...even a separate skybox), Hillary, without the President, is all work but no warmth. Can't we just award her the Senate seat? She has followed the owner's manual on how to be a candidate. She kisses babies, wears funny hats, eats blintzes, visits diners (and doesn't forget to tip!) and has been to so many senior citizens' homes it's a wonder her hair isn't blue. She's not exaggerating when she boasts of visiting all 62 counties. She probably knows the precinct captains in Poughkeepsie. She got a pass when a long-ago aide charged...

When Danielle and a chum are practicing a mock-hypnotism act for a school skit, Peter--natch--insists that Danielle hypnotize him. Uh-oh. Not only does little brother go into a trance and come out of it with an alarming loss of memory, but also strange voices start emanating from...
...work together, and we believe in our hearts that our efforts are sound, that we can accomplish great things for the people of this region - and the entire country. So let me be clear, no matter how many miles I log between now and November, I will never forget the people I met this past week along the main stream of America, and let me assure you, Tipper and I, along with the Liebermans, certainly will be counting the days until we can return again...
