Now that Palin supposedly went home so the media decide they would make them a new one. After all Teddy is dying so nothing to fear there. Please a t least call it what it is, they decided that a woman should have to jump through more hoops. In one breath we marvel at Obama's academic background, his ability to raise money and say that it trumps inexperience. Well Caroline has similar academic background, a constitutional scholar and his the ability to raise money so what's the difference?

Chicago. . The ten big states' governors are usually mostly known. Interesting governors--women like Sibelius or Napolitano, celebrity like Jesse Ventura, or independents like Angus King in Maine. . It says something, I think, that NYC, Chicago, LA mayors may be more prominent than their governors. Giuliani certainly more prominent than Pataki. Funny mistake. Chicago.

I went to a fundraiser for him when he ran against D'Amato. What an unpleasant man he was. i was just in Albany on a citizen lobbying trip with some other people.
