#2 "We can't make John black, we can't make him a woman," bemoaned Elizabeth Edwards, whose husband is running a distant third.

Well, you can't make him black...

#3 Obama's Church
Presidential candidate Barack Obama preaches on the campaign trail that America needs a new consensus based on faith and bipartisanship, yet he continues to attend a controversial Chicago church whose pastor routinely refers to "white arrogance" and "the United States of Whiter America." In fact, Obama was in attendance at the church when these statements were made on July 22.
...
# Wright on 9/11: "White America got their wake-up call after 9/11. White America and the Western world came to realize people of color had not gone away, faded in the woodwork, or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns." On the Sunday after the attacks, Dr. Wright blamed America.

Much more at link.

#4 Painting the former First Lady as the ultimate Washington insider is a message that resonates in a country in which Congress is every bit as unpopular as Bush.

The last poll I saw suggested Congress is radically less popular than the President. And from what I can make out, the President's current popularity has suffered most from perception of weakness on the war, weakness on border security, weakness on illegal immigration, weakness on China, the Saudis, the Iranians, etc. etc. etc.

Elizabeth, if you're into black women, hey, to each his own.

#8 "We can't make John black, we can't make him a woman," bemoaned Elizabeth Edwards, whose husband is running a distant third.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that.

#9 The only thing the GOP needs to do to win in '08 is educate about 10% of the Americans who don't know it already that the Democrats want to make America indistinguishable from Europe.

How hard can that be?

#10 How many Americans realize what EUrope is really like?

#11 At the current rate of decline of the dhimocrats, they should have no problem completely losing everything in a '08 landslide.

However, the race really hasn't even started yet. The runners are still jocking for starting position.

#12 John Edwards is what he am... and he apparently is one who serially sends his wife out to talk for him.

#13 The Democratic Party is devoid of ideas and leadership. It uses the same old tired formula for trying to win elections. There don't seem to be any adults in the party. The far left has taken over the party. You would have to look hard to find a conservative Democrat. That animal just doesn't exist any more. The people in the party seem to be a shrill bunch of carping, nitpicking whiners and losers. They don't seem to have any national pride or patriotism.

#14 Jay Leno is right, every time the Democrats debate, George W. Bush's approval rating goes up 5 points.
