Blogger's Notes - this is huge. Charlie was counting on a strong Democrat ticket to get coat-tails to run with.

With Ose 1000% behind McClintock, any hopes of a divided base are dashed.

Charlie has yet to publicly endorse Barak Obama, even though a past post on this blog shows the Colonel with an Obambi sticker on his lapel.

It appears that even the most staunch Hillary supporters and old-line Jimmy Carter Democrats have caved into the reality of an Obama candidacy. Perhaps spurred by the lash and held by the yoke, the Democrat true believers are nonetheless jumping up and down. However, millions of decent hard-working blue dog Dems will be leaving the ticket in droves, either sitting on their hands or voting for McCain.
 
Among the undecided? Our own local Democrat "contender" C. Brown. When last asked if he was supporting the Democrat candidate, he told Eric Hogue, "uh, oh, uh" and despite being pressed never gave an answer.
 
Which is it Charlie? Can we expect you out on the hustings promoting the most liberal Democrat since Jimmy Carter? Or are you endorsing McCain?

Barak's Solution - Pick Joe Biden, he of racial slurs and plagerism.

McCain's solution - Pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, an outsider who upset the enitre GOP establishment in Alaska. Palin does represent change and she proved it with her actions.

Have a look at this: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin

Mother of five children, one has Down syndrome. Sportscaster, Beauty pageant contestant.  Played High school basketball and was leader of Conservative, pro-life Republican. 

Palin became the first woman to be Alaska's governor, and the youngest governor in Alaskan history.

Noted for her independence from big oil companies, while still promoting resource development. Helped Sean Parnell in his primary run against Congressman Don Young. 

In 2006, Palin, running on a clean-government campaign, executed an upset victory over then-Gov. Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary.[9] Despite the lack of support from party leaders and being outspent by her Democratic opponent, she went on to win the general election in November 2006, defeating former Governor Tony Knowles.[9] Palin said in 2006 that education, public safety, and transportation would be three cornerstones of her administration.

Brought to statewide attention because of her whistle blowing on ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders,[2] she won election in 2006 by first defeating the incumbent governor in the Republican primary, then a former Democratic Alaskan governor in the general election.

Highlights of Governor Palin's tenure include a successful push for an ethics bill, and also shelving pork-barrel projects supported by fellow Republicans. Palin successfully killed the Bridge to Nowhere project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending.
