Daryle, as much as I'd like to do that, I'm afraid that some neocon would sneak up on me and hamstring me, so that I couldn't make it to the polls to vote.

Governmental bailouts of financial institutions. And now...the Republican nobody wants to be directly associated with 2.0 picks Dan Quayle 2.0. The poll results aren't even the bad news. It's the fact that anybody even ANSWERED these questions. At this point the American people should be so tired of the Republican party that the race is between Obama and a 5 pound bag of flour. Because a 5 pound bag of flour is better vetted than Sarah Palin. Americans are so panicked that they have forgotten that the Vice President of the United States has SECURITY CLEARANCE. NASA reports to the Vice President. Why are things coming up in the National Enquirer about someone who could end up holding launch codes? Why are there POLLS about this? I propose that all polls be suspended in favor of a fantasy football grid. no more discussing the issues. just pick your favorites and we'll see what's up in the playoffs.
