If that were true, McCain should be in the tank. He isn’t. Why? He’s running as a maverick not a pubbie. Moreover, Gov. Palin had to take on the pubbie in Alaska to be elected. She was. So, we have two mavericks running and one of them is not a Washington insider.

McCain’s suspension of his campaign to get the bail out bill done was a masterstroke. He can claim, legitimately, that his intervention got the bill off top dead center. He truncated the political maneuvering that was delaying passage of the bill. And, among other things, he’s perfectly set up for a debate with Onada whenever it happens.

Getting back to my original point, McCain is not only not in the tank he is leading in some polls. Whether or not you believe the polls, the fact is that some hard blue states are turning to soft blue. Obama is having to spend money where he didn’t expect to. Contrast that to McCain, who is not losing any reds that he was expected to take. He will not lose Florida despite dems best voter fraud efforts.

How To Edit YouTube videos.

There are many ways to capture YouTube videos. In my case I use YouTube Downloader to get the file. It is free and it works. Here is the link:

YouTube Downloader

After you download the file which typically is in Flash format you can use YouTube Downloader to convert to a format that can be edited with your video editing sofware. In my case I use Sony Vegas Pro which is, IMHO, simply the best editing software around. Better that Premier Pro. Better than Final Cut Pro.

Perhaps the teleprompter issues were also engineered, then?

RE: “For the Clinton’s, it’s pure revenge. Has nothing to do with McCain.”

Revenge, yes. But it doesn’t hurt that the Clintons do tolerate McCain and Hillary and John actually get along very well. It’s well known that McCain befriended her, showed her the ropes, when she first won her senate seat and I would suspect that to her that counts for something.

Of course, if McCain happens to win this thing now, the friendship won’t prevent Hill from ripping McCain apart in a 2012 campaign should he run for re-election. Anything goes in politics, eh? To McCain, it would just be politics as usual.

Clinton mentioned at least twice that McCain wanted more debates, he said McCain is not afraid of debates, after all McCain wanted them all over. Then Clinton said “Country First” I think that would make a nice McCain ad.

Fox had some great sound bites this morning showing both B Frank and Chuckie Scumer in 2005 stating that there were no problems with Fannie and Freddie and how they blocked legislation to bring them under closer scrutiny. They were great clips. These need to go into Mac commercials also.

“Don’t have a scorecard, but are the Dems most exposed on this the same ones who turned their back on Hillary?”

You have that right! They all were on Obama’s side against Hillary.

Feb 26, 2008 ... Chris Dodd endorsed Obama and then later said: UPDATE: Dodd used his endorsement to pitch a new message for the Obama camp — that it is time for Democrats to unite around a single candidate:

“It is now the hour to come together,” he told reporters in Cleveland. “I believe the hour has come now for us to make that choice - to stand up and say we’re going to get behind this candidacy.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/02/26/chris-dodd-endorses-obama_n_88474.html

Barney Frank originally endorsed Hillary and became part of her economic team BUT — Jun 5, 2008 ... Charles Rangel of New York, Barney Frank of Massachusetts, ... Hillary can do the right thing and support Obama
http://bourbonroom.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/06/05/reps-rangel-frank-and-dicks-leaned-on-hillary-to-drop/

the hated Reid and Pelosi support the beloved Obama from Dem Underground; from the New York Observer: Whatever her official posture, Nancy Pelosi is not neutral in the Democratic primary.

Typically, for instance, someone who is neutral wouldn’t say that victory by one of the candidates would be “harmful.” That’s essentially how Pelosi, the supposedly impartial House Speaker, has characterized the prospective nomination of Hillary Clinton.

“If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what happens in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic Party,” Pelosi said in an interview for ABC’s “This Week” that was taped late last week.

Shows that the people involved at the top all were either Obama supporters at the beginning or quickly became Obama supporters and worked to get Hillary out of the race.

Clinton is paying Obama back along with the people in the House involved. Dodd is on Clinton’s bad list to be kind.

RE: “Sadly, many Democrats (I’d say a majority) will never accept President Clinton’s statement.”

AGREE. The Dems loved Clinton when he was running for and in office; now now he is out, mainstream sheep-like Dems are not looking back.

They want that clown Obama in office no matter WHAT he says or how vacuous they (should) know he is. They don’t care that he is not even close to the types of Dems they’ve voted for over decades. Don’t care about all his shady and even criminal ties; don’t care that he is practically, if not, a Marxist. Nope, it doesn’t matter to run of the mill Dems what the truth is about Oblahma, they just want a so-called “Dem” in office.

I have this argument with a few of them every day and they shut down. I need to get new friends.

Clinton’s comments would definitely make a great McCain ad — hope McCain’s team hops right on that!!!

Let’s face it. If the GOP were truly responsible for this mess, the Dems would be screaming for hearings from the rooftops. That they’re not speaks volumes.

I guess Obama is too liberal even for the Clinton’s.

I think that is the real story and I also think that Bill Clinton actually does like Senator McCain. Bill Clinton always was to the right of his wife and way to the right of Obama. As a sidenote, Clinton did sign the legislation but was not happy with it -- his veto would have been overridden.

Blame Lott and others for not standing up. Don Nichols fought against it but got thrown under the bus by Lott. Lott wouldn't take him for budget negotiations with Clinton -- Lott went along and undermined Nichols as Majority Leader which gave us Frist. Speaker Hastert was a bad joke as Speaker. This never would have passed if Newt had remained Speaker IMHO!

I have a theory. I think that Bill and Hillary Clinton want Obama to lose the election. That way, they believe, McCain will be stuck cleaning up the mess and become as unpopular as Bush, paving the way for Hillary Clinton’s election as President in 2012.

Actually, you are merely stating a fact that should be obvious to anyone who has one eye open.

“Glass-Steagall” had nothing to do with sub prime mortgages.

Oh, really? Didn't Glass-Steagall (Sec. 20, I believe) keep insurance companies out of banking and vice versa? It would seem that AIG, once a respected insurance company that had some semblance of actuarially sound underwriting, reserving and investments, got itself into a bit of a mess with derivatives tied to sub-prime mortgages. One of many sources: AIG’s sub-prime losses spur federal probe.

Yes! Let’s hope!
It sounds interesting to me. But what do I know? ;-)

I’ve been absolutely amazed at the response of Hillary’s folks to Sarah Palin and McCain.

They LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, and are very defensive of them.
