I was talking politics with a stranger today...and he stopped me to ask me who I supported in the Presidential race.
I said "Barack Obama."
He said..."end of discussion," and laughed and started to walk away.
I laughed, too, assuming he was for McSurge. "McCain?" I asked.
Nope..."Pat Buchanan," he said.
I said...."Ummm...you know Pat is not running this year."
He said, "yeah...I know...I'm writing him in." I couldn't think of anything cute to say. End of discussion.
I should have asked him to spell Pat's last name correctly...with three Ks.

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin
Yes...I haven't blogged in some time.
So the Democratic and Republican slates are all set. What have we learned?
Obama picked Joe Biden, a serious and experienced foreign policy expert who has run for President several times himself.
And who did McSurge pick? An anti-choice, pro-fur, pro-drilling, pro-gun, pro-hunting, creationist "hockey mom" with 20 -months of executive experience in one of the smallest states in the country, and who is coincidentally embroiled in an abuse-of-power scandal.
My prediction: This might seem like a race today. But it won't after people realize how clueless Palin is, and how careless McSurge was to choose her. She's Dan Quayle in drag. The thought that she can attract Hillary-voters should be interpreted as an insult to the intelligence of women everywhere.
She's even on record as saying she couldn't back Hillary because of "her whining."
Is she also related to Phil Gramm?

Feingold for VP?!?
I read a rumor that Russ Feingold is the stealth VP candidate for Obama. Be still my heart!
I'd love to see Senator Russ as VP...he's very bright and articulate, as is Obama. He'd be way better than Kaine or Bayh...
The ironic thing is that the GOPers have been painting Obama as "the most liberal member of the Senate" by a wide margin. They have inadvertantly pulled Russ towards the center!
Feingold is one of the folks who McSurge has cowritten legislation with too, and McCain-Feingold still sticks in the craw of the cons and neocons...what better way to remind them that St. John aint "one of them"?

McSurge Is Struggling With His 78 mph Fastball
Forget about losing your fastball, metaphorically speaking. McLame can't even get his 78 mph heater over for strikes any more (scroll to TPMTV "Dazed and Confused" if it is not at the top of the page...)
