Guys,
Speaking about the Presidential Primaries;Ron Paul was ditched by his own Son.

The man has twice the Grass Roots Organization that anyone else in the Republican Party has.
He was the one person who was most capable of fusing it with New Blood.
Now his Son has sold out the entire idea to the Neocons.
Most dissapointing.
It shows in Politics as in everything else,Everybody has a price.
Regards
Ashish.

PC,
Good point.
My only issue in all of this is that how do you get the Memo through to Obama?
Dude,Obama-You flopped its time to step aside and let someone else try their turn!
Obama is waaay to thick-skinned to change anything today.

PC,
I wonder why people even Bother with Election rallies anymore.
Its all a question of who lies more in my opinion.
I would rather take the time out to do some Reading which I thoroughly enjoy!

Guys,
I don't get it.
What's the big deal about this thoughtprocess that the Media benefits the most from all this Electioneering???
After all,we all have to put Food on the Table right?
People in Media also have the same issues which normal people have-They are running a Business for heaven's sake.

A friend of mine was wounded in the Gabrielle Giffords shooting last year, so I'm swearing off those, too.
@Street Smart - I'm swearing off political shootings myself. :-)
In response to @Broadways poll - I've never been to a political rally for the major parties.

@Broadway...ha, ha, tell us how you REALLY feel about political rallies! Seriously, I think the poll is a great idea, so I'm weighing in.
Never been to a political rally; never plan to attend one. I did go to a fundraising dinner for a California state senate candidate once (the husband of a college friend of mine) and that was a whole new circle of hell we haven't even discussed!
Then there's the "town hall meeting," another unique torture device. A friend of mine was wounded in the Gabrielle Giffords shooting last year, so I'm swearing off those, too.
But I do vote...

I don't know who goes to political rallies, period, with kids or otherwise. To me, they seem like the lamest, choreographed form of entertainment possible. I would rather watch street performers, even the kind that paint themselves with metallic paint and don't move for hours on end. Impromptu poll here ... anybody ever attend a political rally for one of the two major parties?
Agreed - Obama really wants to show he's still "got it" with the crowd-drawing charisma.
Has anybody fainted at his Obama's speeches lately? Maybe when the weather gets a little warmer we'll see some stories about that again.
Charisma can't be forced.

Thanks for the clarification, @Broadway. I'm sure you're right that the notes aren't robo-created! It still seems lame to me. What kind of person takes his/her kid out of school to go to a political rally? In 2008 maybe, but not now.
Actually, I think that's what 's at the root of this. I think Obama just wants to show that he's still "got it" with the crowd-drawing charisma. But remember that everyone who gets close to the First Family needs to be vetted by the Secret Service (there's a joke there, but I'm above making it!)
None of this audience participation stuff is EVER spontaneous. Those kids and their families were pre-chosen for their 15 seconds of fame, so cute PR but at the end of the day, so what?
