Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Dear Fellow Voters
Dear Americans Obama talked about the need for holding those responsible for the current financial crisis accountable. But he didn’t include himself, his leftist friends who turned the mortgage industry into another failed welfare program, his campaign advisors who stole tens of millions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac before jumping ship to join ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

Re: Clinton's praise for McCain
I'm still willing to give Bill the benefit of the doubt. After all, attacking Obama/damning him with faint praise worked AGAINST Hillary. If the press is going to continue to follow him around with microphones in hand (which, let's face it, is usually worth several column inches to any given reporter), attacking McCain may backfire on the Dems ...

Focus on Supporting Obama
I'm wondering... when will Obama supporters be as vocal about how Obama's policies will improve our country rather than being lost in the distraction that is Sarah Palin? We actually have an opportunity for real change in this election. More people feel enfranchised because of Obama's nomination. We have a chance to united our country and take ...

Not a serious candidate
Nice article, and I agree entirely. But if Palin is not a serious candidate, what does that say about Obama? Sure, McCain may be old (notwithstanding that his mother is in her 90s and still going strong), which means that Palin could be far closer to having to step into the president's shoes than any VP in a long time. But there is no question ...

Democrats & Media make up your Mind!
Just a few days ago, you were decrying Sarah Palin as being “inexperienced”; “A Hockey Mom”; a wife and mother obviously too stupid to do the job; the mother of an engaged daughter too inept for the position of VP. Now after seeing Sarah Palin’s obvious accomplishments, experience and “lipstick Bull-Dog” gusto; in the light of day; you’re worried ...

Re: Never Interrupt Your Opponent While He's Making A Mistake
VP is not an advisor, VP is one heartbeat away from the Presidency. One 72-year-old heartbeat. In the end, it doesn't matter. The Republicans want us to focus on the admirable people they have running for office instead of what we should be focusing on: the Republicans have run the country into the ground for the past 8 years with failed ...

Wow- just a little slanted? Palin terrific reform alternati
This must be the well-balanced part; half arguing why Obama, and the other half why not McCain. So- McCain claiming that Palin is qualified to sit in reserve now means that Obama is also qualified? Why doesn't it work that while, yes- Obama selected a more experienced running mate, that was because he needed to; McCain was able to fill other ...

Never Interrupt Your Opponent While He's Making A Mistake
John McCain's biggest advantage over Barack Obama, the place where his story was better, was his experience. Until today. To squander this issue on the hopes of picking up disaffected women is a sign of desperation. Taking the goalie out of the net gives you another player on offense, but there's a reason teams don't do it. Unless they're way ...
