It is encouraging to read items in the news about the price of Palin's clothes, or her claims that she is an intellectual, or even the fog that I see forming when she tries to project the five-chid picture of her family (do you think that she'll actually get away with it?), but I don't think that many of us composer-types will have the peace of mind to think creatively and constructively until after November 4. I'm hoping for a landslide because I fear the possibility of RNC claims of voter fraud. <BR/><BR/>I would like to trust in the goodness of my fellow countryfolk to open their eyes and do the right thing.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-88557949221273503112008-10-23T07:15:00.000-07:002008-10-23T07:15:00.000-07:00> an excuse to be otherwise occupied.Want to jo...> an excuse to be otherwise occupied.<BR/><BR/>Want to join my chorus?

Instead of waiting for the news to ... slowly ... trickle ... in ... I could get it all in a heap.<BR/><BR/>True, Sarah's clothing bill could clothe you for 50 years, but you're not running for national office. The reason Edwards got that expensive haircut is that he'd never have heard the end of the media ridicule if he'd appeared with a strand out of place. (For an example of what happens to a major politician who doesn't care about grooming, see the sad story of the former British opposition leader Michael Foot.)<BR/><BR/>So while the vast sum of Palin's bill may be a scandal, and the source of the money may be an ethics scandal, and the Republican hypocrisy over such things is definitely a scandal, that she spent a lot more money on clothes than ever before is only sensible in her position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8957911.post-50630010446352429442008-10-22T22:16:00.000-07:002008-10-22T22:16:00.000-07:00Based on all the polls and analysis I've seen, and...Based on all the polls and analysis I've seen, and on the apparent desperation of the McCain campaign (Pennsylvania??), yes, an Obama win seems likely, but I am in the "not over until it's over" gang.
