I am a republican, and have voted republican since Thomas Dewey. Still, although I wantt to see him replaced, I think Obama is much better than
the trash about him. Birth certificate and so on, is just politics!
However, my favorite for the next administrration is Romney. I would like to see Gingrich as VP, but that probably won't happen.

hi bob! never heard of Thomas Dewey! when was that?
Anyway, I need your advice on something! you know my daughters are beginning English this year and there is something I don't understand about one of their lessons : why is it that when you have a question like "what is this?" you can't answer "THIS IS a book" but you have to say "IT'S a book"? I can't figure out why it is so!!!! I can't explain to them since I myself don't understand!
Do you have a clue? (I don't like it when I don't understand something!!!)
Tohmas Dewey was l a very famous politician during and after WW 11.
He ran for president agasinst FDR, and lost
Then he ran against Truman in 1946.
He was considered a "lead pipe cinch". On election day, the
chigao tribune brought out a paper with the headline "Truman wins", but when the counting was over, Truman won!!
It was called the worst newspaper error in history
Incidently this is a book and it.s a book are both OK

thank you, I have also asked a friend who is an english teacher and she told me that probably my daughter's teacher said it was wrong because in her lesson she must have told the pupils that they had to answer "it's"!she can't see any other reason!
ah, teachers!!!!
I think you meant the paper read "Dewey wins" (you wrote Truman) and the Truman won! Oh my god, it's huge! what a shame for the Tribune!
I'm as bad as the Trib. Of course it was Dewey in headline!!!
a more precise answer: if your daughter holds the book,itis still "her book" znd you say that book, if she hands it to you, you cansay this book then. my gramar is better than my typing!
Good News: Obama believes the time is right for the country to have a Mormon President.
Bad News: Obama will be baptized Mormon this Saturday.
