FINALLY The True Straight Talk Express
RICHARDSON, Texas — Maybe all the criticism from Rush Limbaugh is sinking in.

Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain almost called himself a liberal on Thursday, getting ahead of himself as he contrasted himself with the Democratic candidates.
“I’m a proud, conservative, liberal Republi- Hello! Easy there,” McCain said, laughing along with his audience at Texas Instruments Inc.
He corrected himself immediately. “Let me say this: I am a proud, conservative Republican, and both of my possible or likely opponents today are liberal Democrats.”
A “liberal” label is sometimes applied to McCain by conservative foes such as Limbaugh who dislike some of his moderate stances and his willingness to work with Democrats. Still, the Arizona senator has made inroads with many critics since becoming the GOP nominee-in-waiting.
McCain was answering a question about whether he would aggressively campaign against Democratic Sens. Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“Yessir, I will, but I also want to say, I think Americans are a little bit tired of all these negative ads,” McCain said. “I want to assure you that I have in this primary, and in my past election campaigns, and in this one, I will conduct a respectful debate.”
Then he made one more slip: “Now, it’ll be dispirited — it’ll be spirited, because there are stark differences,” McCain said.
He concluded: “So there will be strong differences of views and policies in the future of America.”

Silly Season
Here we go. Hillary's campaign accuses Obama of plagiarism. That's just the start.
With the background din of her screeching that Obama gives good speeches and has no substance or experience (like she does!), you will soon see more and more attacks from Clinton Inc. Don't forget - these guys are good.
Don't be surprised to hear more Muslim allegations, discussion of his upbringing, of his beliefs. There will be character assassination of all sorts from drug use to sex. This lady is playing for her life! If she loses, she knows she's not going to get another shot a being Queen.
Recent polls show Texas is now a tie. Oh no. Hillary is depending on Texas and Ohio on March 4. Send in the big guns - "er, no Bill, you stay at home and bake cookies or have an affair or something. We'll call you when we need you."
Listen to the news - it's gonna get pretty silly really soon.

Another 4 Years of Bill?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Harold Ickes, a top adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign who voted for Democratic Party rules that stripped Michigan and Florida of their delegates, now is arguing against the very penalty he helped pass.
In a conference call Saturday, the longtime Democratic Party member contended the DNC should reconsider its tough sanctions on the two states, which held early contests in violation of party rules. He said millions of voters in Michigan and Florida would be otherwise disenfranchised - before acknowledging moments later that he had favored the sanctions.
Hillary is hurting and everybody, including the Clintons, knows it. There only hope is to either use super delegates OR change the rules. Given the fact that there are rumblings amongst the super delegates toward Obama now (and lots of cash going their way as well) and the Clintons are masterful at using the system - they will fight in the courts to make Florida's primary count as a win for Hillary. As a fall back position, they will use the disenfranchised card and go for a new primary to shore up the delegates. Ditto for Michigan.
It will still be interesting in that from the time of the FL and MI primary to now Obama has had a groundswell. She could STILL lose. Stay tuned.
Speaking of wishful thinking, did any of you hear Bill give his "vote for me" speech this week? He was in El Paso on Wednesday and said: "I think about coming here 35 years ago. I was working for the Democratic National Committee and I was going along the border, registering voters and we had the greatest time," Clinton told the crowd. "Well, here I am in Texas again and I am asking the children of those voters to vote for me."
Isn't that rich? Could it be he's spilled the beans?
