Well there it is, first from Bush and now from Palin:

Where does this insanity end?

"John McCain will fight for you!"
"John McCain: "Fight with me!"
He must have been under the influence...

A new low for McCain and his darling: they're accusing Obama of sponsoring explicit sex education for five year olds. What Obama did sponsor was actions designed to alert five year old kids to inappropriate touching of private parts by strangers in order to protect them:

It figures Fox news is going to carry it and it's no wonder why people are flocking to the Palin ticket...

More independent verification of speculation being the primary factor for the rise (and fall) of the cost of a barrel of oil.

Of course, the only factor blamed by our president has been "supply and demand" with a Republican remedy of "drill, baby, drill!"...

I think this story will get bigger. Looks like Palin is trying to squash the investigation until after election time.

Yeah, she did what she did "to take the department in a new direction". Yeah, right. I read another article yesterday about a judge in Alaska warning her about what she was doing but this self-professed hockey mom didn't give a moose's butt. What is she really? She's a trans fat sucking, bible thumping, gasoline guzzling, sulfur diode emitting Bush voter from the bowels of the earth. She worships God, Bush and her uterus and she's probably got some weird name for it, too. She doesn't just advocate shooting moose, she goes out and does it!
Here's what she is:

Can you imagine what would happen if this was a Democrat on the ticket? We would have another McGovern/ Eggleston fiasco on our hands...

America's darling was asked in her interview with Charles Gibson what her opinion of the Bush doctrine is and she had no clue of what it is. Gibson had to explain to her. The Bush doctrine of pre-emptive warfare is one of the keystones of neo-con policy in the world and Palin didn't have a caribou's carcass of any of it.
What does she know? Drill, baby, drill!...
PS, she was also asked about the inclusion of Georgia and the Ukraine in NATO and if they were and Russia invaded them wouldn't be required to join in a war against Russia? You could see her glee when she essentially said, "You Betcha!" It must be another one of Gods tasks...

Solid support from white suburbia (we won't waste time mentioning the rural factor) and white seniors, the key word, in case you missed it, being "white":

Like I've said all along, "it's over", with the only question being a landslide or not...

More details of the technology described in Bob Woodward's book, "The War Within" have surfaced and constitute the theme of a provocative article in the LA Times:

It appears the US military can look through buildings, accurately identify insurgent leaders and target them, effectively "head-hunting" instead of confronting a large insurgent force. Thus the success in Iraq, as opposed the Republican mantra of the surge being responsible for the decrease in violence in Iraq.
Now it's time to go head-hunting for Bin Laden. Politically speaking, it will help the Republicans because everybody knows they protect us more...

Not sure how accurate this is, but McCain has moved up in the electoral vote count. Check some of the data below the map.

I don't think it's accurate enough. My prediction of a likely landslide isn't quit there just yet. Led by the brilliance of the heartland, you have to wonder what it is about the McCain/Palin ticket that makes it a done deal, even before the "huge" debates begin.
Let's see now, which of the following account for the McCain landslide:
1. Experience and the economy. Oops, I almost forgot, McCain said he didn't have any. Oh well, lets consider some others...
2. Experience and education. We can expect a lot from a man who can't use the internet. Oops, McCain's campaign fixed that, just last week. Speaking of education, McCain's plan for retooling our jobs is not to retool our factories but to teach people how to use the internet! The plan for our 40 and 50 something year olds is to go back to junior college and complete their AA degrees in IT technology! The same tried and true plan as that from George W Bush. Who could argue with an experienced winner like that?
3. Experience and health care. McCain has had a lot of it. And since he has, he's designed a plan that won't cover him or anyone like him so people have to learn to take care of themselves. Who could argue with that?
4. Experience in natural disaster control. Just consider what the McCain campaign did one day ago with Sarah Palin . McCain was off by many millions on all of the earmarks Sarah got but the McCain campaign got control of it:
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-na-earmarks13-2008sep13,0,625580.story
5. Experience and energy: Say no more: drill, baby, drill just about covers it.
6. Experience and the war on terror: McCain will go to the gates of hell to track 'em down, dead or alive. It's high time to saddle up!
7. Experience in choosing a qualified running mate: We all know now what the difference is between a hockey mom and a pitbull is: lipstick! Well said and thank you John and Sarah for your indelible mark on our country's history.
8. Experience and partisanship. Voting with George W Bush 95% of the time certainly qualifies John McCain as a real maverick line man, a man of independence and pioneering spirit, just like those guys in the Keating five (or was it nine?)
9. Experience and lobbyists: McCain takes daily lessons from his lobbyist advisers so he'll be up to date when he rolls up his sleeves on day one in the White House.
10. Experience and tax reform: You can already hear the chants from corporate America: "Four more years! Four more years!!!
Ah yes, the coming experience....
