Perha...Interesting. He says its a symbolic gesture. Perhaps when he's "not outvoting," he can spend some time brushing up on grammar and pronunciation. He obviously skipped class several times.<BR/><BR/>A few years ago my father (a stickler for grammar and such) actually heard a conversation between KO and a caller. The caller used the word, "futile," pronouncing it as it should be pronounced "fewtull." After the call ended, KO decide to (wrongly) correct the caller by looking smugly up at the camera and saying, "oh, by the way, the word is "fewTILE." I haven't listened to him since. <BR/><BR/>And don't get me started on the misuse of "most importantly," (it should be "most important) and using the word "dove" when saying someone "dove into the water."

With her rock-star, "joe-six-pack" persona, combined with a 3 day cram course in sound bite memorization she could easily come off as "smarter-than-we-thought". I believe Joe Bidden will make his points all about McCain, hammering on his judgment based upon his record...not his selection of Sarah. I do predict that Bidden will use his advanced age, and Sarah's 2nd grade comment to poke fun at McCain's age, just to remind voters that Sarah could easily become the president.<BR/><BR/>All in all, I believe Bidden will do well vs. McCain and Sarah will recover some credibitly...then again, perhaps Sarah will give us some more Tina Fey material !!<BR/><BR/>jimbAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101732338712839774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32033624.post-9714969602546856632008-10-02T11:21:00.000-07:002008-10-02T11:21:00.000-07:00I agree 1000%.
