Top Ten Reasons You Know Your Presidential Bid Is In Trouble

10. Your lead in your home state keeps shrinking.
9. Your opponent draws over 75,000 people to his nomination acceptance speech.
8. Great sound bytes like this: McCain may pay $100 for his loafers, but we'll pay for his flip flops (Bill Richardson).
7. Or this: I want a President who cares more about Barney Smith that Smith Barney (Barney Smith - average American).
6. You think the word maverick means sidekick.
5. The best you could come up with for your convention spin is: Mile High, Inch Deep (let's talk about the real issues facing Americans, ok).
4. You have so much experience that your running mate doesn't really need any.
3. You make fun of your opponent's "celebrity" status and then choose a beauty queen as your running mate.
2. Your choice for VP comes from your everyone-else-said-no list.
1. You pick your running mate because you think the American voters are so stupid they will vote for a ticket just because there's a woman on it, even though your Administration will be nothing but an affront to women.

Thanks Katie. Good job. There's a great piece in the Washington Post by Howard Wolfson that talks about his conversion. It was a great convention even on my computer from the DNC website. JudyZola

P.S. Saw David Goss in the crowd on Thursday night.
