This thread doesn't 'sideline' the issues any more than the Nascar thread, or the birdwatchers thread, or any other of the various subject threads floating around FR.

Nascar nor birdwatchers are politics....Candidates wives are....and Obamas playing the strings.

and Obamas playing the strings.

Your conjecture is in error. I'm fairly sure Zeros plan didn't include having this blow up in their faces.

So were not discussing the candidates positions on various issues...big deal.

I think most people have a pretty good grasp of where they candidates stand at this point, so why not take the time and enjoy watching the Dem's crash and burn?
