I find it interesting as a woman that Hillary has said virtually zero about the pick of a woman VP candidate. Deep down she must be seething:-) I agree with the Clintons, it’s always about the Clintons - should be interesting to hear what kind of “spin” she will put on the Palin pick when she goes to Tampa tomorrow on behalf of Obama.

Mary,

You haven’t missed it. Hillary has a dilemma in terms of whether she wants to help the guy who beat her, or whether she would rather see him lose so she can run again in 2012. With the Clintons, it’s always about the Clintons.

Have I missed her comments or has Hillary been somewhat silent on McCains pick of Palin?

Loved the rant but I am encouraged that the Republican’s may very well pull this one out. I minister in the most liberal section of Virginia. Blacksburg, home of the Virginia tech Hokies, please don’t ask me what a Hokie is Anyway, last evening after going to the ACF (African Christian Fellowship) bible study I drove through town on my way home and I actually saw three, yes 3, young Tech students chanting and carrying a McCain sign down the sidewalk where all the other Tech students hang out. It’s a start!!!

A strength of John McCain is that he is good at off-the-cuff speaking while Barack Obama is not. This should hep McCain fair well in the debates where he won’t be tied down to a teleprompter and might hobble Obama who is addicted to the written speech.

I still don’t get your pessimism about McCain. Yes, in his last attempt at this he dissed Falwell and Pat Robertson. I’ll have to admit, those guys got under my skin too. That doesn’t mean he is anti-evangelical. He has attended a solidly conservative Southern Baptist church for 15 years. While he is for stem cell research, but he is staunchly pro-life. He opposes homosexual marriage but believes it is a state issue. Last I checked, states issue marriage licenses. Like the Rolling Stones said, “You can’t always get what you want…but if you try sometime…you just might find you get what you need.”
