When was the last time the Democrats won the White House without a Clinton on the ticket? :)
This is actually the first election in 32 years without a Bush or a Clinton.
The McCain camaign wonders in amazement why people are spending so much time on Sarah Palin's wardrobe.
Maybe the answer is that it's very important to her and the campaign.
Turns out that Palin and the Saturday Night Live wardrobe person battled over what she was to wear on the show. Palin had trouble understanding why she and Tina Fey, for one skit, had to wear the same outfits.
Later, in the closing bit, Palin was allowed to wear her new black outfit that apparently fit more into the new image that the campaign wanted her to project.

fascinating trivia!
Faced with the reality of an election rout, advisors to America's whitest person, John McCain, are beginning to fight among themselves and finding ways to cover their butts.
McCain blamed the Bush administration (Republicans by the way) for letting things get out of control in the country. (Then he uses those same people to run his campaign.)
There is no communication between the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee.
Staff morale has plummeted at the McCain HQ in Virigina. Private sector Republicans are getting lots of resumes from McCain staffers, a clear warning sign of a coming disaster.
One former McCain strategist said that the campaign in now entering the finger pointing and positioning for history stage.
Some now say that the pollsters were telling the campaign that the experience vs. change argument wouldn't work with voters any better for McCain than it did for Hillary.
Another said that McCain's changing messages are confusing voters. One day he's bringing up the Bill Ayers issue, and the next saying he doesn't care about it. Or on the economy, sounding one day like Milton Friedman and the talking like FDR.

Nixon was a very funny President.
So was Jimmy Carter. They had to announce he had hemorrhoids and once he claimed to be attacked by an eight foot rabbit.
It's doubtful that Sarah Palin has ever read a book. Tried to ban them, but not read them.
But we know that John McCain has read at least one. Republican and former fed chairman Alan Greenspan's book.
Today, the free-market champion told Congress that the economic meltdown wasn't his fault, but that there was a flaw in his economic assumptions.
It's Greenspan-speak, so you figure it out.
He said he made a mistake in believing that banks, operating in their own self-interest, would do what was necessary to protect their shareholders and institutions. He called that "a flaw in the model ...that defines how the world works."
Shocking some other free market supporters, he proposed even tougher governmental regulations over the marketplace.
Somebody call Higby and Haikula. Even Greenspan has now become a socialist!
Ronald Reagan 1980, dumbass.
"Ronald Reagan 1980, dumbass."
uh,a Bush was on the ticket. Please reread the question.
Yup - did you know that Sarah Palin doesn't even know how to read nor can she drive a stick shift? And she's never known a black person her whole life until she met Barack Obama!
