Palin gimmick has worn off entirely.

I have only anecdotal evidence, and not very much of it.

Nevertheless, I’m fascinated by the intensity of outrage that I’m hearing from friends and acquaintances, many of whom have voted for Republicans in past years. (And my conversations have included a couple of suburban, white-collar evangelicals who have strong pro-life views. So when they fumed about Palin, I figured that was a significant ‘tea leaf’.)

Restores my faith in the general judgment of my fellow humans.
More, please…

Bottom line: the whole world will get to hear it, and read it, and study it, and dissect it, and it’s not a matter of whether but rather how many will want to tear him a new one over it- and meanwhile his record also supports greatly the likelihood of him being both aware of and prepared for that.

We all have our feelings about the FISA capitulation and what was really behind it. I suspect the full picture will turn out to make Obama look both a bit better and a bit worse than what is now publicly known. As to the better, I think its fair to note that Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid have been exceptional in the understanding, empathy, sympathy and support they’ve shown and provided to each other, and a junior first term Senator with serious ambitions to head up the entire party would conclude it prudent to invest a little of his own show of support in that regard. I also think it hasn’t done him any harm with the Blue Dogs, to say the least.

Could you comment as to whether or not the netroots (specifically bloggers) are communicating with one another to come up with a plan to propose. AARP would be an important group to include due to the vast number of retirees who will be affected by this.

But of course, this is no substitute for substance!

How can this McSame/MsBull…winkle campaign subsist on nothing but “shiny-thing” gimmickry you ask?

When you’ve got nothing of substance that anyone wants, your campaign has become a mockery of late-nite talk shows and you’re falling off the cliff in the opinion polls, well then just trot some more “shiny-thing” gimmickry.

As in this long, long line of “shiny-thing” gimmickry:

- A moose is loose Sarah MsBull…winkle
- We are all Georgians now.
- We should have had more regulation.
- The Surge has been successful.
- A chicken in every pot.
- A rabbit in every hat.

McSame will play the very same role in leading us out of this financial ditch as he has done on all things economic during his entire career.

That will be nothing, nada, zilch!. McSame, after all, knows nothing about economics. He’s said so himself, repeatedly and endlessly.

And what pray tell can we expect from McSame/MsBull…winkle campaign going forward?

Why more “shiny-thing” gimmickry, of course!

And it might just sell to the very same Repugs folks who invested in Pet Rocks.

McCain suspends campaign, to move back to DC. .”until economic crisis is resolved.” He seeks to delay Friday night’s debate.

McCain’s advisers say they will do all the debates but the schedule is up in the air.”

They also deny that there is a political calculation in this and say without action the country could slide into a Depression by Monday and added “we’ll see 12 percent unemployment if action is not completed.”

Depression by Monday??? Economic Expert McCain and Silly Sarah to the rescue!!
