Poliics

I'd like to like you John, but you didn't mention a single specific thing you'd do or a specific aspect of your party's ideology that you'd change.

Not a single sacred cow touched. Could have at least mentioned Guantanamo or Torture.

That was pretty gauzy. Where's our "Maverick."

That's all true.

I will respond that I think they actually miscalculated by appealing too much to the base in this particular case - I know they were concerned with "Maverick" McCain, but he's stepped so far away from that, and the only other option for Republicans is *so* far away from their base, that I don't think that, whining aside, they would have had any choice. I thought Palin was a solid choice at first, but the more I think about it, the more I think they should have gone with Snowe, because she might actually pull some of the Dems on the fence about Obama over.

However, I'm fairly happy, because at this point in time, I'm for an Obama presidency, and unless the Left stays home in November, it should be a lock.
