1 - The Republicans don't have anyone close to Geraldine Ferraro or Hilary Rodham Clinton as serious-minded contenders for the office of President of the United States, which is unfortunate for the GOP because hockey moms are an important demographic and...
2 - I have always suspected that Sarah Palin is neither well-read nor well-travelled which equates to a diminished capacity for critical analysis of complex world issues. Recall that during the Katie Couric interview she couldn't give an answer to what kind of political magazines and newspapers she reads, and mocked the intellectual-types who send their kids off to backpack across Europe. What better way to learn about the world around you?
3 - Sarah Palin is undoubtedly passionate and full of "spunk." But I don't want someone with spunk running the nation. I'd prefer a considerate, strong-willed, intelligent person.
4 - I also suspect that Palin's world view reflects that of a lot of other hockey moms - they know very little about the world around them. Perhaps being overburdened with raising families, running the house, keeping their children safe, and getting kids to and from school leaves little energy or time to consider the woes of the nation and the world beyond the ice-rink, the soccer pitch, or the cul-de-sac. One thing is for certain - the Sarah Palin demographic is a large group, they are a key swing vote, and they send an awful lot of their children into harms way via the military. I desperately want to be wrong about this one. My son shares the pitch with a lot of shiny-eyed, beautiful young people.
Spirited Dona believes NATO and or UN officials should be standing strong with Mikheil, in the actual Tbillisi capital, or prepare to send him humanitarian packages. I saw police cars run over and tossed for fun aggression on television by the Russians in Georga, just what I expected, as Condoleeza came and left She was right to go, just not leave him, alone. I just saw a lady in a food line. The Russians killed her brother, her only relative. She asked "why" and "what" am I to live for now! Wars I and II started exactly like this. Now, I behold the hesitation, that honor requires of the world to take action, with mine own eyes. President Mikheil was born under Russian rule. Will he die under Russian rule?

George Bush looks like he's on the Ed Sullivan show.
Just like my career, poster girl, great Democrat, and all around great American girl! Christie Brinkley! For those of you naysayers, I might be a poster girl, if fellow blogger, young Dine, has his dad take a poll in Iraq, that the troops need a poster girl, with a slight less snazz than Christie. We don't want to over occupy the thoughts of our troops!
The Stats
Christie has been to Democratic fundraisers, hosted them, too!
Is the mother of a music prodigy, Alexa Ray Joel, and horse lovers, son Jack, and daughter, Sailor!
A softie who won the Tough Cookie Award this year!
I think she is my latest girl crush!

The bad stats
Morgan broke his arm with elbow and had surgery for nerve endings
The spotlight chooses Morgan, not the other way around. Due to the interest in his life, Morgan has said he has been seperated from hiis wife a very long spell, and, yes, it is ending in divorce. Even the wiseest of us have problems.
The Good stats
He was in the successful picture, "Dark Knight". Although, like a lot of you I go long periods without seeing Morgan, photos show him very involved.
He owns a restaurant in Clarksdale, Mississippi and Memphis called "Ground Zero. a Blues club with southern cuisine!
He divides his time between his native Tennessee, his native Mississippi, and his adopted New York.
God bless, Mr. Morgan Freeman! A man who believes everyone is a regular American. Although, he is not officially involved in the campaign, he will vote our presumptive nominee, Sen Barack Obama.
