I've always wondered if the way Axelrod marketed Obama was going to bring problems later down the road.
Obama cannot attack him like a vicious dog but other Democrats can!

Have you checked a map lately? His state may border Kentucky, but the Arkansas border is a heck of a lot closer to the Kentucky border than his city-Chicago.

I think I can! I think I can! I think I can pull Obama's campaign out of the toilet! When you are the Senator of a state you should know which states you share a border with. Obama doesn't have a clue. McCain can be president of these 50 United States and Obama can be president of the 8 extra states he campaigned in. Makes putting an "E" on the end of potato (which is the english way of spelling the word) look pretty brilliant.

1) The English do not spell potato "potatoe"! "Potatoe" was a variant spelling that faded away in GB around the time Tess Durbeyfield was hanged.

2) If you believe(d) "potatoe" is the English way of spelling it, then your sentence makes no sense.
