Running for office is very stressful. He'll really need to keep his head together if he wins.

I'll be the first to admit it's a flimsy measurment but I'm not about to take advice from a former speech writer for George W. Bush, who's also a former Newscorp executive.

Yeah I understand that point completely. What he says is reasonable though. I thought I'd at least throw it out there. It wouldn't surprise if that, besides the author's bias, he's right at least to some degree.

Yeah, but he's full of shit if he thinks Obama is getting treated better than Bush. Bush had two solid years of complete immunity during his first term, thanks to 9/11. I figure if Obama gets a pass in hist first year, it's okay.

Krist Novoselic seems to have adjusted nicely from a famous rock n roll musician to become a leader in his community, and a voice of hope and new ideas. He's always appealed to me, maybe it was his sense of humor, but it's great to find out his political interest wasn't just a hipster/punk rock thing, it's pretty clear by his past, and direction now he takes politics seriously and is actually doing something productive, instead of sitting on his hands like an apathetic individual making some noise about how they are content being discontent.
