...used to be that you would support a candidate because you agreed with something or other that he thought. But that seems a bit extreme for this gambling brand of '80s politics. My friends the politicos chose candidates because they could relate to them as they could to, say, football teams. They were winners or they were underdogs or they were perrenial favorites being challenged by upstart newcomers. Politics wasn't discussed quite as much as "coolness" or "upsets...
Blanchard's personality--or lack thereof--has a lot to do with the question marks. He too came from oblivion this summer.

The company claims that the move is logical because women are already loyal to the brand since they buy at least 70% of the shorts worn by their husbands or sons. Like men's briefs, Jockey For Her panties will be made of no-shrink cotton. None of that lacy, silky stuff. Jockey President Howard Cooley says the product will be "very feminine, even if it's not highly sensual...
