John McCain has picked Alaska Governor Sara Palin as his VP pick. Palin's star has been rising in the republican ranks for a while now. This is not really a surprise, and will do nothing but help McCain in the run up to the election.
Not to mention that she is smoking hot for a 44 year old mother of 5. She will also make mince meat out of Biden on the issues in the debate. You can bet she will be ready.

More Bad News For The Dems
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26436824/
Coming off of the most uninspired, boring convention to date, the bad news just keeps coming for the dems.
The economy grew last quarter, and this is not good for Democrats. Like a successful surge in Iraq, the dems know that they cannot hang there hat on succsess so they have to hope the economy stays shitty, and that more Americans start losing there life in Iraq. They are the party built on "we already lost the war" and "we are heading toward a economic depression". So if the economy is growing, and we are having success in Iraq were does that leave the dems? Apparently at least dead even if not a couple of points behind McCain. Which is unprecedented during a convention. History and conventional wisdom has always shown a "bump" in the polls during a candidates convention. The tracking trends I have looked at show McCain trending upward and The Obama stagnating to say the least. Of course we will have to wait until after he appears and speaks tonight for a clearer picture. It's great timing for him as well, as college football starts tonight, and of course no one has any interest in that. The real campaign begins tomorrow, when it is expected that McCain will announce who he will nominate for veep. I'm betting on a hard core right wing surprise, anti abortion, pro military, pro economic growth, pro gun, hard ass son of a bitch, to get the base excited going into the twin cities. The thought of Lieberman is laughable, but he is going to need someone who can stand toe to toe, and spank Biden in the arena of ideas during the debate. Will see.

Obama The Hate Monger
It’s looking more and more like Obama has a lot more in common with Preacher Wright then he has let on. But at least he is showing his true colors. His comments in San Francisco last week show what kind of utter contempt that Obama and more importantly the Democratic Party has for working class people. The man basically called me, my family, most of my friends and neighbors ignorant, racist, gun toting, Jesus freaks.
This man and his party as well as the Republicans are so out of touch with the American people that I fear anything other than a third party revolution will result this great country turning into a cesspool of European Socialism and Marxism.
Every time a left leaning politician talks it seems like they are trying to make me feel guilty about not needing a government hand out. Like I must be doing something to wrong because I’m not on welfare, or take food stamps. I’m just one of the stubborn agitators who just wont except that the government knows what’s better for me than I do.
It really is time for change, but not the change Obama, Clinton, or McCain want to force on us.

Who Won? Who Knows?
If you would have told me this past November John McCain in all likely hood was going to be the nominee for the republicans I would have laughed in your face. Of course he didn’t do to well in the south. And like I have said before you are not allowed to be President unless we in the south say so.
The picture is not so clear on the democratic side. Obama had a decent showing among cracker men, (aka honkies, aka “the man”) especially in the south. If it wasn’t for the Latino vote the night would have been a disaster for Clinton. I have not seen a truly accurate delegate count, but it looks like the difference is going to be about 150 to 200 in Hillary’s favor. Not a lot coming out of Super Tuesday, and nothing Obama cant over come.

No Soup For You Tuesday
Tomorrow is the Super Bowl for political junkies. I’m still not convinced we will know whom the nominees are going to be come Wednesday morning. But it’s going to be fun watching the talking heads in the media cream their pants trying to figure out whom the frontrunner will be.
According to a friend of mine who keeps up with the polls more than I do California is totally up in the air. This is not surprising of course. This is the biggest of battle ground states. http://www.usaelectionpolls.com/2008/california.html
According to some polls I have looked at Clinton and Obama are in a statistical dead heat. And on the Republican side Romney has a slight edge. In both cases it looks like it will come down to the undecided voters.
I still remain hopeful that we will be swallowed up by a black hole between now and November, so that we may be spared the indignity of having to choose between two idiots who want control of our great nuclear arsenal.
