What does this have to do with anything? Sheesh. This guy never answers questions and always post vague innuendos. Why does he bother coming here? To provide humor, for which we thank him?

Did know that Haydn Lake, Id, about 15 miles south of Sand Point was the headquarters of the White Supremacy Party? Wrong again Kenneth. You really ought to update your research. First off, near as I can tell, there is no such thing as the "White Supremacy Party." Moreover, see below: Hayden Lake is a city in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. The population was 494 at the 2000 census. From 1970 until 2001, the headquarters of the Neo-Nazi organization Aryan Nations, was at the Lake, but the property has since been acquired by North Idaho College who turned it into a "peace park." There are many fine, upstanding people in Northern Idaho. Should we hold it against you if it turns out that someone in your town is a child molestor or serial rapist? I think not.

How McCain settled on Palin, whom he first met six months ago, remains a mystery outside his small inner circle of advisors. She doesn't seem an ideal fit for a campaign that has focused intensely on foreign policy expertise and has attacked Obama for his relative lack of experience in that area. At 44, she is three years younger than Obama and 21 years younger than Biden. She was elected governor in 2006 and formerly was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, population 7,000 or so. McCain apparently made his decision after a telephone conversation with Palin last weekend and a face-to-face meeting Thursday at his home in Sedona, Ariz. "On its face, it looks like a gut decision," said a Republican strategist who requested anonymity when discussing McCain's judgment. "But it also speaks to a very hyper-political decision. Obviously, he doesn't have any history with Sarah Palin. He doesn't know her. It seems to be a calculated push toward gaining women voters." The surprise pick underscored a go-it-alone style that often has alienated McCain's Senate colleagues -- and left them scratching their heads. Many Republicans struggled Friday to praise McCain's choice, simply because they knew little about Palin. In one awkward exchange on CNN, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, who had been mentioned as a dark-horse candidate, said she didn't know the Alaska governor. Hutchison was one of several Republican women who had been mentioned as possible running mates for McCain, including former business executives Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina. Democrats on Friday said McCain had passed over more qualified contenders, such as Sen. Olympia J. Snowe of Maine. Polls show that McCain could improve his standing among women. Though he is winning 47% of the white female vote, there is room for him to exploit the disaffection of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton backers who have not warmed to Obama. And Palin could win McCain more support from working-class women. But it is not clear that Palin would pull in voters who had been drawn to Clinton's advocacy for women's rights -- including abortion rights -- and her decades of experience. Palin began her courtship of that constituency Friday, invoking the legacy of Geraldine Ferraro, who, as the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 1984, became the first woman to run on a national major-party ticket. Palin also pledged to finish Clinton's work and "shatter that glass ceiling once and for all." If she succeeds in drawing more female voters and gains acceptance as a potential commander in chief, Palin's selection will have paid off. But if her image wilts under the most intense scrutiny of her life, McCain's gut could prove to be his downfall. peter.wallsten@latimes.com
