What meaty stuff has she done?

The East Bumblefuk comment wasn't intended to suggest she's a hick, it was meant to deride the size, or lack thereof, of her constituency.

This election has to be the most exciting election for young people, an election that actually means something. There are way too many young people voting, and history has never seen this before.

I am still confused by the choice of Palin, but I am on vacation. I guess I'll figure this out when I am back in office...

Anyhow, victory is still too early to predict. But one thing for sure, "change" is on everyone's mind, and Obama is leading in that arena.

Oh I do want to add one comment about Palin. I have never seen a nobody that went to a no-name school (and didn't even have the right major) and without an advance degree being on a huge political ticket. It does make me feel better about her though, I guess GOP is responding to Democrat's "anybody can be somebody".

Robroy, interesting story on the Rather documents. The issue you really run into, at least from the viewpoint of "getting" Rather, is that it's impossible to prove or disprove that he was complicit to the forgery. Proving 100% that they were forgeries, only proves that the guy who made them did so intentionally. In such cases, one treads the fine line between character assassination if he's innocent or letting him get away with wrong doing if he's not.

It's just like when someone is caught plagiarizing. They always say "the quote was unintentional, but I must have related so strongly to that passage that I accidentally typed it in" or "I just forgot to cite that source, it'll be fixed in the next revision". At that point, what do you believe? I will agree the documents in question appear to be forged, but I was just pointing out that there still appears to be some disagreement over even that part of the case, let alone how much blame is attributable to whom. Exciting to actually be involved in something like that though.
