  Despite the Dems and the allied main stream media’s desperation to see Romney as McCain’s Veep, Mitt is clearly out, with (1) Obama doubling down on the class warfare theme (McCain’s 7 houses) and (2) McCain doubling down with ads showing the hypocrisy of Biden attacking Obama in the primaries — Romney did way more than that contra McCain.

  This leaves only Govs Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty. Pro-abortion Ridge and Dem-Lieberman were never real considerations, despite relentless media goading. Pawlenty’s lackluster TV performances, coupled with Palin pizzazz, the primacy of oil drilling and the ticked off women/Hillary voters, does now portend a McCain/Palin checkmate on the Dems. This is so albeit the Dems and liberal media dare not mention Palin’s name, that is, everyone but…..

  And if there’s any question as to Palin being uniquely positioned and able to more than nullify Biden in debate, see the excellent discussion at palinforvp.blogspot.com

  Team McCain, well done!!!

  This whole "number of houses" non-issue is starting to p#%s me off. OK, the guy has a rich wife. Republican wealth bad, Democratic wealth good. I get that. How about we ask Mr. & Mrs. Obama how much their own families contributed toward paying for their 4 Ivy League degrees? How would THAT go down with the middle-class they claim to care so much about? The problem with class warfare is two-fold:

  1.More people aspire to be "rich" (whatever THAT is) than hate those that already have achieved wealth and

  2.Energy doesn't disappear. "Equal and opposite reaction" and all that. Every loony populist rant about capitalist pigs reminds some guy in Holbrook or Methuen about the job he lost to affirmative action or the college admission his kid didn't qualify for.

  Obama & Biden had better hope the US is a lot less centrist than I think it is. Unless Bush Derangement Syndrome has shifted the entire country permanently to the left, their raison d'etre is still well hidden.
