Wow.
NY Times. CBS News.

"Palin was chosen to lure female voters. You know it and I know it. Show a little intergrity and just admit it."
Sorry. I just don't see it that way. If she were from Delaware and had been a fixture in the Senate for, oh, 30 plus years I might concede we are looking at a token.
Alaska has oil and gas. She has executive experience in this field and she has 80 percent support in Alaska. She took on the Old Boys in her own party. Name one Democrat about whom you could say that. Energy is a matter of national security. Economically, oil now approaches being something like a weapon of mass destruction. McCain gets it. Obama doesn't. It doesn't matter how many states he goes to, he'll remain tone deaf on that one.
Love her or hate her Sarah Palin evokes something very visceral in Americans.And not just women. That type of politician isn't going to fade away. There are already conservatives demanding she be made head of the RNC if not headed to the WH in 09.
I'm not crazy about McCain but picking her made me believe there was some substance to the 'maverick' tag the mainstream media gave him all these years.
It kills me how 'liberals' treat this amazing woman and 'old man' McCain. They really have no shame. All the righteous talk and legislation and the breast-beating about eliminating discrimination in the office or work place on the basis of gender or age or the sort of physical handicaps McCain's POW experience left him with counts for absolutely zero when it comes to political office.
'Liberals' need to face up to the fact that they have been seen through. Palin is hated because she is showing the entire nation how cheap and cynical identity politics is.
Ferchrissakes by the time the Dem primary was over both Geraldine Ferraro and Bill Clinton had been labeled "racists"! We have gone from that to "Sarah Palin is not a woman."
The media thought they had basically sent out the warning that anyone who dare oppose Obama or look too closely into his very shady past would be branded 'racist'.
Palin entered the picture and the dynamic changed.
The irony is as disgusting as it is tragicomic. The mainstream media, Hollywood, the political hacks on the Left and a frighteningly large swath of young and old in a party that insists it is 'tolerant' and 'inclusive' are indulging in the exact sort of mindless hatred and bigotry they had predetermined conservatives would poison this election with.
Of course they needed to believe in a conservative 'hatred' of their candidate order to bully and intimidate their way to victory - as they had done with Ferraro and Bill Clinton.
Democrats were clearly prepared to accuse Republicans of 'discrimination' even if it never came to materialize. Even with Obama's lead you still see pieces opining that if he loses it'll be because of racism.
But it is Palin and the reactions she evokes that is showing the country Dems are the ones who are anything but tolerant and inclusive.

"There's nothing odd whatsoever about Powell chosing to endorse a candidate who espouses Powell's own views regarding moderation."
Nobody knows what Obama really espouses since his positions keep changing.If he is lucky Powell's endorsement gives Obama the appearance of a quick study who impresses the old former sec. of state.
Powell donated to McCain's campaign and his son supports McCain.
Not that big of a deal.

"Or better yet, maybe McCain should have tapped Rice for his running mate, rather than the shameless pandering that Palin represents."
McCain first met with Palin back in February.
Facts like this don't fit the simplistic picture you need to believe in, but that doesn't make them any less true.

McCain should have released this, and should have done it weeks ago.
Devastating.

Biden is starting to worry me. Does anybody know what he was talking about while stumping in Seattle yesterday?
"Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. "And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

The money - the alms that Obama has received only confirm the common observation that for much of the secular Left in modern America politics is religion.

Obama has received tens of millions in donations from overseas. Even major media outlets are beginning to take notice. But yeah, we need to look at one letter McCain's staff sent out by mistake. Is it any wonder blogs are killing the old media...

"Will this impact my Halliburton shares? What about that other nice little earner, the war in Iraq, if you cannot profit on death and misery, what other investment opportunities are there?"
That horse is so long dead it doesn't even stink, and yet the Left just can't stop flogging away.
Do you honestly believe a cabal of "Neo Cons" stole Iraq's oil?
Do you drive?
Do you read the papers or follow the news?

"obama is happy to accept Gen. Powell's endorsement, despite the fact that Gen. Powell was for the war in Iraq. Interesting."
And Powell is apparently happy to endorse an admitted drug abuser, onetime socialist party member and slumlord-enabler who pals around with unrepentant failed domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers and his ghoulish wife Bernardine Dhorn.
Sadly,I think it is about race; and Powell probably has a guilty conscience about not finishing the job in Gulf War 1.
To his credit though at least Powell's son supports McCain.

"Obama's popularity does not rest on his tax plan. The majority of his votes did not come from his tax plan. They came from his stand on the mismanagement of our foreign policy..."
His own pick for Veep appears to have reservations about what his election to Commander-in-Chief will mean:
"October 20, 2008 Categories: Joe Biden Biden: Obama will be tested
"Joe Biden shifted things briefly onto what's thought to be McCain's turf at a Seattle fundraiser yesterday:
"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.The world is looking.

"...the US electorate may actually be waking up from the coma which led them to elect Curious George not once but twice! "
Mods - will we be able to liken Obama to a simian when he is president?

"I take it that you would present that issue with the same high level of mendacity as you present all others."
Mendacity?
Dem majority ramming through an end to the secret ballot in the workplace or the establishment of a national identity card like the one you groundlessly fear.
Which will come first?

sezwho:
"I don't think people have a hate on for Palin."
How about a second example, in which physical size makes no difference. Jon Stewart on a university campus and hurling the f-word at Gov. Palin.
Again, imagine the hysteria and the outrage if a TV celebrity of anywhere near Stewart's status and known to be conservative did this to Obama.
"She said that small towns, that's the part of the country she really likes going to because that's the pro-America part of the country. You know, I just want to say to her, just very quickly: [expletive] you," Stewart said to raucous applause.

" it takes 600 million dollars to hire the man who can turn our nation's direction into one of less greed and division and more towards solving problems then I think it is ultimately well spent."
And with less than three weeks at least half the nation is still asking who he really is. There are entire years of his life basically unaccounted for.
Wise investment?

For the purposes of this forum and this thread socialism could be defined as a form of governance which seeks to 'spread the wealth around.'
I can't remember who said that - if it was Barack Obama, Karl Marx, or Groucho Marx.
