See where CNN is gonna carry Sarah Palin's speech tonite to the t-party event. Wonder if she will quit half-way through and I wonder if viewers will be able to tell if they're watching CNN or Saturday Night Live.

wish there was a "yawn" smilie thingy.....guess this one will do Rolling Eyes

there are more important things in this world that occupy my thoughts than following the sad life of a quitter.

Speaking of Republicans --

Mr Pasque, how about your Sen. Thune? I see his name coming up more and more as a possible 2012 Candidate. What's your take on him? And I see he's from Murdo - talk about a "small" town kid doing good.

She may not be the most erudite but "how's the hopey,changy thing working out for ya?" pretty much says it all.

Marshall...women think he's handsome. As far as small town kid doing good....I can't say because he pretty much votes no on everything. He's going into his 2010 Senate re-election bid with more cash-on-hand than Bill Gates and nobody to run against. Maybe he'll donate some of it to help staighten out the problems he's against or to lower the deficit or the national debt or help out some in the 5 of the 10 poorest counties in America (which are all close to Murdo). But most probably will bank it for his Presidential campaign.

So where's all his money coming from? From within or outside the state?

Podesta Group, American Gas Association, National Mining Association, Capitol City Brewing Company, National Republican Senatorial Committee, Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, ....list is quite extensive. Kind of odd that he'd garner donations running un- opposed? Confused

Looks like outside. We're not a wealthy state.

Looks to be a popular fellow - must be something to those rumors I'm hearing. I did notice that one of those 2009 events was actually held in SD - the Pheasant Hunt in Chamberlain. That probably added some out-of-state money to the local economy as well as his funds.
Thanks
