    Sarah Palin and the Impact on the Election started by Shawn Collins
    Sarah Palin swept onto the national political scene last week, and all of the issues surrounding her are discussed on this podcast.

    This political podcast was formerly known as Red Hat Blue Hat, because it had folks from both parties talking shop, but the Democrats have left the building, at least for now.

    So this week, you’ve [...]
    Oprah Shuns Sarah Palin started by Shawn Collins
    Oprah was very excited earlier this year to tout the historical nature of the Barack Obama campaign, but she isn’t quite as excited about Sarah Palin, according to the Drudge Report.

    “Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,” an insider explains. “Oprah’s website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah [...]
    Legislative Accomplishments of Barack Obama started by Shawn Collins
    “We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.

    And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.

    But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.”

    Sarah Palin [...]
    Sarah Palin Speech at the Republican National Convention started by Shawn Collins
    I wasn’t sure what to expect with Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention, but she really impressed me.

    Governor Palin was impressive, funny, sharp, and well… Vice Presidential. Here is the text from the speech.

    Full remarks as prepared for delivery and provided by the McCain campaign of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as she accepts [...]
    Sarah Palin Debunks Fake Pregnancy Rumor started by Shawn Collins
    In response to an offensive post by Daily Kos alleging that Sarah Palin faked the pregnancy of her son, Trig, Governor Palin announced today that her 17-year-old daughter is currently about five-months pregnant, according to Reuters.

    Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is [...]
    Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama started by Shawn Collins
    Since the Obama campaign has been pushing the odd comparison of Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama, RedState.com has created a “tale of the tape” for the two.

    The match-up is a pretty vivid illustration of how Obama is being overestimated and Palin is being underestimated.

    Have a look at redstate.com.
    Back When the Mainstream Media Loved Sarah Palin started by Shawn Collins
    There have been countless attack stories from the mainstream media about Governor Sarah Palin since she became Senator John McCain’s running mate.

    So, it’s hard to believe that they were once enchanted by Palin. But if you flash back to October 2007, Newsweek published a glowing profile on her.

    In Alaska, Palin is challenging the dominant, sometimes [...]
    Obama Campaign Smears Sarah Palin started by Shawn Collins
    There has been a steady stream of smears on Sarah Palin since she was announced as the running mate of John McCain.

    Many of these ugly fabrications have come from extreme left bloggers, but at least one came straight from Team Obama, according to the McCain campaign.

    The first attack came from Obama surrogate Rep. Robert [...]
    Who is John McCain? started by Shawn Collins
    It’s widely known that John McCain has long been a bi-partisan leader in the Senate, but details of his earlier life aren’t often shared by the mainstream media.

    Check out this video profile of the experiences that made John McCain who he is.
    Obama Stops Running Against John McCain started by Shawn Collins
    Barack Obama has apparently come to the realization that he can’t possibly make a case for being more experienced than John McCain, so he’s trying to compare himself to Sarah Palin.

    According to CNN, Obama tried to outclass Governor Palin’s executive experience by touting his campaign organization…

    Joe Biden = Dick Cheney 2.0 started by Shawn Collins
    Barack Obama’s VP pick, Joe Biden, has a stark similarity to Vice-President Dick Cheney, according to a report from the Associated Press.

    In the past, Vice-President Cheney has been roundly criticized for his draft deferments during the Vietnam War.

    Well, it turns out that Joe Biden received five student draft deferments during the Vietnam War, too.

    He was [...]
    We’re Still Not in a Recession started by Shawn Collins
    The Barack Obama campaign has been beating the drum about the sour state of the U.S. economy, and the mainstream media keeps pushing the “r” word: recession.

    But guess what… the reality is quite different than the jaundiced view coming out of Denver.

    The economy performed better than expected in Q2 of 2008, according to the Associated [...]
    Liberal Hate Site Daily Kos Smears Sarah Palin started by Shawn Collins
    The Daily Kos blog made a post that is low, even for their standards, this past Saturday, Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother, where they claim Trig Palin is not Sarah Palin’s child, but her grandchild.

    Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation [...]
    Barack Obama on Running for President started by Shawn Collins
    “You know, I am a believer in… in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that… if I were seriously to consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate.

    Now there may be some people [...]
    Another Democrat Giddy About Hurricane Gustav started by Shawn Collins
    God is on the side of the Democrats, or at least former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler, based on a video clip posted at redstate.com.

    Fowler laughs as he comments to Congressman John Spratt (D-SC):

    “The hurricane is going to hit New Orleans about the time it’s (Republican Convention) starting.”<br

    The twelfth installment of Red Hat Blue Hat featured Mike Allen, Shawn Collins, Todd Crawford, Sam Harrelson, and Tim Jones.

    This installment focused on the Democratic National Convention with a discussion on Hillary Clinton’s speech, Joe Biden at VP candidate, the skill of Bill Clinton’s oratory, and lack thereof from Nancy “Can We Drill Your Brain?” [...]
    Obama Camp Demeans Accomplishments of Sarah Palin started by Shawn Collins
    The Barack Obama campaign didn’t waste time in making a petty attack on Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

    Obama spokesman Bill Burton referred to Governor Palin as “the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” according to Politico.com.

    It’s
    Todd Palin and Big Oil started by Shawn Collins
    Mainstream media outlets and liberal bloggers are excitedly reporting that Todd Palin, husband of Republican Vice-President candidate Sarah Palin, is an employee of BP, part of the evil big oil empire.

    But they fail to mention a key fact, as according to the Associated Press, Todd Palin isn’t in the board room lording over oil prices.

    Her [...]
    Michael Moore Cheers on Hurricane Gustav started by Shawn Collins
    Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore is known for nasty, fact-challenged attacks, but I thought he had a shred of decency in him.

    Guess not, based on comments he made on MSNBC’s August 29 “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” show, where he commented about prospect of Hurricane Gustav making landfall at the beginning of the Republican National Convention next [...]
    Sarah Palin Breaks the Political Glass Ceiling started by Shawn Collins
    Sarah Palin has been announced as first female running mate on a Republican ticket. The historic selection is a huge surprise, as many expected Mitt Romney or Tim Pawlenty as the pick.

    Sarah Palin is the first female governor of Alaska, the mother of five, and at 44 is the youngest chief executive in the history [...]
    Michelle Obama to Poor, Black People: Be Sick Somewhere Else started by Shawn Collins
    Michelle Obama and three close advisers to Barack Obama have been involved with a program at the University of Chicago Medical Center that turns away patients who don’t have private insurance, who are typically poor, black people, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Michelle Obama helped create the program while serving as the vice president of the [...]
    Bill Clinton Lies in Support of Barack Obama started by Shawn Collins
    I was watching Bill Clinton address the faithful in Denver last night, and a couple thing stuck out as being particularly truth challenged.

    At one point, Clinton mentioned in his remarks that we need to focus more on fighting diseases like AIDS overseas.

    Say what you might about President Bush, but he has done more than [...]
    Coverage of the Democratic National Convention started by Shawn Collins
    There is some entertaining coverage of the Democratic National Convention for anybody that has had enough of the mainstream media version of it.

    I liked the video of the Recreate68 rally, where the crowd was maybe in the tens.

    See http://conventions2008.blogspot.com/ for coverage of the Democratic National Convention this week and the
    Democrats Have Buyer’s Remorse started by Shawn Collins
    Pundits all around talked about the impact of Hillary Clinton’s speech today and how an Obama-Clinton ticket would probably have a 10 point bump right now.

    The crowd went crazy, and Hillary Clinton’s supporters aren’t sold on Obama.
