You know, right next to Russia.  I understand Georgia is even closer to Russia.  Is Bob Keller from Georgia by any chance?

After today's bailout vote news, this write-in candidate idea may have some legs.  As Leno joked tonight on the Tonight Show, the bailout plan was long on smoke and longer on mirrors. Mischief [:-,]

UPI Dateline: September 30, 2008 @ 08:27 EST,  York, PA.

Just moments ago, reporters interviewed an excited gathering of Trainheads leaving an illegal after-hours model/toy train club to get their opinions on the declared candidates for the upcoming Presidential election.  Of primary concern to those interviewed was the ability of either candidate to serve out their term in office, and the implications a transfer of power to their respective vice-presidential selections might have.

One partisan Trainhead took issue with Mayor Chief Eagles' propensity to incur serious, self-inflicted injuries with sledge hammers.  Another countered with Senator Jon's affinity for riding unmuffled, large displacement motorcycles without Secret Service protection at dangerous venues such Sturgis.

Another Trainhead observed "Chief Eagles's body can only withstand so many years of exposure to grits and hammers.  And it is only a matter of time before Senator Jon gets into a deadly argument with a member of a motorcycle club over his controversial position on the Top 5 Postwar Engines.  If they don't get him, a disgruntled 80 year old local resident will make an attempt on his life over the 110 decibels his bike cranks out, under power, riding through their neighborhood."

Neither Chief nor Jon returned phone calls from the press to respond to these voter concerns.

A fourth Trainhead noted, "The future of the free toy train world is at stake here.  And, Frankly,  my vote will depend on whom each candidate selects as their vice-presidential running mate.  Both Overlord and Lionelsoni are highly qualified.  But the first has a dangerously high level of uncensored media exposure.  The latter is correct far too often on the key train issues, and I don't trust any politician with sound judgement backed by facts and experience."

Both vice-presidential candidates were likewise unavailable for comment and did not return media calls.

Well Frank I hope you know there's no backing down now. Although you continually diss us northerners, I'll have to vote for you. You seem like you'll stand up for us. When we shove you under the bus for something we did, can you take it? Time will tell, keep up the fight!, and buy trains from everywhere you can grab them, Joe

P.S. no speaches, I can't take the lying!

Time to resurrect this one?  Imagine the possibilities if our toy/model train interests were properly represented?  I need to know where these two candidates stand on bailouts for addicted trainiacs and tax incentives for those who undertake the construction of a new layout.

I'm still voting for Jon. I like his taste in suds and motorcycles. Besides, he's practically a neighbor.  

Hmmm, now I see Rich might be throwing his hat in the ring.... A third party candidate!  I need to hear his "platform" - does he prefer wood or brick, which side of the track does he put his depots?

Actually, Chief, it was RT who started all of this.  Big Smile [:D]  He must have been promised a heavy position in your administration.

Chief.....where did you get that link "Chief Eagles for President 08?  Pretty funny stuff.  Media coverage, billboards, bus advertisements.  And the fund raising for such high profile, expensive media exposure?  Didn't ever fathom the media could be bought off so easily.
