Mickey Edwards, Princeton lecturer and former Republican congressman:
Oh, brother. What idiot came up with this stunt? Reduce...

It ranks somewhere on the stupidity scale between plain silly and numbingly desperate. McCain and Obama are both members of the senate and they're both able to help craft a solution if they wish to do so without putting the presidential campaign on hold; after all, I’m sure congressional leaders would be willing to accept their calls if they have some important insights to impart. And while one of them will eventually become president, neither one is president yet, nor is either one a member of the congressional leadership; I’m confident that somehow the administration and the other 533 members of congress will be able to muddle through without tapping into the superior wisdom and intellect of their nominees. Sorry, john; it really sounds like you're afraid to debate. This sounds like the sort of ploy we used to use in junior high school elections.

3. He really has nothing left.

Ammo bag is empty, John. Maybe you can start calling him a Muslim again.

4. Edwards used to be my Congressman and my after school job was across the hall from his local office.

Most of the time he seemed like one of the more sensible Repugs. He was actually a really nice guy. And now is the first time in, well, ever, that I think I've agreed with him.

7. I lived in Mickey's district too....he's old school

Not a neo con at all. He was a simple fiscal conservative who didn't seem to delve much into the social issues. Of course that was before the old school repugs were drummed out of the party in favor of the evangelical moonbats.

5. It requires the use of technology

"What is this thing called a telephone?" John McCain, 9-24-2008

6. Hey, that was my question, Mickey!

Whose idea was the run and hide strategy..and the zipping of palin's lips?
