    Just As I Thought....

    I have asked the question over and over again on numerous blogs, "What about this husband who is always hanging around?"

    I read an article from an Alaskan paper that pretty much validates what this article, more in depth, has said. I have also watched the body language between the two in their canned stump speeches; they shirk and grin and almost laugh at McCain when he speaks of earmarks and making famous those who ask for them!

    I think the voters for this ticket, even in the face of so many horrific negatives, will be the Republican Base and those people so still upset re Democratic Primary and also those who cannot vote for a black man.

    That is a lot of people. I shudder to think that they may win this thing.
