4. You don't hit them with your best shot until you've worn down your opponent
Take him to the ropes then fight like a butterfly
and sting like a bee.

10. Endurance, discipline and strength in wrestling or boxing
Is the key on winning the fight. I've won far more matches on endurance, intelligence
and discipline than I ever did on strength.

8. Are we having fun yet?
Oh yeah. All I want for Christmas are my Keating Five.

It just doesn't get any better. Well, except that Obama has filed a suit over alleged voter suppression plan.

5. Timing, timing, timing ... is everything sometimes. And Barack's sense of timing has been stellar
at least so far. And it certainly does seem that the time is now for the Keating Five
hammer to fall.

I trust Barack, et. al. to know the right time, but IMHO the time is nigh.

6. It just blows my mind that a corrupt senator's, former corruption could possibly be off the table,
for today's media. What a world. Thank you Senator Obama, for bringing this to the fore again.

11. what blows MY mind is how the media refuses to consider anything an issue until the other candidate
"makes" it an issue.

once upon a time, journalists took pride in not getting too close to their subject, not letting themselves get manipulated. in fact, it was scandalous for a politicians to even try.

today, media personalities (the title "journalist" hardly fits) must be spoon-fed stories, analysis, talking point, etc.

pathetic. american versions of pravda back in the days of the soviets. today, pravda is by far the better news source.

14. Its Been Raised Before - Big Media Just Refuse To Cover It.
The best example of Big Media's willful ignorance was the John Edwards affair where Big Media used it to reapeted attack Obama and Clinton even though John McCain was the candidate who had an affair. The excuse offered was that the affair was over 30 years ago, but McCain's POW experience was over thirty years ago, but that does not prevent McCain from mentioning it every other third sentence.

16. Tucker Bounds disapproves
The topic was raised briefly during a 20-minute news conference here today. It drew sharp criticism from the McCain campaign, with a spokesman saying: “Apparently, Obama’s lively calls for new politics ended today.”

“If Barack Obama doesn’t have the strength to stand up to his own standards, how is he going to stand up for hardworking Americans?” said Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for Mr. McCain.


:rofl:
