Governor Palin

WOW! That's what I have to say. In my book, if Pat Buchcanan gives you a ringing endorsement, that's pretty much hard to beat. I'm very close to doing something that I've done twice so far of my own volition, and once because my candidate dropped out of the race. This is not something I do light heartedly. Stay tuned this week.

Governor Palin, while being tabbed as a maverick pick and unorthodox pick, I submit that in terms of strategic politics, it is a very sound and logical pick. Senator McCain is weak among evangelicals and social conservatives in general. Governor Palin could appeal to those who acknowledge life-issues and family values as their primary criteria in voting.

Certainly, Governor Palin has been very effective in combating old network pork barrel bosses like Murkowski and Young. I believe that Governor Palin's primary appeal will be her ability to energize the core conservative base, without whose support, Senator McCain will lose in November.
Tactically speaking, this pick certainly dominated the news cycle. Another good reason why the timing is so important.

As it stands right now, I still support Bob Barr for President. If the McCain/Palin ticket can make a convincing argument for switching, I'll consider it.

BREAKING NEWS!!!! THIS IS SERIOUS

Abingdon, VA at 2:46 pm, the date is Sunday, August 31, 2008. In a surprising discovery today, Bible readers have discovered that Almighty God is neither a Republican NOR a Democrat. DNC Chairman Howard "YEOWWW" Dean responded, "The Father has illustrated his total lack of understanding of the issues. If he truly were omniscient, he would be relating more to Democrats.

RNC Chairman Mike Duncan essentially echoes Dean's reply by stating, "God has certain rights that He and His office attain." "That said, God has demonstrated a fundamental lack of concern for those of His children who work so hard to elect GOP candidates."

Something New

Please bear with me as I try out a new program(for me) called ScribeFire. I'll be using it to post new entries to Good Sense. Let me have some feedback from those of you who have used it before. Also, I'll have a new post later today giving my take on John McCain's pick for running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.

Interesting

With a hat tip to the Barr campaign, it appears that Mr. Barr is the only candidate that will be legitimately on the Texas ballot in November. Check this out.  Apparently, the Dems and Republicans both missed the filing deadline.  For those who like visuals I've included a screen shot above.

Plagiarism in Virginia,and it's not even Joe Biden

I'm Not Emeril has a well written post, gutting a plagiarist from the good town of Charlottesville (or wherever they really are).  It's strange that our friends on the left have seem to run out of ideas (at least original ideas) and are resorting to theft to bolster their arguments. Go check the post out. 

Obama Herald Courier?

Strange that there are no mentions of John McCain, Ralph Nader, or Bob Barr? I realize that the folks at TriCities.com seek out advertising dollars because they are told to, but jeez.. maybe J. Todd Foster and his "crack" editorial staff would care to explain this one?  Better yet, when John McCain announces his pick for VP, let's see what the 'Obama' Herald Courier does then. Cheers to you and your staff, J. Todd.
