Even then I had a 500 mile radius within I found it more convenient, just as fast and cheaper for one person to drive instead of fly. No more. Last summer, I drove a 23 mpg car from OK to SF, CA, about 2000 miles, and flew home. Trip out took two looooong days, one night in motel and $256 gasoline. Flight home took three hours and $159 air fare. I used to fly quite a bit in the pre-security days.

They can follow the example of Ronald Reagan, which has been very successful in the past; or they can emulate the example of Arnold Schwarzenegger, which means getting in bed with the Kennedys. It's a tough choice. I just wish there was some indication from McCain's past that would allow us to predict which direction he would take the party... /sarc off The way I see it, the Republican party has two choices: they must choose between two California Governors.

Not too far from my house. Its ok but small parking lot, they are remodeling, so it is in flux. Still not too bad a breakfast plate. The problem is they can remodel all they want but it will not make ingress and egress any easier. No room for real growth. There is a Flying J at exit 46 I-15 and Cheyenne. Not too far from my house.

I'm afraid the only difference will be the signs above their doors. The DNC sign will say <strong>"Party of Hope"</strong> and the RNC sign will read <strong>"Abandon hope, all who enter here."</strong> If the GOP continues its march to the left by adopting liberal causes like Global Warming and Open Borders, it won’t be long before we are unable to tell the two parties apart.
