It's the same old strategy. If you can't win votes based on merit, you attack your opponent with scurrilous accusations and rumors. Unfortunately, many voters are so stupid (yes, stupid) that this strategy works. Just this once, I'd like to see this strategy fail and see the oldest man to EVER run president drop even further in the polls.

Voters don't like the bailout. They've told their representatives, and their representatives actually listened. Funny the difference an election year can make. If this had happened last year, they would have rubber-stamped this and moved on. Now the Simpering Simian has to come up with a plan that helps people, not the big financial institutions.

This proposed bailout looks like yet another power grab scheme for the Simpering Simian. The broadening role of the Treasury department. The lack of over site. The lack of court review. It all adds up to a financial Patriot Act. At least Congress is giving it a little more scrutiny than they did in 2001.

The State Legislature has finally passed a budget and all Ahnold can do is threaten to veto it. What an ass!. Maybe the recall is not so bad an idea after all.

After seven years, bin Laden is still at large. Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. There's no end in site in Iraq or Afghanistan. The economy is practically in free-fall. And all the oldest man to EVER run for president can offer is more of the same. This is what is at stake in the election this year. It's not about a woman becoming VP. It's about setting things right. The GOP had eight years to do so and blew it. Let someone else give it a shot.

It looks like Ahnold is facing a recall move by the prison guard union. I don't expect this to get any further than other attempts. Besides, what's the point? He'll be out of office for good in a couple of years anyway.

So how does the oldest man to EVER run for president's running mate advocate for abstinence only teachings, when that philosophy obviously failed to keep her daughter from becoming another statistic of teen pregnancy? The answer is she can't.

Before I get to my DNC observations, I need to vent about McCain's little stunt regarding the announcement of his running mate. First, it was petty to make the announcement to try and steal the spotlight from Obama. I know he has that prerogative, but if the Dems do the same next week, you know you would never hear the end of it.

My teaching gig Wednesday nights precluded me from watching the big speeches, but from everything I read, Bill delivered big time. Makes you wonder what could have been if Hillary's campaign had been successful.

The night that Fox News was hoping for didn't happen. The DNC didn't implode into a Hillary/Obama schism. Some other things to note.
