I operate on the premise, that: 'All things work together for good for those of us who love God, for those of us who are called according to his purpose.'

What is important and critical to the success or failure in Iraq or for a John McCain candidacy is in finding the right Vice Presidential candidate to accommodate him.

Someone that has proven spiritual attributes.

I am not talking about someone who thinks he is 'blessed' by name, but of someone who has demonstrated in his life some positive prophetic characteristics.

I am not talking about someone who has been blessed with a million dollars, won a national lottery or 20 elections.

This is the challenge: Find the reverse of what the 'children of mammon' look for in a political candidate, and the country will have found the right person or persons to compliment the candidacy of John McCain.

I believe, given what I know, that either a John McCain Presidency or a Clinton Presidency could succeed in Iraq, with an appropriate accommodation.

Of course, for security and privacy concerns, the candidate on either side cannot be told the solution, which is something they themselves must discover and approach on the premise of faith.

Otherwise, it won't work - for either Party.

But, my feeling is, John McCain has the best chance to succeed, and that's why I support him.

Who we need to compliment a Presidential Candidate this election is a person and/or persons who has/have the personal desire to be the last to be more than the first.

Identify that/those person(s) and the American people will have their perfect Vice Presidential Candidate and/or person(s) fitted to lead us through the impending hard times that we are going to be faced with in the future.

However, getting someone like this to cooperate with the selection process is quite another matter.

Usually this type likes to run away from responsibility, even if that person knows the calling is coming from God...because this type is usually intimidated by meekness, personal hardships and feelings of inadequacy.

How much more would this kind of person be likely to run away from his/her calling knowing that it is coming, in part, from the U.S. political process?

I think that it would be pretty hard, psychologically for anyone to go from 'rejection' to 'selection' all of a sudden, don't you?

But, this is usually the way things happen...and why people run away from what is even perceived as the 'will of God.' (Just like Jonas did for the reasons that even Moses contemplated against his calling)

BIG PROBLEM!
