I hope everyone in my state (WA) sees Dave Reichart standing by McCain and the voters in his district vote for Marcy Burner in November. Reichart has been a complete Bush enabler.

All good points except for Ed Rendell. He is definately OLD politics, back room politics and not part of the change message.

She uses the false recognition point and wave in every single appearance she makes at least once. It's hard to believe that she sees someone she knows at every single stop. This is simply for the cameras. No other politician does this every time! I friend of mine remarked about this months ago and since then I have watched. Everytime she in on TV in front of a crowd, she does this.

It was an extra Mothers Day Card. I sat down at my computer and was instantly taken back to when my own little boy arrived more than three deacdes ago. What a beautiful baby you have. So much joy.

I had thought about Bob Graham too. He sure knows his foreign policy. He is an articulate speaker as well and could dismantle anything McCain had to say in short order.

I have to disagree with you. I think both Hagee and Parsley will be issues in the GE. The evangelicals are redirecting their priorities away from only gay issues and abortion to issues like poverty and climate change. These two guys do not represent most evangelicals. These guys are even more nuts than Falwell and Robertson and I think the fact that McCain sought them out is going to make for an extended news cycle. Robert Greenwald has a good piece on these two with McCain sucking up to them.

No, no, no! Doesn't anyone remember when she gave the Democratic rebuttal after the State of the Union? She may be a good Democrat, but she is about as dynamic as Harry Reid. The Democratic Party needs someone that really is a great campaigner, communicator and connects with people. Anyone that falls short will look even more lacking when compared with Obama's skills.

S-Chip was even popular with a lot of Republicans. This seems like a really foolish issue to tackle. It's for children. There was huge public support for this. I say, let them have at it, it will backfire.

McCain is no different than all the other Republicans. He has voted with them overwhelmingly, kept quiet during their most agregious crimes and flipped for the President and his criminal Administration when called on to do so. Why would anyone think he wouldn't approve of sleazy campaigning? The Democrats have their work cut out for them. We are going to have the hound the media to get fair coverage of dirty campaign tactics and McCains defiencies.

Putting Hillary on the ticket would diminish Obama's integrity. She has smeared him, called him not ready to be C&C, demeaned his policy positions, demeaned his judgement. How could she possibly speak in his support. Oh Yeah, she has no problem doing a one eighty because she really has no concrete principals.
