That was a righteous dead-threading if ever I've seen one ...
Anyway ... interesting article on Florida governor Charlie Crist's involvement in Huggy Bear's campaign. Crist is hangin' with the Hugster in Arizona this weekend.
"There's tremendous pressure on Crist," said Ed Rollins, a top Republican strategist. "Crist has to deliver Florida. He gets tarnished if he doesn't. He needs to prove he has the same organization and ability to deliver the state that Jeb [Bush] had."
It's unlikely the affable and sunny Crist is feeling the heat. He always stays cool. Indeed, he's so conscious about the image that aides set up mini-fans for him at press-conference podiums so he doesn't perspire on camera.
Heh.
If Crist is the VP pick, I'll eat my hat. Ain't gonna happen. No way.

I have no doubt that the irrational will flock to him, but those are the ones that would vote for McCain, anyway.
But, in Florida, as elsewhere, the public is coming back down to earth after the days of Bush's 90% popularity.
And, they're hitting the ground rather hard, too.

I was struck by this passage, though:
After several conversations, Packwood began to suspect that Gray had no idea that he was white. His suspicions were confirmed when one of Gray's calls caught Packwood in the middle of track practice.
"Don't let the white kids walk you down," Gray quipped.
"Wait," Packwood responded. "You know I'm white, right?"
Silence. Uneasy laughter. Confirmation.
Reverse the races and it reads very differently, IMO.

From below Thanks for the appreciation of my mad questioning skillz. You know I helped Dick Durbin with his questions before the Pet food Industry mouthpiece. It was very gratifying to be able to give him solid questions and follow up questions to ask.
People always use the line from lawyers "Don't ask any questions that you don't know the answer too." But this only half the battle with media trained executives.
If you know HOW he will answer then you can bust him on this answer. Sometimes you bust him BEFORE he even answers the question.
Example,
"Now I'm going to ask you about such and such an event and before you answer, "I don't recall" I'd like to remind you of two things.
1) You are under oath and
2)I have in my possession a document where you talk about this exact event and have an exchange about it with a key player. So if you use a variation of "I don't recall" I will expect this clip to show up on the Daily Show and all the nightly news and all the talk radio station in the country showing the entire country how blatant your comment will be and you disrespect of the rule of law and the government of the American people.
Now here is the question:"
If you know HOW he will answer then you can bust him on this answer. Sometimes you bust him BEFORE he even answers the question.
Did you give me such questions for Rove in the previous thread?

The building started life as a a duplex, and the basically just split it into 4 aparment units. I'm on the 2nd floor, which was the bedroom space. If they'd kept the master bedroom as the MB (I use it as the living room)and knocked out the wall between the other two bedrooms and made an open space for LR/KIT, it would have worked better. That and added a real closet and cupboards. At least I have a walk up attic.
Not sure I'm ready for a 100sf house on wheels, but they sure look lovely, Buckeye.

You're forced to live organized. My house isn't huge, 3,500 sf, but we have rooms you can't go in because there's too much shit in them. With square feet comes a lackadaisical attitude toward organization.
At least in my case.
Well, you can sleep in your car, but you can't drive your house.
Caveat: I do NOT want to open the RFK remarks debate again, but I thought maybe this line of questioning might give Rove some rope to hang himself:
"What do you think of Hillary Clinton using your analysis that she is the stronger Democratic candidate? Do you still think she is after the Bobby Kennedy assassination remarks? Do you approve of the campaign tactics she is using that are modeled after what you devised in Texas against Ann Richards and in South Carolina against John McCain?"
Something like that?

However, NTodd's Pa's Wife certainly found a way to fill it all up, mostly with newspaper clippings and psych books--oh, and I still have lots of shit there, too. My disaster area isn't confined to my 1600 sf house...

the other thing would be to KNOW that he would be using the "I don't recall" and deal with the fact that "luckily for you that the actual email evidence that would jog your memory was destroyed by you. However I'm a computer expert and I know how to recover that data. Guess what, I hold in my hand a dvd of that information would you like to answer the question now or would you like me to release this info?"
