The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

When we were in Tahoe over the weekend we saw a giant pickup with a McCain sticker idling at a light next to a Prius with an Obama sticker.

Seemed to encapsulate all of the stereotypes.

Yes, Bush was the managing partner in the Texas Rangers ownership group for five years. No, he didn't suck. As to whether he was good, that probably depends on how you define good? He turned a $1MM investment into $10MM when he sold. And his tenure includes the original agreement that lead to the Ballpark in Arlington. But the team was around .500 through his era.

Was that asked because of my "coach the Green Bay packers" comment?
