Joe Lieberman is toast.
That is, if we win in November.
When Barack Obama entered the senate, Joe Lieberman was his mentor. That is how the senate is structured for new members, unfamiliar with the chamber and its processes.
This is what he has to say about Obama in 2006, then:
This is Lieberman a loser as VP Pick in 2000; not a factor for president in the primaries of 2004; losing the democratic primary in 2006; turning bitter and sour towards his own party who supported the democratic nominee in 2006, Ned Lamont; ran in 2006 for his senate seat as an Independent; and watching Liberman perform political suicide in 2008. This is Joe Lieberman, Senator of Connecticut. If Barack Obama wins, he is toast. Stripped, will he be of his chairmanships of the senate and thrown to the curb to a nothingness. Will he win again in Connecticut as an Independent Democrat in 2012? NO. Lieberman has been giving money to Democratic PACs while endorsing John McCain at the Republican Convention, last night, it is called covering your BASES. WTF, indeed.

George W. Bush, a presidency that will go down as the worst in history
Damn, you know that you are not welcomed to your own party's convention when you have to deliver a TAPED speech from the White House.
That is what happened to GWB, last night.
McCain wanted him NO WHERE near the convention. Remember, he is trying to get his reformer/maverick "mojo" back by picking compromising Sarah for his VP.
So, having Mr. 28% or even Mr. 19% (psst, that is Dick Cheney) at the convention, LIVE, for all Americans to see is or was a "no-can-do". So, Mr. 28% was relegated to a taped speech thousands of miles away and Mr. 19% was told "don't bother to show up."
Yep. These are the Republican Party's leaders. The worst destroyers of this country we, Americans have ever had the privileged to watch.

Sarah Palin, will be a hit tonight
She will be. She will come out fierce; point fingers at the liberal blogs for rumor mongering (see below); embrace her roseanne-like family which is playing out on the national stage; back off of some of her lies, but not all; look great; embrace "family values"; push the McCain-Bush doctrine; etc.
The GOP running on empty:
The GOP, sensing a loss, is going to try to reignite the culture wars. They are starting with the old bromide about "the liberal media", with Mark Halperin as proof. Go after the NY Times and the Daily Kos. Pick on Elizabeth Bumiller and Dan Balz. And it's already started. This is standard GOP playbook. The problem is the tabloids in the supermarket are not on their side.
All the above is for the base. The conservative base. Remember that is her job, to energize THEM, not me. So, the more they give a "shoutout" to Daily Kos, the more hits and advertising the site gets.
So, remember ALL that, just sayin'.

Obama support hits 50 per cent as Republicans look to Palin speech
Barack Obama has hit the crucial 50 per cent mark in the polls for the first time after an impressive Democratic convention and concerns over John McCain’s choice of the Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.
The Democratic nominee now holds an eight-point lead over Mr McCain – 50 per cent to 42 per cent – according to today’s daily tracking poll released by Gallup.
Mr Obama has bounced back from a poll low earlier this month when the two presidential candidates were tied on 44 per cent. Undecided voters have dropped from 11 per cent to 8 per cent, suggesting that those who have recently made up their minds are opting for Mr Obama.
Today, the McCain camp was pinning its hopes on a successful convention to peg back its rival.
Mrs Palin is due to address delegates tonight and Mr McCain’s top advisers have been busy prepping her for a speech that they hope will dispel doubts over her experience, grasp of national issues and the various personal and political controversies that have been swirling around her since the selection was announced on Friday. continue
