Sadly, she sounds a lot like the Bush administration. So she'd fit right in on day one.

On Romney's 'borderline insane' speech:

Mitt Romney seems to use the word "liberal" in a randomly pejorative fashion. I half expect him to say "I was eating breakfast this morning, and my hash browns were all liberal. I sent them back and told the waitress to bring me some good, conservative hash browns."

Hahahaha!

I was philosophically turned off from last night's speech.

The Daily Show really is doing the work that the "legitimate" news isn't....

Below is a strange campaign strategy. If it is to tend to family stuff, fine, but considering how Gov. Palin energized the Republican base, I would think that you would want to run with that.

Palin Makes Her First Gaffe

Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend.

Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."

Economists and analysts pounced on the misstatement, saying it demonstrated a lack of understanding about one of the key economic issues likely to face the next administration.

"You would like to think that someone who is going to be vice president and conceivable president would know what Fannie and Freddie do," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "These are huge institutions and they are absolutely central to our country's mortgage debt. To not have a clue what they do doesn't speak well for her, I'd say."

Butt, don't be surprised if this has no impact what-so-ever.

Wow. Not only do I understand jOHN's reply - I also agree with it!

I reserve a tiny sliver of hope that this will be pointed at by the mainstream media as an example of Palin's lack of qualifications to be VP, but I'm pretty certain that the Republicans will claim that questioning this statement is somehow demeaning to Palin as a woman, and it'll drop out of the news pretty quickly.
