The skit on Saturday Night Live with Palin and Clinton will become a Saturday Night Live classic. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were excellent, as always. Specifically Fey nailed the Sarah Palin perfectly.
Here take a look.
Road Map to Defeat – New York Times
This was an interesting op-ed. The Democrats are doing whatever they can do to lose it, but they hadn’t won it either.
I found a quote interesting in this op-ed, “And the country wants to elect a Democrat.” I don’t think the country wants to elect a Democrat, they want change.
John McCain has gone against the Republican leadership before and has fought battles. I think that is why he is the presumptive nominee. He pulls in the independents and gets back to core Republican values. He is change from the current administration.

The Denver Post – Wyo. Dem chief: Clinton would hurt party
Well the Democrats are beginning to split over the selection of there nominee for President. Today the Democratic Party Chairman in Wyoming John Millin sent a letter to the Denver Post.

While this is true state chairmans usually keep quiet and let the states and voters determine who is going to run. The reason is that if the candidate that they support is not the one who wins the nomination, it will be tough for them to lead the party during the Presidential election in the fall.
Millin has come out for Barack Obama.
It is going to be an interesting election. But in the West, the question is how polarizing a figure is Clinton going to be.
