I don't want to co-op this thread but here are the positions of the main political parties in Canada on health care:

Conservative Party: Wants private enterprise to help run the system. None-the-less, every citizen has a health card and is covered at doctor offices and hospitals.

New Democrat Party (socialists): Wants all current health services run by the government and wants others like dental and 100% of prescriptions added.

Liberal: Likes status quo of government running the hospitals.

There are no ELECTED parties in Canada who support a private system. That's one reason why Republicans hate us.

You never know Fonz. Stu could be talking about the democratic primary. There is a good chance that one of them is going to ask for a recount in one state or another.

But no...in the general election it will be either McCain or Romney vs Obama or Clinton.

Not necessarily true, if either party candidate doesn’t have the required delegates, that would force the DNC or the GOP to have a real convention where they regroup and keep voting until they have a candidate that they all agree on, and as funny as it sounds, it could be anyone, currently running for president or not.

CNN had Newt on TV a week or so ago and asked him about the rumors that he *COULD* get the GOP candidacy if this would happen since if it got to that point of McCain vs Romney at the GOP convention with no clear front runner the GOP would find someone they could all love and who they think would win.

Newt grinned and then refused comment.

I think the odds of this are VERY low, but that is how this was all supposed to work. Of course if this happens to the DNC the front runner COULD be Al Gore.

Personally, I do not think either party will get to this point, but it could happen.
