el rushbo on gov. palin
rush limbaugh took a call from a palin for vp supporter on his show yesterday.
quote of the day
When the phone rings at 3 am at the White House, do you want it answered by someone who doesn’t know what the term “war” actually means? Or would you prefer to have it answered by someone who actually knows something about both the military and foreign policy?

st. obama and the terrorists
i meant to link to this in an earlier post, but i wasn't able to find it at the new york post, where it was syndicated.
getting cosy with left-wing, unapologetic left-wing domestic terrorists who have bombed the pentagon may help in the democrat primary, but it won't play very well in november.

takeaway quote:
What fascinates me is how light the baggage is when one travels from violent radicalism to liberalism. Chicago activist Sam Ackerman told Politico’s reporter that Ayers “is one of my heroes in life.” Cass Sunstein, a first-rank liberal intellectual, said, “I feel very uncomfortable with their past, but neither of them is thought of as horrible types now — so far as most of us know, they are legitimate members of the community.”
americans have officially ran out of things to worry about
the washington post finds enough people upset about a white man playing barack obama on "saturday night live" to justify writing an article about it.

don't count pawlenty off yet
bob novak says that gov. tim pawlenty, a leading contender to be sen. john mccain's vice presidential pick, has been rubbing some other republican governor's the wrong way:
hotair.com linked to this article in their headlines section, titling the link "Pawlenty torpedoes his VP prospects?"
i don't think this is true. i think that gov. pawlenty is conservative enough in areas where mccain himself is not, and this proves that he, too, is a "maverick". it would do what mccain likes to do best (anger some of the gop) while shoring up new support at the same time. therefore i think it makes it more likely that mccain will chose him.
Pawlenty's position as chairman of the National Governors Association (NGA) may prove his undoing. While party insiders sing his praises as ideal to be McCain's running mate, leading conservative Republican governors have been less than pleased with him. Pawlenty has collaborated with the NGA vice chairman, Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, in a fat economic stimulus package, as well as the energy proposal.

mccain reads my blog?
this morning i posted a story about how the dnc and obama would likely go after mccain's age, both in subtle and not so subtle ways. the irony being that while obama is young, his ideas are boring, old, and ordinary.
well, this morning mccain said the following (speaking of democrat opposition to the initial 2003 invasion):
well, this morning mccain said the following (speaking of democrat opposition to the initial 2003 invasion):
"That's history, that's the past," McCain told attendees at a town hall meeting at Rice University. "That's talking about what happened before. What we should be talking about is what we're going to do now. And what we're going to do now is continue this strategy which is succeeding in Iraq and we are carrying out the goals of the surge, the Iraqi military are taking over more and more of the responsibilities."

two "foreigners" running in '08?
the new york times rolled out yet another hit piece on sen. john mccain today, this one raising questions about his eligibility for the office. you see, mccain's father was a navy serviceman, and he and his wife were living in the panama canal zone during sen. mccain's birth. u.s. presidents, according to the constitution, must be natural born citizens.
if only they had done a simple google search before writing this article, they would have found out that he is, indeed, a natural-born u.s. citizen.
but is this an issue the obama campaign or the nyt should ever bring up, given some questionable things in his past that could disqualify him as well?
come on, nyt...you can shill for barack better than these two articles...
UPDATE: here are a couple more sources that debunk the "mccain is not a natural born citizen" meme.

st. obama and the race card
the new republic has an article chronicling how the obama campaign has played the race card to their advantage in the democrat primary.
take it with a grain of salt, it is the new republic after all.

don't fear the obamessiah
RedState.com has a ten reasons why republican's shouldn't be so fearful of an obama candidacy in november. and even if obama does win:
If Obama is elected, his presidency may ultimately resemble Jimmy Carter’s: a candidate who convinced voters that he was nice and good, and then discovered that these good intentions just weren’t enough to actually run the country for four years.
The basic rule of branding still holds here: once you get the candidate out of the box, regardless of how good the branding is, it still has to work.
“There are so many things we need to do in our state."
the new york times has a story up on republican bobby jindal's first few weeks as governor of louisiana:
i am growing more convinced that (if they don't run themselves) any republican presidential nominee in 2012 would be a fool not to have gov. bobby jindal or gov. sarah palin at the bottom of the ticket. both are competent, extremely intelligent, reagan conservatives who could bring in new voters and ruin the democrat message that the gop is racist and sexist.
at this point i am more excited about 2012 than 2008.
Mr. Jindal said Hurricanes Katrina and Rita had presented him with a unique moment in his state’s history to enact reforms; as he put it, the storms “caused people to rethink how they wanted their social institutions to be designed, how they wanted services to be delivered, what kind of state they wanted to call home.”

wfb prediction time
the obvious prediction is that liberals will gloat at the death of william f. buckley. jonah goldberg goes a step further:
In the next few days, there will be a wave of liberals...who will use WFB's memory to beat up on today's conservatives...Liberals today bemoan how wonderful the conservatives of yesteryear were solely to lament how terrible they are today. The recent bout of Goldwater nostalgia on the left was a perfect example. The strange new respect liberals have for Ronald Reagan would be another. And you can be sure they will use Buckley to that effect too.

old people are just plain useless at pretty much anything. vote young in '08!:
i also think we will hear a great deal about republicans having the same old ideas in this election. this will, of course, conveniently leave out the fact that his ideas are just the same old stuff people read in the communist manifesto in 1848.
as much as i sometimes dislike john mccain, st. barack the messiah will look like an empty suit when on the stage next to him.
The Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former Governor of Vermont contrasted the two parties’ presidential candidates, saying that with a woman and an African-American as the two front-runners, the Democratic field “looks like America,” while the all-white male Republican field “looks like the 1950s and talks like the 1850s.”

anti-war: what is it good for?
our precious left-wing american musicians are all contributing to the soundtrack of an anti-war documentary called "body of war", about an Iraq War veteran who gets paralyzed in the battlefield and is now against the war.
that's fine, but here is what i find really troublesome:
so, basically, the idea is to use a paralyzed veteran as a front to raise money for an anti-war group.
i've got an idea. if you're really concerned about paralyzed veterans in america, how about having all proceeds go to the disabled american veterans charitable service trust or to army emergency relief?
that's fine, but here is what i find really troublesome:
The 30-song, two-disc album "Body of War: Songs That Inspired an Iraq War Veteran" will be released March 18 via Warner Music's Sire Records label. All proceeds from the sale of the album will benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War

rep. shadegg changes his mind
rep. john shadegg (r-az) had planned to retire and not run for re-election in 2008.
it seems that he has now changed his mind and will continue fighting the good fight in the house of representatives:
good for him. although if sen. mccain retires his seat, sen. shadegg does have a good ring to it.
it seems that he has now changed his mind and will continue fighting the good fight in the house of representatives:
I had consulted with my family and reached the decision that I would fight for freedom from somewhere else. And there has been a reaction to that decision. The overwhelming reaction has been that people would like me to keep up the fight for freedom inside the U.S. House.
I am overwhelmed and humbled by the reaction of my colleagues. When the conservative movement asks you to stick around, that's a pretty tough request to turn down.

st. barack of kleenex
this has to be one of the most ridiculous things i have heard in the political realm:
how can mccain compete with that? maybe he could cough something up?
i think the cult of paul has been replaced by the cult of obama.
And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. "Gotta blow my nose here for a second," Obama said.
Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose.
The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause.

i believe that sen. obama will get the democratic nomination and choose gov. kathleen sebelius (d-kansas) as his running mate.
why?
1) she's a woman (who is not named "hillary clinton"). identity politics are the most important thing to the democratic party.
2) she's a governor. she will have the executive experience that barack severely lacks.
3) she got elected and re-elected in a red state. what a great way to create the media span that the democrat ticket this year is "above politics" and "post-partisan"...without the necessity of choosing a defected republican, like sen. chuck hagel.
4) she's older than him. just as mccain needs a younger republican at the bottom of the ticket, barack needs someone older.
5) she's a woman.

well, looks like i'll have plenty of free time on november 4, 2008
sen. john mccain (r-maverick) is said to be looking for another centrist/liberal for the vice presidential slot on his ticket:
great. on to 2012, i guess.
McCain's best strategy, many of his supporters argue, is to find someone as broadly acceptable as he is to independents and moderates in both parties.
Together, they can offer sober solutions to serious problems like a bankrupted Social Security, the war on terror and wild federal spending without playing the politics of polarization.

gov. ed rendell (d-embarrassment)
lynn swann must be shaking his head right now. just three days after saying that voters in pennsylvania would probably be too racist to vote for sen. obama, gov. rendell (a clinton supporter), steps in it again:
so now he has called his constituents both racist and sexist.
well played, gov. rendell, well played.
"Senator Clinton has the same handicap," said Rendell, who has endorsed the former first lady. "There are some men who have said, 'Look I have nothing against Senator Clinton but I don't want to see a woman ... in charge of the United States military as commander in chief.'"
"We're talking about a very small percentage of voters, but some of these primaries are decided by a very small percentage of voters," he said.
so now he has called his constituents both racist and sexist.
well played, gov. rendell, well played.

here is his official statement, delivered in a speech at CPAC:
romney was a classy guy. i hope he remains a voice in the party.
"I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror.
"This is not an easy decision for me. I hate to lose. My family, my friends and our supporters – many of you right here in this room – have given a great deal to get me where I have a shot at becoming President. If this were only about me, I would go on. But I entered this race because I love America, and because I love America, I feel I must now stand aside, for our party and for our country.

mccain's first message to conservatives
is for us to "calm down":
the senator sure does know how to build a bridge.
Republican John McCain, buoyed by Super Tuesday wins that pushed him closer to the nomination, told his conservative critics Wednesday to dial back the animosity and focus on issues where they agree.
"I do hope that at some point we would just calm down a little bit and see if there's areas we can agree on," McCain said at a news conference in a Phoenix airport hangar.

the one-way street of bipartisanship
allahpundit at hotair.com has an interesting question for mccain supporters:
i can't think of a single time, either.
McCain’s supporters make much of the fact that he has a record of reaching across the aisle and working with Democrats. But in every case, he’s reaching across the aisle to do what the Democrats want. Where’s the evidence that McCain has ever reached across the aisle and plucked off a few Democrat votes for a conservative issue or cause? I can’t think of a single case, so I’ll put it to the McCain supporters in the HA readership: Name an issue where McCain reached across the aisle and ended up benefiting conservative issues, ideals or causes.

a possible mccain backlash?
music to my ears, if true. michelle malkin is all over it.
i never thought i would be supporting mitt, but i think the gop now realizes he's the only one who can stop mccain.
if any huckabee supporters are reading this: a vote for huckabee is a vote for mccain.
there's no other way around it.

people still watch that?
"24" decides the best way to up ratings is to gallop to the left:
yeah. people want to see jack bauer being a rare, non-rapist UN peacekeeper. how about just making the show good again?
Come spring, the show's writers and their Fox bosses began having informal telephone conversations about how to recover for next season. By the May 21 season finale, the audience had dropped to just over 11 million. Fox gave the writers carte blanche to "reimagine" the show. One of the team's chief considerations was how to address the controversy surrounding Jack's use of torture. Should Jack be feeling the guilt the media would have him feel?
On May 31, the show's head writers went in for a meeting at the studio to present their first big idea: sending Jack to Africa. In various incarnations, Jack would begin the season digging ditches, building houses, tending to orphans, providing security for an embassy or escorting around a visiting dignitary. "One of the themes we discussed was penance, that Africa was a place Jack had gone to seek some kind of penance. Some sanctuary too, but also penance for things he's done in his life," Mr. Gordon says.

not too surprising
will huck's followers vote democrat in november? hmmmm:
seeing as how huckabee is basically a pro-life democrat anyway, it seems like a natural fit.
Even assuming he loses the nomination, Huckabee's appeal demonstrates what journalists and commentators have been saying for the past year: the views in the pews are changing. Republicans can no longer take Evangelicals for granted simply by beating up the old piñatas of abortion and gay marriage. While a full-scale exodus from the GOP is unlikely, more "Bible-believing" Christians are likely to consider voting for a Democratic candidate this November than in any election since Evangelicals helped to put Jimmy Carter in the White House.

just another reason to choose romney
pres. bush refuses to lend aid to gov. mitt romney's campaign because of the governor's hard-line stance on immigration:
that should win romney some conservative street cred.
Bush is upset that Romney changed his position on the issue, compared to what it had been when he was governor of Massachusetts, at the expense of the president's immigration reform. Bush and Sen. John McCain are not close, but the president is grateful for McCain's support on Iraq and immigration.
that should win romney some conservative street cred.

obama gets coveted endorsements...
from moveon.org and a group of lawyers representing gitmo terrorists.
i know that when i think of a politician being "beyond partisanship", i think of the candidate endorsed by these groups.
