Craig James for Senate 2012

[MacDaddy]

It's funny, I agree with thought that knowing names of various department heads or heads of state is overrated. But I do think any politician should know what a gallon of milk costs, what a gallon of gas costs, the fed budget total, the national debt and the current unemployment rate in his state.
Too often the only numbers these people know are their fundraising totals, their Dem/Rep ratio in their district and their golf handicap.

Having a group of candidates compete on "The Price is Right" would be must-see TV.

Why do I think Craig James would be the "$1 over the highest bid guy?"

 

[Jake_Taylor]

How much could a banana cost?

Dickbaggy? Yes. Good strategy? Frequently.

. . . remains a serious flaw in the show. Everyone should have to declare, simultaneously, and cut out that bull****.

James doesn't have a chance in this field. Here's the latest poll I found.

"James, who formally launched his campaign last week, draws 4 percent support. The former SMU Mustang and New England Patriot running back is struggling to overcome two liabilities: he’s largely unknown and he’s unpopular among those who know him."

 

[LongTimeListener]

Other than the "largely unknown" part, he appears to have carried his broadcasting persona into politics.

The utter lack of self-knowledge among too many politicians remains mindboggling.

Craig James, who gave $300,000 to his campaign and won 4 percent of the vote, humbly seeks your support in paying off his debts.

Mike Leach is available to float a loan.

I love that his header says "Conservative for U.S. Senate" and then he goes on to do that libbrull socialist pinko thing of asking for a free handout. Hey Craig, pick yourself up by your bootstraps and start selling Cutco knives to pay down that debt.

 

[DanOregon]

He didn't build that debt on his own.

 

[Mark2010]

That's funny.

The guy in the letter sent $5.

Poor Craig. Guess he shouldn't have quit his day job.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Send him a McDonald's coupon.

Or a McDonald's job app.

 

[Mark2010]

Me thinks Craig winds up as a college athletic director within a few years.

 

[Armchair_QB]

I don't think Bob Jones has an athletic department.

 

[SockPuppet]

Let's all send The Pony our 2 cents' worth ... literally. Tape 2 pennies to a post card and send it in.

 

[Tarheel316]

Somehow, I don't see Mike Leach giving him a vote.

Definitely not!

 

[Starman]

I don't think Bob Jones has an athletic department.

Maybe Bob Evans does?

The guy in the letter sent $5.

One for each of the hookers Craig killed at SMU.

 

[dixiehack]

Allegedly.

Write back and tell him you left a check in the supply closet.

 

[Bob Cook]

Payment by hundred-dollar handshakes preferred.
