I see it as a miracle that McCain is still kind of in this thing.

If anything, they should have learned from the fuss over McCain's multiple homes and his wife's six-figure bling. Don't do anything that looks elitist! Simple lesson that fell on deaf ears.

I dont think Mike Dukakis has ever recovered from the infamous tank photo. Please don't bust that one out again....

Anyway, continue on enjoying Dayton fashions.

YOhio called me the other day and asked "what people were wearing in California."

LOL!

You keep sidestepping the issue....I am saying it was a political blunder....not a moral one, not an economic one, not a legal one. If she had done her shopping at local shops, discount retailers, etc.....she would have easy leverage over all the Washington fatcats that drop egregious money on Eye-talian suits. Just another lost opportunity for Sarah Barracuda.

The other thing is that the clothing she is buying doesnt even fit her well. She is wasting your political donations on frumpy coats, poochy skirts, etc....I thought Hillary needed a stylist....Palin's wardrobe cries out for sartorial intervention.

Also, why are you so mad at the media? They warned you months ago that the economy was in trouble. You should have listened back then.

Sorry, my life has gotten very serious of late. I manage about $100 million of my clients money and these are not fun times. I use the boards to release pressure not accumulate them. At another time going back and forth with you and your yanking my chain was fun and you are good at it.

By the way, the media didn't warn of shit.

Sorry, TD. I'm not sure you're going to persuade our socially-conservative evangelical potential-VP to dress from the Victoria's Secret "Body at Work" collection.

Did you tell them they are wearing 'We love Gay' shirts and 'Down with Mormons' shirts. Hopefully you helped him though because its tough for him to visualize himself wearing something other than plaid flannel.

I agree, though I doubt many voters are going to give this a second look, even Joe Six Packs. Her persona is not only genuinely imbued in the electorate on its own merits, but it has been reinforced by media lampooning. It'll be a true feat of magic if the media can now pivot and call her an elitist.

Nonsense. Bush has a historically low approval rating, and though the Dem Congress is lower, America has transfixed its anger on the White House, and the White House alone. Obama has the entire media establishment rooting him on, covering for him, and he was gift-wrapped an economic crisis just at the moment McCain was charging.

McCain has had his own problems to be sure, to say he should've "run away" with the election is laughable. It's amazing he's even still within striking distance.

Well, best of luck to you in your business. I can only imagine the pressure. I wish you nothing but success, hermano, for both you and your clients. I am feeling the pinch in the maretplace, but not as directly as you given the nature of your work.

I played a trick on him and told him that everyone was wearing "Choose Life" or sleeveless Union Jack t shirts.
