Peggy Noonan, no liberal, tears apart Failin’ Palin
Posted by Ted Hopton on October 18, 2008
I’m no fan of Peggy Noonan, and there is much in this column of hers that I don’t agree with, but it’s interesting to see a conservative’s analysis of Palin’s failings.

The Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama
Posted by Ted Hopton on October 12, 2008
The headline of this column might be misleading, implying that I think Obama is a terrorist. However, it’s just citing the line that the McCain campaign has been suggesting. The McCain campaign has crossed the line between tough negative campaigning and inciting vigilantism, and each day the mob howls louder.

Who You Callin’ a Maverick?
Posted by Ted Hopton on October 7, 2008
A Texas rancher’s descendant defends the liberal family’s name.
“[To] those who know the history of the word, applying it to Mr. McCain is a bit of a stretch — and to one Texas family in particular it is even a bit offensive.”

THIS is where Sarah Palin comes from!
Posted by Ted Hopton on October 7, 2008
The Daily Show skewers fools like no one else, and the Vice-Presidential Debate was rich raw material for their talents. I recommend checking out all they did about that, but to me the best thing they did was show Palin up by going to the Wasilla Main Street she keeps talking about. Yep, it’s really, really scary that she thinks those people are worth emulating. Is this really where we want our Vice President to come from?

Watched the VP debate with a good friend who commented that Palin would be a great PTA president — that’s what she is perfect for. Had to agree, really. And this flowchart she sent me today sums up Palin’s debate strategy perfectly:
