For me, at this point, this is very vague as there is more than one point to 
this "birth certificate issue" and I don't know which points he covered.

LOL, that about sums it, doesn't it? (not really)

Well, I like your assessment-all of it.  I think it's probably on target.  As 
for the Resko stuff, I ask what politician doesn't have some kind of dirty 
deal in his/her background....
I don't believe he has quit smoking yet, though, even though I think most 
folks think he has.  I think if he had quit, he'd be a bit chunkier-judging 
some photos I saw of him as a youth.  Actually, the fact that he is a smoker 
makes me like him more.  I just hate it when everyone makes excuses for his 
foibles...why can't he have some serious faults like everyone else?  Every 
time one pops up, someone's right there with the spin machine or the paint 
brush to cover it up.

There's a few months to go.  Anything can happen in a dead heat.  Biden could 
stick his foot in his mouth again, Cindy could relapse, LA could be nuked, 
Gustav could bankrupt us, Hillary could stage a coup (remember the whole 
Klinton thing)...lol...

Hey, did you see how the lobbyists are getting around the rules-the rules 
intended to reform elections?  I forget the geezer's name, but he was 
unashamed yesterday when confronted about all the loopholes they were taking 
advantage of, things like serving food on large spoons since forks and knives 
were banned...it was crazy.  I'm sure that it will be the same next week at 
the RNC.

Earlier in the week there was a huge bash put on by the telcom industry and
only those dems who voted for telcom immunity were invited.  Rules were made
by thise who benefit most from not having rules so they build in huge
loopholes.

We need better campaign financing but I am not sure how it could be
accomplished.
