Sadly, I wonder just how much Bristol Palin will bear the brunt of the blame when/if McCain/Palin loose instead of people focusing on her mother's inadequacies.

The thought made my stomach churn a little. I feel for the poor girl.

Anyone be interested in getting a group together for an Election Night Countdown/Celebration (fingers crossed!)

Either way the night turns out I'm thinking I'm going to need need either a shoulder to cry on or (more optimistically) others to celebrate with. (Lord knows I'm not going to sleep at all that night.)

Oh and are we still getting together this month at Tea's Me?

So I'm at work all night again and it's relatively a slow night so I have quite a bit of time to catch up on blogs, and other assorted articles that I (try to) keep up with. (A task that's growing increasingly difficult since the semester started two weeks ago.)

Steve Benen, at the Washington Monthly blog says:

"we have the man who would be the oldest president in American history, who happens to have a record of health problems, picking a virtual unknown who's been a governor for less than two years. Amazing."

We didn't want this occasion to pass quietly by. The American Values Alliance blog has been in operation for two years, emerging in its present form on 31 July 2006 as a forum for discussion of the political, social and cultural news of the day.

In a comment on another post, Bob M, from South Shore Progressive (peace and blessings be on his noggin) asks "Would they (Hillaristas) really rather have a McSame presidency?"

Will Bower, founder of PUMA (Party Unity My Ass), now operating under the cleaned-up moniker, "People United Means Action" will be a featured guest on tonight's "Hardball." Not heard of them? Well, they've been getting a serious hearing by the MSM:

Given how much energy has been put into inflating a righteous hatred of Michelle "Newly Proud" Obama in some quarters, I've got a suggestion that will certainly fluff up her image.

Poll
Is the focus on Palin's family over the top?
No. By pitching her family values as chief amongst her qualifications, she asked for it.
67%
Yes. Family is off limits no matter how much the candidate uses them.
33%
Not sure. It seems that we're supposed to consider family and other personal aspects--even if they don't impact policy.

I. Don't. Care.
