Big Business knew they could trust Bush. They will have more of a problem with Palin...she really does think with her "gut".

When she brags she taxed big oil, she did. She did that to the point that production was way down in Alaska, when oil was at it's high.

Lieberman didn't just campaign against Obama. He campaigned against Franken and for Coleman, too.

Lieberman was actively trying to keep the Dems from having a filibuster proof majority. That is unacceptable.

The Repubs are offering Lieberman nothing except a seat at their table. The Dems are not obligated to offer him much more than that to be fair.

I agree that if she actually were to get the Republican nomination, she'd be scary. Any Republican by default gets at least 40% of the vote.

But I relish the fight that would ensue with a business friendly Repub (and all the money that backs him) like Romney and a Palin. I relish the thought of a smarter religious right spokesperson, Huckabee or Jindal, arguing with Palin.

Can you imagine the Republican debates?

I imagine that a brutal Repub primary will drive a wedge between the business Repubs and the evangelicals...if it's Palin.

"I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B. Anthony

So the proof in this incredulous article, is someone named James Santiago voted, and there was a dead James Santiago in FL. His son confirmed that his father, James is dead.

You're right, there could be no possible other explanation for such an uncommon name like Santiago voting in the Florida.

The same thing happened with the vote "fraud" cases, people screaming that even "Duran Duran" registered to vote. Then it turned out Duran Duran was a US citizen living in New Mexico and a registered voter.

We better purge all the Joseph Taylors and Mike Smith's from all rolls nationwide, because I would bet money that I could find that both of these guys died in October. I probably could find 100's of them voted nationwide, there must be a plot.

Next up there were a number of people named Garcia and Vu that voted in California. I wonder if they all voted multiple times.... Quick, set Lou Dobbs on it, especially the Garcia case.

You're so right. We need to search all databases and find all the egregious voters that mailed their absentee ballots in before they up and died.

That grandmother of Obama's is a perfect case in point.

This changes everything!

great name for a Burning Man Camp! Thanks Electro.

I read that it is a Committee of 12 Senators that decide this issue. Obama is not on it, though Barbara Boxer is, so I called her office and left my message.

I do not believe in Dem Party purges, but that does not mean I think Lieberman needs to be rewarded with some powerful position when he was against many of the things the Dems stood for.

I have no doubt I'll agree with 95% f Obama's orders, but it still gives too much control. I don't want Palin (or any one similar) to wield that same pen in 2012 or 2016 and just as easily undo what I hold dear.

Obama will have a friendly Congress, he can do things the old fashioned way and prevent future abuses, if he wants.

I don't want to have to rely on a "benevolent" President.

I also share your concern, but with one thought.

I am reading that Bush is writing (up to 100's) of executive orders in these last few months, if Obama simply undoes them, is that acceptable? Isn't that just taking things back to the status quo?

In a perfect world this power will be taken away from a President, but power once given is rerely thrown away and I trusted only two candidates in that respect and they were "fringe".

Darnit! (so as not to offend the Family Research Council and the children Joe Scarborough is normally so worried about)

You made all of my points faster and more to the point....

A few things, and I certainly don't speak of anyone other than myself.

My guess as to why GG's not posting much on Rahm is he's taking a wait and see position, much like he is with Obama. I daresay if Obama were to pick Addington or Yoo to be on his transition team, or lead the Justice Dept. you might see some righteous indignation. I have no doubt GG'll criticize both Obama and Rahm when the occasion warrants, that might even be sooner than some of us want, now that we are in a little bit of a "honeymoon" phase.

Secondly, it's not like this topic (Rahm) isn't being done elsewhere, and if one of those reporters or bloggers goes of unhinged one way or the other, GG might report on that. GG didn't go all Palin all the time, like many others from both the Left and Right, but every now and then a Palin statement could get him going, like her 1st Amendment comments.

And finally, while you are not being rude, you are also coming off as defensive, even if it's unintentional.

I didn't tape the JJ wardrobe malfunction (let alone show it too the grandkids), I just meant that the freeze frames of it were unavoidable in the weeks following.

I could barely escape it, and hadn't seen it first hand.
