Grandpa McCain is A Liar

Putting Yourself Before Your Family

News broke today that the daughter of presumptive VP nominee Sarah Palin is pregnant and planning to marry her 17-year-old boyfriend. She's apparently five months along, and we assume that her parents knew about this prior to accepting the appointment as Grandpa McCain's running mate.

If this is indeed the case, and knowing that the national media was going to focus on your daughter's personal life intensely as part of the campaign, why would you put her through this? It stumps me.

The only thing I can think is that Governor Palin cares more about her career than her family. Family values? Hmmmmmmmm?

And, by the way, imagine if Joe Biden's teenaged unmarried daughter was preggers? He'd be crucified.

Will Texas Do It?

Well, this is interesting! Obama has pretty much caught up to Billary in this recent CNN poll from Texas! It's now Clinton 50, Obama 48. This could be the one that helps put HRC out of her misery. If so, I will have to figure out a suitable gift of gratitude when we go to Austin in April!

And just to prove I can keep an eye on both sides, I understand Grandpa McCain decided he would take the "no new taxes" pledge on the day that his colleague, Bush 41, endorses him. That worked out really well for him, no? What a great harbinger of things to come. Pretty funny timing, if you ask me.

PS: JD, you're also responsible for making sure Vermont votes properly, too!
