I believe that the ruling class politicians see Palin as a real threat to their status quo, and her postponement of announcing her candidacy as a hindrance to their stopping her. One way to force her hand earlier than she intends is to move up the primaries. Anybody else see a pattern here?

Honestly folks, these threads are getting absolutely rediculous. I'm damn near ready to vote for Obama again cause I'm sick of the Palinites, Chrisies, and now even as insane as it may sound, Huckabites .... What a circus, I'm so glad it's Friday, I wish Palin and Chris Christie would shut up, announce they aren't running, cause they aren't, and let us get on with defeating Obama. I can't believe Jim Rob hasn't banned me today, I'm going bonkers !!!

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is going to use this teeny, tiny space to talk about a huge, but under-acknowledged local problem: moose alcoholism. As you can see from the disturbing photo above, this is a growing issue in our community, with moose practically dropping everything to chase down Coors trucks and other such madness. We can no longer look the other way. But our concern is not only for the well being of our local fauna — we can't have our moose developing hangovers or liver disease — but also for...
