Sarah Palin's new 'nickname for Obama?

Barack the Wealth Spreader.

OK. Aside from sounding like something concocted by an angry third-grader (or worse, one of my terminally nerdified D&D buddies from back in the junior high school days), it's an incredibly hypocritical comment coming from the Governor of a state that pays its residents each year with taxed profits from Alaskan oil companies. I've never figured out how that's any different from taxing those among us that can better afford it in order to provide much needed services for the entire country while at the same time easing the tax burden on the middle and lower class.

Fortunately, someone from AP finally decided to act like a journalist and connect the dots.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press" that he can "guarantee" a a landslide win for democrat Barack Obama on Nov. 4 by ‘laughable margins" that will be "clearly apparent to anyone with an IQ above 14" by 10 am eastern time on voting day.

McCain spoke amid signs of worsening internal poll numbers and reports of ugly and occasionally violent arguments among his staff, which has been badly outgunned in both money and manpower from day one.

With the overwhelming stench of republican decay fouling the air with increasing regularity over the past few weeks, I have to say I'm not all that surprised to read that Sen. Dole's new "strategy" (or is that a tactic?) in her bid for re-election is to argue that "divided government" is better than allowing the Democratic Party to write itself a blank check in the wake of Obama's inevitable victory on Nov. 4.

A little presumptuous on her part, no?

I mean, Obama hasn't won YET, has he?

The rats are no longer just jumping ship--they're getting a running start!

...but they are certainly influenced by the quality of judgment displayed by the presidential nominee when making his or her vice presidential pick.

As a DK lurker by trade, I don't often post comments, and I certainly don't write diaries (save for a few pathetic attempts back in 2004). The gist of this particular diary was initially written as a comment in a diary that scrolled off the list in short order several days ago. After Palin's 'performance' last night and the subsequent burbling cesspool of near-universal praise from the Holy Pundit Maggotry this morning, I thought it might be good to get this out there as a diary for further discussion. If I've violated some sort of comment/diary regurgitation rule, I apologize profusely. After four years of reading this site daily, I'm still new at this diary thing.

...more over the fold.

For mental and spiritual health reasons, I've done my best to avoid anything even remotely associated with Tim Russert this year, but the combination of Ed Gillespie and Terry McAuliffe on MTP was too good to pass up. One of the more entertaining exchanges pertaining to SS privatization is below. But before you get there... take the poll! Read More
