#1 Good article, it'd be nice to provide attribution; Didn't our master, Darth Rove write this?

Give him credit, or suffer his wrath!

#2 Don't get your knickers in a twist. Most Rantburgers will click the link and will see who it's written by.

#3 Rove's authorship probably means the Dems suspect some sinister plan in his advice. This, I'm sure, amuses him.

#4 If they ignore the comments because of the source, it's better yet.

#5 Darth Rove? Bah, everyone knows who really swings that particular light saber:

And didn't we learn the other day that he'd been assigned to mentor Palin on international affairs? Biden's likely in bigger trouble than he knows.

#6 Biden AND Palin? OMG.

ANd despite the title fo the article, yes Obama can still win.

Never underestimate the stupidity and cattle-like capabilities of the left. They can be driven by ferar and may cause others to join the stampede when the MSM ups the volume.

Another thing ot remember - the Obama vote is counging on "I feel" rather than "I think" voters, and there sure are a lot of them that can be bamboozled by Obama and the fear-mongering negative campaign he has gone to - and they are too stupid to genuinely scrutinize the actual sparse and poor record of Obama.

So no, don't bet on it, but keep worling ike hell to make it happen.

#7 Palin and Bolton vs Obama and Biden? Wow! Two marshmellows fighting for justice and freedom against a couple of wienies defending same old class/racial strife. Gimme a ringside seat. Doesn't get any better.

#8 I think I've figured out What Palin contributes to McCain's campaign, and I run this by Rantburgers for comment.

It's classical WWII fighter pilot tactics: the Thatch Weave. Palin and McCain are the wingmen, with Palin the bait and McCain the hook.

#9 Fascinating concept, Ptah. Is John McCain smiling again?

#10 There really ARE two Americas. The one people live in and the media bubble one. Democrats interact with the media bubble and think they are doing well.

That is why they have so many problems with the "absurd" Sarah.
That is why they have "blown" so many elections that they, by all rights, should have won.
There is no free lunch, and the media bubble of the Democrats hurt them far more help.

#11 Bolton is advising Palin on foreign Policy?

Darth Bolton now has an apprentice! Cool!

I think the VP debates are going to be a bloodbath - especially when Biden gets all condescending.

#12 Democrats interact with the media bubble and think they are doing well.

That's the problem with monopolies. They stagnate. They lack innovation created by real competition. So when a real alternative arrives [not just some new cosmetic fins on the tail], they're unprepared. Warning. The first instinct of any monopoly so threatened is not to alter behavior and become a competitor but to garner and employ force to keep the innovators out. This usually involves political muscle with 'regulations and laws' which serve no other purpose than to continue the monopoly. Monopolies resist altering behavior to adapt to new environments. Bail outs for the bank, bail outs for the Big Three, lead logically to bail outs for the MSM by their fellow travelers.

#13 While the election is still winnable for Bambi, I think he will continue the old liberal playbook. Attack and smear. This will continue to piss off people and I think we can (and hope) see the dhimocrats taken to the woodshed this year.
