Sarah Palin won’t help McCain

The Speech

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05udZa68P4U[/youtube]   John Kerry's speech was one of the best.  If you missed it due to ego-driven pundits flapping their jaws about nothing please watch it now.  It perfectly contrasts…

Real Issues: Education

Al Giordano is the type of blogger who has me nodding my head through his every post.

Let me be clear, I am surrounded by Hillary supporters who seem to delight in every Obama “misstep”. It doesn’t matter what I say, they are constantly telling me what Obama should do.
