The GOP is intent on keeping George Bush -- and his disastrous legacy -- as far away from John McCain and the Republican convention as possible. So we decided to bring a stark reminder of those years to the RNC. Check out the video as we unroll the 60-foot version of our graphic reminder of what the Bush Years have wrought: 
The mainstream media consensus -- and we know just how wrong the consensus usually is -- is that Palin's speech has consolidated and galvanized the conservative base.
In the absence of a legitimate argument, and in the presence of half-truths and outright lies, McCain operatives are fiercely attacking news outlets that ask tough questions and dig up the truth.
Palin's speech was not meant to inform or inspire her audience -- it was meant to call down the force that will re-ignite the culture wars of the late 20th century. And so it did.
Surely the Republican Spartans are ready for battle after this rousing show, but it's unclear who exactly they're mobilizing.
My sassy Alaskan sure has brass balls, trying to close down that Troopergate investigation up there. Reminds me of Nixon but looks better in pumps. Waaaayyy better... Ooo, baby... Easy, sailor, easy...
In contrast to Obama whose selection of Joe Biden was smart and important in shoring up the Obama Team's gravitas -- Palin has been set up by McCain to be a new kind of 21st century "saint."
Both McCain and Obama have pledged their support for our troops and new veterans -- but will they put their money where their mouth is?
In her speech she was a more compelling and powerful presence than was John McCain. Does she belong in the big time? Judging from this performance, yes.
She struck out big-time in a biting speech that showed the only job she was ready for is RNC Chair, another ruthless soldier in Karl Rove's army.
Sarah Palin, who has spent less than a week in the media spotlight and has thus far made herself completely unavailable for interviews, is blasting the media with both barrels, deriding them for daring to cover her.
Now that you have nominated a real life black person and proved you are not racist...
What a bizarre week for Obama to mount a counter-programming effort. He has the RNC and Hurricanes Gustav and Sarah. It's going pretty well for him -- not that he has all that much to do with it.
