I am going to have to leave because I have work I need to get done.
Ohio voters should check on how exactly it is that the Longaberger Basket Company of Dresden, Ohio supplied the basket for Michelle’s infamous pickled okra gift basket (complete with a “Made especially for Michelle Obama” name plate and NOT “A Gift of the People of the United States of America.”)
The target market for those baskets is not the Obama voter! I know, because years ago I used to be a Longaberger consultant. I want to know if the company was pressured into providing those baskets for free. I think they are not thrilled about it because it is not mentioned on their web site, unlike their arrangements with Tommy Hilfiger and Paula Deen (who is also a democrat, in case you didn’t know, although she mostly keeps her mouth shut).
Tami Longaberger is a very nice woman, but would not be able to withstand White House pressure. (”Nice little basket company ya got there, Tami. Shame if you had an audit or something...”)
I sure would like to know the truth about that arrangement. Especially how that company was chosen over other US basket companies. Could the Ohio swing state problem for the dems have had anything to do with it? Who is the rep in the Dresden area, and is he in trouble?
Anyway, information on this seemingly minor item might be very illuminating.
I will check back on the thread this evening. Everyone have a nice afternoon!
hillbuzz had a thread on the baskets and contents this week and asked about if the baskets were purchased or donated in the update - there’s also some mention of the baskets in the Comments section:

THere are ways to ask questions to get what you want.
When in high school my band director taught me to say to parents when soliciting contribution Not “Do you want to contribute?” BUT “Do you want to contribute a pie or a cake?”
It also worked for $$$$$. ALways had 100% contribute after that little trick.
Are you in IN 9th?
