This call as highlighted by the Lonely Conservative is the type of call that SHOULD get on the air.

Until folks understand what people are actually thinking. Until people understand that many of the folks actually believe that their checks are coming from some magical stash rather than taxpayers pockets there will be nothing to stop us from becoming Greece.

I guess that WSJ wasn’t just whistling dixie about liberals and economics..

don’t get cocky.

Boy it must have been painful to say that, but that is the story at Politico:

Some of Sarah Palin’s riskiest endorsements scored major victories Tuesday for the former Alaska governor, showing off her power in Republican primaries.

Palin had four primary endorsements in play – Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley, Terry Branstad and Cecile Bledsoe – and three won or moved on to a runoff.

They stressed that she is a targeted weapon to use but that is true with every poll except maybe George Washington and James Monroe. Even Reagan, Nixon and Roosevelt managed to lose at least one state.

To win election Sarah Palin doesn’t need to be popular in 50 states she just needs to be popular enough in states that get her to 271 and she is a young lady (well younger than me anyway) with a lot of time to get there.

…for the administration.

Every single day you have pictures of that oil spill, the media thought it was a great tool to hit the right with. The right which is so much in favor of drilling for oil. It was a great way to show up that Sarah Palin know it all.

Hasn’t really turned out that way, instead it has been a daily reminder of failure for this administration. And now the people who couldn’t wait to blame George Bush for everything and anything to do with Katrina make excuses daily for this administration for what it has done and what is hasn’t. The media can’t help but play the live feed even if it gives no actual new news, and every drip wears down the administration’s ratings.

Fairly or unfairly the administration wanted ownership of this situation, they’ve got it.

Update: Hot air expands on the subject.
