6. and McSellout is going to try and "strike back"

Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 03:29 PM by ErinBerin84

by having a speech at 9 about how HE'S really the "change agent" and not Obama, trying to "steal some of Obama's thunder", according to Kelly O'Donnell who covers the McCain campaign. Good luck with that. The dems are always going to be more exciting than you. Old man yells at cloud.

10. Senator Obama's gonna bring spring warmth and light....

to the north country that's been lagging in spring weather....

The "hope" message is gonna melt all that ice,
and the thaw's kickin' in, and hearts are gonna melt with joy.

21. LOL...sports fans are a cruel lot.

He has a tendon problem on his left hand. The tendon slides over the bone when he swings, resulting in mucho pain. He's in a cast for a couple of weeks, and if that doesn't help then it's surgery, which will most likely end his season.
