Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and her husband Todd hold their baby boy Trig Paxson Van Palin in Anchorage, Alaska, on April 23. When the Palins learned their son would have Down syndrome, there was never any doubt they would have the child. "Every innocent life has wonderful potential," said Palin.As anyone who's frequently visited this blog knows, my admiration for Gov. Palin, her husband, and their children is almost boundless. Gov. Palin's 18-year-old-son, Track, is an infantryman in the U.S. Army.
I hope that when it comes to selecting his vice-presidential running mate that John McCain does the right thing -- and selects Sarah. She and Todd are role models and exemplars for all Americans. God bless Sarah, Todd, Track, Willow, Bristol, Piper, and Trig. Alaska loves you already and eventually the rest of America will.
Note: I have a new column up on my other national blog: http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com/. It deals with the relationship between the McCain Campaign and some critical races for the U.S. House. I urge you to visit. Thanks. On this blog tonight I'll be criticizing the Hillary-Barack exercise in political vaudeville. They should both be ashmed of themselves, but apparently shame is not their strong suit. They both seem to believe that pandering to people with low intelligence is the key to victory.
9 p.m. It's finally happened: I'm getting bored with the Democratic Primaries and the endless streams of nonsense that come out of the candidates mouths. Apparently, Obama has won NC by a significant amount. Apparently, Clinton has won Indiana by a relatively small margin.
My biggest question: who is voting for these two people? Some 91% of Blacks are voting for Obama. Mrs. Clinton's problem is that she isn't getting 91% (or even 61%) of the White vote.
Barack wins good-sized states (Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia) by chalking up huge majorities in Black precincts. In white caucus states, with few people taking the time to participate, he gets most of his votes from far-left liberals, Moveon.org-types. Thus, Obama will become the Democratic nominee. His scum of the earth are more numerous than her scum of the earth.
He's a terrible candidate, but I guess he's exactly what today's Democat Party wants. Poor them. Poor us.
