...told ad nauseam since the surprise choice was announced last Friday, Palin has already provided one unquestionable, invaluable assist to the Republican campaign: with one sweep of her perfectly manicured hand, she has supposedly erased McCain's Evangelical problem and united the base that proved so key to George W. Bush's victory in 2004. (See photos of Sarah Palin here...
...without the closing of loopholes and tax breaks for big oil companies that Obama (and apparently Sarah Palin, who passed a windfall-profits tax) favors. But he failed to disarm Obama's most potent criticism: that he essentially favors the same policies - especially the economic policies - as George W. Bush.

...George W. Bush retires in 4 1/2 months, and he's going home to a place where there are no hurricanes. Neither big ones, like Katrina, that find a nation unprepared and send a President's approval rating to the bottom of a storm-ravaged sea, nor little ones, like Gustav. Bush was ready for Gustav, for what it's worth...
