What Goes Around Comes Around… Some people cannot leave well enough alone. Robert Jeffress, a Baptist preacher out of Dallas, and one of the most vocal and bigoted of all the anti-Mormon, anti-Romney religious far-rightists, has stuck his head up again. He featured prominently in the Article VI Movie, in perhaps its ugliest moment, as being unwilling to even declare himself a friend of a Mormon. Well, Peggy Fletcher Stack caught up with him speaking at the Religion Newswriters Association last week: “I believe we should always support a Christian over a non-Christian,”... (original story)

Mitt Romney would have made a better candidate than John McCain. . . . Romney is an effective speaker and telegenic. He comes across as vigorous, informed and confident.

Like many of things [McCain] has done in this campaign, it seems to have been done on impulse with the goal of shaking things up. Now that the bloom has come off the rose, what does he do next? He has until Thursday’s vice presidential debate to think of something, or to hope for a crisis that can require her to avoid the debate....in recent days it hasn’t been hard to find Mitt Romney on the talk circuit supporting McCain. Now of course lots of people thought that even though McCain apparently can’t stand Romney, that he would have been a better choice if anybody could have predicted... (original story)

Interesting points made by the savvy Michael Barone in an article for TOWNHALL.COM. It is a very sobering piece, especially his conclusion that Obama seems likely to win the election. I don’t like to root against Mr. Barone, but here’s hoping he’s wrong, just this once. http://townhall.com/columnists/MichaelBarone/2008/09/27/are_we_at_an_inflection_point by Michael Barone You can sum up much of 20th century history by saying that in the 1930s Americans decided that markets didn’t work and government did, and that in the 1970s Americans decided that government didnR...

John McCain's biggest weakness is the economy. Polls show that's becoming the 500-pound gorilla in this election, and that by a wide margin, voters have more faith in Obama than McCain in fixing it.The candidate who would have given McCain the most credibility was Mitt Romney.This election will be decided by independents, which polls show are the most pessimistic about the economy.
