10:42pm -
KMC: Pundits agree: "Brokaw made it a REALLY horribly boring!"

10:32pm -
KMC: What don't you know? Not a great question, but a terrific answer by Senator McCain. And a GREAT chance to insert his biography...

10:30pm -
KMC: FOODSTAMPS??????? Was this the first time anyone else had heard that Obama's mama survived on food stamps?

10:22pm -
KMC: Obama, "I issued a statement in April depciting the dangers in Georgia!"
I will pay ANYONE who can prove that assinine statement $10 dollars. I do not for a minute believe that Obama issued a statement as Senator of any sort some two months before the Georgian invasion... HOGWASH Obama liar dude - PRODUCE THE STATEMENT!

10:21pm -
KMC: Obama agrees with McCain count: 7

10:19pm -
KMC: It is CLEAR that John McCain has WON the foreign policy section of the debate and that followed his narrow win on the economic issues at the start of the debate.

10:17pm -
KMC: When asked about what to do in Afghanistan, and Obama responds, "withdraw from Iraq."

10:13pm -
KMC: Obama, "again let me be clear..." (Which he had to say because no one understood how what he was saying was decipherably different than the way McCain had characterized it...) McCain won this point big on the "telegraphing his punches."

10:11pm -
KMC: "Announcing an attack,(on Pakistan)" another significant gaffe by Obama and PROMPTLY jumped on by McCain!

10:05pm -
KMC: MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR Obama GAFFE: Barack Obama just made the case that "moral obligations" may merit our use of military force and military action. YET he claimed he could not understand why we would "attack a nation" that did not "attack us." BUT if he would use force under "moral obligation" (i.e. humanitarian/genocide/etc.), then we would have STILL gone into Iraq - to LIBERATE 27 million people from the thumb of a dictator. Therefore it is fair to discern that Barack Obama does not think the liberation of oppressed people is a "moral" issue. Thus telling us that Obama does not believe LIBERTY is a moral virtue worth defending. Which tells you why he so devalues the HISTORIC liberty achieved by the founding fathers and the history of the nation that gave him the freedom to stand up and say this utter nonsense.

10:03pm -
KMC: Obama agrees with McCain count: 5.

10:00pm -
KMC: McCain - "WE (America) are the greatest force for GOOD in the history of the world!"
LOVELY:  Ummmm America has always the peace MAKER all over the world!
9:56pm -
LOVELY:  what is a 50% tax credit? To a small business - 50% of what
9:55pm -
KMC: The discussion of rebates on health coverage vs. mandated fines and taxes that Obama would impose against small business that can't afford coverage - was a BIG win on substance for McCain...

9:50pm -
LOVELY:  Obama thinks drilling is important??LOVELY:  finally some basic economic principles....supply and demand people
9:46pm -
LOVELY:  newsflash!!! obama favors nuclear power - this is the first I have heard of it...
9:43pm -
KMC: STOOOPID is as stoopid asks... (dumbest question of the night - "environment".)
LOVELY:  people are losing savings and jobs and she wants to know how fast congress will move on climate change issues??? when the rest of the world doesn't care about being "green", and they are surpassing our economies and polluting all the way to the bank...

9:40pm -
KMC: It is frightening - how BALD FACE easy Barack Obama lies about "John McCain wants to give 200 Billion in tax cuts to Wall Street CEO's." NOTHING in McCain's platform calls for ANYTHING to go to CEO's... VERY good for McCain to point out the 94 tax INCREASE votes that Obama owned.
LOVELY: Obama is such a liar.

9:36pm -
KMC:  BUSINESSES NEVER PAY for the TAXES that they are charged with... DOES NO IDIOT ON THE PLANET GET THIS?
LOVELY:  they pass them on to their consumers...

9:34pm -
KMC:  OBAMA: "That requires leadership from Washington." (Like you voting against all energy sources, authoring NO legislation, pledging to TAX businesses into the stone ages, and earmarking your way into Illinois infamy?)

9:31pm -
LOVELY:  how are we going to get more oil obama??
9:29pm -
FAITH AMMEN:  what sacrifices does he want McCain to reference? Sugar rations? Gas rations? Nationwide curfew?
9:28pm -
KMC:  Nuclear power plants - winning issue... millions of new jobs
9:22pm -
Matlock:  Reforming healthcare doesn't mean the government needs to take it over... We want to hand healthcare over to a broken system?  Bad idea!
9:20pm -
Matlock:  The middle class were not totally the victim.  They did spend money they didn't have.  Credit card debt is partially a choice too.
9:18pm -
KMC:  "Senator OBAMA's NAME was NOT on that letter!"
9:16pm -
FAITH AMMEN:  Obama wrote to the treasury secretary two years ago? I'm sorry, Obama, but you writing a LETTER when you had been in office barely a year, isn't really standing up to corruption"I'm confident about the American economy..." Yet, he just told that guy, "Imagine what will happen when this spreads to millions of small businesses..."

9:14pm -
Matlock:  Down with Mac and Mae! Amen McCain.
9:12pm -
Matlock:  It scares me a little to not have an economist as head of the treasury and to have someone like a successful businessman.  They may be successful but they may not know principles of econ.
9:11pm -
FAITH AMMEN:  Prosperity DOES trickle down from the top, Obama!!
9:10pm -
LOVELY:  Obama just agreed with McCain
9:09pm -
Matlock: Did you hear the entitlement in the first question?  Since when is it the government's responsibility to "fix" the economy?
LOVELY:  they don't need a "rescue package" they need for people not to be given housing loans when they can't afford them...
FAITH AMMEN:  Obama thinks the economy is the fault of Republican "de-regulation"? I think he forgot about the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act by Pres. Carter AND when Clinton made Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac buy out mortgages?
LOVELY:  the market is going to have to recover from this...and it will
Matlock:  Do you know how much of the US qualifies as the "middle class" as opposed to the "upper or lower"?  The "middle class" sure is getting most of the focus.

9:01pm -
It begins...
FAITH AMMEN:  whew i made it! Belmont is so close! I wish we could have gotten tickets...Matlock:  the people were chosen by Gallup.

8:55pm -
*** Belmont University Trivia *** - Only little more than 5000 students enrolled. Broke ties with the Tennessee Baptist Association last year...

8:53pm -
Some fascinating back and forth on FoxNews right now describing the question vetting process tonight. Evidently TOM BROKAW got totalitarian control over question selection... Hmmm.

Big night here for the MuscleHeads... Faith will be speaking with MTV through the night, Baldwin is wandering around St. Paul somewhere, and the live blogging that we've been pleased to offer you for every night - of both conventions continues here...

AND here's your chance to be part of it - as we introduce the largest live group blog ever. Here's how it works:

During the night tonight if you wish to contact me through facebook chat or through my IM screen name (RadioKMC on AIM) just shoot me a thought. If your observations are not laced with profanity - they will end up here on the LIVE Blog tonight.

So grab your laptop and let's get started...

11:25pm - Colleen: "Right on! McCain is self-less unlike Obama who is full of himself! McCain seeks the best for the country, while Obama seeks the best for his campaign! What a speech McCain gave - he took the high road, encouraging Americans to make this a better place and saying that he would rather lose an election than lose a war. McCain's the ultimate American war hero and patriot, indebted to his country and countrymen who saved his life, saying he finally found a cause greater than himself - his country - meanwhile Obama's wife disparages America by saying the first time she was ever proud of America was when her husband ran for President! There is simply no contest."

11:05pm - Michelle: "Character, honor and integrity oozes from this simple man?s speech..."

11:04pm - John McCain: "We don't hide from history, we make history!"

11:03pm - Michelle: "This Man...He just talks to your heart...THIS IS EXPERIENCE...THIS IS WISDOM...TRUE HUMILITY...He is making me cry. His speech is much more substantial that that polished one we heard from Obama. McCain/Palin the David in the David versus Goliath story."

11:02pm - John McCain: "NOTHING brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself!"

11:01pm - John McCain: "My country saved me, and I can not forget it, and I will fight for her, as long as I draw breath so help me God!"

11:00pm - John McCain: "I wasn't my own man anymore - I was my country's!"

10:59pm - Elaine: "What an honorable man and a Hero!"

10:58pm - John McCain: "But I TURNED it DOWN!"

10:56pm - John McCain: "I didn't FEEL so tough anymore... I was beginning to learn the limits of my independence... those men saved my life!"

10:55pm - John McCain: "I've been an imperfect servant of my country but a servant I have been past, present, and always... and I thank God for privilege."

10:54pm - John McCain: "Instead of fighting over who gets the credit, let's share it."

10:53pm - John McCain: "I have that record and the scars to prove it (of reaching across the isle)... Senator Obama does not!"

10:52pm - John McCain: "We have to catch up to history, and we have to change the way we do business in Washington."

10:51pm - John McCain: "I will draw on all my resources, and do all I can for a stable and enduring peace!"

10:51pm - Michelle: "McCain just hit it in the head. The key difference between him and Obama: HE IS PREPARED."

10:50pm - Elaine: "He is really talking like a President.He is prepared to be the leader of the Free World."

10:49pm - John McCain: "We have many grave threats in this world, but I'm not afraid of them... I'm prepared for them!"

10:48pm - John McCain: "The brave people of Georgia need our solidarity and our prayers. We can't turn a blind eye to aggression..."

10:44pm - John McCain: "We're gonna stop sending 700 billion dollars a year to countries that don't like us very much, we'll attack the problem on every front, we'll drill here and we'll drill NOW! We'll build more nuclear power plants, we'll encourage the use of flex-fuel and hybrid..."

10:44pm - John McCain: "I WANT schools to answer to parents and students... and when I'm president they will!"

10:43pm - Elaine: "He is hitting every major talking point of every major issue that America is concerned about today. Amen to helping bad teachers find another line of work."

10:41pm - John McCain: "Education is the civil rights issue of this century! Equal access to a public education has been gained. But what does it profit you to an equal access to a failing school!"

10:38pm - Elaine: "compare and contrasts good for America to hear..."

10:37pm - John McCain: "We believe in letting people keep the fruits of their labors... We believe in a culture of life... Personal Responsibility, Rule of Law, and Judges who judge impartially and do not legislate from the bench!"

10:36pm - KMC: Back to basics... best call all night!

10:35pm - John McCain: "We lost their trust! And rather than reform Government - both parties made it bigger. We lost their trust, when we valued our power over our principles!"

10:34pm - Michelle: "'what you fight for is the real test.' Now that is REAL talk ? la McCain the Maverick!"

10:33pm - John McCain: "What you fight for is the true test!"

10:32pm - Elaine: "His kind of strength, His Kind of wisdom His kind of backbone is what we need in the White House."

10:31pm - John McCain: "I fought for a different strategy and more troops in Iraq when it wasn't the thing to do! And when the pundits said my campaign was finished, I said, 'I'd rather lose an election than to see my country lose a war'!"

10:30pm - John McCain: "I will make them famous - and YOU will know their names!"

10:30pm - Elaine: "I love his smile, it comes from his heart!"

10:29pm - John McCain: "I work for YOU!"

10:28pm - John McCain: "CHANGE IS COMING!"

10:26pm - John McCain: "I can't wait to introduce Palin to Washington."

10:24pm - Democrat protesters again - I know the Dems are all snickering but did a conservative do anything similar to their convention... KEEP IT UP - the base is alive and energized!

10:22pm - KMC: "Being an American, is the most precious affiliation..."

10:19pm - Marcus: "if i'm mccain, i'd stay away from a backdrop that features green ... it didn't work well for him last time around."

10:18pm - Democrat protestors break into the convention - CLASSY!

10:14pm - KMC: I count my blessings every time I see McCain reach his hand upwards!

10:13pm - Elaine: "God Bless John McCain!"

10:08pm - Elisa: "More to Life than Self words to live by..."

10:07pm - Alyssa: "I WANT to be Sarah Palin..."

10:07pm - Adam: "I don't care WHAT happens to the country: Sarah Palin is a hottie!"

10:05pm - Elisa: "what a family Heritage McCain has!"

10:04pm - JoAnn: "Is finally excited about this election. I LOVE Sarah Palin!"

10:00pm - Michelle: "YES, "WE EARNED OUR WEALTH" just like the Obama?s. Not all Republicans are born with silver spoon. I hope that the Maverick/Barracuda ticket convey a lot of that message because the Dems use that as a classic argument. Bogus!"

9:58pm - James: "I hope McCain is kidding when he says he'll ask to tone down the partisan rancor...the rancor is so much fun... Today...CBS says race is tied. Prediction for tomorrow...Rasmussen has McCain/Palin up 5...

9:55pm - Michelle: "Amazing! Cindy McCain just mentioned Rwanda. The one thing that Clinton regret helping...and look...Cindy helped. I hope the people remember how Clinton failed this part of his foreign policy. Take a good look. This woman and Sarah Palin did more than Michelle Obama. What did Biden?s wife do? I don?t even remember"

9:54pm - Ken: "Palin's going to make a GREAT VP!"

9:53pm - Joy: "I think a candidate should be voted for based on qualifications... not smooth tongue, and slick words... been there, done that... enough of that."

9:51pm - Eric: "Palin's TV ratings match Obama's with four less networks covering it!"

9:42pm - Elisa: "I loved the movie Mrs McCain is something else!"

9:39pm - Cindy McCain: "If only the federal government would get themselves under control, and OUT of our way!"

9:38pm - Michelle: "Cindy is tough woman who is not afraid to roll up her sleeves. I cannot believe how these Liberals pick on her suit last night, whom I think she paid with their hard earned money (she has Masters!). That is why we are Republicans! We dream big and do big things! It doesn?t mean we do not know how to connect to those who earn less. Man, what is wrong with us? Ageism, Sexism and then Envy! Why can?t we just be happy for people who want to make a difference regardless of the package?!"

9:47pm - Cindy McCain: "I think John was a HERO!" (crowd goes nuts!)

9:37pm - Cindy McCain: "Nothing has brought me more joy than that of being a mother!"

9:34pm - KMC: I'm loving these tribute videos to the women of the campaign - the ones to Sarah Palin was so good, and the one to future first lady Cindy was equally touching. Talented, accomplished - and sooo compassionate... things you would not learn otherwise!

9:31pm - Michelle: "you know, these commentators keep harping on how much we know about this and that about McCain...some of us who are in international waters, or younger generation...do not know all the details about McCain (or even Cindy)."

9:07pm - Lindsay Graham: "If Barak Obama can not appreciate the fact that our troops are winning in Iraq, he shouldn't be their commander in chief.

We kick off the group blogging momentarily...

10:53pm
FAITH AMMEN:  What change has he seen and lived? How much can you experience in 163 days in his office as Senate?
LOVELY:  yes well--there are many dems who will be picking up a republican ballot
FAITH AMMEN:  I'm so sick of hearing how sad and depressed American people are..."taking less hours so there friends don't lose their jobs?" Ok,  let's have a little positive energy...
LOVELY:  Yes the American spirit--that came from a belief in God and a drive to work hard and know that if you did the potential was limitless...
FAITH AMMEN:  I love that Obama has no personal character or experience to make people love him...he has to piggyback on FDR, JFK, and Martin Luther King...

10:50pm
KMC:  THE GOSPEL OF CONDOMS
10:48pm
LOVELY:  If Obama loves America, why has he associated himself with someone who bombed the Capitol building in DC, and gone to a church with a pastor who says: "God Damn America"??????

10:43pm
KMC: That is a flat out lie about McCain...
10:41pm
FAITH AMMEN:  Programs can't replace parents? Then why are you pushing programs all the time?
LOVELY:  If he is willing to debate, then why doesn't he? He has refused debates?

10:40pm
LOVELY:  Like his daughters are going to have a problem being equally paid in the future
10:37pm
KMC: The "I will do this promises are so easy to make when you run for office..."
10:34pm

10:34pm
KMC: But if you tax the upper class - that tax break for the middle class will disappear in the higher price of goods and services...
10:31pm
KMC:  Its not a company's JOB to create JOBS... It is a company's job to provide a product, good, or service... The number of jobs that are created are dependent upon how well the company runs itself...
10:30pm
KMC: Nice to see him compliment granny and not throw her under the bus like he did during the primary...

10:29pm
FAITH AMMEN:  Who are the powerful people in the world? Who are the people we look up to? People who work hard and have individual responsibility. When was the last time you said, "My hero is this guy who made his living by surviving on welfare and government funded healthcare?" Is anyone else depressed? It sounds like America is in the Great Depression! Does anyone forget that we are the richest nation in the world? Why would you want to paint an America where everyone is jobless and single and dying of cancer!

10:28pm
Well whose responsibility is it supposed to be if we are looking for work, without healthcare, or in need of something?
10:24pm
KMC: Nation of WHINERS was a quote by Phil Gramm - not John McCain... he's aiming at the wrong guy.
LOVELY:  And Obama has also voted with McCain and Bush 90% of the time
10:22pm
FAITH AMMEN:  Anyone want to get the tissues? We are going to get plenty of sob stories. Why would you reframe the American government that people fought and died for be reduced to being about healthcare and preschool?

10:20pm
KMC: KATRINA???? The stupid Democrat Mayor and Governor were the ones who let New Orleans drown... The Mayor had 2000 buses, and by law was supposed to use them to evacuate people... He kept them locked while 1000 people drowned...

10:19pm
KMC: No - not true, not more are working for less... More are working for more - for three years in a row... check the census bureau dummy...
LOVELY:  And for the 2nd quarter this year, the economy has grown...
FAITH AMMEN:  I had no idea Bush was such a powerful man? He controlled and dominated and superceded the Supreme Court and legislative branch for 8 years?

10:15pm
KMC: "With gratitude... I accept..."

10:11pm
KMC: If Barack Obama believed and voted for the things he speaks about - everyone would vote for him. The problem is - the Barack Obama who casts votes in the United States Senate is not the Barack Obama in the biography video...

10:01pm
KMC: Dick Durbin is the warm-up goat for the night. And he is pathetic... Bush's broken promises? No Child Left Behind - promised, delivered. No attacks on Americans after 911 - promise, delivered. New prescription plan - promise, delivered.

At about 9pm or so Faith and I will kick in with running "live blog" commentary here on the MuscleHead pages. The headliner for the night, Michelle "never been proud of my country in my entire adult life until my husband started winning a primary" Obama. YOU can join the discussion if you are so led in the comments to this post as well...

PRE-PRIME TIME STARTER TOPIC: Is it just ME or do you think that the Obama campaign is really protesting too much, making too many statements, and too many public offerings stating that "Unity" is not a problem. I mean if it isn't - why do you have to make so many statements claiming so? Thoughts?

**Even more coverage - same low price**
Faith and I have both invited our roomates to join us in the "Live Blog" tonight. So you will get the unique honor of also hearing from the Lovely Bride, and Ms. Lindsay Matlock - what follows is their honest feelings on the night.

11:16pm
LOVELY: Overall, I think the evening went well for the Obama camp. I think that Kennedy's speech was well delivered and pointed toward the ideals in the forefront of the campaign. Michelle also redeemed herself from her previous  negative images--positive, caring mother and wife.

That was her big hurdle, and so this speech was mostly about her and where she and Obama came from--not about Obama's policies or platform. Tonight didn't tell anyone anything about what exactly he believes or what all the changes are going to be that they all keep talking about.

Except for the whole "healthcare" platform embraced by Ted Kennedy. This was a whitewashing of the Obama family; a "we aren't that different from you" story with none of the controversial or elite parts of their history included in what was said. It was meant to be reassuring, and I think it only spoke to people already on their side.

11:04pm
FAITH AMMEN:  If the convention was a self-help conference or a platform for motivational speakers, I would say the DNC has been successful so far. When it comes to having a real candidate with real experience and real solutions, they failed miserably.

Tonight I was inspired to vote for Obama because Teddy Kennedy has cancer and because Obama is a "normal" guy and because he bought ice cream for his wife.

The  stories were a nice touch, but it quickly turned into a sickening sweet feeling. I don't feel like I know the "presidential" Obama any better or why I should support his candidacy any more than I did 4 hours ago. I think all the personal stories were at complete odds with any policies that Obama support.

This is what happens when a Senator who was in office for less than 200 days before he decided to run for President of the greatest country on earth. I would hire tonight's Democrats for my next inspirational speaking gig but not for Commander in Chief!

10:59pm
KMC: What is Juan Williams talking about in regard to not ever having seen "such a thing" in terms of a black woman addressing the nation at a national convention? Did we forget that Condi Rice - did - TWICE?

10:56pm
KMC: The "hi daddy" stuff was cute... once...

10:54pm
KMC: Isn't it wonderful that Michelle Obama can describe such a beautiful relationship with her own daughters? Isn't it wonderful that she can describe the tenderness with which Obama felt the tug of fatherhood with all seriousness. I guess it's really good that neither of them were partially delivered, or discovered to have Downs syndrome - because it would be obvious that he would have let them die in soiled utility closets...

10:49pm
KMC: Major canard there - women were not being paid differently in Illinois than men... She made it appear that he did something that he did not do...
LOVELY: What does a "world class" pre-school education look like?

10:48pm
KMC: Im sorry what did she say? Why does she love this country? Because the thread of history has now found this new found hope?
10:45pm
KMC: The "make it if you try" mantra is NOT a talking point that is well appreciated in the Jesse Jackson camp. I have to believe that the Obamas' emphasis on personal responsibility is not something that the old guard civil rights crew is going to be pleased by...

LOVELY: And when you are working hard to reach your dreams, the government taxes the heck out of you and discourages you from trying to earn as much as possible

10:41pm
FAITH AMMEN: "You work hard for what you want in life"...then why do you support your husband's policy of a big brother government who gives unlimited handouts?

10:40pm
KMC: Is Michelle a feminist? She needs a protector?
10:35pm
FAITH AMMEN: Michelle Obama pales in comparison to so many average women who don't get propped up as heroes...My mom gave up her engineering job at Xerox to stay at home with me...she's worked at homeless shelters, taught english to refugees, takes lunch to the elderly (through meals on wheels)...why is Michelle so special?

10:32pm
FAITH AMMEN:  This is so canned, scripted, and forced. There is no genuineness, no thought provoking images or illustrations, no appeals to reality...just 100% sappy music and sappy lines wrapped up in sappy movies...

10:29pm
FAITH AMMEN: There's no real examples of who Michelle Obama is...just "she's so nice..." "she's so compassionate..."
10:25pm - **Michelle Obama Video**
FAITH AMMEN:  Michelle falls for ice cream!
9:53pm
KMC: Just got the word that Don Miller - emergent church guru - will be offering the closing benediction tonight... evidently not all that concerned with associating his "Christianity" with Barack Obama's infanticide...
Come on you emergent homies - explain that one...

9:44pm
KMC:  what is CNN doing?
9:39pm
KMC: For a guy with a brain tumor, he was remarkably lucid and on point. Overall not a bad showing for Kennedy. And he was able to articulate his socialist ideas perhaps as strongly as ever. They were nonetheless socialist utopia silliness... that make wonderful prose, but not a strong possible reality...

9:36pm
LOVELY: Health care that involves standing in line like we all love to do at the DMV.

9:33pm

9:27pm
KMC: But the Kennedy family has undermined every war effort America has been a part of going back to World War I...
FAITH AMMEN:  EVERY person who has spoken has said "faith and family are so important." Memo to the Democrats: he mantra doesn't work if it is just a slogan...

9:24pm

9:23pm
Lindsay Matlock: He did say he has a "special commitment" to justice... however that may look...
9:22pm

9:21pm
FAITH AMMEN:  Caroline Kennedy fails to realize that "achieving the American Dream" has never come about because of government handouts but personal work ethic. Senators are not the ones who hand out "the American Dream." Welfare has never helped anyone find their American Dream.
9:17pm - CAROLINE KENNEDY
KMC: "...To pay tribute to two men who have changed America?"
Lindsay Matlock:  Faith noticed that every speaker has mentioned "faith and family."  It is funny how relative the definitions of "faith and family" can be.
9:14pm
FAITH AMMEN:  Six percent of the delegates this year are gay and lesbian (about 250)
9:05pm
KMC:  CLASSIC - H&C opens their hour of coverage with the Hillary vs. Obama debate - again forcing the issue and making the Obama team overstate the "unity" issue. I also had relayed to me when doing the Ed Morrissey, "Hot Air" show today that ALL of Hillary's senior staff is leaving Denver following Bill Clinton's speech on Wednesday - thus causing Obama's "historic" thursday to be absent of any Hillary's team. Also VERY telling that Terry McCaulliffe has been on the screen for nearly six minutes now - and has not once said anything by way of personal or Hillary'esque in support of Obama. He keeps saying "we have to be unified" not "we're all behind Barack baby."

8:58pm

8:46pm
KMC: (On Fox) Juan Williams in summary: "Joe Biden helps Obama win the 'Cougar' vote!"

8:43pm
FAITH AMMEN:  How can Jesse Jackson Jr show his face with his father out talking about cutting Obama's n*ts off? "Obama has a remarkable career in the Senate?" Is this the same Senator who was in office for 163 days before he decided to run for President?

LOVELY:  About the other topic, though...I definitely think Obama's camp is "protesting too much" when it comes to their current status with Hillary. The questions surrounding why he wouldn't have her as a running mate are just too easy to speculate on, and his camp is too quick to dismiss them as irrelevant.

8:42pm
FAITH AMMEN:  On Jimmy Carter's video: I agree that volunteers played a huge role. Hurricane Katrina happened my freshman year of college. I remember spending a Saturday morning in a Walmart parking lot loading diapers and canned foods into a huge truck. I also remember 100 of my fellow students who spent their fall break helping the victims of the Hurricane. But to insinuate that our government did not do anything is both irresponsible and inaccurate. $16.7 billion taxpayer dollars went to help Louisiana. There is a very detailed plan of what our government.


8:35pm
LOVELY:  Different topic--sorry--but I love that there are protesters in Denver who are defending the "rights" of the terrorsists being held at Guantanamo the terrorists who wouldn't think twice about killing them if they got the chance.

8:31pm
Lindsay Matlock:  CNN came out with a pole this morning that 27% of Hillary supporters are not just unsure about Obama, they are flat out voting for McCain.  If that is true then I don't think they can respond too heavily until that 27% is down to 0.

DON'T MISS the profile of Michelle Malkin in the Baltimore Sun!

"What's funny is that minority conservatives are almost universally accused of being self-loathing," she says. "That needs to be turned on its head. We're the ones who love what this country has allowed us to do. There's nothing self-loathing about me. I love my life. I love my family. I love this country."

When you've read the whole thing drop a note to Jonathan Pitts, it is certain he will take some heat for doing his job and being so fair.

"Heh he he he heh he he heh!"
