    Yup, it looks like McCain did drink the Koolaid in picking Palin. Whether it’s censorship or trying to whack anyone critical of her, she would take us through another round of Bush-Cheney. Talk about more of the same!

    “To his credit, Obama promises to nominate candidates of diverse backgrounds with “feeling for what ordinary people are going through.” His non-ideological approach would broaden the spectrum of eligible talent considered for the bench as well as appointed positions in his presidency.”

    No, I’m sure Obama will never appoint anyone with an eye on their world-view or politics.  Just take them in order of application time-stamp, just as long as they seem to care. 

    And I’m sure Clinton or Carter or Johnson or Kennedy never asked anyone any questions other than Will you look out for ordinary people’s feelings?

    I’ve seen campaign commercials more representative of reality than this article.
