I hope to God that the Dems are prepared for this election. As far as I can tell, we are putting forward people that are not going to be able handle the fight.

This is truly frightening.

- Dave

[Auntie Bush]

40. I hope I'm wrong but I think Nancy looks extremely uncomfortable in the spotlight.

She doesn't seem to know what to do with her mouth or smile or not. Just MHO or observation. I wish she'd just relax. Of course I couldn't either.

[Yael]

41. Land-a-mark? What a stain on our national image.

[Avalux]

temporary national flag. I wonder why.
