"Those who would renegotiate the boundaries between church and state must therefore answer a difficult question: why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly?"

Anybody know of any good free internet security. I was using AVG and they made me update to their trial for 8.0 recently. I don't like it and will not pay for their product. And today I don't feel like paying for anyones product before checking it out.

Remember who we're dealing with.  These people are almost as frothingly malicious as they are mind-blowingly stupid.

Republican strategists are worried that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will make a very positive impression and burnish his international credentials when he takes his much-ballyhooed foreign trips in the coming weeks.

"It has the potential to be a big plus for Obama," says a senior Republican who has advised several presidents over the years. "The American people know we are not liked overseas anymore, and it bothers them. People feel that Obama could help change that."

So apparently, McCain hired himself a bulldog. Anyone have any thoughts? Should we be worried? He seems to be the one who came up with some of the more damaging one-liners about Obama. How do we fight that? How does Obama fight it?

or is that to a beer?

hmmmm?

decisions decisions.

Have fun.

It's time for the Obama campaign to go on the offensive and compare the executive management skills of Barack Obama and John McCain.  

The McCain for President organization has undergone two major reorganizations involving key personnel and campaign strategy within one year.  Objective press reports of internal dissention, poor tactical decisions and the lack of an overall campaign strategy are common.  What does this tell us about McCain's ability as a manager?  Can we expect annual shake-ups of top  people and direction once a year in a McCain administration?

In contrast, Barack Obama has led what is widely regarded as one of the most consistent, stable, effective and efficient campaign operations in American political history.  This is even more impressive when you consider how much larger the Obama organization is (in dollars and staff) compared to the McCain organization.  Also, in battling with and defeating the formidable Clintons, the Obama organization has operated under considerably more stress and press scrutiny for a longer period of time than the McCain organization.  

When people talk about and evaluate a future Obama administration, few mention Obama's executive management skills.  But to date, which candidate has delivered the goods on this vital  role of a President?

Hitchens Gets Waterboarded, Withdraws from Iraq in Eleven Seconds

Mr. McCain's advisers said that Mr. Davis would continue to hold the position of campaign manager, but that Mr. Schmidt had taken over every major operation where Mr. McCain has shown signs of struggling: communications, scheduling and basic political strategy.
