55 days to go so anyway, the leftist media (redundancy alert) keep looking for the scandal that will end Sarah Palin's historic VP nomination. They're not coming up with much. Q and O parses the Washington Post's story: So what's the scandal? Three pages to tell us she works within the law on travel and per diem expenses and that some (the reporters) may question the legitimacy of her claims even if Alaska law and policy seem to support them. I'm simply outraged. What will they find next? Improper labeling of moose meat stored in her freezer? Funny, but most people do not believe Senator Obama when he says he's not going to take your guns: Gun sales are going boom around the country as gun owners and gun advocates brace for a potential Democrat in the White House for the first time in almost 10 years....."We call it the Obama factor. People are very concerned that if a Democrat is elected they will see more restrictions on handguns and assault rifles." Godell said. "I think as a result of that we have seen steady handgun sales, and there's been an increase in the sale of assault rifles like AK-47s, as well." Over at The Next Right, they're looking at the various polls and are seeing some good stuff: White women have moved from 50-42 percent in Obama's favor before the conventions to 53-41 percent for McCain now, a 20-point shift in the margin that's one of the single biggest post-convention changes in voter preferences. The other, also to McCain's advantage, is in the battleground Midwest, where he's moved from a 19-point deficit to a 7-point edge. And that's from the new ABC/WaPo poll. In other news, S.Weasel has the new Obama logo. See this to understand what being a "community organizer" looks like. more soon.
