Jim, decisions for McCain are being made by a group of extreme right wingers headed by Karl Rove. When McCain's numbers were not picking up and when they saw that Hillary would not be their opponent the right wing forced McCain's hands. The few states in middle America will soon see through this, recall the harrowing experience of a puppet Bush with Cheney as the puppet master and get serious about Barack again.

The Palin Gamble She's not ready to be president but she improved McCain's odds Sep 5, 2008 \| Updated: 1:03 p.m. ET Sep 5, 2008 A radio talk-show host thought she was putting me on the spot. "As a woman, are you torn?" she asked. "No, this is easy for me," I replied. "I'm with the polar bears." Anyone who saw Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," will remember the image of the polar bear swimming miles in search of diminishing ice floes in the Arctic. Gov. Sarah Palin is suing the Bush administration on behalf of the state of Alaska to overturn the decision to add polar bears to the endangered-species list. The Bushies are hardly radical environmentalists. It's Palin who is on the far right of the ideological axis that governs so much of our political debate. At the same time, she is a political natural, skewering the opposition with a down-home smile. Amidst the electricity she generated in St. Paul, it seems churlish to raise such pesky issues as her belief that global warming is not man-made and her opposition to abortion without exception for rape and incest. The Obama campaign better hurry up and draw the contrast before America falls in love with the hockey mom. read more......... newsweek.com
