I'm going to say yes - that is a hell of a stretch. Now, the day after Arnold was elected President...that would be a different story. :p

Yeah . . . the whole citizenship requirement for a President sort of makes that a stupid thing for me to post doesn't it? :)

I should have said "son of an immigrant".

The Republican party is in a tug of war... with itself. I heard on the radio this a.m. that people within the campaign are telling Fox News that Palin did them in and they are very critical of her. Apparently, someone within the campaign told Fox that Palin did not know that Africa is a continent or who the members of NAFTA are.

At the same time, the Palin wing of the party, as it were, is criticizing McCain for being too bland and not right enough. They wanted an even harsher campaign against Obama and basically are saying, see, we should have nominated Huckabee all along.

This is a very interesting situation. It would seem on the one hand that the fiscal conservatives (but socially moderate or even liberal) are trying to hang on to their slim margin of power within the party whereas the hard right is fighting to take it back over, make traditionally right wing values the focus, such as abortion, gay rights, etc. I'd say this is basically the Rove wing versus the Palin wing, that's what I'd call it.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. The Rove wing has the power (that's left) in Washington. But the Palin wing has the momentum and the benefit of being able to criticize from the outside.

Democrats did the same thing after the Contract With America. Seems to be a rite of passage for whatever new image the losing party wants to rely on next time out.

The GOP's sending officals up to AK to retrieve the 150k of clothing the Walmart Woman bought for herself and the family.

Believing Africa to be a country is seriously something you'd expect from a stripper or pornstar on Howard Stern, not a VP candidate.

She's a beauty queen. What did you really expect?

"I personally believe that, U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some… people out there in our nation that don’t have maps, and I believe that our education, like such, as in South Africa and Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should… our education over here in the U.S., should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future.., for our…"

And Obama was a community activist.

Look I understand she is by no means the most articulate person out there, you should give her some credit. You don't get approval ratings for your job like hers by being a complete moron.

She is very articulate, that's not the problem. Having no freakin' clue what she's talking about, that's the problem.

Biden forgot more in the last hour about foreign policy than she knows about the world in toto.

I assume you meant total.

I will agree. I still think people are under estimating her though. This whole thing kind of fell in her lap. If she does decide to give it another try look for her to be much improved on the appropriate subjects.

I think McCain could have done better, but like so many other things in his campaign he seemed to get away from the things that would benefit him most.

I know exactly what you mean, KB....I will never understand why I didn't get a call to fill a key advisory role for the McCain campaign..some things are just unexplainable, I guess.

is that due to the brain damage he's suffered as a result of two aneurysms or is it alcohol induced? My guess is that ol' Jostlin' Joe has forgotten many things in the last hour.
