    I'm sorry...

    ...I just can't be afraid of these two. They both remind me of Bush when thy speak...missed lines, lies, nonsensical phrases. Have to agree with Gary, though; most indies I talk to are put off by her. Independents tend to be the smartest, and most critical voters, with a good does of morons thown in for spice. Intrade, where you get to put your cash on the line, had the race even for about 15 minutes this morning, with Obama pulling away to a 7 point lead at the moment. Not to say that markets can't be manipulated, though.....I just think all the hoopla about her is to capture eyeballs. The next strategy is to have her bake cookies for Track as he goes off to Iraq; isn't she lovely?, not a bulldog at all...
