J Rowsey – thanks for reading still. What is the “its” you’re referring to?

Free – thanks – as I note above, these links represent what I’ve read or what has been sent to me. I’m not going out there and looking – still have 150 tabs open on a lot of other issues – but life gets in the way sometimes.

Thanks for commenting.

Hi Daniel – thanks for the comment.

You wrote: “Clearly you are preaching to the choir, as the arguments you present would not be persuasive to those on the fence, as you only point out Palin shortcomings without side-by-side comparisons with Obama and Biden, which would reveal shortcomings of their own. Fence-sitters are definitely more persuaded by side-by-side comparisons.”

I’m not preaching – I made no editorial comments at all on these posts. If you’ve got some links you think would work well here, feel free to post them. These are representative of what I’ve read through my browsing or links sent to me and so on. The only conservative-leaning stuff I read tends to be Ohio blog stuff – I don’t read big box blogs in general anywhere on the spectrum.

And no one reads blogs anyway, less and less.

I agree with Daniel Jack Williamson. I think its preaching to the choir or pushing people toward McCain/Palin.

There is so much unknown and un-reported (outside Alaska) about Palin. Even here, most of the media shield her. They tried to primp her recent “homecoming” by cropping photos to make the crowd look more crushing and full than it was. Ed Schultz came to do a town hall & people who attended were disappointed that there weren’t more Palin supporters to debate with. This stuff doesn’t make CNN or Drudge. The big media networks aren’t reporting on Palin’s disregard of indigenous Alaskans (and Black folk). Her disregard to minorities is not (I don’t believe) so much purposeful as it is out of ignorance, apathy and upbringing. Glad you are shining a light on the issues.

Oh really, rawdawgbuffalo? Is that all Obama has to do? I hope Obama thinks just like you. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin is appealing to common folk, showing that Obama and Biden aren’t common folk, either.

Jill, I’ll take the Palin record on earmarks and the McCain record on earmarks over the Obama and Biden records on earmarks any day. Clearly you are preaching to the choir, as the arguments you present would not be persuasive to those on the fence, as you only point out Palin shortcomings without side-by-side comparisons with Obama and Biden, which would reveal shortcomings of their own. Fence-sitters are definitely more persuaded by side-by-side comparisons.

Its not rocket science, all Obama has to do is show how Mccain is not the Common man, especially if he can connect his historical economic views to the failing housing market. Palin and waffles and lipstick is a distraction because McCain has little substance
