Palin is Getting Good Press in London
Glowing review here for Governor Palin, from a Brit who seems to get American voters better than the Democratic Party does.

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

The writer hit the nail on the head with her closing comment; "the cruel fact may prove to be that more American voters can identify with the dreams of the white girl from the frontiers than the black man from the Washington beltway."
Unfortunately the condition of our econonomy was not factored in at the time of her writing so she did not consider the American voter's penchant to fall for Obama's promises of something for nothing.
Time will tell; President Bush is certainly doing everything he can to get McCain elected by working his butt off on the economy...time will tell.
To smoothfur - almost makes me wonder how hugo chavez would fare in this election. almost a shame he isn't running as an independent. he would clearly steal enough of obama's votes to seal the deal for the gop. no matter that he isn't eligible, every single voter who would vote for him has probably never read a word of the constitution and in the rare case that he or she had, it wouldn't matter; he or she would still throw his or her vote away for the promise of free money courtesy of a robin hood economy.
Mudge is correct. I am so sorry to say.
