Hmm, what do our politicians do when things change??

Pretty good article, what will the candidates do with what is going on TODAY... it is fine to remember what happened back then, as it helps (or should) from repeating mistakes.

I think it is good to see what they will do now that situations have changed and are they really paying attention.

clipped from www.realclearpolitics.com June 21, 2008 The Facts in Iraq Are Changing By Michael Barone As we enter the second half of the campaign year, facts are undermining the Democratic narrative that has dominated our politics since about the time Hurricane Katrina rolled into the Gulf coast -- most importantly, the facts about Iraq. All of this matters because the rejection of the Republicans in the 2006 elections was a verdict on competence more than ideology. The Republicans seemed incompetent at relieving victims of Katrina, producing success in Iraq and even policing the House page programs. The Democrats could not do worse and might do better. But in the 19 months since November 2006, some important facts have changed. When asked why he changed his position on an issue, John Maynard Keynes said: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" What say you, Sen. Obama?

Let's see it!

I would like Congressman Udall to accept this request. It would be good for Colorado to see the exchange of ideas this way and the struggle that takes place to help people REALLY know where they stand. I fear he will not accept though--a real debate with the tough questions seems to scare Democrats these days.

"Obama was SELECTED; NOT ELECTED"

An interesting article... and a pretty good premise. As usual Ann has laced this article with some very good satire to drive the point home. Check out the entire article for more.

clipped from anncoulter.com OBAMA WAS SELECTED, NOT ELECTED June 4, 2008 Words mean nothing to liberals. They say whatever will help advance their cause at the moment, switch talking points in a heartbeat, and then act indignant if anyone uses the exact same argument they were using five minutes ago. When Gore won the popular vote in the 2000 election by half a percentage point, but lost the Electoral College -- or, for short, "the constitutionally prescribed method for choosing presidents" -- anyone who denied the sacred importance of the popular vote was either an idiot or a dangerous partisan. But now Hillary has won the popular vote in a Democratic primary, while Obambi has won under the rules. In a spectacular turnabout, media commentators are heaping sarcasm on our plucky Hillary for imagining the "popular vote" has any relevance whatsoever.
