Man, she's good:
"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."

Ouch:
"This is a man [Obama] who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word "victory", except when he's talking about his own campaign."

Meaningless stat. Show us a Republican senator who hasn't voted with his party "95 percent of the time" while Congress has been controlled by these deadbeats Pelosi and Reid .
The same Senate that voted unanimously to make Gen Petraeus the commander of all forces in Iraq included 25 defeatist Democrat senators who later voted against an amendment condemning the Soros-funded MoveOn.org smear of Petraeus published in the NY Times.

McCain is now 72. He is the same age as Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi.
Average life expectancy for US males is now over 78.
But I think we can safely say John McCain was never your average American male.
If you want to factor in genetics it's Barack (redacted) Obama who is looking at a shorter than average life span, and one with a marked predisposition to addiction.

The experience charge ?
I think the Republicans are once again sandbagging the gullible Dems on this one.
After weeks of liberal media indulging in the usual hysteria, faux indignation and breast-beating (and drowning out whatever positive message the Dems might have and need to get out) they'll release the relevant info on Gov Palin, pretending to do so reluctantly.
And ordinary folks will be able to review the paper trail of Palin's two years as governor and the ten years or so she spent in local government. Her experiance in the latter is not very well understood or appreciated by the media and pundits. But it boils down to countless executive decisions, hard fought and reviewed. Getting onto a local seat is one thing, remaining there quite another.
Palin can produce a paper trail.
Obama and the Chicago Machine that sent him are despeate to hide his.
Try googling Annenberg Challenge. It's Obama's only real executive experience.
And it proves that like all products he can't deliver change.
He can only deliver on the backrooom promises he made to people and groups who got him where his abilities and character couldn't.

I always like that one.
Gore tried to have the overseas military vote disqualified in 2000. Kerry says you're in Iraq because you are stupid. Obama makes lofty and completely absurd promises to disarm America, and yet you get these guys here claiming they are military and ensuring us Obama inspires trust in the ranks of our armed services.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi ?

No, they're not.
This Dem - controlled Congress is the least accomplished in US history because they are deliberately putting off dealing with any major issue until the election, which they think will win them the presidency and senate majority. Historically they have fairly good reason to think it is their turn. But what they are doing is reckless and in very bad faith. Gas hits $4/gallon and Speaker Pelosi refuses to even allow legislation on drilling to be tabled. They want to abolish the secret ballot in unionized workplaces and though they basically control the mainstream media, academia and the three major networks, they intend to impose a new "Fairness Doctrine" applicable to each but transparently meant to muzzle talk radio. They can't compete in the marketplace of ideas so like the totalitarians they are and so revere they seek to silence the opposition rather than let the democratic process be left to the people.

Does it matter?
NBC and CBS refused to even air Thompson's speech.
Just adds credence to Bill Mahrer's observation that Chris Mathews and Keef Olbermann looked like they were ready to have sex with Obama.

Nat'l Review's Jim Geraghty has summed it up best:
"In 72 hours, the media has subjected Bristol Palin to more scrutiny than they've given to Barack Obama in two years."

Dr James Dobson went on Dennis Praeger's nationally syndicated show a few days ago to inform listeners that he has changed his mind and decided he will support McCain after all.
I don't know much about the man - except that liberals hate him, they hate his mission and they hate the demographic he speaks for.
How many votes are we talking about?

46 percent of our work force is made up of women. Many of them with children.
It's been an interesting week on conservative radio.
Guys like Hugh Hewitt repeating how he and a lot of middle aged males and political junkies in particular are overwhelmed at the national reaction to Palin. So many women so pleased. It's not just conservatives.
And with the escalation in attacks that have followed revelations that Gov Palin's child has special needs, that her relationship with her in-laws was less than perfectly cordial, and that her teen daughter is pregnant have come a different kind of reply from women all across the country to the Dems, to the liberal media and to the little gremlins blogging at sites like DailyKos:
"The more they attack her the more I feel they are attacking me."

And they are both dead.
I was merely pointing out that 'Bizarro-world' to describe conservative family values is a bit rich when you consider all the players in this election.
Actually, I was kinda hoping to lure an old chum back. But I think he has moved on to bigger and better things...

There have been five presidents elected to two terms since WW2.
Dick Morris is the reason Bill Clinton is the sole Democrat on that list.
You might be interested in what he has to say about Palin.
