#1 It should be interesting to see what comes out of his campaign while he's off in Europe. I'm expecting even lower blows towards Palin, while the Messiah relaxes by the shores of Lake Geneva. He'll then issue a rebuke to those staff/surrogates who got "out of line" in their attacks (as in, any smear that might be backfiring on The One).

#2 With all due respect it looks like the storm was more or less a complete waste of time, based on some of the reports I've read.

There's no point, IMHO, in having the mainstream pols flagellate themselves over this, it isn't gonna get the power turned back on any faster down in Noo Siberia or Morgan City.

(OTOH, why a fundraiser in Switzerland? Wouldn't Nova Scotia be closer, and has that neat total eclipse too?)

#3 The sad thing is that none of this matters to the party faithful. Not Sen. Obama rubbing shoulders with dictators, not him raising funds on foreign soil, not him ignoring Gustav and the city that Pres. Bush was raked over the coals about "ignoring".

Frankly, when this mess started (i.e. before I knew anything about Sen. Obama) I was ready to vote for him just to send a message to the Republicans about putting a RINO up instead of a candidate with real conservative values. Obviously as more info came out about Sen. Obama this quickly ceased to be an option.

But how in the Hell those sheeple can vote for someone for POTUS who is endorsed by America's enemies, the Communist Party, and all the others who would tear down this great nation is beyond me. How anyone can vote for this person after it has been made CRYSTAL clear that nothing he says on any public speaking engagement has any meaning is a mystery beyond the knowledge of us mere mortals.

#4 I honestly wonder if the bugger has given up on 2008.

#5 Story's false. There is indeed a fundraiser but Obama did not go/is not going IIUC.
