off topic...anyone see the korean air commercial?

its 15 seconds of subliminal sex

GOP is pulling out all the stops - circling the wagons.

Fred Thompson's speech will defend Palin and attack Obama on abortion

McCain stands by his VP pick - thinks America is all excited.

Analysts: McCain's Palin pick: Wrong kind of buzz

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

The media doesn't understand life membership in the NRA; they don't understand getting up at 3 a.m. to hunt a moose; they don't understand eating a mooseburger; they don't understand being married to a guy who likes to snowmobile for fun. I am not surprised that they don't get it. But Americans get it. A mooseburger means she is like one of us. She is not some jackass who's "gone Washington."- Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL)

The Palin Effect and DNC Bounce

Gallup has Obama at 50% for first time

Rasmussen confirms at 51% when "leaners" are factored in

Rasmussen finds:

Despite all the national attention that has been focused on Sarah Palin, public perceptions of the Alaska Governor have changed little in the last few days. She is still viewed favorably by just over half of all voters. A separate survey found that Obama is number one and Palin number two on the list of candidates people would like to meet.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Oh, Lordy, kiss McCain goodbye.  

Palestinian Attack In Israel Part of God's Judgment, Said Recent Guest At Palin's Church

    Describing a trip by his son to Jerusalem, Jews for Jesus founder David Brickner described the a July Palestinian bulldozer attack against Israeli civilians as part of God's "judgment."

    That speech, from August 17, is posted on the church's website, along with all other recent addresses delivered to the congregation.

    In a talk entitled "The Jerusalem Dilemma," Brickner also went on to describe all of the problems in the Middle East as related to Jerusalem. "But what we see in Israel, the conflict that is spilled through the Middle East, really which is all about Jerusalem, is an ongoing reflection of the fact that there is judgment," Brickner told Palin's church, adding: "Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. It's very real. When Isaac [Brickner's son] was in Jerusalem he was there to witness some of that judgment, some of that conflict, when a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment -- you can't miss it."

Banned but hopefully not forgotten.

that they are betting the farm on abolishing reproductive rights and the promise of appointing 1 to 3 judges to the supreme court to get that done as a means to ignite their base to beat Obama.

Pat Buchanan just claimed that the Obamas "Like the idea of partial birth abortion"  and Rachel Maddow jumped on him.  

ugh.

"Little people are very stuff-intensive."

whoa!!!!

on msnbc just now christie whitman was asked if palin is ready to be president and she answered is anybody ever ready to be president?

didnt bill clinton say the same thing?

i wonder if anybody will catch that or rip her a new asshole for it.

Oops. Nice freudian slip. You can find this in several places, this just happens to be from Politico. It does just keep getting worse.

Touting John McCain's much-buzzed-about new running mate, RNC Co-Chairwoman Jo Ann Davidson got caught up in the moment on the convention stage.

"The next vice president of the United States, Sarah Pawlenty!" Davidson said, a cringe-worthy conflation of McCain's No. 2, Sarah Palin, and veepstakes runner-up and host governor, Tim Pawlenty.

I didn't see it - off to find a video clip.

Orrin Hatch claims to have teared up when he realized the Republicans might put the first woman in the WH.

Andrea Mitchell just asked him about her lobbyist  connections and he claimed they all knew about them and she's still a reformed.

WHy doesn't lightning strike these mofos when they speak?
