Man, if she got 27 million for her little town, that has to make her the best mayor in history. If she was really good at getting earmarks for her state while using a line-item veto to control state spending, that has to make her one of the best governors in History.
Now I'm impressed. Or are mayors and governors not supposed to get money for their local area.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Governors are to govern the state. Not funnel money from other regions of the state to your hometown."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Any Governor or Senator that get's more money back from the feds than they give is considered a success. Most senators campaign on victories like that.
At least in the real world.
Or do you think governing has nothing to do with money.

From your post:Originally posted by DanS
The first debate went to Gore marginally. The second debate went to Bush in a landslide, and the third was a tie. Advantage Bush.

The fact that Bush seemed to do well according to disproportionately pro-Bush viewers doesn't really prove all that much. I'm not sure what else we have to go on, but this hardly establishes that Bush "won." Not that I'm terribly interested in arguing the point -- you may very well be right -- but too many discussion with Ben Kenobi have made me a bit of a stickler about evidence.Viewers were a more pro-Bush group than likely voters at large, favoring Bush by a 13-point
margin going into the debate.

She did well for the people she represents. Democrats don't do that, I agree.

That is, unless you want to be lame and quibble with "most."
Anyway, wouldn't you agree that Gore did abysmally compared to what people thought he would do? As such, it was unpredictable. I will give you more credit than to think you enjoyed Mr. Gore's thousand references to a lock-box.Last edited by DanS; September 2, 2008, 17:18.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

No, we're in perfect agreement here. Much as I like Gore, I still seethe with anger every time I remember what a completely lame candidate he was. That election shouldn't have even been close.Originally posted by DanS

Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee who revealed Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, earlier this year used her line-item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live.
