Sarah Palin as Sports Anchor — John McCain’s VP Choice.This is the woman he wants to be President someday? Perhaps he’s hoping to grab sports lovers? He not only insults women assuming they’ll flock like chicks chasing after chicken feed — now he’s insulting men that they would ignore their concerns about the country just for a sports anchor.

Palin Comparison? Karl Rove on CBS Had Mocked Obama Considering Kaine for Veep– Only Governor ‘For 3 Years’
Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation less than three weeks ago, Republican strategist Karl Rove singled out Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who was on Obama’s short list.
With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he’s been a governor for three years, he’s been able but undistinguished,” Rove said.
Rove also said: I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that he’s done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America.
He added, So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with — is this person capable of being president of the United States?
I think he’s going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice,’ Rove said. ‘He’s going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he’s going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He’s not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president.
Palin has been governor of Alaska for less than two years. Palin was formerly mayor of a town that only has a population of about 9000. Palin is under investigation by a special prosecutor for supposedly having her ex brother-in-law fired.
Talk about putting Foot in Mouth – Karl Rove did so — Big Time. These comments need to be in an Obama ad – IMMEDIATELY or the day after the GOP Convention. The Ad should tell Americans what Karl Rove really thinks about a move such as John McCain just made by nominating Sarah Palin as his VP choice.

No Recession After All?
A revised reading on gross domestic product announced Thursday showed much better U.S. economic growth than previously reported for the second quarter.
GDP, the broadest measure of the nation’s economic activity, stood at an annual rate of 3.3% in the quarter, adjusted for inflation, the Commerce Department said.
Economic growth between 2.5% and 3.5% is typically viewed as the norm for a healthy economy.
The revised result surpassed last month’s initial estimate of 1.9%. It also surprised economists surveyed by Briefing.com who expected a revision to 2.7%.
Just as I reported a month or so ago, the recession happened last year (in my opinion). The economy is now said to be doing ‘normal’.
Just in time for November’s Election Day.
What would you like to bet that sometime in November, after the 4th of course, we’ll get another ‘revised’ reading saying it was lower then reported in August?
Keep in mind folks – Bush people run the Commerce Department. They can manipulate the numbers anyway they like — like everything else they’ve done.
The key is – how do you ‘feel’ about the economy? Are you unemployed? Are there jobs available? Did you get a raise? Are you paying more for health insurance?
Look in your local paper – do you see less than 5-7 ads for jobs? If the answer is yes – the economy isn’t doing so hot. Those are your best readings.
