I love the expressions in the blog – and I don’t read the ones I don’t like. I don’t know why some people read what they hate. Doesn’t make sense to me.

This isn’t changing any minds, other than making people who don’t have a strong opinion wonder why you’re so keyed up about her. No one really knows her very well yet, so how can you be so sure you hate her?

You would be better served by picking your battle lines more carefully, and acknowledging why people might like her, even as you make your argument that Biden is a better choice.

We need a brilliant creative minds and Obama is as close as it gets this time. He picked a senior senator as his running mate, actually that is intelligent, to understand what is and how it all works, the good the bad and the ugly Biden has seen it. Washington is big and complex.

This could be a pivotal point in history or it could bring about more of the same, either way we get more of the same actually. When they address the opposition they need to do it outside of the political rhetoric, always agree and call for more insight and consideration. Not bigger government not more spending a more efficient government, smarter government. Its not about winning a war, its about taking it in a direction that makes us more secure not less. We already won the war in Iraq now its a matter of maintaining security and defending against random acts of violence and those that instigate them. Its about dispelling misconceptions of who we are and what we represent. We are all about freedom and civil liberty. We are not about a nanny state, we can do better and we can bring back respect and dignity.

Palin serves better as governor of Alaska for access to resources without control of the oil companies for that she is astounding. McCain serves well as a bipartisan senator, he is not the ideal president, he needs to accept that, its not his destiny. He seems to have bought Palin and if she is an outsider than why corrupt her? Its actually rather deceitful and self serving, she is compromising the integrity of her family for it. He is parading her around and using the power of her daughters first love to what win votes, yes the scenario is charming and endearing, but what does it have to do with besides PR?

I prefer Obama consulting and deliberating over McCain blithering indecisively. Palin is a smart woman and I bet she is contemplating whether she should have said no to this offer, she admitted to it already we should never second guess ourselves, sometimes the obvious choices are not the correct choices…slow down America.

And I don’t know anyone who plays soccer. That means they must all be communists.

Be that as it may, I figured that Moms for Ohio — of all people — would be enthusiastically supporting the ultra-conservative “hockey mom.” Frankly, that “PTA moms” thing is their whole schtick and they are unquestionably a conservative Republican PAC, so why no comment at all on Palin? She should be their paragon, their ideal, their new mascot.

You have to admit, she’s a better example of the type than MFO’s own cdesign proponentsist on the state board of education, Colleen Grady.

I know MFO has gotten a whole lot quieter since their patron Betty Montgomery has been out of office, but I just don’t see how they could let Palin’s nomination go by without some comment.
