#1 Wife is watching O'Bama, he's mindless, he just said "Hydrogen is a limited resource, there aren't that many dams and rivers.

#2 And remember, Palin;s speech got 40 million - more thanthe Messiah, and on far less channels (6 vs 10).

#3 Candidate McCain was right to aim his speech to the undecideds across the country, rather than to the partisans on the convention floor. He started the final stage of the campaign while his opponent is still figuring out how to handle is pick for vice president. Win or lose, Candidate Obama is finally having the growth experience he has needed for a very long time.

#4 As disgusted as I was initially by the MSM's grotesque witch hunt, things did turn out swimmingly.
Just a lucky "perfect storm" for the GOP, or a special ops, "watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" calculated battle trap plan by Team McCain?
I don't think they are that crafty, but I'd hate to think the rollout Saracuda was a stroke of luck.
Genius plan or lucky day?
What say you?

#5 If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
- Sun Tzu

I doubt they studied Sun Tzu in the Ivy or J Schools.

#6 Just a lucky "perfect storm" for the GOP, or a special ops, "watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" calculated battle trap plan by Team McCain?

The latter. Beginning with the Saddleback Forum and running through Palin being named last Friday the McCain campaign has been as sharp as any I've ever seen.

Don't confuse the heretofore unknown with the unplanned. Palin's selection and her subsequent impact is as much an accident as the bombing of Hiroshima. Here's hoping her impact is similarly significant.
