		<description>that we will not at least be driven crazy by McCain&#039;s antics!  I was really very upset by Obama&#039;s election, but I wonder (?) is this something good that may be cloaked in bad?</description>

		<description>Oh, and I&#039;m suppose to add more after the title?  Because I&#039;m not so sure I have the stomach for it!

He started disgusting with all the hoopla he started with Kennedy regarding immigration,  he just made me roll my eyes before that, now I actually makes me throw up in my mouth.

Seriously, can we PLEASE get back to what we were already?????</description>

		<description>Dont believe ive harped at all about Palins interview...I may be mistaken. In fact I have a diary &#039;On Palin&#039; where I thought my pro Palin position shined.

Now Ive harped consistently against Tim Geitner, who doesnt look nearly as good in a dress as Palin, although he comes off as stupid to me as Palin is made to appear by her detractors. 

Then again, I dont go to an Ivy so Im just not bright enough to understand why we should celebrate and reward incompitance. 

He. Alberta is the name of my awesome home province. Yes, in retrospect, a girly name, I admit.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t know why, but most of them had to do with Mr. Rational, who wasn&#039;t, so don&#039;t know if there was a purpose in getting rid of them or if it was just a fluke.

Will look forward to trading comments again on another diary.</description>

		<description>to one of your postings about Sarah Palin, and I think you responded, but I can&#039;t find anything now.  Not sure what happened, but just didn&#039;t want you to think I was ignoring you.</description>

		<description>Please accept my heartfelt apologies...

I still don&#039;t see that interview as the problem many would make it... I can say definitively that I attributed someone Else&#039;s comments to you!</description>

		<description>I just don&#039;t think it would have been as effective. The guy would have added serious weight to the ticket in practically &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.redstate.com/martin_a_knight/2008/11/28/the-republican-ticket-that-could-have-won/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;every possible way,&lt;/a&gt; and a concerted attack on him would have carried a very heavy risk of backfiring very badly on Obama and Senate Democrats.

As for attacking Romney&#039;s faith, that would have been a big mistake - because Obama has quite a few problems when it comes to religious questions. Because, unlike &quot;Bipartisan&quot; McCain, I really don&#039;t think Romney would have made Rev. Wright a verboten issue in any event, much less when Obama&#039;s people themselves bring it up in attacking him.</description>

		<description>Unfortunately, you won&#039;t find much support for changing it among the Rockefeller crowd.  Without line-crossing lefties, the Reps on the single-legged stools may actually have to admit that Conservatives outnumber them.</description>

		<description>And Demon-cats crossing over to screw with the system (a la &quot;Operation Chaos&quot;?)

By the time our primary rolled around, Fred had already dropped out. I didn&#039;t even get a chance to vote for him. I had to settle for Romney.</description>

I think Mitt and General Peter Pace Vs &quot;The One&quot; would have made an interesting race, but I think we agree the outcome would have been the same. The attacks on General Pace by the hard Left/gay lobby would have been  ugly as  the anti LDS stuff that would have been aimed at Mitt by the Left though. 

I do think it would have been interesting to see Mitt in the same MSM attack environment we saw in the election just passed and seen how Mitt would have responded, more forcefully than McCain one hopes.</description>

		<description>We were told, over and over again by McCainiacs and other Beltway chatterers that thanks to his &quot;Bipartisanship&quot; and his regular joining with Democrats to hamstring the Bush Administration, McCain was going to turn Blue states Red, that he had deep and wide support in the &quot;middle&quot;, that he would take the fight to Obama.

Instead, we saw him become the first Republican to lose Virginia in 44 years, and lose states Bush barely needed to campaign in. 

Let&#039;s be clear here; prior to Palin being brought unto the ticket, McCain&#039;s campaign coffers were running on empty and the guy could barely fill a mid-sized hotel conference room. The lady, on the other hand, effortlessly filled stadia. There&#039;s every indication that if not for her he could have lost forty states.</description>
