1. wonderful

73% saying yes. Of course the media will point out that Chicago is a democratic city, but I don't think it is far from what much of the country thinks. Too much is too much.

9. Tell that to the editorial writers in the Chicago Tribune

2. why? They are just trying to gauge interest. The more votes, the

higher the interest and the higher the coverage. No matter which way the poll comes out, they just want to know what the volume of interest is.

3. Done, and here's another:

BOSTON GLOBE:

Will President Bush's visit to Europe and G8 summit with world leaders help his campaign?

5. That's another ambiguous one!

If you say "Yes," perhaps they'll become overconfident!

4. Of course, DU illuminary Walt Starr would say, "More!"

I think I might agree--let them OD on Reagan!

7. For crying out loud...

Everytime I turn on the TV to watch Tweety he is STILL gushing about St. Ronnie. Give it a rest, Chris!!!!!

On Sunday night, I actually watched a couple of minutes of Hardball's coverage. Matthews and a guest were talking about what a great storyteller Reagan was, how he could get through to the average Joe by turning his ideas into simple, effective stories. Then Matthews said, "Kind of like that guy in the New Testament!" My jaw dropped! Even the guest looked pretty shocked.

I think Tweety must have ADD, or must be a "Gemini" or something, because whatever side he is on (and he always chooses a side) changes from day to day.
