Pam Atherton

A few of my very smart women friends think Palin has what it takes. I don't get it. Why can't they see what I see and what many conservative pundits are falling all over themselves to say? Palin is not qualified. I was so confused, I sought the advice of experts.

R.W. Sanders

Karl Rove knows that if you repeat a message over and over, people will eventually believe it. For this technique to work, however, one must stick to a simple theme and be consistent. John McCain didn't get that memo.

Enough with the campaign promises. That's not what we need right now, especially since most of the promises probably won't happen anyway. What we need is a president who respects others. Especially the women-folk.
