We're off today to visit our friend in prison...but I am taking the p.c. and the list of 12 (count 'em, twelve) propositions for the upcoming November election.  So I plan on at least blurting while I'm away.

In the interim (and because I've got to pack soon!), here are some articles you might want to check out regarding Sarah Palin, the Republican strategy of playing against "the media" and a very thought provoking opinion piece by Steinem on Palin.

My feeling at this juncture is that the Republican campaign will be about Barack Obama--his supposed elitism, his supposed inexperience, his supposed liberal agenda.  My hope is that Obama's campaign hits back when necessary and then turns to the issues:

The economy

The horrible blunders of the Iraq war

The need for actual change (rather than the hijacking of change message by politicians who live in the pockets of big oil and big money).

From my lips to Obama's ears.
