Apparently, Governor Palin will step down from her position as Alaska’s governor. If this is correct, the operative question is “why?”. Obvious answer: to run for President of United States in 2012. However, she will still need a platform from which to accomplish such a feat. Writing a book seems likely, but what else???? Perhaps to run for United States Senate? But from what state; perhaps Lisa Murkowski should watch her back? (I know that Palin is reportedly supporting Murkowki’s re-election bid, but politicians change their minds ALL the time to suit their own objectives.)

California Governor and Austro-American superhero was phenomenal in his speech on behalf of McCain-Palin. What do you think? I give this performance an “A+++”

Tip of the cap to Polijam Times

The author of this piece implies an Obama “Presidency” is a fait accomplis. Au contrere;says the proprietor of this blog. McCain-Palin is the next team to head the executive branch of the US government.

Voter Fraud in Ohio

I heartily concur and will add my own reasons for voting McCain-Palin as we near election night.

Cindy McCain’s lawyer fires high,hard heat at the New York Times. For once, I am rooting for the lawyer.

I continue to maintain that a media-inspired backlash will cost Barack Obama this election. Annoy the media – vote McCain-Palin!!!!

Another factor to cost Obama this election: middle class backlash. The Democrats fashion themselves the party of “the little guy”, another patronizing and offensive term. Their ham-handed treatment of “Joe the Plumber” gives the lie to this claim (assuming it had validity, which it hasn’t in my life time.)

Barack Obama’s William Ayers alibi: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood” continues to unravel.

While we’re discussing Senator Government’s neighborhood, feast your eyes and thoughts on this one (as opposed to “That One”.)

On Tuesday, October 21, 2008, I will interview Mr. John Ruberry of Marathon Pundit fame. He is knowledgeable on all things Obama (nearly all things), including Rezko and company.

Kudos to the Boston Red Sox; never, ever write this team off until AFTER they are done. And apparently, they are not done yet. Thanks guys.

Given the kid-gloves treatment by the media, given the tumultuous economic conditions, given the national anti-Republican sentiment, given the public’s restive calls for “change”, given the candidate’s multiple Friends in Low Places problem, why isn’t Barack Obama Mopping the floor with John McCain? Karl Rove lays out some of the reasons. To which I would add: Obama has never closed the deal when he had to, going back to January’s New Hampshire Democratic primary, when he was supposed to wipe the floor with Senator Hillary Clinton. Moreover, the injection of Joe the Plumber into the campaign debate is the metaphor for blue collar America that Obama does not need. Joe reminds the rest of us Middle Class Americans that Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Kerry/Frank/Dodd/Carter/Kennedy/Gore/Rangel/Durbin/Biden/ et. al. are the enemy. They represent anti-America/anti-Western/anti-Israel/anti-Capitalist/anti-democratic/anti free thought subversion. Remember President John F. Kerry folks? I anticipate that the Joe the Plumber/Hillarycrats/Annoy the Media-Vote McCain/Palin types will provide Senator McCain-Governor Palin the margin of electoral victory in this election.

Admittedly, Senator Obama has plenty of company when it comes to economic illiteracy. However, since it is possible he will be this nation’s next President, here is an example of his illiteracy; Obama – Economic Illiterate.

The key to a sound economy; growth, wealth, entrepreneurship. Governor Palin gets it instinctively; McCain’s proposal is more weighted toward growth than not. But in general, Democrats want Americans fighting over the pieces of the economic pie. Republicans want to make the pie larger and realize that the American people are the pie-bakers.

First the why:

Media-inspired backlash. It goes without saying that the so-called mainstream media are actively rooting for Obama. However, this blatant cheerleading will not go unobserved by the regular “folks”. And the regular folks will go to the polls on November 4th and make their disdain for the media felt – by voting for McCain-Palin. Remember George H.W. Bush’s war cry: “Annoy the  media, vote Bush.”

Now the “how”

Attack relentlessly. Make Obama the issue; Palin is leading the way on this one. Frame the issue as follows: “Who is Barack Obama?”; “What does he stand for?”; “Why should one vote for him?”; “What does he stand for?” If Obama is the issue on November 4, 2008, he loses – just like he always does. He has never been able to seal the deal with voters because they believe he lacks the necessary qualifications to do the job.

AYERS/ACORN/Socialism, George Soros, etc. – Obama’s past is catching up to his present. Too much dirty business for voters to accept. I repeat, Barack Obama is NOT his own man. He is a cat’s paw for subversives and radicals bent on destroying this country’s traditions, institutions and foundations from WITHIN.

Hillarycrats/PUMA/Democrat defectors – are just getting their mojo.
