IF ELECTED, OBAMA WILL BE MY PRESIDENT
Face it, McCain = Dole:
An old, big government, Washington insider who got the nod because "it was his turn."
How can Republicans possibly expect to win when even registered Republicans don't like the guy? Before he was the nominee, he was the Republican politician every Republican loved to hate.
I voted twice for Bush and see what a mistake it was. I'm going back to Libertarian or nothing; you guys are pretenders.

Oh, and if you really want to get things started with the Obama hate-fest, everyone should heretofore refer to him simply as HUSSEIN.
That seems to drive the left wing nuts and is no different than them referring to Bush as Dubya, an attempt to portray Bush as some country bumpkin.

Really the best and easiest thing to do is simply stop paying attention because, in the end, it really doesn't matter who wins.
Could Obama really be more Big Government Socialist than the prescription benefit, new bureaucracy, bank nationalizing Bush? I doubt it.
Republican voters seem to believe there is a difference between the parties but the actions of Republican politicians says otherwise.
It really doesn't matter, especially when the Republican candidate is Ted Kennedy's best bud.

McCAIN CAMPAIGN STILL FOUNDERING
Rick----There is part of me that agrees with you---But the other part says that to even be heard, the cult of personalty that is driving the Obama campaign has to be punctured and this ad is a first good start at this---On NR's site there is one person's report that this was the first ad this particular man's wife would look at of McCain's and she then went on to look at other McCain ads she had herethereto never been inclined to take an interest in---hopefully a coordinated issues series will follow

TOP TEN THINGS THAT CREEP ME OUT ABOUT OBAMA
If you read some of the paranoid ravings here, and that's what they are with comparisons with Hitler/Mussolini etc., you can can see why the GOP is going to be out of power for years. We've lost touch with reality. We may not like the fact that the Dems have got an incredibly bright, articulate, graceful and, yes the word is cool, candidate but they have. At one point I was expecting this to be a close race despite the overall landscape which favors the dems but I'm starting to change my mind. It's going to be a blowout for this guy. McCain's performance this past week was about as UN-presidential as it could be while Obama's was basically masterly. We're kidding ourselves if we think the great majority of Americans don't want their leaders to be respected and liked abroad. Kennedy has assumed almost mythic status because of his global popularity. Rick can post these schoolyard lists which get applause from the pj crowd but this is not where the real political world is 2008. Until we recognize we've got a problem and start growing up I see the wilderness stretching ahead for years. Sorry.

When looking at a list like that, I comfort myself in the knowledge that, based on how his staff has run his campaign, whatever meglomania Obama may harbor and/or whatever authoritarian impluses Michelle may have figure to be swamped in a clusterphque of incompetence if Barack does with the nomination.
Obama's media love affair in 2008 mirrors the one given by the New York-based press to David Dinkins back in 1989 in his run against Rudy Giuliani -- same campaign vapidness, same orgasmic media love, as if the mere election of the first African-American mayor would turn New York into Shangra-La. And then just as now, every foible by the candidate, and then by the mayor, was downplayed or ignored until his Louie XVI Sun King act of ordering the planes to fly a different takeoff route out of LaGuardia so he could watch the U.S. Open, finally ticked off enough people so that even with continued media adjulation for Dinkins, Giuliani won the rematch in 1993.
Of course, screw-ups as president haave far greater consequences than screw-ups as NYC mayor, but if Obama gets elected, I expect to see the same "It's good to be the King" attitude, the same feet of clay when it comes to doing anything to anger your core base, the same big media looking the other way attitude that's even obvious now during the campaign, and by 2012, the same public rebellion as there was in '93 (or as with Reagan and Carter in 1980), even as the press and Democrats try to play Kevin Bacon in "Animal House", standing on the sidewalk during the parade riot yelling "All is well".

THE NEW YORK TIMES VS. COMMON DECENCY
interesting about the New York Times double standards. Thousands of dollars spent on persecuting - I mean prosecuting - White House staff and friends over the "outing" of a CIA agent that was already "out", yet not giving any consideration to a interrogator who is trying to keep the US safe.
Someday the chickens will come home to roost, and I hope the current staff at the Times will get their reward.

A LITTLE ALTERNATE HISTORY: 'HOPKINS SLAMS FDR IN NEW BOOK'
And don't forget that tell-all about Lincoln by his secretary, Hay.

"Scotty" is an uninformed person on this topic. And therefore in error.
Valerie Plame's name was first bruted about by Richard Armitage at State. Powell knew it. Fitzgerald knew it. Both remained mute. In fact, it seems like everyone knew it. Except "Scotty."
