		<description>Wanna see cutesy?  Click on the link below.  Politicians kissing babies: a trick so old it&#039;s new.  But that fact seems to go over the head of the vacuous Obama acolyte at this blog.

		<description>We saw McCain &amp; Palin in Columbus last Monday, and they are the same in person as their television personalities. The excitement among voters for Palin is really incredible. People waited in line for two hours or longer, stretching around 3-4 blocks, to get in to see the rally, then stood for three hours before and during the event. (I suspect they didn&#039;t provide chairs so everyone would be &#039;on their feet&#039; for the media.)

I think the Leftmedia surveys and polls are being manipulated, if not outright manufactured, to show Hussein/Hairplugs in the lead, just to get the mindless &#039;vote for a winner&#039; crowd on their candidates&#039; side.

Firsthand experience tells me that many, many people are more excited about the GOP ticket than the MSM is willing to admit. I was a cool supporter of McCain before he picked Sara&#039;Cuda, but I am firmly in his camp now. What&#039;s not to like about the lady? She&#039;s pure class.

But she reminds me of my mother. Don&#039;t cross her, or you&#039;ll get a whipping you&#039;ll never forget.</description>

		<description>Helen is unlikely to read Blackfive.  And her reaction points up something...the sex angle.  It&#039;s weird and I&#039;m not sure of my thoughts on this, but it&#039;s something to the effect that Blackfive is a military venue.  Very male.  Liberals intensely dislike the military.  Sarah is very feminine - very female.  We&#039;ve all seen the &quot;feminist&quot; response - pretty similar to Helen&#039;s.

There&#039;s something in the liberal mindset that wants to eliminate or deny that there&#039;s any difference between the sexes.  Not particularly anything to do with _equality_ of ability, but the difference itself.  It seems to me to be related to the magnification of sexual pleasure, but at the same time, the minimization of reproduction.  Increased focus on the &quot;me&quot;, decreased focus on the &quot;us&quot; factor of sex.  

As I said...I haven&#039;t thought this out, but it just seems so odd that women should be so negative about Sarah&#039;s flirtatiousness.  It could be just simple jealousy - and comparison to Hillary who has passed the point where flirtatious is attractive - but I think it&#039;s something else.  Maybe the intellectual component?  Sex is so _physical_...&quot;we liberals are intellectual, not physical&quot;?  Denial of our physical nature?  At the same time admitting it as an itch that needs to be scratched, so let&#039;s just get it done and move on?  &quot;pure&quot; love??

I don&#039;t know.  But the reaction to Sarah is so _strong_!!  What&#039;s to account for it?</description>

		<description>I know you probably don&#039;t read Blackfive, Helen, but you should check out this podcast of Uncle Jimbo anyways where the point I raised was brought up.

These are combat leaders, Helen. Do you know what that means when they say Sarah has the goods even more than McCain?

		<description>&lt;B&gt;She’s cutesy, throwing kisses to the crowd and winking and flirting. That’s fine for the little stuff, but to represent our country we need more than a nice flirt.&lt;/b&gt;

Executive level experience is a field apart from any kind of Senate debate, committee actions, or small town grass roots organizing.

Executive level experience, leadership, is unique whether you are making decisions that alter the lives of two people in Wasilla or 500 people in a battalion or 10,000 people in a division or 5 million in a city.

On this level, neither Joe Biden, John McCain, or Obama can even compare.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Don’t despair. It’s not over ’til it’s over. &lt;/b&gt;

I remember the MSM trying to pull states for Kerry, like Ohio, before all the votes were in. Ya think they were trying to tell the Ohio voters that the election was already over, when in fact it was still neck to neck?</description>

		<description>Helen,
As Deanna said, conservatives were aware of Palin long before she was picked. In a perfect world, she would have served a term and we would be looking at her in 2012.
But in a perfect world, the Democrats would have picked Hillary and we would be looking at Barack in 2012 (assuming the country became disenchanted with Frau Clinton) and he would have had a chance to establish a record in the Senate.
Unless your saying it would have been harder to elect an experienced FEMALE senator than a MALE community organizer.</description>

		<description>Color me jealous, too. 
And Helen - if your local PTA president is capable of achieving agreement on a multi-million dollar pipeline that&#039;s been stymied for more than three decades and creating the largest construction project in US history - well, you must have a helluva school district.</description>

		<description>Hi BW,
I too am jealous. But thanks for the analysis. It&#039;s only what I would expect. 
Deana&#039;s comments about the Obama campaign&#039;s faltering after Palin appeared are spot on. Obama does not have sufficient knowledge of the landscape. Any landscape. Political, economic,international, take your pick. Said failing stands in stark contrast with the way McCain finessed his way to the nomination. That speaks of a broad  knowledge base. McCain can win. If he really starts swinging. And we can all tell him that with this week&#039;s donation to the campaign.
