endorsement so easily.

I could see Hillary campaigning now with Taliban, she could wear the burkha, improving her profile immensely.
