…as Morning Joe broadcasts from Pensacola.
Now Joe is from Pensacola so it makes sense but no tough question has headed Crist’s way from these guys. Like for example is he buying any of those booms from Maine, they’ve known about them for a little while now, has Crist purchased any to protest the beach?
Just askin’
Update: In fairness they had Marco Rubio on for a segment or two as well. No sign of Kendrick Meek.
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.
but is there a reason why Elton John shouldn’t sing for Rush?
By that argument no conservative should ever go to a movie that a liberal is in, no conservative should go to a comedy show that a liberal has, I’m not allowed to enjoy Paul McCartney even though he is one of the greatest singers since Sinatra.
If you want us Balkanized by opinion we can do that but it’s a bad idea.
Update: Stacy talked on the same subject.
Before I had to run my youngest to school after missing his bus the gang talked about Cafe standard and using the Oil spill to reduce them again.
Let me point out that the way cafe standards are reduced is not by redesigning the engine they are reduced by decreasing weight and removing steel, which leads to more highway deaths.
Rather than re-invent the wheel I’ll simply refer you to here here here here and of course here but I’ll give you two quotes from these sources. First the WSJ.
That difference is reflected in the real world. The death rate in minis in multi-vehicle crashes is almost twice as high as that of large cars. And in single-vehicle crashes, where there’s no oversized second vehicle to blame, the difference is even greater: Passengers in minis suffered three times as many deaths as in large cars.
And the American Thinker
How many deaths have resulted? Depending on which study you choose, the total ranges from 41,600 to 124,800. To that figure we can add between 352,000 and 624,000 people suffering serious injuries, including being crippled for life. In the past thirty years, fuel standards have become one of the major causes of death and misery in the United States — and one almost completely attributable to human stupidity and shortsightedness.
Compare those numbers to the casualties that we have suffered in 10 years in Iraq & Afghanistan and think about it.
