the party never ends
Sarah Palin: One defense of her. She was selected to fire up certain parts of the Repug base, & she did, & the reason she did is because she's from those parts. The white Repug underclass has never had one of their own on the ticket. So why are McCain's staffers kicking her around for being an indifferently-educated, born again hockey mom who isn't rich & craves a closet filled with expensive clothes like the flush Repug women? Didn't they look at her resume? .
Hopefully, we get to forget about this whackjob for a little while, unless she manipulates herself into Ted Steven's senate seat. Heck, four years in the senate she'll be as smart as Barack, right? She's not smart enough to understand that she needs to go back to school & study very diligently if she wants to come back to the lower 48. Rove invested years working on George W. Bush; even so he couldn't do much with W's inability to string together a coherent sentence away from a teleprompter, a problem Sarah also has. But Bush osmosed a certain amount of factual knowledge just by being a Bush, & by attending good schools. He's sure the world isn't flat. I think he's sure. & when she does return, please, will the "reputable" journalistic media give us a closer look at the Rasputin she has for a husband? Most of the mainstream media info I got on him was lightweight crap from Entertainment Tonight, which adores the Palin clan because, unlike the McCain, Obama, & Biden families, the Palins are a bunch of geeks from Nowheresville so hungry for the celebrity & wealth they see on TV that they've probably hired an agent & are trying to get booked on to Family Feud. Sarah also has competition from Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who doesn't have a personality like nails scraping a blackboard, & exotic Hindu-Catholic-Evangelical Louisiana Gov. Piyush "Bobby" Jindal. Bobby thinks Barack signifies a trend, & he wants in on it, so he's headed to Iowa next month.
Sen. Joe Lieberman: What do you do with a traitor? Joe gambled on a cabinet post in a McCain administration & he lost. He's served his purpose for the Repugs, & although they'd love to keep using him as a national security showpiece, Joe would have no pull in their caucus if he switched sides of the aisle. Democrats should ignore him. Take his committee jobs away & let him sulk on a back bench.
This graphic courtesy MY DD based on population provides a very good picture of how Obama's victory was achieved, & how groupings of blue states equal or outweigh red states. The goal isn't to win the most geography. Corn, cattle, cactus, & coyotes don't vote. Should also remind Jerseyans that we deserve even more pork & earmarks than we currently receive.
Linda Stender lost her bid for Jersey's 07 congress seat. Bush ideologue Rep. Mike Ferguson, smelling de feet by Linda, declined to run again. Linda found herself facing State Senator Leonard Lance, the kind of genial old-school Repug the horse country part of the district has long favored. Linda couldn't get traction on solid suburban issues like choice, education, the environment, & Bush's fiscal madness. Too bad. Ferguson's parents bought him the seat in 2000, he went to congress as one of Tom DeLay's boys, & he thought the party would never end. Lance is an improvement.
