Default Well, now...

And this contrasts with Obama...how, again? And I'll ask again - have
you read his "Blueprint For Change?"


most of it...why? b.o. has offered details in a public document and in
his talks...i don't see the same from your guy.

my intended point about mccain concerned his promise to change that
which has been in control of his own republican cadre for 8 years, and
his assertion palin is somehow going to be his co-architect in the
change. ... he has no "blueprint for change"...hell, he doesn't even
have a notecard for change. he's become the conventional republican with
too many promises to fullfil to be a "maverick", if he ever was
such...plus, he'll really screw up constitutional and federal law.
stevens won't last another 4 years...


The Blueprint is just a bunch - and I mean a BUNCH - of impossible
promises. For example, look at pages 6-9, his health care plan. He
promises all the things he will require and mandate and demand, just as
pols have been doing since people were dropping beans in boxes. What is
missing is how he is going to pay for it all, get every hospital,
pharmacy, doctor, and every other health care provider, from PT clinics
to the folks that sell HoverScooters at NO COST TO YOU!!! on board and
cooperating, oversee and regulate it all, etc. And that only covers a
fraction of the sum total of all his promises, with no _real_
explanations.

Here's a hint - he stands about as much a chance at it all as Bob Barr
and his running mate, his wife's cat, stand at being elected to
POTUS/Veep and Queen of England and Royal Consort on the same
day...hell, they'd have to repeal the 22nd Amendment and he'd have to
live to 849, reelected every time, to accomplish all of what the
Blueprint promises. And every elected official from Congress to the
Coonpecker, Alabama dog catcher would have to cede total and complete
authority to him, plus he'd need to be named sole authority of every
business from GE and Exxon/Mobil to little Johnny Smith's lemonade
stand, to boot. IOW, you'll be hearing Hail Britannia To The Chief,
President Queen Bob (R) and Prince Muffy before it all happens.


palin is the story so far...



Naturally, because she's the newest. She passed the first big test, but
how she handles the lead-up and the first duel with Biden will be when
the real story begins (or ends, as the case may be).


not sure it's the "newness"... but agree, i too think it's a dead heat
and will be decided by the knee-jerk vote. the only hope in nc is for a
large af-am turnout, because the bubba block is resolute.


See my reply to 'tripper the Rasmussen link and Palin passing Obama
AND McCain,
