1. The GOP really DO think we're all stupid enough to vote for the Trojan horse candidate of the Religious Right.

2. I have to applaud the DNC for citing sources for their allegations in the video shown here. I'm getting really sick of republican ads making baseless allegations and trying to dupe the public.

3. Let's hope Geezy McFart keep running the Lipsticked Pig commercials. Obama is laughing all the way to the bank:

   "Palin raises $8 million — for Obama

   
   Obama's coffers have been filling since Sarah Palin attacked him repeatedly in St. Paul last night.

   An Obama aide confirms Drudge's report that Obama has raised about $8 million from more than 130,000 donors and is on pace to raise $10 million by the time McCain reaches the stage tonight."

   In every way, Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on giving.

4. Mickey Kaus at kausfiles.com has some good advice -- to all my fellow gays, and the Obama campaign, please TAKE IT:

   "Tomorrow's Marching Orders Today: If there were some sort of tacit liberal MSM conspiracy--a hypothetical!--Plan 1 was to knock Palin off the ticket out of the box with various unvetted home state scandals. Plan 2, the plan currently in place, is to force Palin to submit to "real interviews" where she will supposedly reveal her embarrassing unpreparedness for the office.

   "May I suggest to my fellow conspirators that we move directly on to Plan 3: Forget Palin. If we make the election about Palin, we will lose. She'll probably win her debate and will almost certainly handle the interviews well enough (to the satisfaction of the voters, at least, if not the experts). The election's not about Palin. It's about McCain. We can beat McCain. ... "

5. Palin has been sent out to be the trash-talking fall-creep for McSame... they send her to make a c*nt speech so that when he takes the stage tonight he can seem like the reasonable middle of the road candidate. Now if only someone could convince me that she is not the nasty, snarky, sarcastic bitch from hell that should be shunned at every level, maybe I would feel better. Sadly, I am sure it's teh real her!

6. Interesting excerpt from a letter to The Washington Independent by Anne Kilkenny, an Alaskan who the NYT's described as "a Democrat who said she attended every City Council meeting in Ms. Palin’s first year in office:"

   CLAIM VS FACT
   •“Hockey mom”: true for a few years
   •“PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
   school, not since
   •“NRA supporter”: absolutely true
   •social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
   that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
   (said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
   •pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
   promote it.
   •“Pro-life”: mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
   BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
   legislation
   •“Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
   residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.
   No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on
   supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
   administrator to run town of about 5,000.
   •political maverick: not at all
   •gutsy: absolutely!
   •open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
   explaining actions.
   •has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
   •”a Greenie”: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
   and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
   •fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
   •pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
   without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
   streets to early 20th century standards.
   •pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
   residents
   •pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
   government in Wasilla’s history.
   •pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union
   doesn’t make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim
   that she is pro-labor/pro-union.

8. Todd, if believing that helps you make it through the night, then you go ahead and sleep tight. We'll leave the night lite on for ya, too.

9. I'm about as scared as when Dan Quayle was a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

10. I wonder if Ben Stein & the Likudnicks who are programming the McCain campaign are distressed by Sarah's past proclaimation of "Christian Heritage Week".

11. Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin - a gun-toting, gay-hating, book-banning former beauty queen let her children get swollen bellies when they were underage for sex, allowing statutory rape to happen to her daughter. But hey... she doesnt believe in abortion if her kids are raped..right? So she encourages the paedophile rapist to marry her own daughter. This is the best we can do?
    Elect a woman like this?

12. McBush says he's going to change Washington. No more of the same, yet his entire campaign staff is made up of Bush loyalist, stalwarts and cronies ... exactly when is it Senator McCain that we can expect that change to begin?
