    Nov.2nd is the presidential election night as well, so how will you be watching the game and the election? The best thing to do is just use the jump or recall botton on the remote :D . It will be an interesting night for sure...

    I hope you're right about Bush winning. I can't see Kerry being our president. The man seriously needs to ask for a refund on the plastic surgery to his face as it didnt work...he's still ugly.

    Here is my analysis:

    George W. Bush is a scorer, pure and simple; the point guard can score from everywhere on the court. Starting from the outside, Bush is a deadeye 3 point shooter. His range easily includes NBA 3 point territory (and beyond). But Bush is not just a 3 point specialist, he also has the most consistent midrange jumper in college basketball. His shot is a thing of beauty, perfect form, and he can get it off in less than a second. Bush reminds many scout of Stephon Marbury. His strength and speed is his biggest advantage. However, Bush is said to be more of a combo guard. His is playmaking ability is questionable. Overall, very good prospect. Now Francis is gone, Bush might be the perfect replacement, if (and a big IF) he can buy into JVG's system and defer to Yao most of the times.

    John Kerry is an extremely fundamental and versatile small foward, he can hurt you in many different ways. Hes very tough to guard and he demands a lot of attention on the defensive end. Kerry has great range from the perimeter thanks to his picture perfect shooting form, his shooting range extends all the way out to the college three point line, and unlike a lot of bigmen that are blessed with good shooting range, he does not abuse it. He's also fearless on the court (he won three purple hearts), embraces clutch situations. A knock on Kerry, however, is that he lacks defense. If he's drafted by the Rockets, I wish JVG can whip him into a defensive stopper. He has the athleticism to do it. With JJ aging and Boki's lack of progression, John Kerry might be the perfect fit on our team.

    There you go, with one would the Rockets draft?

    leave the kid alone. When he's old enough to vote, I'm sure he'll use his vote on issues that count.

    30 points for MING, and George W. Bush gets stood on his pointy little head in the final electoral vote tally.
