Her story indicates that someone reared her to be self-reliant and assertive, and to believe in something, as well. Doesn't seem to be someone who reads MoDo very often or bemoans Jimmy Choo and Manolo omitting hunting boots from their Fall lines. Looks like a Keeper to me.

Woo. He was surprisingly calm over him. I've also gotten very fond of Manning. His observations are not PC all the time. And of all the colorful pastors this year, he actually mentions the Bible and Jesus. Like the one from Fred XX? Woo. He was surprisingly calm over him. I’ve also gotten very fond of Manning.

Sarah Palin's husband, Todd, is NOT EVEN being acknowledged as an able and loving father who can take care of their children! Gov. Palin said that she is lucky because her husband loves being a father as much as she loves being a mother, and he will be taking on the Mr. Mom role, so to speak. Not only would the media never ask if a male politician was a good father for having a baby at the house, they also failed to think that the father could take care of his own children!

As usual, you focus on difficult issues. Am I mistaken, or was there a time when it was considered politically incorrect to raise questions about a candidate's qualifications by calling attention to their race or their sex? Now, that all seems to have disappeared, and a candidate's race and sex seem to be at the forefront of discussions about whether a presidential nominee or running mate can be an outstanding leader. Will most black people vote for Obama because he is black rather than because they see him as qualified? Is the fact that he had a black father and a white mother an important consideration in how one will vote? Did McCain pick Palin as VP running mate because he thinks that she, being a woman, can win over the disaffected angry Hillary supporters to his camp? Will the that fact she is a totally prolife woman lose her the support of prochoice women and men? Why didn't McCaiin pick a black woman instead of a white woman? Wouldn't that have won him the support of more black voters? Did he think there are no qualified black women? I guess my main point is that now that race and sex are at the forefront of people's minds, even though they may act like it doesn't matter, the real issues of who can lead the country out of the morass of Bush's political bungling, foreign policy blunders, and economic mess, seems to be sliding into the background. We now have people who will vote for McCain/Palin, if for nothing else, because they are angry that Hillary didn't get the nod. Or perhaps that a charismatic black man of little experience won over a highly qualified white woman? I think we all need to try to focus on the real issues of significance for this country in the days ahead, try to separate out the hype and fiction from the facts, examine the specific plans to be laid out by the nominees, look past the irrelevant dirty slams which will be made by both parties, and above all think carefully about what the future of this country will look like if McCain or Obama is elected in November. This is what I plan to do as well as resist being pushed by either party to vote one way or another. I am hoping the debates or town hall meetings, if they occur, will help make the choice more clear prior to November. Nice going, Pat. As usual, you focus on difficult issues.
