Lampley is a sportscaster, no? I think he is also a scratch golfer. Those are quite the credentials. Personally i like Jim Nances take on things and Bob Costas is a better writer.

Not because they elected someone I don't like. Because they elected the one annointed candidate who ran against a token opposition. There is no opposing party (except Hamas, who didn't run). Only Fatah controls the newspaper and the TV. Only Fatah got to run a campaign. The whole election was fixed from day one.
