No, it's too expensive. I guess the Dems are only accessible to the rich. I wanted to go see Obama but no access for us plain folk. Especially in the glamor of Hollywood.
But seriously, isn't this the way political parties do business anyways? The Republicans have failed hard at reaching out to us independent swing voters. At least the Dems have made some lip service. We will see.

Ha! I remember that one, so funny. Ah, SNL, what happened to you, you used to be so good...
Anyways, thanks for the comic relief. Maybe it will break some of the tension in here these days.
Carry on.

Hmm, interesting, I think I had the opposite effect. I am drifting towards Obama because I felt he hasn't slung any mud (or at least not much). However, the latest mud fracas (not Obama's doing) is so ugly I am turned off by the whole thing. But in the end, the effect is I have even less respect for the media and no trust in their dubious credibility now more than ever. And also the Dems (and Reps) rabid supporters who are absolutely crazy in slinging mud.
With both sides flinging feces at each other, they better be careful because it's us moderate, independent, swing voters who are in the middle getting covered in shit.

It's insanely disgusting to have karl rove call him (and the dems) out on excessive lies...that's just absurd. It's also absurd that he would run that type of campaign when he was snowblowed in the 2000 primaries...
ab..so..lutely...disgusting.

Yep, agreed, same here. So disappointing.
