Thanks to the thousands of readers who have visited this blog since it was launched the night of Sarah Palin's speech at the Republican Convention. Now it's up to you so go out and VOTE!Hoping for a big Barack win!

No one would ever accuse Sarah Palin of being a Constitutional genius. After all, she thinks the Constitution gives the VP power to rule the Senate. Her latest display of stunning ignorance came during an interview yesterday with conservative talk radio show WMAL-AM. Palin said her First Amendment rights are threatened by reports who suggest she is engaging in a negative campaign against Obama:

Just in time for Halloweeen, Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State and top McCain supporter, gave a frightening summary of Palin's qualifications during a an NPR radio interview yesterday. Eagleburger was asked if Palin could take take over the reins as President if the need arose; here is his SCARY assessment:

Will someone please flush Joe the Plumber down John the Toilet so we don't have to be tortured by this knucklehead anymore! Joe, whose real name is Samuel and who isn't a licensed plumber, is now on the campaign trail with McCain and Palin dispensing foreign policy opinion.

This morning, John McCain called for Stevens to step down from the Senate.

Today in Cleveland, Ohio, McCain was peddling his latest in a long line of failed campaign tactics. He is now proclaiming that Obama is a tax-and-spend liberal and the country can't survive if the Democrats control the White House, Senate and Congress.Although facts don't matter to McCain, they do matter to most of the rest of us. The fact is the “tax and spend” label the Republicans have hung on the shoulders of Democrats for more than 60 years is a myth of their own creation. Here are the facts:
