McCain - Where he goes from here

Well, as a Romney supporter I'm in mourning. I'll vote for McCain, but I'll have a hard time working for him. It's just hard to get excited about knocking on doors and working the phones for someone you feel despises the ideological core of your party.



I'm hoping I'm wrong. I really do hope he is elected, because I agree with Hugh Hewitt about his "seven good reasons" to support McCain.

Where he needs to go from here:
  • A little humility would be a good thing. It's been a bitter campaign, and a little healing is necessary. If he dances on graves, Romney supporters will desert him, and he'll lose in the fall.
  • Who he picks as VP will matter. Good would be someone younger, with domestic experience, and someone who looks like they could be a President.
  • He needs to find a way to address the bad feelings people have towards him. The truth is, he's done some things to inflame the anger. He needs to own up to that and accept responsibility.

Bill Clinton: 'Screw It, I'm Running For President'

This is a hilarious article from "The Onion"...and, as with all satire, has a sprinkle of truth...here is a snippet: Although some have pointed out that it is unconstitutional for Clinton to run for a third term in office, he has silenced most critics by urging voters "not to worry about the Constitution for now" and assuring them he will address those legal issues immediately after regaining control of the White House. "All I am asking of the American people is four more years," Clinton said at a fundraiser Tuesday where tens of thousands of South Carolinians gathered to stare in gape-jawed wonderment at the former president. "Well, maybe eight. Actually, you know what, definitely eight. Eight more years."

Michael Steele delivers GOP weekly address

Here is Michael Steele delivering the weekly Republican address: Transcript: This is Michael Steele, Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Democrats have controlled both branches of government for less than a month. And you have to wonder if all that power has gone to their heads. For the last two weeks, they've been trying to force a massive spending bill through Congress under the guise of economic relief. All of us - Republicans and Democrats - agree the government must act to kick-start the American economy. American families are doing their best to balance their own budgets and pay their mortgages. The fastest way to help those families is by letting them keep more of the money they earn. Individual empowerment: that's how you stimulate the economy. But the Democrats have a different philosophy. Instead of leaving money in the family checkbook, they want to send it to Washington, run it through a slow and inefficient government, and hope that does some good. Wh...

GOP Ticket should be Romney-McCain (or McCain-Romney)

Yes, yes, I know they hate each other's guts. But this is politics . It's not unheard of for two people who aren't best friends to form alliances. And think of it: No one is stronger on the economy than Romney. He speaks with knowledge and experience...and he's actually done it in the real world, met payroll, created jobs. He would be a great asset to the ticket on the economy. And the economy is sure to be a hot topic. Conversely, no one is stronger on the war in Iraq than McCain. His foresight on the surge when no one was supporting it gives him tremendous leverage. And his personal narrative makes him a very, very powerful opponent. Romney is strong with the conservative base - if McCain picked Romney as a running mate, it just might help him heal some wounds with the very important conservative activists he would need to win in November. McCain has tremendous crossover appeal - more than any candidate in either party. Romney would need some of those Democrat...
