2. Yeah, with Governors you can attribute any success their state has had to their leadership.

10. that I did not know !
How come the public, the constituents, don't learn about these votes properly and in a timely fashion so we can contact our representatives!

Oh, wait, 90% of the Congress votes their pockets or votes to get re-elected, not what their constituency wants. Although I am lucky, my Senator, Russ Feingold will be voting AGAINST this new bill and he has said so. I did call my congressman, senselessbrenner, but he always vote with dubya!

12. Obama has shown by management of his campaign that he would have been a great Governor
And will be even a better President.

14. Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda
He isn't a governor, though. He is a Senator.

And every single vote is going to be scrutinized.

He is still going to win, though.

(By a lot)
