Ha Ha! As a Californian for 42 years I feel so out of place among all the leftist wackos here....fortunately I have a pod of conservatives around me as a buffer zone!

Sarah who?
John McCain's decision to yank little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin from the obscurity of the great northern tundra and dub her his running mate had Silicon Valley Democrats and even some Republicans scratching their heads Friday.
A brilliant end-run around opponent Barack Obama's mantra of change? A blatant attempt to throw a tantalizing bone to Hillary Clinton's more disgruntled female supporters?
"Who's she?" asked Democrat and former San Jose Mayor Susan Hammer. "I don't know what McCain's motives are, but I can't imagine any Hillary supporters supporting a conservative like Palin. She's pro-life and it seems she'd oppose virtually everything Hillary talked about during the campaign."

Those pricks never had a clue. Every single article/editorial has some leftist slant. If it wasn’t for the automobile ads, coupons and fluff, they would be out of business...
“Eh? What’s that you say? Speak a little louder!”
McCain is at war and he does not intend to lose it.
can I buy an “I”
as in IDIOT ???
Their coverage of Sarah Palin rather than the soaring excellence of Hussein's polemic at the temple proves that not only do they know who Sarah Palin is, they think she's more important than Hussein.
“McCain has chosen a time bomb.”
Can you explain this a little more?
We’ve been talking about her around here long before she ever ran governor or thought she was going to. She was even mentioned a possible Senate appointee for the seat Lisa Murkowksi now holds. That was several years ago. Anyone halfway politically astute knows who she is - if not before, then certainly after she rocked the establishment in Alaska and won that governor race - defeating an incumbent governor and decades long politcal veteran in the primary, and then another (former) governor in the general. “Who’s she?” Please.
Ten to one odds the reference was meant to scare and depress you, but all it was hinting at was the stupid investigation in AK regarding a firing of a state employee that allegedly had something to do with her sister’s divorce from another state employee. Got it? LOL
Anyway, Palin herself welcomed and asked for the investigation.
Aha... Both Stuunned and Stoned.
You can see that John's campaign is empirically oriented. It responds to what is on the ground and goes on to carry the battle to the Obamites.
Obama's campaign is reduced to being scattered, and is responsive only to the fog of war ( polls), not the conditions that matter ( the hearts and minds of Americans).
John has chosen the ground of battle, arrayed his forces accordingly, and has a chain of command.
Obama is herding cats, and all they can do is yowel and tweek the MSM. Loosing formula.
You gotta love it.
Funny, I feel just the opposite. This is the best and happiest I've felt about the country and political race in the last year.
My first reaction when I heard the Palin announcement was that John McCain and the Republicans had just won the election and that the country was safe and would survive at least for a while longer.
I would hope that conservatives and Republicans would be the least doctrinaire and most pragmatic, realistic and reason based of all the parties and political philosophies in order for the country and what it represents to survive in an illogical and hostile world.
McCain’s pick for VP was one of the most brilliant political moves I’ve ever seen. Not only did it bring people like me on board, it completely unhinged the left, as if they had any hinges remaining.
You’re correct, they are insane with anger. It’s why they are unable to see just how ridiculous their experience argument is. The leftist collective had its orders filtered down immediately to attack Palin’s lack of experience for being one step away from the White House.
Nah, not even Orville would 'pop' Reno!
Democrat women in the Bay Area/Silicon Valley are confused when they see a woman who is feminine, has long hair, and is married with children. I’m not surprised former Mayor Hammer didn’t know who Palin is.
Failing that, look for them to argue next that as a female she'll be too emotional.
Aw give her a break, she is fuzzy before she has her diapher changed.
Ha Ha! As a Californian for 42 years I feel so out of place among all the leftist wackos here....fortunately I have a pod of conservatives around me as a buffer zone!
I wish someone would write a book “What is the matter with Silicon Valley” From everything I have ever read about the tech industry the Republican Presidents have done more for it than the Liberals.
If you a highly paid software engineer or head of a new high tech start up why would you be supporting someone who wants to increase your taxes?
It’s one of those “duh” moments.
I'm hearing the same thing all around me...and I live in Cali!
