McCain riverboat gambler
(3) McCain's judgment looks horrible -- is she ready to be president?
(4) McCain's temperament looks horrible -- he's doubled down on a king of diamonds and a 6 of hearts.This makes more sense if you remember that McCain likes to play the craps table in Vegas for hours on end. Obama is the poker player.

What was the flop TV show with Genna Davis as the President?
Old man President dies and young untested college president is now commander in chief?

McCain likes to play the craps table when in Vegas, cute brunette on his arm. He met her once, back in February when she was in DC for the National Governors meeting.He sees himself in her, maverick and reformer, taking on the party establishment.
Well, the Senator McCain of pre-2001. The Candidate McCain is not like that at all. The changes to her Wiki page early Thursday is an interesting twist. She is trying to re-invent herself, too.

Mark Halperin is related to Morton Halperin, wire tapped for years by Nixon for the suspicions he was involved in the leaking of the Pentagon Papers.
I guess this is the way Mark is trying to ensure that what happened to his father does not happen to him. The father must be proud.
William Kristol, George Bush, John McCain. Isn't this country sick yet of sons trying to one-up their fathers?

Oh, and I'm a convert now. Married into the Church, so I get the Hungarian Ursaline nuns "the Commies will kill you for your faith" stories second hand.

We had just moved to CA when JFK visited the Navy base that summer, the same year he fell. I was babysitting the coaches kids at a probate school in MD the day MLK was shot. Divorce sent me back to CA for the RFK assassination. Hope I'm not jinxed, realizing all that as I write it down. 1972 was my first election for the vote also. Boy, the fights with my Dad. He nows sends me all the Obama articles out of his Newsweek.
It's not the party of Ike any more. I could not agree with Susan any more, and her big concern is the old Soviet sphere. She is fearful of the "hammer because everything looks like nail" approach to blustering that both Bush and McCain have taken in all areas of foreign policy. The Rove-style policies of personal destruction is not the way to run our foreign policy was the point I took from her post.

Redneck comes from strikers here in WV that wore bandannas to show unity and be easily identified in the crowd when the Pinkerton showed up with their muscle. A true redneck could never support McCain's anti-labor positions. Think Ledbetter.
