THE McCAIN MUTINY: Why Republicans Are Jumping Ship

It’s been that kind of week for John McCain. Obama gets an endorsement from Gen. Colin Powell, McCain gets one from Al Qaeda. No kidding.

More and more Republicans with hearts and brains are jumping ship because they see a ship wreck ahead and don’t think McCain will make a very good captain. Once the “brilliance” of choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate wore off, the stupidity and self-serving shortsightedness of it set in. As Obama began to look more and more like a President for the times, Palin began to look like a President for the End Times. Last month, conservative columnist Kathleen Parker wrote a column for the National Review calling on Sarah Palin to withdraw from the ticket.

In recent weeks conservative commentators like Christopher Buckley endorsed Obama, as have Barry Goldwater’s kin from McCain’s home state and Arne Carlson, former GOP governor of Minnesota. You’ll find more endorsements on a prominent website called Republicans for Obama.

In addition to a long list of Republicans who favor Obama, the website offers an articulate endorsement of its own:

“We need a leader who can lay the foundations of another American Century—someone who can get past our partisan and ideological divisions, as we strengthen our standing in the world and tackle the challenges we face at home. We need a leader who understands our differences, but who also knows the importance of finding common ground. While we continue to debate and address many issues on which we all have strong opinions—abortion, gay rights, the relationship between church and state, to name a few—we need a leader who can command the support needed to break our government’s paralysis and meet the growing challenges we face as a nation.

“Senator Obama is the one candidate who can unite the American majority that wants to move forward and improve the long-term economic well-being and independence of our nation.”

In other words, they believe Obama is more functional, more able to navigate us through the problems of the times. Newspapers seem to agree. Many that endorsed George Bush four years ago have gone for Obama this time. These include two Texas papers, the Houston Chronicle and the Austin-American Statesman, as well as the Denver Post, Chicago Sun-Times, Kansas City Star, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and even the Salt Lake Tribune, which wrote:

“Out of nowhere, and without proper vetting, the impetuous McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She quickly proved grievously underequipped to step into the presidency should McCain, at 72 and with a history of health problems, die in office. More than any single factor, McCain’s bad judgment in choosing the inarticulate, insular and ethically challenged Palin disqualifies him for the presidency.”

Could it be said in any plainer terms? By a newspaper with a highly-conservative and largely Mormon constituency, no less? But the endorsement goes much further than condemning McCain:

“Still, we have compelling reasons for endorsing Obama on his merits alone. Under the most intense scrutiny and attacks from both parties, Obama has shown the temperament, judgment, intellect and political acumen that are essential in a president that would lead the United States out of the crises created by President Bush, a complicit Congress and our own apathy.”

That says it pretty plainly. Obama is functional, and we need functionality right now more than anything. Among those who are able to see past their partisan loyalties, the distinct differences between McCain and Obama as leaders are apparent. As of last Friday, newspaper editorial endorsements have favored Obama 58-16. Thus far, 26 papers that backed Bush in 2004 now support Obama.

Sarah Palin… MOST Photoshopped Politician….EVER!

The polls are heading Barack Obama’s way, but much of the coverage in the US still focusses on John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin

Top draw
Many observers saw John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate as a play for female voters but it seems the Alaska Governor is becoming more of a hit with the fellas. The New York Times reports that the crowds turning up to hear Palin speak are stacked in favour of the guys, with one female supporter at a rally in Weirs Beach,New Hampshire, estimating the ratio as “70-30, maybe 65-35, men to women”. One of these men, who gave his name as “John Deere”, said of Palin: “She’s beautiful … I came here to look at her.”

Palin pushes up ratings
The entertainment summit of the season - Governor Sarah Palin and her impersonator Tina Fey (pictured above) - earned Saturday Night Live its best ratings in 14 years. But if you blinked, you might have missed it. Fey was answering questions at a news conference, something Palin hasn’t done yet as the Republican vice-presidential nominee, when Palin walked onto the stage. Fey beat a hasty retreat in the opening segment, walking by in front of the real Palin with a barely perceptible nod. For the first half-hour, when Palin first came out, the audience was about 17 million.

Latino Joe
For Senator John McCain, Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher’s catapult into the national consciousness may have backfired somewhat but that hasn’t stopped Obama from finding his own “Joe the plumber”. The Huffington Post internet newspaper reports that voters in Colorado are receiving “robocalls” automatic, recorded telephone calls from a Colorado plumber called Joe Martinez. He tells voters: “Take it from Joe the plumber, if you want a president who will put middle-class families first, join me in voting for Barack Obama.”

Money mail
If you’re a concerned citizen or eager reporter keen to grab a look at Sarah Palin’s state emails, it looks as if you’re going to need deep pockets. Those who have made the request have been quoted a price of up to US$15 million ($24 million), reports MSNBC. They give the example of a request from AP to see all state emails received by “first dude” Todd Palin. AP was told that to search each state employee’s emails would cost US$960.31. If you decide this is worth it, it’s likely you won’t receive the emails until long after the election has passed.The polls are heading Barack Obama’s way, but much of the coverage in the US... more
