Very little of what you say is accurate.

For the past two years, there has been ongoing dialogue about Obama's experience. Whether you believe he is experienced or not, he consistently has shown he is ready to be Commander in Chief. That came across very clearly in the debate Friday nite.

What you call extremism is the kind of thinking that what will benefit many Americans. 95% of Americans will either experience no tax increase or a tax decrease under Obama. Instead of starting wars helter skelter, Obama will use other approaches in his arsenal first. Instead of deficit spending, we will have budget spending based on the revenue stream. What you call extremism, I call good ole Midwest pragmatism.

I agree with you.....its too late to dump Palin. He would look like even more of horse's ass than he does right now having picked her as his running mate.

McCain's biggest campaign mistake was to get off the experience issue. They would have had Obama on the ropes by this time, if they simply put his nonexistent resume before the American people. The man is obviously unqualified, but it was up to McCain to point that out because the media won't do it.

The second-biggest mistake has been the failure to make Obama's extremism known. The man is the most extreme candidate to ever run for the office, and McCain has failed miserably to convey it. The media refuses, because they're trying to elect him -- but it was up to McCain to do it and he hasn't.

If he dumped Palin he would have no chance. That is not a mistake you can make at this late date and survive.

David Brooks: Palin 'will rise to the level of mediocrity'

"I admire Sarah Palin for many things... but is she ready to be vice president?" Brooks said. "Based on what we've seen with the Katie Couric interview, it's embarassing, it's painful to watch those things, you want to turn them off."
