1. Ted:Mac Pick Palin Veep BEFORE Hil Campaigns w/Obama!
In addition to her overwhelming attraction on the oil/energy issue and the female/disaffected Hillary voters, her human interest story will generate millions and millions of dollars worth of publicity and media coverage — essentially free to the McCain campaign — more than offsetting Obama’s reported money advantage

Delusional! A 30 second spot will cost the same no matter who the VP is. You CANNOT offset a money advantage. You can make better use of the money you have, which is a different thing altogether.

Eventually, the USA will have to go to a federally funded election system
That will upset all those who are buying politicians as well as the politicians getting bought.
YOu can tell who they are by how often the read the first amendment and find the words “campaign contributions’ in there.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
I don’t see those words, do you? Some black robed tyrant did and now we are stuck with legalized bribery, institutionalized corruption and crosses in buckets of urine.
Jun 24, 2008 - 6:06 am 3. Todd:Thee BRT’s kept a low profile when Congress and the White House was under Republican control, but that will change with a Democrat in the White House.
Palin will not be the pick. In April of this year she gave birth to a boy with Down’s Syndrome. It’ll be enough of a challenge to meet her duties as governor; no way she’s travelling all overthe country to run for VP.
Maybe next time, though…
Jun 25, 2008 - 8:04 pm 4. Senlin:Bill Richardson was the UN Ambasador the White House telephoned for help in getting Monica out of town when she started getting troublesome. (Bill had not at that time come out of the closet as a Latino, but that’s another story). He got the message and immediately flew a 3-person team down from UN headquarters to Washington to interview her in her apartment at the Watergate. (He does not recall whether he came himself). He authorized an immediate offer of a job on his UN staff paying a 60,000 taxpayer dollars per year, which she mercifully declined. Her high school diploima probably made her overqualified for the UN). This is all in transcripts included as part of the Starr Report and has never been denied, much less refuted.
I cannot imagine that sort of information will get B-HO lot more votes than Marion Barry could draw. It is, however, a delicious way for B-HO to stick not one but two fingers in Mrs. Clinton’s eye: Richardson was both her husband’s removal service for “that Lewenski woman,” and (according to the courtly Jim Carville) a modern day “Judas” for backing B-HO during the primaries.
What the heck, B-HO is so far ahead he might just do it for fun.
