#8, if the Palin pick was unserious (which I don’t agree with), Obama and Clinton at the top of their tix is SNL funny.

I said that the prolife decisions make her “worthy of consideration,” not “qualified.” I assume you can read.

As to the “kinda weak” claptrap — What about Viguerie’s statement that I agree with …..

She is living proof that a person can take on the corrupt political establishment – including corrupt leaders in her own party – and achieve great things.

…. don’t you understand?

Still seems your endorsement is kinda weak. There appears little to support the idea that she is a conservative in fiscal matters or that she has given international affairs any deep thought at all. I agree that Harvard and teaching Constitutional Law doesn’t qualify a person to be president, but certainly neither does a bachelor in communications or being mayor of a town of 7,000. It appear even you see the weakness here. But this isn’t really about Palin or Obama, it is more about McCain’s recklessness. With the financial system on the brink and with growing international tensions, McCain show how unserious he is with such a pick.

And since you Repubs keep bringin up Trig, I have to ask this: How responsible is it for a 43 year old Governor with 4 older children and a high pressure career to get pregnant? I’m not talking about abortion, I’m talking the “getting pregnant” part. And this is one of the 2-3 major things that makes you support her?

Tom, ignore #1…hes a spammer.

Biden probably did say it about OSU. Even though they have been a complete embarasment this year I would think they could handle Delaware.

#5, the humor is definitely there. Palin's fitness is mostly self-evident to all who don't get that an Ivy League education in and of itself proves nothing. It's up to critics to prove she's not. They haven't, but have given passes to objectively less qualified candidates at the TOP of the ticket in the past (Bill Clinton) and present (Obama). But if you're looking for Palin props around here, you have plenty: - this (prolife cred, preferable to aggressive infanticide; the former makes Palin worthy of consideration, the latter make Obama objectively unfit); - this, delegated by me to Richard Viguerie -- "Governor Palin’s life story is one of sticking to principle. She is living proof that a person can take on the corrupt political establishment – including corrupt leaders in her own party – and achieve great things." That is not refutable. - this ("Palin Killed Bridge to Nowhere, per ….. AK Dems"), with the last word supplied by Club for Growth.

For the record I am pro-elitist for my doctor, lawyer and president. I just think it is hillarious that a woman named de Rothschild is quoted as saying Obama comes off as elitist. You can’t make this stuff up!

BTW, I have noticed you have not really said much positive about Palin, except to knock her critics. If she’s so great, why the hesitation?

#1, from a web guy who wants to keep his work proprietary, and isn’t particularly active in this area right now. I’ll check, but assume he’s out of pocket unless I contact you. Thanks for the nice words.

#2, true enough.

#3, funny how this “elitist” was perfectly acceptable lo these many years until now. I guess there are good elitists and bad elitists, eh?

Ms. de Rothschild believes Obama is too elite. Now that’s rich, real rich.. Maybe she missed it when McCain said he would pay Lettuce pickers $50 per hour, or maybe she is just as out of touch as McCain.

The point that isn’t being made is that the banks that took advantage of GLB and diversified are the ones doing OK, and the ones that didn’t are the ones failing!
