I guess he teaches at the business school here. If I told my dad that he'd shit his pants and demand I come back to Denver right this minute! :-)

1. Mike was the first Democratic Presidential candidate I ever voted for.
It's amazing I ever voted again after that...;-)

5. Oh, I just remembered...I was in college...I voted absentee.
I wonder if they counted my vote! :o

Not that it would have mattered or anything. :P

Mike is a good man - I am proud to have voted for him.

2. neat
Even though Mike lost I in no way think hes a bad guy or a loser, his statement I am a proud ACLU member was horribly treated. So what did he have to say? I wonder who he will endorse if he officially endorses people. If it were anyone would curse, I'd say it would be Kerry, just a hunch. Kerry was Mike's Lt Governor right.

6. I met him 5 years ago
He admitted to me that he ran a "terrible" campaign. I was only 12 in 1988, but that was the last time I ever lived in a swing state in a presidential election year (California).

7. As a former tank crewman, I would have told him that the
'photo op', you know the one, was a really, REALLY bad idea. Came back to haunt him, big time. Kinda the way the Chimp's "Mission Accomplished" photo op is blowing up on him.

Mea Culpa; I voted for Turd Blossom's dad in '88. Big Mistake. ;(
