#1 "Wal-Mart moms" -- white, working, non-college educated women ..."

And here is the problem. They don't understand that everyone except the effete, elite, sophisticates with lots of money shops at Walmart sometimes.

Everyone I know (all college educated and middle or upper-middle class) shops there at one time or another. Oh BTW we're speaking of a suburb in bright blue MA 30 mi. from Boston. In speaking as they do the media are pretty much insulting everyone. Not good for your business or your Boyomba.

#3 Though not much a fan of Mccain's policies I've definitely grown to respect his tactics....choosing Palin has driven the dems nuts - it was ballsy (npi), out of the box thinking and pulls in some hillary voters along w/the conservative base. In contrast, Obama's choice of Biden has given him nothing, really. The man of hope & change chooses a careerist senator - hypocritical and at the same time kinda boring.

All the focus and pressure is still on obomba while Palin is helping McCain look more like a maverick. She's taking the brunt of attacks which are making the dems look petty & mean spirited while Mccain is free to campaign & sell his message - brilliant. In contrast obama is still getting the same heat, biden was an ineffective choice as a wingman imho. Should've went w/richardson.

#5 So, that would be two machine politicians on the ticket then. Richardson might have more exposure on beyond the state lines, but its a machine back home just like Chicago, abet without the amount of juice that is commensurate with the city by the lakes. Then, again, the cost of living is significantly lower in the Land of Enchantment. Two previous state Treasurers [name that party] are serving federal time for corruption. That's just the tip of the iceberg of patronage and corruption at is endemic to the local political culture.

#6 Good point A2U.

That's who I expected him to tap. Don't know if it was bimbos but his vet turned up heart worm or something.

#7 It's no-win to attack Palin because many people identify with her and want her to do well. Even if they succeed in tearing her down many will be upset at Obama.

Note the lingering bitterness of the Hillary crowd.

#8 She was ridiculed, for example, for not having a passport before visiting US troops in the Gulf last year.

I'd bet a month of pension she bloody well wasn't "ridiculed" by men of the ranks.

#9 That animal in the picture looks really beat up. If the donks look like that after election night, I just might feel a tad sorry for them.

I might.

And only just a tad sorry.
