Random Thoughts

Today against #24 Northwestern, Terrelle Pryor looks as good as he's looked all year. He's made some throws that I haven't seen him make all year. Clearly he is progressing--he'll be a difference-maker next year for sure. In short, great move by Senator Tressell to get him some experience this year. If he has any semblance of a supporting cast, Ohio State could do some damage next year.

Change? Rest assured that I will support our President-elect. I will not do so blindly--and I will call him out when he's full of shit. This whole campaign has been about change. Change. Hope. Change. So, how does Obama illustrate his dedication to bringing change to Washington? He appoints a partisan Washington insider, Congressman Rham Emanuel as his Chief of Staff. Emanuel just might be the MOST partisan hack in Washington. Interesting choice for your CoS. How better to bring change to Washington than to appoint a partisan former Clinton staffer. Change indeed.

Was she the right choice for McCain? I'd argue she was more the right choice for VP than McCain was for President. Republicans could have nominated Mickey Mouse and he would have lost. It didn't matter--voters had decided they'd had enough. Barrack Obama didnt beat John McCain, George W. Bush did. I think it shows a considerable lack of class by some in the McCain camp for throwing Palin under the bus post-election. The top of the ticket had more flows than the bottom. He was inarticulate and his strategy was terrible. A loss is a loss--show some class, losers.
