That is almost a slur
did he really say that? tell me he did! i was impressed with his speech in Tampa today... talked about earmarks... pulled out a pen and said he would veto bills loaded with pork...
I agree completely. But I do think that Palin offers the stronger appeal of that duo.
You missed putting Clinton in that picture.
he even mentioned barbra streisand!
then he said something like “but I’d rather be here with you Ohio”
Every time Obama tries to raise money, it will be used against him because he’ll look like an elitist that’s out of touch
Incomes come in small, medium or large. Whats your point?
“Brains and beauty are a great combo!”
Seems to be a lot of this lately.
If Bush had been ahead 5 points, the MSM would not have had any motivation to call the race early. The vote was close. Perhaps the Republican party has learned to concentrate resources in states that are close and forget about long shots like CA and NY.
They oughta have voter registration booths set up at every one of these events.
Why was it so close in 2000?
Joe Lieberman.
Enough said.
CA, NY, WA, OR...are Dim waste-lands.
MOLON LABE
“Palin is a threefer. Etc...”
Good post.
No, he let the DNC/media — and I apologize for the redundancy — spring that DUI thing on him at the last minute. Dumb, dumb, dumb...and but for 527 votes in Florida, it would have been a fatal mistake.
Do you have a ping list for your articles?
Biden gets the high school crowd like he did in Macomb County yesterday.

What else is interesting is as reported in the local newspaper for the Macomb County it is found that:
“...Also in attendance were South Lake High School students, most of whom are not old enough to vote in November. But that technicality didn’t seem to dampen their enthusiasm.”
http://www.macombdaily.com/stories/091608/loc_local03.shtml
The newspaper had a figure of 1200 in attendance and if you go to South Lake high school you will find student enrollment for the high school is at 881 students.

Betcha you won’t find that out in the MSM.
What it comes down to is Palin is kicking Biden’s butt on the trail.
Ms. Zito, she is the real deal when it comes to reform. Do you have an e-mail address to send info?
My understanding is that the professionals have a chart of sorts -- something like the one that tells football coaches when to go for the two point conversion -- about what states to comapaign in. It is all tied to the candidate's lead in the national polls, as well as recent actual election history.
NJ really isn't in play for McCain unless he is leading by about 9 points nationally. In reality, he is probably leading by about 4-5 points among likely voters -- enough to put NJ in play (as evidenced by recent polling there) but not yet enough to justify McCain pouring any significant resources into that state. And if he is leading nationally by a large enough margin to make NJ as close as two or three points, he is already leading in enough states to get him the 270 EV he needs anyway.
So, McCain is best off consolidating his gains in places like Ohio and taking the fight to Obama in places that are purple or barely blue (such as Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and especially Michigan). In a three point election like 2004, these states are barely blue. But in a five or six point election, these states will turn red (albeit barely) and NJ will turn very light blue or even purple.
