Yesterday I wrote about the selection of Biden by Obama. One of the things I wrote about that between the internal contradictions of the Obama-Biden ticket, the capability of Biden to open his mouth and insert his foot, the ‘safe’

There are lots of places, including other posts on this blog, that will talk about the Biden choice for VP. I will only add three things to consider.

I said last night that Obama was revealing himself as an anti-private -property, anti-capitalist socialist. From that thought, a couple of fantasy scenarios occur to my mind to help ilustrate this::

* What would have happened, had Obama been asked

So now, we see Barack Obama trying to make something out of the number of houses McCain does or does not own, and because he didn’t know the exact answer…(Seven, by the way, including investment property) this is supposed to

The experts are now starting to wonder if the tide isn’t shifting toward McCain:

McCain himself disowned the Swift Boat nutters in 2004 as “dishonest and dishonorable.” I find both attempts to smear the war records of people who

Apparently, the time has come, by the lights of Saint Andrew the Incontinent, to swift boat John McCain.  Now, you will recall, I’m no major fan of John McCain. At the same time, this stuff, as pointed up by Tom

Dan Riehl:

Via NewsBusters today it’s Andrea Mitchell hinting that Senator John McCain may have “cheated” at the Saddleback Civil Forum.

MS. ANDREA MITCHELL: Oh, absolutely. And, you know, there was the crisp, immediate, forceful response by John McCain, clearly

Through the end of July this year, unions have contributed over $40 million to PACs for federal candidates (91% to democrats) and over $34 million to 527s (and guess which party will benefit from that money). But that is just

Russia invaded Georgia. John McCain was prompt to recognize the Russian aggression and to condemn it. Meanwhile BO seems unable to distinguish between being invaded and be the invader. I doubt BO even knows where Georgia is. View the video:

This onestarted my morning: McCain suggesting that Paris Hilton was deeper on the subject of Energy than is Barack Obama. Know what? He’s right.  One might even say that Barack Obama totally lacks Gravitas.
