Powell and Rice could never do this first time out ... they'd need a race over the track first. You can run for local office (maiden) ... state office (allowance) ... or even senator or governor in your home state (state-bred stakes) ... but not for president (G1) first time out.

I love the analogy but it's true. Running for president as your first political election is like a maiden first time starter debuting in the Kentucky Derby.

I'll give you 8-1 that Condie is a maiden.
But she's got good hair. So she just might break her "maiden" soon.

I jokingly call her a triple threat. She's a "maiden" or something close to it (not that there's anything wrong with that), a female, and a black.
Then you add Republican to the mix and it just does not compute.

Seriously though, I really admire her. Hope she survives the Bush presidency without taking too much damage.

I also hope she survives the Bush presidency.
She seems to be very intelligent and articulate.
I hope she does well in her future, though I don't think voters will easily forget the excuses she's made defending the present policies.

Do you mean the policies which have kept all of us safe and secure at our keyboards for the past five years?

Don't think it wasn't noticed that you and your friends never responded to that post.

This thread has been like a chess club room ... a Grand Master taking on a dozen chumps at once ... and beating them all eased up.

Yeah ... that's the ticket ... Bold Brooklynite ... Grand Master of the Off Topic-General Forum ...

... the rest ... nowhere.

Truly a legend in your own mind...as I believe I said in response somewhere to a post by Scuds...arrogance isn't a bad thing until paired with stupidity! When you've been shown to be a narrow-minded fool and still think you've won the argument, you are beyond help...and a complete waste of time to respond to anymore. Concrete thinking, robotic echolalia...a true credit to the American right! You remind me of the joke about the ant floating downstream on it's back yelling, "raise the drawbridge boys, I got a hard-on!" Sorry to tell you guy, but like that ant, the logic and "evidence" behind your arguments simply doesn't come close!

And yet ... and yet ... and yet ...

... you and all your leftist buddies have demonstrated to this entire forum ... that you're completely incapable of directly addressing any of my posts ... or any of my questions ... and/or responding to them ... much less ... much less putting together a cogent thought of your own.

But hey ... that's OK ... 'cause this is a horse racing forum ... and all of you guys are very knowledgable when it comes to the ponies ... and I love and admire you for it.

So stick to the horse racing forums ... because when it comes to this one ... the conclusion is abundantly clear ...

Bold Brooklynite ... Grand Master of the Off Topic-General Forum !!!

Here is the classic post Bold B.
You might want to take the time to read it.
I'll probably repost it here another twenty five times in case you missed it.

Hank Ballard wrote and recorded "The Twist" in 1958 ... Chubby Checker made a cover version in 1959 ... but it bombed.

Checker's version gained some audience in 1960 ... but only as a hit song ... not as a dance.

In late 1961 ... Checker recorded "Twist Again (Like You Did Last Summer)" which became a hit song and a new dance novelty. "The Twist" was then re-released and became a smash hit song ... and a national dance craze.
