McCain's convention gambit is now a culture war strategy. It depends for its execution on conflict with journalists and bloggers and on confusion between and among the press, the blogosphere, and the Democratic party.
The scariest thing I hear about the Palin nomination was that she would appeal to voters because they would be able to relate to her.
With reckless abandon Tuesday night, both Thompson and Lieberman made every rhetorical effort to shake down the audience -- tossing reality and facts to the four winds.

Newt Gingrich on MSNBC just referred to Palin as McCain's "soulmate." I really don't think the Republicans understand what that word means. And now he just said that Obama was never the commander of the Alaska National Guard. Neither was Palin.

Sarah Palin is a shining example of the potential and power of women. And in one hot moment, her daughter gave away her power to make the decisions about how she wanted her future to play out.
Phillip Butler, a veteran who was a prisoner with McCain in Vietnam, is explaining loud and clear that being a POW does not qualify McCain to lead our country.
