P.T.A. --words of wisdom from Sylvia H.
I received an excellent new way to refer to the acronym "P.T.A." from Sylvia Hadash, a friend of mine from Manassas, VA. It's
P RESIDENTIAL
T RAINING
A RENA
and do you know what? There isn't a darn thing wrong with that! What better training ground than state and local politics, the senate, more....Hey, this nonsequitur (sic) should go on a tee shirt and bumper sticker! It makes sense.
And for anyone that says that John McCain is too old, Sylvia countered, "Ronald Reagan was 70 when he accepted the oath of office."
Yes, he was.
We have nothing to worry about.
McCain + Palin, carry on! Campaign VS Obama and Biden. And OBAMA: reminder: lipstick on a pitbull, not a pig (!)

Oprah Winfrey wants Obama. Case closed.
Watch out. Hell hath no fury like a moose herd scorned -- with lipstick!
From NEWSDAY: Five reasons Gov. Sarah Palin should appear on Oprah:
Well, I suppose the big flap of the moment has to do with Oprah and Drudge; she claims some report he filed today is bogus, and even went so far as to issue a denial; it's no big deal, really, though DRUDGE (as usual) is pumping this for all it's worth. The post claim: that Oprah's staff is divided on whether she should have Sarah Palin as a guest, with Oprah insisting that she shouldn't come on.
O went so far as to issue a denial, and she does that very very rarely - in fact, I can't even remember an instance when she has.
"The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over."
Now, let me just give you the benefit of my expertise on Oprah: There's no such thing as a "divided" staff out there in Chicago. She is the Queen. They are her subjects. There are no disputes with the Queen, and that is that.
But Oprah's also in the bag for Obama and has made no secret of that either; said she, for example of his recent speech, "What I saw with Barack Obama was something that was transcendent and I felt transformational for me as a human being and for this country. And I only pray in the deepest part of my being that America will rise to this moment. And I feel that what he was able to offer us as individual citizens and as a united country was something that we have never seen before. I really, I think it's the most powerful thing I've ever experienced."
Fine, now, here are five reasons why O should have Palin on:
1.) To talk about motherhood, her family and Bristol; if you're really hung up on politics, O, then this doesn't have to be a "political" debriefing at all, per se, but a larger look at even more important issues, which your show claims to care about.
2.) It'd get a huge number. Hell yeah! Perhaps one of the biggest numbers in "O" history. This is a mercenary business, O, in case you've forgotten.
3.) It'd get the show back to that sweet spot of "relevance" and "news-worthiness." Wonderful to have all 150-or-so Olympians on Monday's season premiere, but the Olympics are old news; Palin is fresh news.
4.) Of course, it's O's right to support Obama in whatever forum she chooses, but she's simply too transcendent - her word - a cultural figure to pretend she's lil' ol' objective and non-political Oprah on her show, and yet Obama's most important supporter in the WORLD when she's not on screen. That's a silly artifice, transparent to all. Why not get Palin on and say, "OK, lady, I happen to think this guy walks on water. Now you tell me why he doesn't, and let's go at this." That would be great TV, and far better than a dreary debate between Palin and Joe Biden.
5.) O helped secure at least a million addition votes for Obama but probably lost hundreds of thousands of McCain supporter-viewers - if not more - to her show in the process. Here's her chance to say to everyone, "I have a right to support whomever I choose, and now to prove to you just how open-minded I am, here's the gun-toting mama from Alaska on the show."

McCain tells Woodward: "Everything is F * * * * * * spin!" re: Bush WHO: and, how!
DRUDGE REPORTS :
In new book, Woodward quotes McCain: 'Everything is f---ing spin'... and McCain is correct!
You know, my blog is dedicated to S * P * I * N and consequences!
The book is by Bob Woodward, the beltway stalwart, with absolutely no sympathy for George.
from FOX NEWS: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,417064,00.html
Bush refused to grant an interview to Woodward for "Denial," but gave the author several interviews for "War Within." Such increased access did not seem to improve Woodward’s opinion of Bush.
"President Bush has rarely leveled with the public to explain what he was doing and what should be expected," wrote Woodward, an assistant managing editor at the Washington Post, in "War Within." "He did not seek sacrifice from most of the country when he had the chance. He did not even mobilize his own party. Republicans often voiced as much suspicion and distrust as Democrats. The president was rarely the voice of realism on the Iraq war."
On the other hand, Woodward acknowledged the success of Bush’s surge of additional troops into Iraq in 2007.
"Violence was down so much in a few places that some U.S. soldiers were not receiving combat action badges because there was no fighting in their area," he wrote.
Woodward notes that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposed the surge, while GOP presidential candidate John McCain was “advocating more troops for years.” Woodward also quotes McCain expressing frustration with the Bush White House, clenching his fists in the West Wing and exclaiming to Woodward: “Everything is f---ing spin.”

is it over....yet? If Russert says it's over, does a FAT lady have to sing to get her off the political stage?
Russert (
Key of Bb, please! )
Our republican candidate is a shell of the man he was in 2000, before Bush ate him for lunch. And now, with gas prices soaring to $4.00, we need McCain OUT!
it's

Gov. Bill Richardson, LA TIMES: 'you don't transfer loyalty to a dynasty.'
CAMPAIGN '08
Why Gov. Bill Richardson didn't endorse Clinton
Photo: Shari Vialpando / Associated Press
Gov. Bill Richardson, shown here in New Mexico on Tuesday, has drawn criticism from supporters of Bill and Hillary Clinton for endorsing Sen. Barack Obama. "I was loyal," Richardson says. "But I don't think that loyalty is transferable to his wife.... You don't transfer loyalty to a dynasty."
The New Mexico governor says he was dismayed by pressure from the Clinton camp, and impressed by Obama's optimism. Besides, 'you don't transfer loyalty to a dynasty.'
