I read your article on sen.Kennedy, I could only disagree with you more. This man is the reason congress is screwed up along with the reids and pelosis. This man should have been accused of manslaughter but daddy's name paid his way to freedom. The kennedy's of the 60's were the most dispicable human beings ever.John had the white house as a bordelo he had more women in different hotels that would have made bill clinton look like a baby. His brother robert was a cover up atty general and just recently teddy while his nephew was sexually harrassing a female at the palm beach estate he was in his underwear walking around the mansion. the only one's that have some class in that family is maria shriver and jackie's daughter and the late john.It is unfortunate that he is ill but he is no catholic he is a vote getter and when the fire heats up you need to have principals which he has none.ciao

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but -- the disgruntled Hillary Clinton
supporters can now vote for McCain/Palin assuming McCain will serve only one
term and Hillary Clinton can run against Palin in 2012.
Does anyone doubt that the Obama political juggernaugt rolled over Hillary
Clinton without giving her adequate respect and consideration?
Can the Democrats point out that Palin has "no experience" without raising
the issue of whether or not experience counts?
There are several factions in the United States that are not enamoured with
Obama: white racists, gun nuts, veterans, flag waving patriots, Catholics,
evangelical Christians and some Hillary supporting women.
Obama will lose because the pollsters will get wrong as they did in 1948.
In reference to 1948 -- the GOP criticized Truman for speaking at every
"whistle stop." Yesterday the Obama campaign criticized Palin for being
the Mayor of a small town. That could backfire for the Democrats -- and
it certainly smacks of elitism.
My best wishes to you.

I have to admit that I agree with you and I am grateful that you were honest. If I hear McCain will be a continuation of Bush one more time I will vomit. McCain was a thorn in Bush's side for most of his two terms. Thank you Susan for writing about this. I do have to question the motive though. After reading how Hillary congratulated Palin and now reading this article has convinced me that Hillary is looking at the next presidential election. Hillary forced Obama to congratulate Palin by her reaction to the selection. I am not a fan of Hillary but I have to admire her shrewedness.

One of the great things about Sarah Palin's nomination is that the bigots in the media no longer have an excuse. They can't claim their antipathy was directed against Hillary Clinton because she's Hillary Clinton, not because she's a woman.

Anyone who doubts the news media's prejudice should search for the exchange between CNN's John Roberts and Dana Bash where he wonders if a VP Palin will have time to care for her disabled daughter.

Regarding Hillary Clinton not making the Republican ticket for the presidential candidate, Estrich needs to get over it. Most of America does not want the Clintons again in the White House running their own show. And show it was!
