I sent this article to Bill Adair of the St. Pete Times, who runs the Political Fact Checking column, which may run nation-wide. I asked him to review the column and report his findings in his column. I told him I’ll be watching to see how “neutral” his column is. If he prints it, I’ll post it on FR.

"if mccain picked a female vp,

he’d get the hillary dissidents."

I don't think so. All women except rabid, barking, moonbats are invisible to those sour old hags.

I disagree. Pandering to the left never gets the GOP votes.

That’s it. He needs to drill into the electorate’s heads that the Democrats have consistently blocked any new oil drilling for decades, keeping us utterly dependent on Arab oil in the process.

I completely agree. That is my personal message while I am out working the mean streets of Santa Barbara.

McCain’s campaign centers around his resume, which is why he is going to get trounced. He did the same thing in the GOP primaries and became the presumptive nominee with 31% of the vote. That dog won’t hunt in the general election.

McCain has been part of the problem. He is still against drilling in ANWR and his “epiphany” on drilling offshore was to leave it up to the states. Not exactly a forceful and clear way to address the issue. McCain is trying to have it both ways. Alaskans want to drill in ANWAR, but it is on federally controlled land.

Most average people won’t even be paying attention until after Labor Day. Until then, this is just one more breathless “analytical prediction” from Morris and McGunn.

Dick toesucker Morris is wrong. Every good operative from the right or left knows there is nothing you can do before the conventions to effect the race one way or the other. The voters you need in the middle don’t even look up til Sept. Obama is wasting his money and pissing off the only people paying attention to his ads right now .. his base.

That is exactly right. But we do need to be busy getting our ducks in a row.

Right now I am working on framing the arguments that will need to be made come September and working on local organization and letter writing.
