    The Hot Chick doesn't merit the attention of Barack Obama or Joe Biden. I hope the Dems have to forsight to make The Hot Chick Hillary's Own Personal Project from now until election day. The Hot Chick can spend the next 60 days with Hillary latched onto her like a pit bull.

  • Calling The Hot Chick "Trailer Trash"

    and next to us was a table of 80-somethings discussion Obama, the subject: when Obama will be assasinated. Oh, it will be a shame and all they clucked, but inevitable.

    It was only out of respect for my mother that I didn't walk over to the table and offer to wager each one of them that THEY would be dead before Obama. Greatest Generation My Ass!

    [Read the article: The South will not rise again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Obama's home town, who will not vote for him because of his race. The South Side of Chicago is as racially polarized as any of the Southern States.

    That said, I just donated $200 Obama. This is the first, and probably last, donation I will make to any candidate or political party ever. I prefer to make my donations to the ACLU as they are the one organization that has consistently and effectively fought the abuses of the Bush "Administration".

    but Lincoln Chafee is stepping up to the plate and framing The Hot Chick in words every American can understand.

    Meanwhile I have no doubt that Charlie Gibson and The Hot Chick are spending the day rehearsing her interview.

    Gibson:

    "Your candidacy has the momentum of a runaway freight train. How do you explain you incredible popularity?"

    Hot Chick:

    "A tough question, but fair...."

    [Read the article: Obama, Dems go after McCain's honor]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    a number of major news outlets have latched on to this story. I don't watch Fox "News",but the others seemed united on calling McCain out on his "Blizzard of Lies". What Mr. & Mrs. Flyoverstate want to believe is a different matter...

    I think there is a perfect opportunity for the Obama campaign to leverage this issue and tie it into the "4 More Years of Bush" theme. McCain is conducting his campaign of lies and distortions based on the Bush model. He's lying already, how can you trust him in the White House?

  • Again, the proof that McCain is nothing more than

    "Who was at the helm when the ship ran aground?" Repeat this 24/7 through Nov. 4. Add that disgusting picture of McSleepy hugging Bush then, for the kicker, fade to the picture of Bush holding hands with Prince Faud.

    This is not the time for nuance, this is the time for blunt cranial trauma.
