[Rhodes22-list] Campaigns and Such (was Gas in TN-Brad) Political

Herb,

You're on to something.  A few weeks ago I posted about my former
attorney, Julia, who took on some of Vanderbilt's finest law school
graduates. They would drone on for hours ($250 an hour I might add)
and when they were done bleating, Julia would smoke holes in their
argument in less than 60 seconds. An issue I've preached for 34 years
as an adult education instructor in aviation is to know and respect
one's own limits.  Let's give credit where credit is due:  Obama
didn't practice courtroom law because he can't think on his feet.
Palin has that kind of raw intelligence that the 'coasters' love to
mock, but she can make things happen and get things done.  It drives
them crazy.
