Gustav is putting a damper on the GOP's weeklong infomercial. It will touch down Monday.
Coming three years after Katrina hit New Orleans, this can only be a reminder of Bush's incompetence, right? And only hurt Republicans, right? That's the first reaction.
But events only benefit those who take advantage of them. McCain could turn this into a let's-all-lend-a-helping-hand moment. One of the problems with Obama's speech (one of the only problems) was, in his zeal to show that he understands ordinary folks' suffering, a tendency to wallow in depressing facts. Who knows? Obama could come off badly, perhaps. And Republicans could come off well as being "Americans first."
That's what McCain said: McCain said he’s asked organizers and delegates to “take their Republican hats off and put their American hats on.”

Hillary will be messing with the DNC.
I think they should raise the voting age to 65. Then there would have been no problem getting Hillary or the winner of American Idol elected. And why can't Arnold Schwartzeneger be president? I think that as long as someone can spell Albequrque, they are qualified to be president of this country that we affectionately refer to as the U.S. of A.
