McCain has run an unconventional campaign. It used to be you had to be way out there on the right (or left if you're a dem) to get the nomination, because only the hard-core-base types voted in the primaries.

McCain actually started out middle-right to get the nomination and is now veering to the right to shore up the base.

Obama started out way left to get the nomination and is tracking to the middle for the general.

Now matter how you look at it, both candidates are navigating to the right!

This makes me glad for my candidate. Wonder if they've been taking all the advice I send them?

Please provide proof, documentation to back that up.
You stated it as if it were fact so you must have documentable proof.
Maybe you are a republican insider and are privy to information like that?

Or was it just your opinion and you pretended it is fact? Yep, that's what it was.
Just your opinion and not worth the electrons it took to display it.

I heard that the Pitbull line was an ad lib by Palin - that's a very memorable phrase and will serve her well.

Yes, a hockey mom comparing herself to a lipstick-wearing dog with a perceived vicious killer instinct, conjured up all sorts of interesting images. I'm certain cartoon studios in Hollywood are working on Pitbull Palin images right now.

How long do you think it will be before the left springs Michael Vick out of the slam to hunt down Palin?

What makes you think she'll be offended?

Although, I cannot imagine anyone putting up a political cartoon of her being a dog....

REAL Leadership is shown by how many times you vote present. As if Reagan picked Bush and so on... I highly doubt BHO picked Biden either.
