Palin Talks Foreign Policy - Heaven Help Us!

On Alaska being bordered by two foreign countries:

Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.

Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of.

Republicans Cannot Support the Bailout, Their Party Platform Says So

The GOP's party platform was approved earlier this month at the convention. Part of it discussed rebuilding homeownership. If the Republicans truly believe in the free market as stated below, they cannot approve the bailout. Read it in full here.

Rebuilding Homeownership

"We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all."

This Just About Sums It Up For Me

From Hillary Clinton, in Florida today:

"Choosing a Republican to clean up this mess is like asking the iceberg to save the Titanic.”

On Bristol Palin's Pregnancy, "The Saddest Part"

From Mark Morford of SF Gate in an article today:

"But here's the saddest part of all: Governor Palin knew. She absolutely had to realize that her daughter's unfortunate condition would come to light when McCain offered her this bizarre gig. To which we can only say: Way to shove your own daughter under the wheels of the GOP Machine, Governor Palin. Ultimate sacrifice indeed."

McCain's Resolve

From Bush's GOP convention speech:

"Fellow citizens, if the Hanoi Hilton could not break John McCain's resolve to do what is best for his country, you can be sure the angry left never will."

But McCain canceled an appearance on Larry King Live because reporter Campbell Brown's questions to McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds "went over the line" (watch here).

So Hanoi Hilton couldn't break McCain's resolve but CNN could.

Palin Will Not Be The VP Pick For Very Long

Palin will not be the VP pick for very long for the same reason that McCain chose her - politics first.

Today, for the very first time, Obama hit the 50% mark in support among registered voters in the Gallup daily tracking poll. If the polls numbers continue favorably for Obama, you can be sure Palin will be dropped.

But don't worry. The Republicans will have an excuse at the ready. They will say that it wasn't a political choice to drop Palin but that it was her choice to resign, in order to take care of her family, her newborn baby son and her pregnant daughter (even though she knew all of these things beforehand!).

And everyone will know not to go there, because it's personal and nobody's business.

Update: Intrade is betting her nomination will be withdrawn. See here.
