The fact that several weeks of furious muckraking have turned up nothing of substance bespeaks a healthy character.<BR/>The whole "got no experience" meme takes on an air of sad comedy in the light of the financial meltdown: WTF were the elites doing, these frivolous decades?<BR/>Our leadership appears to be some of my own whacky cousins, only with a bigger credit card.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-6581554053370036042008-09-21T12:28:00.000-04:002008-09-21T12:28:00.000-04:00The Gibson interview is part of it, but I think it...The Gibson interview is part of it, but I think it's really just Palin in general. She was good for a quick pump-up in the polls, but over anything like the long-term, she's a huge drain on McCain's campaign.Thomas L.

I'm hoping that Obama gets cocky and it actually helps JMac. McCain seems to get all thumbsy and clumsy when he's ahead - didn't know what to do with himself when Palin wowed crowds. However, he seems to get energized being behind, so I am hopeful that this positions McCain well for the debate with Obamalinsky. Also, most Americans won't know socialism till it hits them in the face...heck, they are already happy as pigs in slop with a nanny state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-34568919574238141432008-09-20T15:58:00.000-04:002008-09-20T15:58:00.000-04:00Given that I believe close to nothing about the po...Given that I believe close to nothing about the polls beyond their existence,<BR/>I'd say that the narrative is to rebuild the Obama campaign confidence so that the appearance of competition is in place prior to the debates.<BR/>It remains to be seen if Cousin John can sell his economic ideas better in the debate.<BR/>Then again, it may not matter. Socialism is the opiate of the bureaucracy, and it's been packaged as a religion for sale to the proletariat.<BR/>We may be dead men typing.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.com
