Political Punch

Bud,
You forgot to mention Mike Schmerconish and Peggy Noonan. Both of them have made very valid and telling criticisms of Sarah Palin and are on that distinguished list,as well. Thanks for a great post..

We have been totally informed about Obama. HA HA. Sarah Palin has been under the microscope since day one.
All the microscopic evidence about Obama has been lost or covered up.
The only way we are going to know him
is after the election and we aren't
going to like what we find.
LEFT WINGERS LIE AND CHEAT.

The maniacal mismanagement and reckless spending by Bush and the republicans. Plus the schizophrenic campaign by McCain/Palin have made it possible for Obama to be on the brink of winning. Republicans have only to look in the mirror to find the culprits and accomplices. Ha Ha.

There is a huge amount of publicity about Sarah Palin and she’s definitely no typical woman. Yet there is a lot about her that people don’t know about. Dailysource.org has a lot of evidence on Palin’s current political views and actions, which presents her high and low career points as Alaskan Governor. Go to

I'm about as surprised at Scott McClellan endorsing Obama as I would be at Judas supporting Pontius Pilate.

========================================

First conservatives drive their supporters away and then make sure they stay away. Good move! Continue to anger moderate Republicans and Independents and you will remain a minority party for decades.

Another smart and brave republican. Welcome aboard!

Welcome here fellow republicans. We put our country first. Vote for the best and decent team: OBAMA-BIDEN. Joe the plummer's wife doesn't have the $150k for a shopping spree for the holidays. McCain should rent Joe the plummer one of his toilets. That's what Obama meant by spreading the wealth, at least I thought!

McCain used to be a hell of a good Senator. (past tense) In 2000 I wanted McCain to be President ( I hated Bush then and ...still do).

A good Senator does not necessarily make a good President. McCain is no longer a Maverick. He has poor judgement about the war, about the economy and his VP pick......why do so love her and some hate her. She is just not presidential material

Colin Powell Is Right the Republican Party is and has been to far to the Right,And Sara Palin is way way far Right, And Mccain felt he had to go far right to win this time. thats why he chose Palin, But we have had a far Right President for 8 years, this is not what the country wants now. Thats why Independents as well as Moderate Republicans are Jumping on the Obama/Biden wagon.

I'm about as surprised at Scott McClellan endorsing Obama as I would be at Judas supporting Pontius Pilate.

It's interesting to see that even when McCain talks about the "golden era", he speaks of Reagan and O'Neill and neatly skips over the two Bushes. I have a sneaky suspicion he'd vote for Obama too if he were not his opponent.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

And there is NO similar defection of high-profile Democrats supporting McCain. Lieberman went off the reservation long ago. Remember he became an independent in 2006 and has been in the tank for McCain ever since.

Here are some of Obama's other higher profile GOP endorsements:

Colin Powell
Jim Leach (fmr. Iowa Rep.)
Christopher Buckley (William F. Buckley's son)
Ken Adelman (advisor to 4 GOP presidents)
Susan Eisenhower (Ike's Granddaughter)
Francis Fukuyama (Reagan advisor)
Richard Riordan (former LA Mayor)
Lowell Weicker (former Connecticut Gov)
Lincoln Chafee (former Senator from R.I.)
Jim Whitaker (Fairbanks, Alaska Mayor)
Bill Ruckelshaus (Nixon & Reagan advisor)
Lilibet Hagel (Sen. Chuck Hagel's wife)
David Friedman (Milton and Rose's son)
Wick Alison (former publisher of the National Review)
Linwood Holton (former Virginia Gov.)

I'm sure there are many, many more who are quietly crossing over to vote for Obama. And there is NO similar list of high profile Dems for McCain.

Why is that? Because many of those who know him have seen his temperament up close.

These are some of the things that McCain's GOP "friends" in the Senate have had to say about him:

Bob Smith, former senator from New Hampshire: McCain's "temper would place this country at risk in international affairs and the world perhaps in danger. In my mind, it should disqualify him."

Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico: Talking about McCain, said he doesn't "want this guy anywhere near a trigger."

Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi said of McCain: "the thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded."

Republicans crossing over..good to see and hear about in the news coverage.

I don't at all see the connection between the republicans not voting in McClenan's mom in - has anything to do with Scott voting deomocrat this time around because another Republican won the race for governor! sorry, Sean.

The cross-over by Republicans shows the uniqueness of the Obama campaign. This is the first time in my 56 years that I have seen this phenomenon. One of the reasons that the Democrats did not win the last two elections is that the population did not see much of difference between the two party's positions. There were two responses. One was folks going to the polls and voting for Bush over Kerry. The other one was people just staying away from the polls because they saw no major difference between the two.
The fervor we are seeing, all of the early voting, is a reflection of the country seeing a clearer difference and a better chance at real positive change.

It's obvious that the republicans, like Carlson, who support Obama think that Obama follows the Bush policies, since Obama's position seem closer to him than McCains does.
McCain has also been labeled a liberal Republican and Conservative Democrat because he has crossed party lines to pass a bill the Dems were pushing and didn't make some of the Republicans happy.

There are many Dems who are supporting McCain, but that doesn't get the coverage, but Republicans who support Obama does.

McClellans just bitter because his mom ran for governor of Texas (I voted for her) against Bush's friend Rick Perry, (Bush endorsed him, while Scott McClellan was White House press Sec) and she lost.

There is a huge amount of publicity about Sarah Palin and she’s definitely no typical woman. Yet there is a lot about her that people don’t know about. Dailysource.org has a lot of evidence on Palin’s current political views and actions, which presents her high and low career points as Alaskan Governor. Go to

Good for these Republicans. It is nice to see those who are truly bipartisan and will vote for the candidate.

Go Obama!!

Oh yeah! Republicans crossing over.

Obama/Biden 08!
