That’s what it appears from the looks of a new electoral vote map from the LA Times.

This has to be one of the best speeches of this years RNC. But before I give my opinions you can view the entire 45 minute speech in all its glory below. And fail not to leave your thoughts in a comment below.

Here is the actual footage from Dayton Ohio where McCain announced who his running mate would be!

McCain has picked his running mate. And it had nothing to do with the rumors about Gov. Tim Pawlenty from Minnesota. I now introduce you to the first woman to be chosen as a running mate for the Republican national party. Governor Sarah Palin from Alaska. NOt only does she break that record, she also breaks the record for being the first Alaskan to be on the November ballot (hopefully a Hawaiian will break it next election).
McCain praised the Governor for her tenacity and skill in dealing with tough issues (wonder what those are).
“She is exactly who this country needs to help us fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second,” McCain told supporters in Dayton.
He also went on to say that she is exactly what this country needs. For once I am happy with McCain’s choice. Granted he could have picked a more qualified running mate (hello Mitt), but with a woman for the VP spot he can connect with a lot of independents and liberals who were (and still are) mad at Obama’s decision not to put Hillary up for the VP spot. Governor Palin is 3 years younger than Obama and a generation younger than his running mate. But she connects with the younger class of voters (something that McCain has had trouble doing). And for once no one can say that the Republican party is sexist for not picking a female to shoot for the elections in November.

Barack Obama has already picked his VP so now, all that’s left is for McCain to decide on his (or should I say announce it) as reports have surfaced from his campaign that he has picked a running mate, only he is not ready to reveal it. So I guess we’ll have to wait until Ohio till we find out.
In the mean time get this! Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has suddenly canceled speaking engagements and other appointments in time for the RNC. OK that in itself does not say much, but when you take into account that he has had close relations with McCain of recent times and that he does share quite a few of McCain’s talking points it should not be a surprise if old man Mac decides to pull a fast one and choose him. Although it would have been a much better choice if Mitt was still in the picture.

Not that this is the first time the lizard has changed his colors, but for all those who thought you might have a way with McCain when he gets into office, his mere thought of picking Stephen Hayes (former PA governor) for the VP spot shows he is not interested in fixing the rift he has made in the Republican party. I so hope he picks him and looses. Teach the jackasses who run the party what happens when you leave your base, no matter how radical they may seem.

Well, America’s “favorite” presidential nominee has made his pick, and as I suspected (though hoped would not be the case), his pick has nothing to do with former first lady Hillary Clinton. In fact he almost went on opposite terms with her picking Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. as his running mate.
Hillary fans had longed hoped that Barack would swallow his pride and reach out to her, but seeing that his wife has never been on good terms with her and she would definitely pose a problem to his campaign agendas he never even considered the possibility.
All that is left for us to do is wait and see who McCain picks to challenge Biden Jr. who carries little weight in certain arenas.
So thus comes an end to all hopes that Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton would have a shot at setting her foot in the White House in the near future.

If we are to believe Gallup, McCain and Obama have an equal chance of winning the election if it were held right now. So much for Obama’s supposed lead. I have a piece of advice to you Mr. Barack: take a vacation, we’re tired of your change speech when we’ve seen nothing. Come back in a month with a vengeance and I will so vote for you.

Barack has said he is ready to announce his running mate, and many close to the campaign are saying it could come as early as this Wednesday. Call me stupid but I have a pretty good idea its gonna be Hillary. Now I know Mrs. Clinton never hit it off well with Mrs. Obama but tell me something, why else would Hillary concede the race to Barack even though she promised to carry it straight up to the convention? Not only that but she has been working very closely with his campaign of recent. All indications point to her. But Barack can be unpredictable so you never know. We’ll just have to wait and see.

If the Democrats want to have any chance of winning against McCain in November they need Hillary. Obama carries no weight and against the alternative media (Rush and Sean…not to mention Niel and Savage) he stands no chance.
Hillary on the other hand has proven that she is capable of beating McCain in key states such as Ohio, Florida etc. Obama can only beat his democratic rivals….but against his Republican counterparts he carries no weight. And don’t tell me about Hillary as VP cause it ain’t gonna work. Its either she is President or none because a VP spot will not convince voters.
