For the sake of all of us I do wish him well. This world needs it.
Let's all hope that at the end of his term we will not have to read an article such as this.

I will reserve judgement.
I usually reserve judgement like also... but McCain sank his own ship when he chose Palin as a running mate. The thought of her being president if he should drop dead would scare anyone off.

I respectfully disagree, not with your assessment of Palin, but with the premise that McCain ever had a chance. The Bush overhang on the Republican party doomed any candidate IMHO.
I agree that MccCain did have a chance but less of a chance after Palin and her novelty wore off and people realized she would not be a competent VP. That and the Bush overhang like you stated were both contributing factors in the end that led to the Obama election imo.
Too bad for CubbieDome Obama's not a Cub Fan. This would be the teams only chance of visiting the White House!
At last!
A Sox fan in the White House.
One who knows the atmosphere @ wrigley is less baseball and fan friendly than on the good guy side of town.
Daley and Obama on the south side.
Tommy "Boystown" Tunney on the north side.
Case closed.

SIBullets...I couldn't disagree more strongly.
Did Governor Palin perform poorly during her interview with the cutlass swinging Couric? Yes indeed. She did poorly. But, in my estimation, she performed admirably otherwise.
Governor Palin has the ability to connect directly with the public without the need for the media. This quality of her scares the gee willikers out of the left along with some snobby Republican pundits. They absolutely do not want the Republican party to be the first to bring a woman like Governor Palin to victory as a presidential candidate.
Remember J.C.Watts? A very smart and respected black Republican from Oklahoma who could have, had he chosen to, made a run for president. Being a conservative it would have been interesting to see how his pioneering candidacy would have been handled by the media.
My point is that there have been good minority candidates in the Republican party, but they know better than anyone how they will be treated by the media as a conservative. They will be treated poorly from the very beginning. How do you overcome this prejudice? By connecting with people directly.
Governor Palin came through this whole episode totally unscathed. You have not heard the last from her. She is one tough cookie! She exhibits the confident, self reliant, character that is typical of the rural Western part of our country. Somehow this frightens people not from that region...I, having lived half of my life in the rural West, find it totally refreshing.
After Senator McCain made his selection of Governor Palin I immediately phoned my good friend in Ketchikan and he gave me two thumbs up for Governor Palin. He is a friend of mine from way back in college and I literally don't know anyone with more common sense than my friend. His point of view is valued and respected by me and conversely the media's take on the Governor, in my mind, has virtually no merit.
She was presented to us by the media as a total lightweight and nitwit...right? Even scandalous...remember?
Why is it then that she received the overblown wrath of the left and the media? Why should they even pay any attention to someone so vacant of intellect and good sense?
The answer is they want her to wilt before she blooms. They don't want her around in four years. Governor Palin didn't wilt...she will be blooming in the years to come.
Most appropriately the Alaska state flower is the beautiful and hardy Alpine Forget Me Not!

I, for one, do truly hope that we have not seen the last of Sarah Palin. She has been the butt of the funniest SNL skits I have seen in years! Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey would just die if Caribou Barbie rode her moose off into the Alaskan sunset, never to be seen or heard from again. Don't go Sarah!
.
Governor Palin, being a good sport, really helped with SNL's ratings. Lorne, Tina, and Alec were all sincerely appreciative as they should have been.
Don't worry JKennedy...none of the nonsense that has been said about the Governor has had any negative effect on her. She will be around for the long haul because she was so well received by many, many people.
She has much more support than you could ever imagine...and people like a person who can laugh along with others as, in this case, she is being made fun of. That takes one strong and confident person to pull that off on the national stage.
Both Governor Palin and Senator McCain are held in high regard because of their good sportsmanship.

I think she is really hot.

She's hot alright. Take a look at what happened the last time she visited Glacier Bay!
Elsie! Here comes another!

When she was in Philadelphia I saw her with her wearing a tee shirt and her hair down. She is hot.

"Guys...she is hot. And she's mine!"

You're right, Wood. She was a particularly good sport the other day when she thought she was talking to the President of France and he was hitting on her. Turned out it was just a couple of radio guys from Canada. But she does look good in a pair of jeans....Oui?
Hilary is just as hot ..if not hotter
She looks plenty hot in those pantsuits ...just imagine her in something skimpy !

I think Obama is far more likely to be aligned with Tunney and his crowd.
Baseball's over for a week and this is what we have to talk about?
Fastball....
Wishing won't make it so.
North side neighbors: Tunney and the cubs.
South Side neighbors: Da Mayor and the Prez.

Woody,
I've got to tell ya, I have seen the video on youtube of Sarah's bathing suit competition at the beauty pageant, and her backside is NOT her best side.. Looks kinda like califlower..

WHERE IS NAILS!
Im telling you ....get Hillary out of those pantsuits and into something more revealing and you will find her as hot as Palin . What was Bill thinking ?
Have you been drinking? I'm glad I didn't have anything in my mouth when I read this. I would have choked or spit it all over the screen. If I saw Hillary in something skimpy it would be like birth control. It would take a long time to get rid of the vision and get excited again.quote:Originally posted by Mr. Nobody:

Hilary is the antidote to Viagra!
