Nothing wrong with state pride! Jesse doesn't count.
Jesse would be okay, if he took JUST that little extra time to think before he spoke. Mostly, I like his straight talk though...kinda refreshing from a politician.
When asked why he was selling dolls of himself for raising campaign money, he said, "I'd rather sell a tangible item, than my influence." ---When he says stuff like that...THAT's when I like him, A LOT ;-)
After reading the Hardball with CM thread about Jesse, tonight (although I didn't see the program...just reading comments)...I gotta say this is one of those times he should shut his mouth! Bush knows what he is doing, and only wants to save lives, NOT put them in harms way.
