SPEAK OUT
I JUST read the comment in Speak Out regarding how Jean Carnahan had been involved in her husband's political career and consequently has the background to be successful in the U.S. Senate. I agree. When Missourians visit Washington, D.C., I am sure her experience as a tour guide at the Missouri governor's mansion will be a benefit as she gives tours at the U.S. ...
She has experience
I JUST read the comment in Speak Out regarding how Jean Carnahan had been involved in her husband's political career and consequently has the background to be successful in the U.S. Senate. I agree.

What a disgrace. I am very proud to say that this time I voted for Bush.

CALM DOWN, folks. All this hysteria about the ballot recount in Florida will be a moot point when the absentee military vote is in. Being a veteran myself, I have talked to a lot of vets and active-duty servicemen over the past eight years.
