I don't see much of a scandal here. It barely rises to the interest level of a small-town community newspaper.

People get caught up in the moment. Good speech, but one that will be forgotten in 48 hours.

Seth, there are way too many syllables in that ticket. And it sounds like something you would order at Baskin Robbins.
And you Sebelius people just need to go away. I would have thought over the past several weeks you would have at least tried to make a coherent case for the woman.

I hope Obama was scanned with a Geiger counter after he left.

On a side note regarding the Mark Kirk race, I have to say I was majorly bummed to learn that his opponent, Dan Seals, is not the country western singer. Instead, he's just another bozo politician. Disappointing.

I have to admit I get a laugh every time I see a post like this: Democratic congressional nominee Joe Fringe is being written off as a second tier candidate in the race against his entrenched Repuiblican opponent, but there are signs he has a real chance this year....blah blah blah.
Then he goes on to lose in November by 50 points.
Thanks for the unintentional hilarity, folks.

These posts are useless. Some of you are even getting the home states wrong. Others of you obvious don't follow politics that closely. And Lloyd Bentsen died some years back, you knucklehead. A dead man hasn't been put on a presidential ticket since Bob Dole in 1996!

If Rick Santorum were still in the Senate, he'd be a slam-dunk for McCain. So much so, I wouldn't be surpised if he's on the list anyway. Ditto for George "Macaca" Allen. Tom Ridge is another possibility, perhaps even a more credible one.

Bill Richardson and Joe Biden as VP and Secretary of State, in either order. Mike Gravel in the newly created position of court jester. Hagel or Wes Clark at DoD would be great. Kucinich as Energy Secretary (for his experience fighting corrupt utilities in Cleveland alone). I'd like to see fair traders at labor and commerce, though I'm not familiar with who those people would be. I'd serious consider giving Paul O'Neill (or a like-minded alternative)another shot at Treasury - he was on the right track before he got sacked.
Igelsias might be a little underqualified for AG, but nonetheless an inspired choice. The other cabinet posts, I can't really qualify an opinion.

Of course it's suspicious. These people have become so arrogant. They don't even try to be subtle anymore. It actually looks like they're trying to send a message.
