If we had given such critical attention to the spouses of the candidates, or lack of same, would we have elected Thomas Jefferson? Abraham Lincoln? Harry Truman?

As for myself in 2008, I know which presidential candidate I prefer, but I'm still undecided about candidates for the equally important offices of First Spouse, First Daughter, First House-Pet and First Pool-Boy.

Roger:

I was at that concert and I heard that performance live. I was so far from the stage, however, that I couldn't even be sure which was Simon and which was Garfunkel.

I had a much better view (about thirty feet directly in front of them) when they reunited for a concert in the Paramount Theater. Their first two songs were "America" and "The Boxer," and I was in heaven.

Wow. The Boxer is a masterpiece of a song.

Probably not.

But then again, there wasn't the same sort of media access that there is today.

Personally, I think spouse-wariness might be one good reason Hillary won't get the VP nod.

While the two women are about equally liked, Michelle Obama is twice as disliked as Cindy McCain.

"romantic" ...say... "vulgarity."

How will Cindy McCain's past and present controversies affect her husband's campaign? How will they affect her performance if she finds herself in the role of First Lady?

Cindy wouldn't be the first First Lady to run into cookie trouble.


Hilary's Cookie Crack

C is for Clinton

I thought "C" is for "Cindy." Maybe it's "S" for "Sin-D." But if that's the case, what letter is for "sex"? Maybe it's "H" for "harlot." You can't accuse Hillary of that, but it has always been Cindy's stock and trade. But if that's the case, what letter is for "hypocrite" (Greek for "actor")? That has to be reserved for our beloved Gipper, leaving the letter "M" (previously for "movie star") free so it can stand for "McCain" ...or "money." Still there is the problem of what letter is for "Cindy." I know, "W" for "whore" - now the alphabet makes sense!

Interesting story. Says something about Cindy, I think.

Not very nice, either.

Didn't Jesus of Nazareth say that when giving to charity to be quiet about it or it's worth nothing? Bragging about a (non-existent?!) relationship with Mother Teresa of Calcutta has just gotta fall under that category somehow.

Truly prompts the question, as does so much else, "What if this were Michelle Obama? "

Cindy McCain also said that the only way to get around in Arizona is by small private plane.
