Nbr 17 was a far better on ABC than NFL each week.

But Roger was better.

Too bad his Botox doesn't hide that huge "L" on his forehead.

Rats! I thought he was up for re-election in '06.

"We should show up at his next rally, all holding mirrors."
"Then we'd have to clean up all the broken glass ; )"

Recently during a radio program, I heard just a part of an answer Kerry gave when he was asked in an interview (maybe by Russert or Matthews) what his core values were. Kerry, really sputtering, pausing and stuttering, answered, "Well,...solidarity...that's it, solidarity...the Catholic church..." Almost, if not an exact quote, but I cannot locate the interview text. Kerry betrays his political orientation and his social ideology by using the word "solidarity." "Solidarity" is the by-word of international socialist and communist movements. Americans use the word "unity" or "unified" to express their cohesiveness. From 1972 to present days, Kerry consistantly uses the (code or message) word "solidarity." Most Americans are unaware of the significance of Kerry's reflexive usage of "solidarity" in his unprepared speech.
Most Americans caught the nefarious implication of Kerry's preference for a "Global Test" to ratify America's policies.

"...the message expressed in the magic words: Solidarity, Workers’ Power, One Big Union and Workers’ Emancipation... a power that must rule in every land." http://www.socialistviewpoint.org

Half the TOSU Horseshoe is in brilliant sunshine, so these folks might well have been blind to Kerry's obvious flaws. But there is another factor:

For big games, half the crowd ain't from Ohio! Which is not to say they will not receive fake registrations, fraudulent absentee, and multiple provisional ballots from your local Democrat election operative on their way out. So Jean-François Querrie jus' might have made the excellent point here, non?

But from the Republican point of view the news is still not all that bad. These fans have the distinction of being alive, which is quite different from the usual key Democrat voters who provide the margin of victory late at night in the close elections.

Late night voters in St. Louis include the dead and their dogs.

[Kenny Bunk]

.....the dead and their dogs.
Your hostile remarks about Man's Best Friend and other 4-footed voters have been duly noted and passed along to PETA for immediate action. What if old Rover's master is dead, shouldn't the devoted canine be able to express what might have been his electoral wishes? Can't you see that Rover's vote and that of his dead master are needed to keep evil Republicans from power? It's for the children. The Dead and The Dogs are important Democrat constituencies, whom the Republicans in their typical uncaring way, have too long ignored.

You obviously do not appreciate living in Missouri (Relax. It could be worse. You might be living in Philadelphia, where voter turnout is always close to, or even over, 100%.)

After 16 years in the frozen north of the Twin Cities, oh, yes I do...
