#1 When he promotes his tax cut record, and he has done them, note very well he was able to because the state is heavily invested in Big Oil and that has generated significant income to the state treasury.

Note well his backing of the former state AG for Congress who ignored repeated reports of corruption in the Treasurer's office. The Fed's got the former and previous Treasurer for criminal activity.

He waffles on the open border issue, one day demanding the feds do something and the next day directing state agencies to "don't ask, don't tell" when illegals use state services.

He took a low profile during the Wen Ho Lee 'get the Chinaman' witch hunt carried out at Los Alamos during his tenure as Energy Secretary.

Another one hiding behind a mask seeking power. Not that bad for a governor, but not one we could afford during the WoT to be on the threat. More talk much less action type.

#3 And he's the most qualified donk in the race so far. And the most likely to win in the general election. Thank goodness they'll nominate Hillary or Gore.

#6 so "the best of the worst" is what you're saying?

#7 Yup.

The most interesting part of the donk race will be to see who hires Sandy Burglar as foreign policy advisor. Otherwise, it'll be like the village idiot contest at the county fair.
