    Don't think this is a d_b, but you never know ...

    The Orlando Sentinel got John McCain and Barack Obama to pose for their covers. They manipulated the press runs, too. Obama is on the front and McCain on the back for half of it. Then McCain is on the front and Obama on the back for the other half. The sections come out Friday.

    I hope McCain would keep "The Football" more secure than he does the football.

    Yep, they did it again. The Sentinel always finds a way to blow the rest of us out of the water with its special section covers.

    Jack Kemp is wondering why he couldn't have held off running for 12 more years.
     
  5. If Barack wants to carry the state, he shouldve asked to pose with Tebow.

    Spinning's next question: Does McFraud know how to hold a football?

    Um, yeap ... that is a better concept -- and WAY better "get" -- than ANYONE else will have. Way to go, Orlando.

    Okay, so who here works or lives near the Orlando area and can send me a copy?

    Personally, I'm calling the Sentinel office tomorrow and ordering a single copy to be shipped cross-country.

    Most papers still do that, right? :)

    But yeah ... totally awesome.

    The old sucker looks like he's posing with the season's first cantaloupe for the Sun City Independent.

    Do McCain or Obama have something to do with football that I'm not aware of?

    I'm gonna set up a Miley Cyrus photo shoot for the Plain-Dealer and leave the Sentinel in the dirt.
