Anybody catch this last night? He seems to be loosening up a bit. Had no idea he was a big smoker. I'm dying to see where all this stands in exactly one year...

he claims to have quit recently, using the 'ol "the ball and chain made me quit" routine.

Really? Seems like an bad idea--the smoking thing alone is going to imply weakness... to say he was dragged into quitting by his wife doesn't help. I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but it's exactly the kind of thing that will leave a bad taste in some people's mouths.

well, he was outed as smoking so he could either lie or irnore it. I prefer that he was honest. But i think the wife thing was a cute story and reminds people he's a family man.

would being a smoker really make you vote/not vote for somebody? You people are insane.

The smoking thing, at least the message, is "My wife said I could run for president if I quit smoking."

Just FYI

no, that would have no bearing on me as a voter. what does annoy me a little bit is why this is brought up so often. i'm sure there're other politicians who smoke, but it's not in every interview/article about them, like it seems to be with obama.

He made it an issue to make him seem like a normal guy with normal problems. Its pretty ingenius, really. Because its so off the radar of things peopel care about, but in a small way, most people can identify. It humanizes him, without resorting to blatant pandering.

Timis, I love the music you give me, but your political astuteness is somewhat questionable, bro.

I doubt the revelation that he only recently quit smoking will do him in, given the fact that he has OPENLY admitted MASSIVE WHITE BAG CONSUMPTION as a troubled teen hangin' ten in Hawaii.
