September 26, 2008

September 26, 2008

Sweet mother of Troy… could you please stop studying the damn Kerry tapes?  My lord this is awful… UPDATE: Our small debate party (four people) thought that Obama straight up lost.  We have talked to a lot of others that suggest otherwise.  Web opinion polls suggest otherwise.  We are confused over here… Bookmark on Delicious [...]
