>>When you feel you have to bring your own cheering squad .. you’ve already failed the test.

Possibly. But that doesn’t mean you can’t bribe the teacher to still get an A. Sad, but true.

Apparently, bussing in a cheering section is a time-honored tactic, that goes back at least as far as ancient Rome.

... and not just in politics. I have read that the Beatles had hired screaming teenage girls for most of their early US concerts, including Ed Sullivan, I believe.

People do it because it works. Apparently Romney hired blacks to applaud him. 0vomit clearly hired people to pretend to swoon so he could look both beloved and in charge when he pretended to handle the situation.

Well .. you can excuse Jeb Bush all you want .. but I find it unseemly.

And .. I believe he did it because HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GET A LOT OF BOOOOOOS.

Support him if you want .. but I’ll never vote for him.
