		<description>Geo6-  Good.  It&#039;s time.  Now lets see the Senator doing the same thing.  He needs to take them down and he needs to start doing it NOW.  Both tag teaming the Dems... and if they lose, at least they did so having shown America they went down fighting and that they TOLD America what they would be getting.</description>

		<description>Bou, 

Check out Drudge right now.  Sarah took the gloves off and you should know what that means in hockey.  She&#039;s goin&#039; after him where I think he is vulnerable- the company he used to keep but didn&#039;t inhale.
Forgive the hosed up link but :  http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D93JSBFO0&amp;show_article=1

		<description>b2-  I hope you&#039;re right, because from where I sit, his campaign looks anemic.  Sarah Palin brought an enthusiasm to the campaign that was sorely needed.  I don&#039;t know what&#039;s been going on with those daggum interviews, if the McCain camp isn&#039;t spending the time coaching her properly or if they are getting piss poor advice, but its dragged the campaign down.

I expected the good Senator to come out swinging after the Convention and to just keep on swinging until the end.  So far... I&#039;ve not seen any swinging.  I&#039;ve seen... Nada.

And if his strategy is to wait until the 4th Quarter, then let us pray it works, because I&#039;ve watched many a game lost by trying too late to do too much, what should have been done far earlier.  

All I know is I don&#039;t want Obama in,  I think this current Congress sucks sewage laden pond water, that McCain looks anemic, that I WILL be out there voting... and he needs to start coming in strong because its starting to piss me off.</description>

		<description>&quot;I also get the sense that, should things not go her team’s way in November, Palin would be perfectly content to return to Alaska, finish off her term as governor, and go back to raising a family in Wasilla. Biden and Obama are entirely political animals, they have no other life than this - it defines them.&quot;

I swallowed my coffee the wrong way when I read this.  

Wow...are you really not seeing Sarah Palin?Is she really that easy to dismiss?  What makes you think she has any intention of being a one-term governor if McCain fails?   

Sarah Pain is ambitious...she chose to accept the VP bid at a time when many families might have found it easier to avoid the limelight and scrutiny of a national campaign...she decided not to squander the opportunity to appear on the big stage, even if the timing was off for her family (I don&#039;t know that I&#039;d drag a pregnant teenage daughter into center stage like that if I could avoid it, but, then again--to be VP...if I thought it were my only chance--ambition can blur one&#039;s perspective).
 
This is a woman who jumped from being mayor of what is a small town even in Alaska to state governor.  This is a woman who referred to all the great VPs who went on to become president during the debate...with a wink, clearly imagining herself there is 4-8 years.  

Don&#039;t let the calves or the pshaws, gosh darnits and you betchas fool you--Sarah Palin may profess to be a Washington outsider--but she wants to be an insider...the biggest insider.  

I have no problem with ambitious women--more power to her, literally...but don&#039;t assume because she puts her hockey mom-ness up front in her autobiography that is all she wants to be...ambitious girls don&#039;t strive to be second best--whether they are moms or not.  

If nothing else, it demonstrates she is a very crafty politician if someone I thought was a good reader of public figures bought the notion that she is just a Mrs. Smith going to Washington.  Her nickname is Sarah Barracuda, after all, and she&#039;s made a political career on her opponents (men) underestimating her.</description>

		<description>Mike Meyers --

Looks like &lt;a href=&quot;//www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/03/AR2008100303738_pf.html”&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;you are going to get your wish&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;blockquote&gt;With just a month to go until Election Day, McCain&#039;s team has decided that its emphasis on the senator&#039;s biography as a war hero, experienced lawmaker and straight-talking maverick is insufficient to close a growing gap with Obama. The Arizonan&#039;s campaign is also eager to move the conversation away from the economy, an issue that strongly favors Obama and has helped him to a lead in many recent polls.

&quot;We&#039;re going to get a little tougher,&quot; a senior Republican operative said, indicating that a fresh batch of television ads is coming. &quot;We&#039;ve got to question this guy&#039;s associations. Very soon. There&#039;s no question that we have to change the subject here,&quot; said the operative, who was not authorized to discuss strategy and spoke on the condition of anonymity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>If there isn&#039;t &quot;the same level of rage with an Obama win&quot; it&#039;s because the conservatives are the &#039;grown-ups&#039; here.  We don&#039;t do ugly and childish and dangerous things.   We may not have the virulent hatred of the radical left, but we do have an active disgust for people who behave as they do.  And we have serious doubts about the safety of our country under the aegis of such an inexperienced intellectual lightweight as Obama and his crowd.

When McCain wins, as you put it, the tantrums and hatred from the Left will be both ugly and sometimes dangerous.  Count on it.
