Obama pulled out of NC, Georgia and Virginia weeks ago. - Reaganite Tue, 09 Sep 2008 09:35:28 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/thetrunk/42-opinion/116-mccain-palin-will-flush-apostate-gops-big-government-ways.html#comment-288 has pulled resources out of Ohio and I think he has written off Georgia and North Carolina because of Governor Palin. (He had been making plays for those two Red States). However, Virginiia, which unfortunately has many transplanted New Yorkers (liberals) is tricky as is Colorado (same reason). When New Yorkers move to other states, frequently complaining about high taxes, they take their terrible voting patterns with them. - alice Lemos Tue, 09 Sep 2008 09:27:05 +0100 http://www.urbanelephants.com/index.php/thetrunk/42-opinion/116-mccain-palin-will-flush-apostate-gops-big-government-ways.html#comment-281 Here are the facts of the Presidential Election......(Great sources) Short and to the point. McCain MUST win Pennsylvania , Michigan & Ohio. If McCain does that he wins no matter what. (Even losing Florida, which he does not) If he McCain loses ONE of those three States it becomes a very, very long night. (Pick off's become important) No other polls matter but this scenario. (Pollster.com) And yes due to migration of the "Lefties aka Liberals" of California into the Mountain States (Former Cowboy States) IE. New Mexico, Montana, Dakota's & Colorado the rules have changed.

There are a multitude of reasons for this, in my humble opinion, but I'm focusing specifically on the fiscal. She complements Senator McCain extremely well. Her record is impressively solid and something to be proud of. One of the reasons I opposed the selection of Mitt Romney as McCain's running mate, for example, as you addressed in your article last week (and with which I agreed whole-heatedly) was his questionable record as a fiscal conservative. To try and debate the merits of smaller government and reduced spending with Mitt Romney as the running mate would have been akin to the cat addressing a canary convention on the benefits of sturdier cages. It wouldn't have fared well for our side. Sarah Palin's record, by contrast, is one of a crusader against wasteful spending. Her positions are clear and strong. To propose restraint in spending, when surpluses exist, is certainly something to sing about around the campfire. It is admirable, extremely disciplined and principled. However, her crusader-like spirit against the oil companies, admittedly, may come under some attack from folks like me. I just happen to be one of those people that does NOT believe the oil companies are the greatest evil since the final five seasons of M*A*S*H hit the air. Call me silly. Tax hikes against the oil companies don't exactly send any shivers down my spine, and there could be some potential problems down the road should she happen to change her position on the national stage. Indeed, as you write (quoting Chris Edwards), those tax hikes were "uninspiring." Still, in total, I love the Sarah Palin pick. If I wanted someone in office who I agreed with one hundred percent of the time, I'd run myself. Andy Roman Brooklyn, NY - Andrew Roman Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:41:12 +0100
