Holds the same weight.

Wednesday said, "Nyerk? Quark!" and went behind the guitar. Does Eric Cantor play the guitar? Sarah Palin? How about Robin Hayes?

Rep. Hayes is a well-intentioned but vague man.

He speaks well and is much more conservative than McCain.

Why not Michael Phelps? He goes to Michigan, an important battleground state... Or, Dara Torres? (I'd suggest Nastia, but she's too young).

He's 12 years too young. Also the last thing Republicans need is someone in a debate whose favorite answer to any question is "I'm at a loss for words."

LOL. Here we go again. After reviewing your previous posts, you are obsessed with Eric [Who?] Cantor.

Lucky you. I just moved to NoVA...I wanted Tom Davis, the guy who deposed Billy Bulger on the floor of Congress. Instead I got Jim Moran.

Plus they have a coach whose name uses almost no vowels. That’s kinda neat.

As if Mike Krezkzqewoladhfdoif hadn't already been asked to coach a pro team, this win in China means he'll get offered gazillions of dollars to do so.

He actually had pro players playing for an entire game and having fun doing it.

That's beyond miraculous.

I really hope this is true. I was planning on sitting this one out until Obama picked Biden (one of the top-5 politicians I hate) and now I’m probably begrudgingly voting for John. Cantor as the running mate will make this a lot easier.

McCain's grandiosity is that he wants to win not with the Bush conservative coalition, but with his own maverick coalition.

So very true, but the huge problem for him if he does win that way is that he will have no true base of support and his poll numbers will quickly fall lower that Bush's and damage the republican party for years to come loosing way more house and senate seats in the next 4 years.

But hey, during that time he will have destroyed the republican platform(a Country-club republican dream) and lost the Christians to their own party(A nightmare for the republicans and a dems wet dream, losing the repubs the chance to ever winning again, just ask the Canadians) if not the fiscal conservatives also.

It would never happen, but, legally speaking, could Dick Cheney serve as VP again?

I read that Tom Davis is retiring and the seat is very likely to switch to Dem. The first Rep. elected to the district back in 1992 was a Dem. named Leslie Byrne. Davis was able to unseat her in the Republican sweap in 1994 and has been able to hold onto it but I think it’s usually close. Most of NoVA has been trending more and more Dem. OTOH, I think Repubs have the chance to gain some new seats and maybe even take back some of the ones they lost in 2006. One of the most likely pickups is TX-22 (in my home city of Houston). Nick Lampson only won because DeLay dropped out and the Repub. replacement candidate Shelly Sekula-Gibbs had to be written in. I also think they can pick up AL-5 from retiring Dem. Bud Cramer.
