Will Obama really win this thing? And if he does, can he do much about the economy? Am I really losing my funds? I'll have to rent the Florida place. I don't need it. Will I be able to rent it?

Thank You Rush Limbaugh (and Pat Buchanan)

Limbaugh and Buchanan have both sought to tie Powell's endorsement to his race. Only something funny happened. Instead of diminishing Powell's reputation, they only further diminished theirs.

Buchanan is advancing his own racist brand of utilitarianism: wherein the greatest number of people are happiest when blacks know their place.

I wasn't aware that Congress had to choose between the economy and protecting GLBT people from job discrimination. I had no idea that passing a hate crime law might hinder our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I am begging you, sir. I am begging you." That was the plea of McCain supporter James T. Harris, an African-American radio host, asking McCain to go after Obama's Reverend Wright connection.

A Post-Mortem of the Debate Post-Mortem: Trying to Refrain from Questioning Pat Buchanan's Motives.

How could anyone with half a brain come to the conclusion that Palin wiped up the floor with Biden? Perhaps it's when we are befuddled by surface meanings that we begin to look for motives.

As Palin continued with her non-answers, winks, and jibes, there was no way to conclude anything but -- this woman has no idea what she's talking about.

Pat Buchanan and his ilk would place Palin's religion beyond analysis. They would have her kind of faith be a one-way factor in government: capable of influencing decisions but protected from examination.

John McCain is Sparta, Barack Obama is Athens

I found in the McCain-Palin speeches the clarion call for a modern day Sparta in their appeal to blind patriotism and triumphalism, and their manipulation of the least educated, most terrified among us.

The faux-drama the media build up around party conventions is unjustified. About the only thing that really matters, in terms of its ability to move votes, is the nominee's acceptance speech.

To elect a far-left liberal in 2008 would be like Reagan getting elected in 1968, or FDR in 1924. The country simply isn't ready yet. The liberals' time will come again -- just not this year.
