		<description>"You think those two undergraduate courses are going to make a frickin difference."

Sure.  It's the difference between being able to follow through and being a quitter.  

It's so frickin easy (compared to the rest of life) to bust out two courses to remove a huge liability in the working world (lack of a degree) that if you don't take the time and effort to do it you are either stupid or lazy.  If I were hiring her for a job, it would make me think she'd be the kind of person who would hand in her assignment 3/4 done and say "oh, uh I did most of it, but I couldn't figure that last part out, so I guess uh, you'll have to do it."

Note, my thoughts do not apply to people who never had the opportunity to get into college, or who had to drop out because of finances or health, etc. or are slowly course by course finishing their degree.  This chick sounds like none of those.  Of course, I know nothing about this race, so I should probably shut up now.</description>

		<description>Dude, I follow politics very closely, and I never even learned the name of Schumers Republican oponent.  His job is to teach other senators to raise money, be media-whores, and win elections like him, and he's damn good at it.

I suppose the only thing about this race that people really care about is that it's a Civil Rights District that was created intentionally to have black representatives, but there are 3 black candidates and 1 white, so it may end up with a white representative (Yassky) anyway.</description>

		<description>Schumer's 'the man?' If by 'the man' you mean The Man (as in just another well-off white guy trying to get his own), you're right about that. But I have another name for Schumer ... Lil Whiny-Ass Media Hungry Bitch. Doesn't quite roll of the tongue, but it's more accurate (and it can be shortened to LWAMHB). Get between Schumer and a tv camera, he's gonna do a lot more than punch you.

Anyhoo, I don't know anything about this particular race, but c'mon people. You think those two undergraduate courses are going to make a frickin difference. It's not like she's a surgeon and skipped out on "How to close a wound" or a lawyers and ditched "How to win a case." She's a frickin politician and I think it's been well established by both parties that the only requirements there is that you be able to stand in front of a crowd without soiling yourself (Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd excepted).</description>

		<description>Clarke has been on the City Council for a while. Even if &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; was a nepotism position, she has some legislative experience. That said, I still don't know who I am going to vote for.</description>

		<description>Who do you think is the best of the 4?  I don't really like Clarke and Owens because of the whole nepotism thing as their only qualification.</description>
