The Florida & Michigan delegates shouldn't be halved - they should be DOUBLED!
Caucuses are blatantly undemocratic:1. Many people can't participate due to health, job or other concerns;2. Support below a certain threshold, typically 15%, is treated as 0%.Despite this, many people defend caucuses because they reflect the will of the most committed...more »

I'm sure the RNC will pony up the dough to hire anyone needed to help take care of her child.

She hasn't gone toe-to-toe with Putin over the Bering Straits?
Why did McCain choose this Putin appeaser?

Moreover, since the CW says the VP candidate is supposed to be the attack dog, how's Palin going to criticize Obama for a lack of experience?
Although the McCain campaign will describe every criticism of Palin as sexist, so every McCain campaign talking point will boil down to the POW-sexist defense.

Wow, so much for McCain having the judgment and experience to be President.
But at least the ticket will now have the executive experience that Giuliani values so highly.
If he was going to pick a 1st term governor, wouldn't it have made more sense to pick Crist of Florida?

Rev Ezekiel Bush,
This is a little off topic, but it's too important to wait on niceties.
I've heard that 3 am is the considered to be the anti-hour. Obama text messaged his choice for VP at 3 am. Does that mean that Obama is the anti-Christ or, at the very least, an agent of Satan?

Definitely some good stuff:
Can anyone look at the record of this administration and say, "Well done?" Can anyone compare the state of our economy when the Carter Bush Administration took office with where we are today and say, "Keep up the good work?" Can anyone look at our reduced standing in the world today and say, "Let's have four more years of this?"

Doesn't picking a veteran who was merely severely wounded in the line of duty undercut McCain's POWness?
