As someone said, Obama needs to change his slogan from "Change you can believe in" to "Change before it's too late."

Adverts/Sushi,

Several years ago my brother joined a local wilderness search and rescue group which required being vetted by the county sheriff's office. Among the questions, "Have you ever told a racist joke?" If everyone answered honesty, it's likely the pool of eligible volunteers would dry up.

This really isn't…

Taka,

I don't take all this "Obama stumbled by not picking Hillary" stuff seriously. Had he picked her, we would see a different set of talking points on why such a choice dooms Obama. Bill Kristol, resident NYT's Op-Ed page neocon, concedes Obama's choice complicates things for McCain. Pawlenty is…

Why has economic insecurity replaced terrorism as the number one concern of Americans?

I think it has something to do with the fact that home equity built up during the long housing boom became the primary resource for ordinary Americans to finance life's major purchases, i.e. a better home, college…

Were Obama to win, investors would run scared and invest overseas, a depression would follow.

In fact our economy's solvency is reliant on foreigners investing in the USA. Once their investment fell below the outflow of greenbacks to pay for imports (both cheap consumer goods and oil) the dollar started…

China is a boom and bust economy, don`t woory about them , they are still 3rd world, they are not a threat.

Ah, but it's a matter of perception. Didn't someone associated with the Bush campaign in '04 say, "We create our own reality."

People have grown uneasy with the…

Betzee- That`s right insult a war hero by comparing him to Japanese soldiers, who you know have a bad name worldwide.

Stealthbomber, I will refer to another columnist from the NYT's (I know I'm overquota on quoting from the liberal media):

*While McCain’s experience was heroic, did it create a…

In fact,

[M]ost Americans have turned their backs on the Iraq war, no matter how much McCain keeps bellowing about “victory.” The Bush White House is now poised to alight with the Iraqi government on a withdrawal timetable far closer to Obama’s 16 months than McCain’s vague promise of a…

I think they will go with Tim Pawlenty as the VP nod. I don't know if that is such a good idea considering that Pawlenty was forced to break a campaign spending vow late in his campaign against Minnesota's AG Mike Hatch.

Taka,

I went to college in Minnesota…

Carly Fiorina was supposed to bring Hillary's female supporters into the McCain camp. She has also been proposed as a running mate for the aging Senator which elicited the following letter to the editor of the San Jose Mercury News:

*The Mercury News reports that Carly Fiorina may be…
