If Obama's Ralph Wiggum, then W is Cletus the slack-jawed yokel.

To add some additional levity to the thread.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves were going about their normal daily routine.  The dwarves all went to work at the mine and Snow White stayed home cleaning the house.

While making the beds with the TV on, she saw on the news that the mine had just collapsed.  Worried about the dwarves she ran all the way to the mine  She yelled down into the darkness, "Is anyone still alive down there?"

Silence.

"Please, if anyone is alive, please say something"

More silence.

Just when she was ready to give up she heard a faint voice come from the darkness saying,

"vote for Obama, vote for Obama"

She wiped away a tear and said, "Thank God, at least Dopey is alive."

I know even the Obama supporters can appreciate that because you know you are going to subsitute McCain and tell the joke :P

That's always been a given?

I'll scrutinize every single one to make a decision, but you know what?  The first one I scrutinize will be the one you just described!  He may not be the guilty one, but if that's the only criterion I have to work with at first, I'll use it.

But Dopey was mute.

You remind of the time I was telling my young nephew a joke about a talking dog and he said, "But dogs can't talk"

Just like with Jodi, "guilty until proven innocent."  What a way to live!  Mind if people apply that standard to you, Greg?

100% of all parents who molested their own children were the parents of the children they molested.

Therefore, all parents are child molesters.

I just want to voice my support for Bill Richardson as Obama's VP choice. A very intelligent and articulate man who has executive (as Governor of New Mexico, I believe) experience. I don't see a better choice out there for the democrats, especially considering the fact that Republicans are praying for Hillary Clinton to be added to the ticket in order to excite their base.

You get competency, you get someone that would make a good president should anything happen to Barack Obama (not saying that it's likely but being President kind of comes with a bullseye on your back, ask Lincoln, Kennedy and Reagan) and you don't have the potential albatross of someone with high negatives.

Also, and this might just be me, but if Hillary was the VP choice would she be trying hard to help Obama win? Or would she be trying to look as good as she can (even if that means hurting Obama) so that Obama loses and she doesn't have to wait eight years for her turn?
