Well, Star Trek always WAS a bit Politically Correct.

However, with Shatner, a Canadian National, doing an appearance for a US politician, isn't that TECHNICALLY a Foreign National making an illegal campaign donation to a US Federal Candidate ?? Especially as they talked it up at the "Trek" conventions. . .

Of course, there IS a Shatner-Ohio connection precedent: Jim Traficant and HIS bad hairpiece, to match the famous "Shatner Turbo 2000". . . .

I thought, in the future, along with no Iraqis to be found aboard any "Star Trek" vehicles, there would also be none of their supporters, the future evolved liberals....

Janeway is easily the worst captain in Star Trek history....Hagan is toast.

Go figure. The Federation always a bit on the liberal side.

Shame.
I never thought Shatner would campaign for a parasite-party candidate.

Does this mean her campaign slogan is going to be RESISTANCE IS FUTILE?

And Seven of Nine has become a preachy, liberal, Clinton-worshiper (kneel before him!) on 'Boston Public'. Kids, prepare to be assimilated into NEAbots

Oh Ms. Ryan! How the mighty have fallen!

I agree. Kate Mulgrew won't help...she was the worst.

I've only seen one poll on this race - from last week, and it was closer than I expected. Taft - 42%, Hagan - 33%. But I don't know anything about the polling firm (Dykes), or who commissioned the poll. Margin of error - 5%.

DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!! At least during lunchtime (as I'm wiping spewed Diet Coke off the keyboard...)

LOL!

I remember reading one of Shatner's biographies (honest, I didn't buy it, it was just lying there!) where he compared Checkov's uptight character to a Rush Limbaugh listener. The comparison was not flattering.

Our choices are pretty sad here in Ohio. I think we have a Constitutional Party candidate. Guess I'll be one of the .067% crowd.

Me too. I've never done that before. But this November for the governor's race, I will.

I've got a couple RINOs for senators also. DeWine is cosponsoring a gun control bill with hillery, I'll never vote for him again.

I voted for DeWine in the general last time, against in the Primary....not that it mattered. Why can't we have Blackwell in the Senate instead?
