Obama, McCain win big...start targeting each other

Here is a link to some shots McCain and Obama took at each other in what is looking more and more like the matchup in the fall.

NW Republican: Ronald Reagan was more than an actor

This is a GREAT post in NW Republican: NW Republican: Ronald Reagan was more than an actor He is basically making the point that I've made...that while I agree with Christine O'Donnell on points of policy, she was a terrible candidate. We mock Joe Biden for being prone to gaffes, but she was almost as prone to it as he is. We mocked Barack Obama for being unqualified to be President, but what are her qualifications? What has she actually done ? We need to get to a point where someone needs to actually be a good candidate with significant life achievements, not just have the right views and look good on TV. The ones who fit that bill in the last election (Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rob Portman are examples) won.
