For every person who believes she can't seriously become President, there's another person out there who thinks she's a breath of fresh air who's going to tell those Washington fat cats what's what, you betcha. <br /><br />Many people seem to be taken by her grammatical failings and folksy speech. My fear is that 20 years from now, we'll have a candidate who does all his ads in text-message speak. Is it that big a stretch?Tednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846305408381850041.post-77745099947153636712010-02-09T23:52:57.328-05:002010-02-09T23:52:57.328-05:00Irwin -

In the 3rd paragraph you refer to IMHO, and I don't understand what that means and its context.<br /><br />2.In the 4th paragraph, I think the last sentence <br />"I hope that BHO’s campaign to embarrass the GOP for standing in the way, for members voting against bills they sponsored, for putting holds on nominations so that they can get pork, and for trying to cripple the government on the theory that the electorate will blame the majority",<br /><br /> reads as an incomplete thought. Do you hope he succeeds or fails?irwinbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194656218031873728noreply@blogger.com
