“Hey, Blitzgig would make a good name for a rock band.”

Ha ha, thanks Gargantua. And personally, I can see “Gargantua” as a nifty name for a powerful superhero or a supervillainess. :-)

Almost everyone was in 4 years ago by this time on both sides.

Sorry but what a bunch of horse crap! The National Journal/Hotline is a joke! They still claim to be the “Non Partisan” National Journal.

Just look at some of their current and former “non partisan” employees.

Chucky Todd and Ron BrownSTAIN just to name a couple. Then the young lady with the short dark hair..Amy Something or other, total lefty. The outfit is a joke IMHO

I love Palin with all my heart, and want her to be president...but I agree, she’s got a voice problem. It’s been getting better lately...

However, I truly don’t care how she sounds...I want her to take ACTION and DO — not get up and talk through a teleprompter and make speeches on TV.

She can talk like nails on a chalkboard, as long as she gets this country turned around.

I don’t know what the voters are going to want, but I do know that headlining Sarahs one spot jump in this poll when others that are ahead of her in it, have moved up more spots smacks of a mix of homerism and desperation.

Actually, Urkel’s voice is the only acceptable part of him. He has a deep voice whereas Sarah’s is kind of shrill.

"A serial philanderer is a non-starter with most Republican voters."

I, for one am getting sick of hearing about this. Newt's marital choices are no worse than John McCain's, the last Republican candidate. I heard absolutely NO grumbling from anyone about McCain's choice to divorce his injured, disabled wife for HIS new hottie, Cindy.

Two wrongs make a right?

[matthew fuller]

Seems like different standards for different candidates. Many on FR cite this as a disqualifier for Newt, but no one ever mentioned McCain. Ronald Reagan was divorced once.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Did President Reagan cheat on his wife? It’s not about the divorce.

[matthew fuller]

I think that Jane got the divorce there, but that's not indicative of “fault”. No one can really say what exactly causes a divorce in many cases. But I do think that it can reasonably be assumed that McCain dumped his invalid wife for his new hottie. That was pretty evident. The affair with Cindy was pretty open, I believe. But McCain was this hot shit military hero/ POW with absolutely NO baggage regarding his first wife. Just a little hypocrisy, in my opinion.
