Apple has shown us how this translates into sales, just before the launch of one of their anticipated products... I think Steve Jobs made the list too.

I think it would be much funnier if the Obama campaign would name Rezko as VP because he contributed so much money to Obama when he was in Chicago. Or a funnier headline might be Obama to join his buddy in federal prison, and we would all have a laugh and enjoy the moment. I love it when a campaign doesn't take the press seriously.

America needs a president who actually sounds smart in front of a microphone. McCain reminds me of another “overwhelmingly-experienced” politician that’s unable to overtake an “amateur.”

It's been fairly ridiculous how extensive the coverage of who these two candidates are going to select has been. If only the MSM spent more time on what these people actually want to do with the country rather than who they want to do it with, I'd be a lot more pleased. Instead all that we have is analysis of who would best help him with state X because so and so is from that state, etc. It is funny.
