(by Texas Hill Country at No Quarter, cross-posted from his blog, Texas Hill Country) With the explosion of support that McCain is seeing in the last week, there can only be one explanation… Sarah Palin. She, at once, unified the evangelical base, small town America, and offered centrist and Independent women another option. And it scared the bejesus out of the Obama campaign… Palin exceeded all expectations [at the convention], striking back with amazing strength and a smile that killed. Palin hit Obama hard, making fun of Obama’s claim to fame as a Community Organizer and attacking him on his experience, sending the Obama campaign reeling.

Do you have your head on backwards?? McCain is Bush lite!!!! Obama represents everything opposite of Bush! What the hell are you even talking about? McCain wants to continue the war, voted against banning waterboarding (a favorite of Bush), and doesn't know squat about economics! Obama wants to approach things differently, and try to fix our damaged reputation in the world. And HOW can you go from Hillary to McCain? Hillary and McCain are opposites! Go ahead, betray your party, and Your BELIEFS and vote McCain. Guess you don't care about women's rights, cause Palin sure doesn't! Are you kidding? Do you have your head on backwards??

Hillary has staunch supporters who worked their hearts out for her among the rank and file of that party. Her foundation of belief is their platform, UHC etc. She has no choice, she must carry water for their messiah even though it was obvious she long knew he could not win the general and wasn't Pres material. She must FIX the party from within and she cannot do that until they lose of their own accord and then turn to the party faithful centrists to fix it - as they ALWAYS do after such mistakes. She is a Dem senator from NY. How do you think she could win re-election to her seat if she had turned on Ob and the party? Do you think she (and Bill)should have had a fit of rage and left the party and bashed it and joined McPalin along with Lieberman? Look how that worked out for Joe! Nope, her hands were tied and she has to do as told. But when this election process is over - the Clinton's will have the floor for 4 years to tell it all and run Hillary in '12. And you can bet when the republicans are done with BO there won't be much left of him but small change. Is it fair or good? No it isn't. But Hillary has my unwavering support, then, now and always. Nobama, Nohow, Noway. Hillary 2012. Hill Dem,

One thing to consider before you rail against Hill giving an endorsement to ob now is that Bill is the head of the Democratic party as most recent President.

She must FIX the party from within and she cannot do that until they lose of their own accord and then turn to the party faithful centrists to fix it – as they ALWAYS do after such mistakes.

She is a Dem senator from NY. How do you think she could win re-election to her seat if she had turned on Ob and the party?

Nope, her hands were tied and she has to do as told.

But when this election process is over – the Clinton’s will have the floor for 4 years to tell it all and run Hillary in ’12. And you can bet when the republicans are done with BO there won’t be much left of him but small change.

Is it fair or good? No it isn’t. But Hillary has my unwavering support, then, now and always.

Nobama, Nohow, Noway.

Hillary 2012.

Those who suggest otherwise are not true Hillary supporters. I suspect most are Republicans who could lose the conditional support for McCain if they keep dragging Hillary into another fight.

I was really looking for an alternative to Obama to vote for but I had to make sure McCain wasn't going to choose some really extreme right winger. If he had chosen Romney, eww, I don't know if I could have voted for that ticket. McCain and Palin are very, very tempting. I wonder if others were like me, just waiting to make sure McCain didn't pick someone they couldn't live with?

The bottom line is to get rid of the current leaders of the Democratic party and put the Clintons back in power. I miss Hillary and the way she speaks about the issues. However, the MSM never spoke positively about that. All they care is about how popular and charismatic Obama is. They never even mentioned his thin resume and his thin accomplishment. A vote for McCain/Palin is a vote for the more exprienced person. Furthermore, it a vote to rid the Democratic party of its current leaders - Obama, Pelosi and Dean. vote for McCain/Palin. I agree.
