Palin’s First Amendment

Soundbite Sarah is out with another gem today talking about how the press is violating her First Amendment right to free speech.  Palin was interviewed by conservative radio talk show host Chris Plante, and the show aired Friday morning in that elitist capital of the world, Washington, DC.

Obama: White Voters Didn’t Get the Memo

Obama was on The Daily Show Wednesday night, and as usual, he rocked the house and boosted ratings for the show to its highest ever.  But my absolute favorite part of the night was when Obama talked about race.  Obama said that white folks have not gotten the memo…

More after the flip, if you dare…

The Albatross of His Own Choosing

Senator John McCain’s vice presidential pick is looking like a bigger mistake day by day.

Rasmussen reports this morning:

Obama 51

McCain 47

McCain’s number in the Rasmussen poll has gone from 47-46-47 on three successive days. The phenomenon well might be an artifact of rounding with a fraction of a point explaining the fluctuation across the three days.  Rasmussen observes:

McCain has been solidifying support, (but) Obama has not lost ground.  This is the 36th straight day that Obama’s support has been between 50% and 52%.

Thursday Open Thread (Updated)

Anything on your mind?
