#1 "She said, 'We're up against the machine and we just can't hand anything out for free,' " Walsh said. "She was very nice . . . but I wasn't getting anything."

Translation: We're part of the Cook County southside machine and we ain't about to send free stuff to rich white folks out in Naperville.

#2 Walsh said she declined the invitation because she would then feel obligated to bring in someone from McCain's campaign as well. That seemed a tad much for 7-year-olds, she said.

Why did I just get an image of 7-year-olds asking questions during a 'Girl Scout Debate'.

Can you imagine the types of questions they would ask? And what type of answers Obama and McCain might give?

#6 The Dems did have some 12,000 American flags they apparently had no other use for a few days ago. Carefully packaged and stored by the garbage dumpster. Could have used them as handouts. Golly, wherever did they go?
