Preparing Myself, but Hoping for the Best
MooreThoughts (Free subscription) | 08/10/2008
I firmly believe that McCain can (and should!) win the election next month. This is not because I think that the fine senator from Arizona will be an amazing president … not at all. He will be fine. Instead, the need for a McCain victory stems from the fact that the alternative [...]

Did You Ever Wish You Were Running For President? I Know I Do
Residual Forces (Free subscription) | 08/10/2008

When running against an unapologetic socialist, you don’t need to pander by trying to match the spending. growing government even more and letting it dip its fingers in every aspect of our lives is a terrible mistake. Obama is going to impliment the socialist dream of government becoming the provider. Of course in order [...]

Theodore's World (Free subscription) | 08/10/2008
Brokaw sounds like he’s half dead! Also Brokaw chose a bunch of horrible questions. The debate was constrained and limited by Tom Brokaw. I also noticed that Brokaw said John McCain but when talking about Obama said Senator Obama...

This is your problem Republicans. I can’t help you much since I forsook you four years ago and don’t plan on returning. All indications are that Barack Obama will be the next President. McCain’s numbers are down, Palin did well in the debate, but not well enough to inspire those not already committed [...]

Pragmatism vs. Idealism
Something Epic (Free subscription) | 03/10/2008

I think this is partly personality, partly profession, and a good deal of being married [...]
