Kavon,
The following article by Peter Wehner exposing the reality of Obama’s plan for Iraq (as written in today’s NYT), is just another reason why this is getting closer. Its a great read!
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/wehner/15801
In a very thorough manner, Wehner points out that Obama’s new justification for withdrawal (Maliki’s calls for a time table) is only possible because we are now overwhelmingly winning in Iraq due to the surge strategy that McCain demanded for years.
If Obama had his way, and the President had not implemented the surge (which Obama repeatedly predicted would fail), the troops would also be leaving Iraq, but in defeat.
I think the article is worthy of a front page post.

McCain still going STRONG!

I am counting the days when McCain takes charge of the lead & then begins to pull away with this mess of a candidate Obama.

Why Wall Street fears Obama
The Democrat’s rhetoric on taxes and health care is frightening people in the investing classes over what critics call ‘wealth redistribution.’

Its good for Wall Street to be afraid of somebody. When I get my mutual fund statements in the mail I just toss them with the others without opening them, afraid to see how much I’ve lost. I’d like to move but I am afraid to buy a new house or try to sell mine because of the real estate market. So right now I can’t be worried that Wall Street will have to pay more taxes. They have had a nice ride with low taxes and yet we are in a lot of trouble, which is why I simply can’t buy the tax argument.

Greg Mankiw… I had to teach using his textbooks. I ended up having to teach around his textbooks so the freshmen wouldn’t fail.

romney was is michigan to open a campaign headquarters for mccain, something that says ‘running-mate’ more then ’surrogate’.
i know a lot of people want palin, but i think romney will actually help mccain win and actually help turn the economy around and get closer to a balanced budget.
think about it, a vice president romney, with a great organization and fundraising, running in 2012 on the coattails of a successful selfless one term of mccain, in which he won the wars in iraq and afghanistan, saw the end of osama bin laden, and turned around the economy.
VP romney then picks a now 2 term governor palin as his running mate, giving us 4, 5 , even 6 consecutive terms.

#11, yes, or maybe Palin would be ready by then!
