[Mr. Brightside]

The article is right on.

But the picture of him in drag is a non-starter. There is a picture in my high school year book of a number of us on the football team dressed up as cheerleaders. We had make-up, fake boobs, etc.

Do you honestly think that anyone who ever went to a costume party dressed as a woman should be disqualified from public office?

We would do better to concentrate on his support for gay marriage and abortion on demand.

But regarding the rest of the article, Farah is right on.

[Wallace T.]

A Giuliani-Clinton (or Kerry or Gore) race or for that matter a McCain-Clinton or a Romney-Clinton race is an open invitation to a George Wallace style third party in 2008. While such a third party would not win, there is certainly the potential that it could get 10-20% of the vote. It would probably cost the GOP the presidency, but punishing the RINOs for hijacking what should be a conservative party would be a desirable result. With the exception of national security and the Supreme Court choices of Roberts and Alito, the last five years have been disappointing for those who believe in conservatism.

For all practical purposes, yes. But you're overlooking something important here: this kind of photo goes a long way toward molding a candidate's image in the eyes of the public -- especially in this age of meticulous media exposure . When was the last time you saw a serious presidential candidate in a "compromising" photo like this?
