Bill's Notes

Obama and vowels
I reserve the right to change my mind as more info comes out, but so far, Mr. Obama seems ... well, like he's got some real talent and common sense, a rare quality in a democrat :)

On the Republican side, I also like Mitt Romney. Rudy Giuliani also may be a good leader, and may make a good president, but if you don't know as a person, he's an asshole (and worse, a Yankees fan), then you're not from the New York metro area.

Could we really have an election in which both the major candidates' names end in vowels? I'm pretty sure we've never had a nominee with a name ending in a vowel that's not 'y' or a silent 'e'. If so, this is a sign of ... I dunno ... something.

You are correct, Geraldine Ferraro is the only Vice Presidential Candidate to end in a vowel that is not 'y' or a silent 'e'.
