‘Tuesday Evening Quarterback’ Critiques Election

November 4th, 2008 · No Comments

Call me a “Tuesday Evening Quarterback,” but a review of tonight’s election results show the Republican Party team entered its most-important contest ever with little fan support, a poor game plan and the wrong signal caller lined up behind center.
