Senator Rockefeller again handled the openings, this time opining that for the first time in his more than 40 years: “I’ve met the man, the only person I’ve really wanted to see as president.”<BR/><BR/>Hold that thought: Lyndon Baines Johnson never made Mr. Rockefeller’s heart race? Nor Robert Kennedy, George McGovern or Jimmy Carter? Minnesota Mondale, Michael Dukakis, and neither Bill Clinton or Albert Gore quickened his pulse? What of John Kerry?<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, we could not address these questions to Mr. Rockefeller as Obama pool rules are akin to a non-petting zoo. Reporters are allowed to come and stare and listen to the very wealthy applaud their candidate but no touching or talking is allowed. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/09/obama-courts-big-donors/#more-5573maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12054078204955795923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-22982803569436545432008-07-09T00:11:00.000-07:002008-07-09T00:11:00.000-07:00a. citizen, Kristol may have a point. I saw a story from the MSNBC site that McCain polls significantly better than Obama among pet owners, particularly those with dogs. It seems that McCain & family have a menagerie of 10 pets, including 3 dogs and a cat, 2 turtles, a ferret, and assorted tropical fish.CognitiveDissonancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10992013344343613904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-47049806669474325742008-07-08T23:54:00.000-07:002008-07-08T23:54:00.000-07:00Oh Gawd! I can identify! There have been <B><I>those daze</B></I> when I thought "There is no way...I cannot think, I cannot function, I have 8 weeks of sick leave." These are the times to use one of those days...<BR/>I accrued that sick leave...I came in with the flu, crud, whatever. I came in when my nose was a red, blocked up appendage.
