	Yes, that proves that McCain really liked Bush despite the nasty 2000  
primary campaign and the fact that McCain nearly left the GOP in the  
aftermath.

	But, of course, aimed to do quite a bit and did bomb a NYC Police Dept.

> Bill Ayres and Barack Obama have been in the same room

	Obama also blurbed a book of Ayres, launched his political career at  
Ayres's home and Obama's own campaign described a "friendly"  
relationship between the men as late as early this year. CNN has a  
nice report:

	Trying to tie Palin to Vogler is going to be a lot more difficult...  
actually, impossible.

	You know that is a lie as well as I do. The idea of trying to  
eliminate disagreement by shouting out false charges of racism is  
terribly unfortunate and brings an unneeded chill to free speech.
