      <![CDATA[<p>I'm sorry to bring up Sarah since she's already received a thousand times more coverage than she deserves.</p>
<p>It's not because&nbsp;she's a woman (sorry PUMA PAC), it's becuase&nbsp;she is&nbsp;<strong>clearly an idiot </strong>that we don't like her.&nbsp; As if she needed to keep proving what an embarrassment it would have been if she was VP, she continues to give us evidence: &nbsp;<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27676137#27676137">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27676137#27676137</a></p>
<p>Eight years of dummy in the white house was enough, we didn't need to put someone there who makes GWB look smart by comparison.</p>
<p>Please, please let her 15 minutes be up now.&nbsp; On second thought, if this is the future of the Repbulican party and their best hope for 2012, then more power to her.</p>
<p>Those of us with at least half a brain will just continue to cringe every time she opens her mouth.</p>

      The man who my father once called a &quot;circumference S.O.B.&quot; (you can walk all the way around him, and any way you look, he&apos;s still a sonofabitch) - Bob Novak - is laying the groundwork for the McCain campaign to go as negative as they want:

http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=14008

You see?  Our FOUNDING FATHERS campaigned reprehensibly in 1800, so it would be Un-American to do otherwise!

For anyone paying attention, the phenomenon of negative campaigning is not new.  But it&apos;s funny that Bob Novak thinks now is the time - as the McCain/Palin camp gets desperate and declares that they&apos;ve got no choice but to go even more negative - to point out that it&apos;s perfectly fine, nay, patriotic, to drag a campaign completely into the ditch.

I&apos;ve been for Barack since I heard the 2004 Democratic convention speech and then heard Al Franken compare it to the Republican speech.  I was again reminded of why I support him after Super Tuesday when Hillary&apos;s speech was full of vitriol and venom, while Barack talked about uniting us.

The reason that this election feels like a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence?  Because it is.  I&apos;m (barely) too young to remember what is was like when Jack Kennedy was elected, but I think I&apos;m starting to get the idea.

So, yeah Bob, the 1800 campaign was nasty, and so was every once since.  That doesn&apos;t make it OK.  We&apos;re sick of the lying, the hate, the venom, the dirty tricks.  We want a leader, and we think we&apos;ve found him.
