Movie-star charisma, money, and a famous and beautiful wife who happens to be a member of one of the most politically connected families in the US. Both won it all in 2003 and 2004 despite many having doubts about his/their qualifications including being in the Pac-10. So far, he’s proven to be competent, moderate, and has a good track record of getting things done. Yet, he always seems to come up against an entirely unexpected and insurmountable obstacle preventing him from winning it all whether it’s losing to 41 point underdog Stanford (2007), lowly UCLA(2006), Vince Young. or that pesky requirement that all presidents must be natural born citizens. Perhaps the only real annoying thing about him is the way he repeatedly mispronounces California and the repetitiveness of the fight song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-87251284837529246062008-01-11T16:03:00.000-05:002008-01-11T16:03:00.000-05:00Awesome.

Came into the campaign looking like a big-time contender, but the season was over as soon as it began. (Syracuse/"Obama is clean" comment)<BR/><BR/>Chris Dodd - UConn. Not only is he from Connecticut, he did and said all the right things in a totally unspectacular way, so nobody took him seriously. But perhaps they were right because in the end, neither managed to earn any votes. (Actually, I hate this one - UConn is totally the new kid on the block and that doesn't fit with Dodd.)<BR/><BR/>Sam Brownback - Boston College. Closest ties are to rich Jesuits. Also, nobody likes or pays much attention to Sam Brownback or Boston College.<BR/><BR/>Tom Tancredo<BR/>Tommy Thompson<BR/>Jim Gilmore<BR/>I don't know a damn thing about any of these guys.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, great job on this.
