Hey, is anybody out there still talking about that big Barack Obama speech Thursday night? Thought not! John McCain’s daring choice of running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, has already paid off big-time, starving the Democratic Party of the attention and praise it had hoped to enjoy for a few days in the wake of Sen. Obama’s oration on “The Promise of America.” It also, in retrospect, casts a rather pathetic light on Hillary Clinton’s endless braying about how she may not have won the Democratic nomination, but at least she “cracked” the “glass ceiling” that was keeping women off of national presidential tickets.

She is scoring big-time in Ohio already.
HUH?! When did he give that? ...
Anybody seen the latest poll numbers? I’m not much of a poll watcher, but I would be interested in seeing the latest numbers right after Thurs night/Fri afternoon.
McCain picked a Royal Flush. Obama only drew an Ace.
McCain is betting people buy into the notion he has suddenly become a conservative after years of siding with socialist RATS on many issues simply because he chose a conservative only a little more than two months before the election. Unfortunately people are buying into his scam.
There are too few high quality women in national office. Most of the women who are and get face time, Pelosi, Clinton, Lee, Feinstein, etc. are hideous stereotypical examples of liberal women who only seem to support the need for a glass ceiling less one of them get into a position of real power as Pelosi has done and really screw things up, as Pelosi and the rest have done.
But now we have a real opportunity for a consciousness shift. Sarah Palin's job performance in Washington and on our national stage could very well remove doubts about electing a woman as president while providing a great example for our girls and boys alike to aspire to. What a surprise August 29th turned out to be!
Obama?
Are they talking about that Indonesian citizen who is really named Barry Soetoro, who is illegaly on the democrat presidential ticket?
Lawsuit questions Obama’s eligibility for office: citenship claim at issue:
“Seriously? You’re going to make her a high-school basketball star who played the championship game on a broken ankle and made the 11th-hour shot to win it? And then she becomes the ethics czar for oil regulation and fights dirty politicians in her own party single-handed? And this bit about the infamous ‘Bridge to Nowhere,’ when she actually sends $200-million in federal money for a notorious porkbarrel project back to Washington? And it says here she’s got one kid going to fight in Iraq and another newborn son with Down’s syndrome that she chose to have and raise? And she’s a snowmobile fanatic, licensed pilot and National Rifle Association member who’s so beautiful she will probably have to be played by Angelina Jolie? …Buddy, I don’t know whether to give you a million bucks or smack you in the mouth.”
It looks like they forgot the part where she wins the first round of Miss America, then comes in second for Miss Alaska, winning Miss Congeniality along the way.
Liberals hate her guts, therefore I support her enthusiastically.
...and the part where she’s married to a native american who is a 4x winner of a cross-yukon snowmobile race, and that she helped run her husband’s family fishing business, and that she also owned an RV dealership at one point (or so I heard somewhere).
There was never a “glass ceiling” holding women down, at least not from most voters’ viewpoint. Rather, it was just necessary for the passage of time for enough women to enter politics and for one to emerge with the character and stature worth supporting for national office.
That time, that woman, has arrived!
That is a memorable photo shop effort.
From the number of emotiona,l frenzied responses on FR today, I would say that he won the bet. Just how Palin is going to swing him away from his dedication as a socialist, I don’t understand. Do you?
