Ooooh! You're RIGHT! I forgot about ol' Kindasleazy.
Then again, given her near-creepy fealty to all things Bushie, I'm not actually sure how many non-partisan (and by that I mean people who aren't partisan Republicans, not "people who are neutral") voters actually think much of Ms. Rice, especially after her whole performance before the 9/11 commission about "how could the President be expected to think that a PDB entitled 'Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in the US' was 'actionable intelligence'?" shtick.
BTW -- I wonder if it is REALLY all that 'coincidental' that Dick Cheney was on the White House Staff during the Watergate debacle.....
If you've been paying close enough attention to even ASK that question, then you already know the answer is "hell, no." However, one thing you may have missed in all the current election-related hubub is this book, "Angler" by Barton Gellman of the Washington Post. There's been an absolute SLEW of books about what's been going on politically in this country in the last eight years, but this is one of perhaps the top five, in my opinion - though I have not yet read it.
How can I make such a judgment if I haven't even read the dang thing? Two ways: first, I have heard several book-release interviews with Gellman which make me believe it, and second, quite a number of the smartest people in politics are starting to say the same thing, such as Steve Clemons at The Washington Note:
Cheney Rerouted the In- and Out-Boxes of White House Power

>>> If we don't have a say, why are two guys running around spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to convince us to vote for them? Hmmm?
So that they can get the votes of millions to score electoral points so they can run the country and upset us. ; )
>>> As for Obama and lemonade stands... John might be able to run one, though he might punch out the first person that makes a comment about his lemonade. Obama on the other hand would ask why it was not liked, and then fix it. I like that approach.
That sounds sweet...except when the guys Obama is pandering to are our enemies. I don't like that approach.

I hadn't thought of that.
You're THAT old? Wow. So...did you vote for Lincoln? Or the other guy?
Excellent post.

Great post.
In an ideal world, Obama should win in a landslide....whether he actually will or not is another story.
Really? Try giving him a call and telling him how you feel about the job he's doing.
