Wow! Even Peggy Noonan, former Reagan speechwriter and political soulmate of Charles Krauthammer, thinks Palin is not up to the job.

Well people who are smart enough to string sentences together are obviously intellectuals who are out of touch with the Republican base.

^ Actual argument made by crazy Bay Buchanan last night.

A telling excerpt from the same source:
In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It's no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism.

I couldn't agree more.

They've left the GOP to the wingnuts. Thinking GOP'ers now are either Libertarians or are now Obama Republicans.

I live in Northern Colorado Springs. I can see New Life (mega)Church from my back deck (remember Rev Ted?). I'm 3 miles from Focus on the Family. The area is one of the 'reddest' and most conservative areas of the country. There are tons of national religious organization headquartered here; ministries of every stripe. Even HERE, we DEMs have registered MANY thousands of new voters, mostly DEM or IND, some GOP. Many long-time GOP types, including many highly religious types, simply cannot stand what the GOP has become, nor can they stand John McCain and Sarah Palin. Many are INVOLVED with our Obama efforts. Most of our Obama team up here is composed of former military / GOP conservatives.

Here are 2 links for a guy I know from our Obama group here, they should be must-reading or watching for our rigid GOP posters:
- The Reason Campaign (click on Joe Carlson, a retired Army officer / CPA and a devout Christian). Also note the other Colorado conservatives who are professing for Obama, including GOP members of our CITY COUNCIL ! !
- Vets jumping the Republican ship : Opinions : Ranger Rich : Colorado Springs Independent : Colorado Springs

NOVEMBER 2008 = LANDSLIDE OBAMA
