<p>I personally like the McCain / Thompson combination, only becuase I can call it the “Grumpy Old Men” ticket.</p>
<p>THAT WAS BULLET SPEAKING! Prior post was PIMA</p>
<p>GUILIANI? Is he still in the game?</p>
<p>“ok as the one who started the “done…cooked…and baked” thread (It was for Hillary) I would like to see…is xx now the newspaper we throw out with yesterdays trash”</p>
<p>why? I like ‘done cooked and baked’ title. No need to change.</p>
<p>Bullet speaking again. </p>

<p>Yeah, and we all liked “Where’s the beef?” when it first came out. (I even knew someone who had the T-Shirt!) :)</p>
<p>I like that! I think someone should start a post about a candidate asking “Where’s the Beef?”</p>
<p>Re: Death of Arthur Branch</p>
<p>2 (?) episodes before the end of the series, they had McCoy (played by Sam Waterson) moving into Branch’s office after his promotion to DA. From the dialog, it sounded like they were moving Branch’s stuff out as if he’d died and wasn’t coming back. I believe they did say he was dead. </p>
<p>I know that Fred Thompson asked to be released from his contract before his run and the network agreed. So he’s got no run and he’s got no job. Uh-oh. The series, however, has been picked up for at least 4 more years. Yay!</p>
<p>Just happened to see this article from the NYT. Looks like he wasn’t killed off, after all. </p>

<p>Ufortunately, we can’t take all the good from each of the remaining 5 (including even Ron Paul) candidates to create a best candidate. So we’ll be left holding our nose and voting. Don’t know enough about Romney, but he might be the best left. Huckabee unfortunately is so wrong about economics/taxes. Win or lose, this election year will map out the future direction of the party. In the case of a loss, look for a big resurgence in 2 years when the party in control of congress AND the Presidency fails to deliver.</p>

<p>Good one - best snort/laugh of the day. Watch out you’ll start to wound like Curmudgeon.</p>
<p>Their Slogan…“Get Off My Lawn!”</p>
<p>Standard campaign stump speech:</p>
<p>“You think you have it tough? Bah! Let me tell you, back in my day…” They then go off for the next ten minute telling us about how tough life was on the priarie. Led to a chiar, where they immediately fall asleep, but grumbles every few minutes, “you yung-uns these days…”</p>
<p>Ugly inaugural day confrontation between the two when they argue constantly in the rear of the Limo about the air conditioning (McCain: “It’s too damm hot!”, Thompson: “Why do you have it set so looow!”), then both argue with the limo driver about his driving skills and the directions to the White House. (McCain: 'Slow down for pete’s sake. You’re going to kill us!" Thompson: “You were supposed to take a left onto Constitution Ave. Now we’re gonna be late!”)
