The Jr senator Obama keep touting that John McCain voted with Bush like 90% of the time. Well him with all his change voted with the democrats around 97% the little voting he did. Hmmm who really can say they are for change?

1. Steps on the story of Obama’s speech (and convention), and possibly the bounce coming from them, and wipes them off the news cycle. The Sunday news shows will be all-Palin, all of the time.
2. Sends Republicans into their convention on a huge head of steam.
3. Wipes out the image of McCain as the crotchety elder and brings back that of the fly-boy and gambler, which is much more appealing, and the genuine person.
4. Revs up the base AND excites independents, which no one else in the party, or perhaps in the world, could have accomplished.
5. Puts youth, change, and history on both of the tickets.
6. May detach some young people, especially women.
7. May attach some women pissed off about Hillary.
8. As a pro-life super-achiever, puts feminists in a tizzy.
9. Revives some of the double-edged nature of the Democratic primary, which featured a black vs. a female trail-blazer, and put both sides on notice on sensitivity issues. Democrats used to raising charges of racism against Obama’s critics may face charges of sexism and/or condescension if they try to diss her.
10. Steps on Obama’s claims to have been a reformer, as he reformed nothing (much less the corrupt mare’s nest of Chicago arrangements), while she was a dragon-slayer up in Alaska.
11. As a mother of five, one a Down Syndrome baby, helps her side take on the Democrats on abortion extremism and the Born Alive bill.
12. Reignites the deep and unhealed stresses inside the Democrats, some of whom will now wonder
more loudly than ever why they didn ‘t pick Hillary.
13. Counters Michelle in a way Cindy couldn’t.
14. Counter-intuitively, makes the issue of Obama’s light resume more potent than ever. Her lack of experience is no more than his is. And he’s–to use a term from Alaska, and the Iditarod–their lead dog.

Congress has re elections every two years. In 2006, as president Bush stated, the Republicans took a whooping! When this happened we all asked why? And the misguided answer to this was the country wanted a change and basically anyone with an R behind their name was treated as though they had the plague. As stated “the country has spoken”! Well I say this see what your “change” has gotten you? We have record gas prices, the economy is in a slump, and Nancy Pelosi has said no to drilling to help with the prices at the pump. Is this the change you were looking for?
What I find very interesting is what all the pundits are saying. They say that the Republicans can’t take back the house. I ask, why not? Americans speak volumes every day. Polling numbers show that congress approval rating is 19% and has been stable with this horrible rating for several months. Why then is it so hopeless that American will not boot the Democrats out of office? In 2006 did we really think that the Republicans would lose the majority? Why then can the Republicans not take it back? Do the pundits think that America is so stupid that they won’t vote for who is looking at their interests. The Democrats have proven, by not voting, that they don’t care about our pocket books, and they are lead by the speaker Nancy Pelosi who is not afraid to state she does not want to drill and does not feel it will lower gas prices. Well America again speaks volumes 70% of America feels we need to drill domestically. What does that say? Come on America, Wake Up! Back up your views and get the Democrats out of Congress, let’s not give up hope.

Folks wondering about the McCain campaign commitment to Wisconsin had reason to feel better - much better - after a good meeting in Milwaukee Thursday afternoon.
Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan was in town at McCain HQ (formerly Walker HQ on 84th) with key senior McCain and RNC staff to meet with almost 50 county chairs and activists. Duncan gave the overflow crowd an overview of the national campaign and made a strong commitment to winning Wisconsin. Staff present laid out the Victory campaign for the Badger state; County Executive Scott Walker was on hand to give some additional punch to the effort.
Duncan and staff answered several questions - sometimes pretty direct - from the crowd. Afterwards he spent time speaking one-on-one with everyone who wanted time with him, the first time I recall we’ve had that kind of direct access to the national chairman. He’s a grassroots believer, without question.
Kudos to state GOP chairman Reince Priebus and staff who pulled this together. It was a positive event with good information; overwhelmingly participants who did have concerns knew they’d been heard. The message from the RNC chairman was loud and clear: Wisconsin is indeed a target state, and they’re going to fight with everything they’ve got, plus some, to win here for the first time since 1984.
Let the battle be joined. Obama’s free ride in Wisconsin is officially over.
