I am more than pleased to admit I was absolutely dead wrong about McCain

What a refreshing new political face.

Let the bashing from the left begin ... it doesn't matter.

"Delicious!"


And 'ol Rudy wasn't too bad either!


You were taking the talking heads too seriously.
This is why I asked if Scarborough was assimilated a couple days ago.
He was spouting the same Dem talking points about "McCains's
judgement" as the Obama operatives.
Even yesterday up until Palin got a chance to talk, he couldn't stop
asking every guest, repeatedly and with great relish, "How many
interviews did you have with the chief-of-staff you hired?"
Today he hasn't opened his trap once about McCain's "lack of
judgement" even while flapping his jaws and running over other people
as is his fashion.
In his ideological conservative heart, Joe despises McCain. Jealously
probably.
He's dropped quite a bit in my estimation, since he's proved heswi

caught up in his ego and the bubble of "good-old-buddy" pundits
surrounding him.
Once again Pat Buchanan is the only one who kept his head.
Classy.
He and Brokaw are the only sensible people on MSNBC.
Palin may get Hillary votes, and has certainly energized the
Republican base. But she has a way to go, and may be tripped up
on policy. Economics should carry the day for the Dems, but now
all the Reps need is a terrorist attack and they're in like Flynn.
The Dem voters made a big mistake in nominating an intellectual Yuppie
who didn't have the balls to put Hillary on the ticket. Hillary would
more easily neutralize Palin. Biden is just another Washington
insider.
American voters will often vote against their own economic interests
for other values.
Okay, enough bull**** from me. Hope I didn't offend anyone.

An anti-choice, anti-book, anti-intellectual female Spiro Agnew is not
going to get the Hillary votes, but I won't dispute that she was the
perfect person to rev up the GOP base, because she is as base as it is.

Amazing...the GOPs pick a completely irresponsible "hockey mom" for
their ticket, a woman who makes her motherhood an issue, yet isn't swift
enough to know that "abstinence education" leads to early pregnancies,
and is now forcing her teeny-bopper daughter into a shotgun marriage to
a boy who seems to have all the maturity and intellectuality of a
mooseburger.

Ms. Palin did a great job delivering the speech that was written for
her. Unless she sticks to the really small media markets where the
third-rate reporters learn the biz, she's going to be eaten alive on
policy issue questions at news conferences. I've not heard a hint from
this woman that she knows anything about anything.
