Breda takes Hillary to task for her excuses about her debate performance.  I’ve honestly never been able to understand Hillary’s appeal to women.  I’ve heard more than a few women say they’ll vote for her because she’s a woman and a feminist.

She’s a woman who’s made her political career riding on her much more politically talented husband’s coattails, while other women were busy riding other parts of Bill.  Someone explain to me what’s feminist about that?

Target Rich Environment points to an AP article that suggest McCain might make a comeback:

 “Lots of people pronounced him dead on the table. It’s fair to say he went into a vegetative state. Now, he’s clearly showing signs of life,” said Tony Fabrizio, a Republican pollster unaligned in the race who once declared McCain politically dead. “It’s still a long shot, but less of a long shot than it was four months ago.”

Despite my problems with Rudy and Mitt, and my disappointment that Fred can’t seem to get his act together, there’s no way in holy hell I’m voting for John McCain unless he repents for his role in McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, and starts working to repeal it.

I’m worried, especially after talking a few days ago about Mitt Romney doing well fund raising in Silicon Valley, that Fred Thompson just isn’t making it happen.  The big money might be happy with Rudy and Mitt, but money doesn’t get you there.  Votes get you there, and I worry that when the chips are down, neither of those two beat Hillary.

Democrats are energized this time around, and are raising money like mad.  I worry we’re going to have at least four, probably eight more years of Clinton rule.  For those of us who care about freedom, we’re going to be in for some sad years I’m afraid, and we won’t have anyone to blame but the Republicans.

Bitter highlights a good piece on the gun issue in the 2008 elections, which concludes with a bit showing why Joe Biden is still a turd.  Could the people of Delaware do everyone else a huge favor and stop sending this guy back to the Senate?  The rest of the country would thank you.

… what Mitt thinks an Extreme Weapon is.  They’ll tell you.

This time from Bruce.  The man has never held a position he wasn’t willing to change.

Interesting article on how the tech vote is shaping up. On the Republican side, it would appear Silicon Valley has a strong preference for Mitt Romney, which is further indication that people who live there have gone insane, or are under a spell from Mitt’s hair, which is a result of a deal he signed with Satan quite some time ago.

This probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise that he’s raising so much Silicon Valley dough, considering he has the CEO of eBay backing his campaign finances, which is something that might concern gun owners:

But at a meeting in January 1999, Whitman and eBay board member Howard Schultz (who is also the chairman of Starbucks) led the push to get guns off of the site. “Having them up there just wasn’t appropriate,” Whitman says. “It didn’t fit in with the kind of company we wanted to be.”In the spring of 1999, Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado was racked by more than a dozen deaths as two students opened fire on classmates. None of the firearms involved had come from eBay. But as the implications of that event sunk in, eBay became ever stricter about what it would sell.

Firecrackers and police badges were banned. Tobacco products were declared off-limits, and wine sales were severely restricted. And new software, which would automatically search for sale listings that included keywords associated with “hate commerce,” was released. Those listings would then be purged from the site, and a customer-service specialist would review them to see if there was any reason to allow such a listing.

But we all know Mitt is freedom’s best friend now, right? I’m not buying it. Perhaps I am impervious to his satanic hair spell, or perhaps it’s just given his past, I’m just not feeling good about him, and the momentum he seems to have with certain segments of the Republican Party, namely the ones with money.

What’s wrong with you rich people? We can’t let Mr. Satan Hair walk away with the nomination!

I waited too long to get around to posting Billy Richardson’s speech before the NRA, and my impressions.   How about the YouTube video?
