WOuld agree with htat.  But at least show me you've got some intelligence,
even if I know you're a good politician and
you stay bought once bought.  IN Sarah's case ... just too
much loony toon going on there.

tHey may all be puppets dancing on the string, but at least
they can show me a puppet which appears to have a modicum of intelligence
and clarity of thought.  seems to me the
nomination of Sarah as vp candidate behind Mccain guaranteed Obama the
election.  IT pretty much guaranteed that instead
of voting third party as I often do I"d vote for Obama.

That would be interesting.  Answer isn't readily handy to
this old man at the moment .
