    By the way, Craig plays the Palin card in his first debate last night.

    "Who is the current secretary of defense" qualifies as a stumper? That reporter should be embarrassed. It almost sounds like a plant intended to make James look good and THE MEDIA!!!!!!!!! look bad.

    Unless it was one of those ESPN docudrama "press conferences."

    He did her before or after Glen Rice?

    I wonder if the Mike Leach thing comes into play in the campaign, or if he will even be competitive enough in the campaign for it to be brought up.

    Certainly had a nifty little run of drunk governors, recently.
     
  7. As someone's who in the middle of Texas, I expected to hear a little more about Craig James.

    I saw one commercial so far during a Fox news Republican Nomination Circus Debate #1,563

    ONE! Am I supposed to vote for you because of your SMU history? And your cowboy hat in the ads?

    GTFO with that noise...or lack thereof

    The Post Game article stated that James was less popular in West Texas than the President. That IS unpopular.

    WTF, unless James's son was a goddamn Heisman candidate (and of course, he wasn't), if I was Leach, I would have booted him straight off the team.

    I hate to say it, but James is kind of right here. It's one thing when someone's idiocy comes out organically - Palin with the softball newspaper question or Rick Perry not being able to name three agencies or Herman Cain talking about "Uzbeky-beky-beky-beky-stan" and making fun of an important country.

    But firing pop quizzes at candidates, just hoping they will botch them so that we can all have a headline, seems silly to me.

    That's true. But if you're going to do it, ask who the HUD secretary is, or the minority whip, or something like that. The Secretary of Defense? Not only is it inflammatory to ask, it does nothing to indicate the depth of James' knowledge even if he does get it right.
