		<description>&lt;p&gt;We said the same thing about Shrub in 2004.  Never underestimate the stupidity of the average American voter.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I agree with Serge.  “All y’all” is the way to go.  Jane did *try* to sound southern, though, bless her heart.  Keep trying, girl.  You might can get it right next time.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jay’s wife, Cheryl, said: “He [Edwards] didn’t hook me. There’s something about all this fighting and anger that puts me off.” She said she was probably going to vote for Clinton.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, I agree. Nobody wants to have to fight so much just to survive and pass on a good life to your children. It really isn’t fair that some here in America would force this distress on the rest of us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, you know what Edwards is saying is true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suggest you just ignore the campaign and all the distress it causes you. Then go vote for Edwards. Do that one little thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let him do all the fighting. He enjoys it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The thing about Huck is that he does something deliberately then jokes his way out of it&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That’s similar to the tactic Obama uses. After a gaffe he reviews it carefully and takes the allegation out of it’s original context, so he can claim that he’s being accused of something else and that something else happens to be not quite so horrible. It’s spinning crap into gold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, some voters notice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If Chris Matthews shows up in Iowa, tape a sign to his back that says “Kick Me!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you do you will go to heaven.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will also go to heaven if you just kick him, without the sign.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;For me it’s like In and Out Burger. I don’t eat meat but I loves their t-shirts!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raven: In ‘n Out Burgers!!!! Yea!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My daughter, who’s a vegetarian, gets a grilled cheese sandwich when we go to In ‘n Out.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Jane, dear…I have only lived in the South for twenty-seven years (having grown up in the evil precincts of Washington, DC), so I’m not an expert, but didn’t you mean to use the southern plural of “y’all,” i.e. *all* y’all…?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love you dearly,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Serge&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah, but, you know, it appears to be working - &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2007/12/curiouser_and_c.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; from the Boston Globe, in a followup to the Huckabee story&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“On the one hand he wants to run a positive campaign, and on the other hand he shows a negative campaign ad and hopes that people promote it and provide it to the public through the earned media,” Romney said this afternoon. “And I think that’s a very confusing and puzzling message.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“With that, who wants a slice of pizza?” he asked, offering paper plates to reporters, but not offering to answer questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jim Bob Duggan, a former Arkansas state legislator who is backing Huckabee, crashed the event, asking loudly: “I was just going to ask you about the $50 copay — the $50 copay for abortions?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Romney turned way from Duggan, told his traveling press secretary, Eric Fehrnstrom, to give the man an answer, and called out loudly, “Hey guys, who wants pizza? Everybody take a plate if you want pizza.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;seems like a cheap way to get the ad seen &amp; talked about.  amyeb tehre are other motives, but that’s gotta be one.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
