Slog - Comments on The Latest Obama Republican... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/the_latest_obama_republican ...is Charles Fried, one of John McCain's advisers, who has already voted for Obama. He claims the Palin choice was the biggest factor in his defection. This man is a major conservative thinker and he used to be a rabid McCain supporter....

As if! This woman is more hated and has less credibility than Omarosa, Rosie, Hasselbeck and Star Jones combined!

Yay for my former Governor, possibly the only Republican politician I've ever admired.

I'm predicting it will be a Republican Senator next... there are a few who haven't endorsed McCain yet.

The sweet scent of victory is in the air… can you smell it?

Ah, I remember the 80s, when conservatives had ideas, and bragged about them all the time. Cf. Commentary Magazine, now just another Rethug shithole.

As much as I love the fact many of the more "grown-up" Republicans have left their party we need to remember that we need to keep them on our side from here on in. And that is going to be hard for everyone but if we want to keep winning in a "right of center" country that is what we are going to have to do.

We Democrats love to say we're the real party of inclusion: now we have to prove it.

That would be ... bad.

How could the Socialist Marxist Party of McCain continue without these large subsidies?
