"...It took a formidable candidacy to defeat Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton - a candidacy, by the way, which we strongly supported earlier this year."

Sounds like this editorialist didn't get their way (namely, Sir Hillary) and now wants to take their toys and go home. No sense playing with the enemy (Obama). If memory serves, Sir Hillary is also a junior senator (we won't mention the carpet-bagger thing). So are we to assume simply LIVING in the Whitehouse creates a better junior senator that one that doesn't? It's clear the author has made his choice since Hillary isn't on ticket but wouldn't you like to know what this person would be saying if she was the VP choice? I would be very interested.

Ronald McDonald McCain (RMM) is a joke as presidential material; althought there's no denying his military career and service as a senator. With that being said, RMM couldn't see a recession if it was knocking at the door of any one of his seven houses. McCain wants to keep spending our tax dollars, in addition to lots of borrowed cash, in Iraq until the job is done. What job is that, exactly? Even al-Maliki wants the US out at this point. RMM says stay the course, finish the job. Stay the course, finish the job. Who does that remind you of?

"Change is coming to Washington" - what RMM said at the GOP convention

"Short-changed is gaining in your rear-view mirror and it is much bigger AND closer than it appears!" - What RMM meant

Guess who just got tapped to bail out your long-lost cousins, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Yep, that would be all of us. I know my calculator doesn't have that many zeros but there's no way the US can burn that kind of cash here and abroad, cash it doesn't have, protecting us from the "axis of evil". If our newly-elected president can't comprehend the issues facing our ecomomy, how can they begin to formulate a plan. I like the idea of a president that's smarter than I am. In fact, if I should hear them uttering a fancy, uppity word, I'd be inclined to dig out my old Merriam-Webster and thumb through a few pages to look it up. Nothing wrong with learning, I hear it combats the onset of Alzheimer's. RMM is 95% of the time a clone of GW, he's just slower to the punchline. I don't see much change happening on "HIS WATCH".

Palin has yet to "speak" on her own and no one thinks this is unusual? Give whether her selection was brilliant or "bust" (yeah, you know what I'm talking about here). Give us just one public interview without a script and then we can judge her as a condidate. And some one should let her know the interviewer will be asking specific details surrounding timelines of her famous, "bridge to nowhere. I told'em I didn't want it". My question is, "Why did you still take the money?

And this from a person whose always voted Republican (for president, at least)...go figure. At least I don't have to vote for Hillary.
