From The Gut. Tom Friedman speaks the truth. I know
many here don't like him but he may be right on this.
If John McCain can win this election race with a 50-pound ball called “George W. Bush” wrapped around one ankle and a 50-pound ball called “The U.S. Economy” wrapped around the other, then he deserves to represent America in the next Olympics in any race he wants — swimming, cycling or track — I don’t care how old he is. He would be the Michael Phelps of politics.

1. No. The RNC and GOP officials in certain states will have stolen another election by
controlling every level of the election process where the votes are allowed, cast and counted. It is up to DNC and Dem officials in those states to use their newly strengthened infrastructure to COUNTER These tactics.
