Next you’ll be telling me Al Gore wrote Earth in the Balance. All political speeches are collaborations between ghost writers & the presenter. W/the exception of Clinton’s, all speeches also got “edited” (read: rewritten) by McAuliffe’s staff. It won’t be any different in NYC.
Huh? I was, what, the 14th poster in this thread. I don’t think he gave a bad speech, I was just pointing out that the overwhelming number of people who posted before me, a large majority made ‘presidential’ comments ith knowing very little about him. Maybe my knee condition caused me to misread the following:
Kalhoun: “I think he’s great. I’d like to see him go for it in 2012 or 2016. I really think he’d have a chance, too”.
In a presidential run or in the Olympics?
choie: “God willing – a future presidential candidate”.
I thought we were supposed to be taking God out of politics
Eva Luna: “Hell, I could get excited about voting for him, and the last person I could have gotten excited about voting for was Jimmy Cater…Obama kicked butt tonight. I could totally see him in the White House someday”.
As a chef?
Knorf: "…As my friend Tim put it, “he obviously asserted himself as a national political leader, primarily on the basis of his ability to transcend politics through his ideas.”
kunilou: “…Keep an eye on this guy. If he can have that kind of effect on my daughter, he’s going places”.
yellowval: “…I’m way more excited about him than I am about Kerry or Edwards…”
DMark: “I would not at all be surprised to see his name mentioned for a future run at the office of President!”
With the exception of a couple wise cracks and an assination prediction, the tone here sounded hauntingly familiar to when Gov. Cuomo (as lousy executive - but at least with a record and experience) floored them.
