You guys totally lost your minds for years after 9/11 and the culture war’s still sucking your energy." Sooo, electing the most leftwing member of the Senate will bring us back togeather? Nope. Keep the change. Toes Says:

This pick gets even overtly hostile to Johnny Mac voters such as myself back on the Straight Talk Express and <i>be happy about it</i>. That's huge. But if McCain is even the least bit saavy, he'll make it a "McCain/Palin v. Reid/Pelosi" campaign. The "Do Nothing" Congress needs to be excoriated by the electorate for not doing their jobs.

Can Obama even find the Senate mens' room without asking directions? He doesn't have the qualifications to be a Chicago alderman, if you don't count his experience as a bagman for the Chicago political machine. And let's reiterate the obvious point: Palin is a <i>Vice Presidential</i> candidate, who may or may not ever become President, whereas the Messiah is a <i>Presidential</i> candidate, and would certainly become President if he is elected. They're roughly comparable in experience, but Palin at least is pro-American, whereas Obama is whatever Obama is. Let’s talk lack of experience.

Omg. You're either equally upset about Palin's lack of experience or you're a transparent hypocrite, and you know it. Oh, she has executive experience.

Omg.

Further, she has real <i>accomplishments</i>. He doesn't. The Republican VP candidate is more fit to be President than the Democrat presidential candidate. Highlighting this hurts the Democrats.

Kids transferring to the suburbs (most of the time their parents move out of the city for educational and other reasons) are typically two or three grades behind their suburban colleagues. If they stay at the same level, they literally can't read books written up to their grades level...i.e. although nominally in the sixth grade, they can only read and comprehend books designed for fourth graders, or even third graders. And - as I said above - these are the districts that do spent a total (local plus state plus federal) funds greater than the vast majority of school districts. Toes:
