He's got that huge Alvin Greene hurdle to get over first....

If this double or triple posts, it's because FR is still having huge timeout problems, I'm assuming.

Alvin Greene is my favorite democrat.

I'm more of a Marion Barry, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Cynthia Mckinny, Marxine Walters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Coldcash Jefferson, Willie Brown, Nostrils Waxman, Bawney Fwank, Moonbeam Brown fan myself.

And compared to Nazi Pelosi, Harry the Horrible, and the Big Dumb Wee Wee, Alvin is positively harmless.

“11. He’ll make a fine President in 2012”

He and several others. The Conservative bench is very deep this time around.
But the Republicrat bench is also pretty deep.

If we don't put a strong conservative in the White House and have a Repub majority in at least the House, this country is done. Therefore...

No thanks. We don’t need another free trader downsizing and outsoucing American jobs.
