1. I got a signed copy for a best friend
for her Christmas present. I hope it gets here in time! Two of my kids, the littler one adore Obama, The other is for Edwards and the eldest and myself are for Hillary.

BUT .....we are all DEMOCRATS!

11. We have a Debate scheduled after Christmas.
Edited on Wed Dec-19-07 07:18 PM by liberalnurse
The kids are on break and they need to research the issues of their candidate as they will represent that candidate. We only have the 3 candidates represented. The little ones, age 10 and 11, Brett and Brooke are the Obama supporters, the 16 year old, Emily is for Edwards and Melissa, 27, she and I are Hillary. Frank, the old coot, he is undecided.....no surprise there so he will ask the questions.

Great learning experience.

4. I haven't read it, but I think it is pretty damned audacious
for one little town to think it can generate two presidents.

10. or...
"Ha ha! I tricked Progressives Into Accepting DLC Policies."

Of course, I'm a fan of many DLC policies, which is why I'm certain many Obama supporters haven't read that book.
