GameChanger

As Barrack Hussein Obama concluded his speech at the Democratic Convention, the next day John McCain flat out checkmated Obama with the announcement of Sarah Palin as his VP nominee.
Out of nowhere into the lime light. Pro-life, evangelical, tough, NRA member, hockey mom and you know you sit there and go wow.

Now if you are saying but what about her experience? Wait. Wait. This election isn't about experience. Mr. Obama is less experienced than Clinton was when he ran.....You see John McCain's people saw the historical nature of this campaign as experience always loses to change.
{see Bob Dole for example. Still a great American statesman} so if people want change you have to give them change.
You will hear many inside the beltway be nice and say kinda things but doubting her cred. These people are the ones with a lower popularity rating than the president and they still don't get it! Isn't that amazing?

This election is about change. That is what is wanted by the American people. Think about everytime you have someone ask you what Obama has done of any national setting, they can't because they simply don't care. We want change.
Well, McCain shot across the bow of change and now it will be an interesting push to the end.
The male vote is pretty much sealed, the female vote is not and the borderline states are full of value voter moms.....See realclearpolitics to the right to see how close it is by state. Latest poll show one to three points.......no bump this time......
I will throw this right now and let's see where it goes later. The fact that Obama didn't get more of a bump from the week has got to be driving the Dems crazy. This was orchestrated and it all fell apart. I just don't want to hear all the flack when Obama loses that we weren't ready racially to accept a black president. The best part will be election night on MSNBC for Keith Olberman for he will get to cover McCain every night after he wins. It may be enough for him to change jobs again.
Speaking of coverage this past week, the glue that held MSNBC together- Tim Russert was sorely missed. The comments from Matthews (my detractors can go to hell!) and Olberman asking Scarborough to get a shovel....was lacking any level of professionalism. When Obama loses in November this will be a night to DVR the program.

But, for now this is what politics is supposed to be about issue driven and today we need change. We just don't need change that makes us a socialist country.

Have a safe and happy Labor Day and God Bless those folks on the coast.


These are my favorite commercials right now, especially the vacuum one:
