Even Paris Hilton's famed YouTube video hurt Obama in the end much more than it did McCain, because Hilton, like McCain, spoke coherent, honest and detailed sense on energy issues. She acknowledged the nation's need to maintain and expand offshore oil drilling and other conventional energy resources.

The Dems are in panic mode because Paris Hilton makes more sense than their candidate..............

Paris must have taken a fall. Does it look to you as though Paris has a bruised chin?

"Yes, it must move more to the Left..."

If they go left of Obama, they're going to fall off the edge of the earth....or is that the idea?

The MSM did its utmost to keep the lid on the truth about John Kerry’s many lies and distortions, but in the final outcome, the American public didn’t buy his “patriotism” or self-promoted “war hero” image. The facts slipped out on radio and over the web. The same thing is happening this year. The 24/7 efforts of MSNBC and the rest of Obamas media shills are being blown up by Rush, Savage and a host of internet sites. Tough on the straight arrow media to have lost that precious monopoly they enjoyed for so long. They still lie with impunity but now they get caught! Just ain’t fair, is it.

It was the Paris video that drew attention to the "wrinkled, white-haired dude."

People started to pay attention to McCain and they realized, as they did with Reagan, that the guy was personable and reasonable.

“I have a real problem with the statement above (that those reluctant to vote for a black would probably not vote for a liberal anyway). There are no facts that back up his conclusion. Most conservatives I know don’t give a rip about race. They care about competence.”


False reasoning: That racists tend to be anti-liberal does not mean that all anti-liberals tend to be racists.

No matter how the media play it, they won’t be able to prop up their boy.

>>Most of all, Obama and his strategists never anticipated that McCain, with fewer financial resources and a far smaller, more informal staff, would prove energetic, aggressive and effective in his daily counterpunches at the Democratic candidate.

That pretty much describes how it went in the Republican primary as well. Who really expected Senator mcCain to be the nominee in the first place?

I don't think so, I am really bad at counting chickens. We need to push hard and never lose sight of the evil Obama. Amen.

IR, how do you like the convention so far? Do you see trouble for them yet? Will BHO fill the arena tomorrow?

Haven’t watched it, and not at all interested in watching. :-) I’m so far quite pleased at the public grousing and disharmony, especially from the Clinton heavy hitters. But I’m disappointed (although not surprised) that Hillary came through for The One last night. I expect Bill will do the same tonight.

If the weather’s good, I think the Obamessiah will have a huge crowd tomorrow.

I'm not watching it either, I get all my news from Fox, Rush, FR and Sean Hannity.

They certainly are not getting a bump in the polls.

My sources disagree with your analysis of Hillary's speech. Sounds like her support was lukewarm at best. Bill is just going to say how great he and Hillary are.
