I would like to thank Governor Palin for a wonderful Independence Day gift – finally the so-called news media have been diverted from 24/7 coverage of Michael Jackson’s passing.
There has, of course been quite a bit of speculation as to the reasons for the Governor’s decision. Is she just sick of the political game, or [...]
In just a couple of days, the 2008 elections will be over….finally.
Of course, that means that it will be time for the 2012 election campaign to start up….

My respect level for McCain’s running mate just rose a couple of notches. Via CNN’s Political Ticker:
Wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and standing on a breezy tarmac, Palin said that if she had her way, the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee would not be flooding battleground states with automated phone calls tying Barack [...]
Sometimes the simplest messages are the most potent.

First, we had the “McCain Wins!” ads going out before the first debate. Now, this:
So, who is this “Famous Person”, and why haven’t I heard of him/her?
Bill Schneider at CNN observed:
Palin’s answers do not lack confidence, they lack coherence.
I’m not sure I’d go quite that far…but I wasn’t kidding when I said we had to change the channel.
Still, I wonder how Palin is playing with “Joe Sixpack” this evening.
Can anyone hear what Governor Palin is saying?
I could swear that she’s being drowned out by the sound of every dead grammar teacher spinning in his/her grave.
My wife just changed the channel with my blessing. Governor Palin is coming across as better-prepared than in recent interviews…but it was getting extremely painful for us to [...]
Yet another indication of how low expectations have been set for Governor Palin, via MSNBC:
If she doesn’t run off the stage crying, she wins.
For all those teetotalers who have been left out by debate/speech drinking games….
