br> -- C. Kenna Amos br> Princeton, West Virginia /p> p> Every writer needs a column, wrong or not. "The tale of a pregnant teenager could determine who will be the next Leader of the Free World." Sounds like Kos or Huffington (who mimic the Daily Mirror style). They hope to change the Palin "disclosures" into "scandals." Columnist McCain can't see the forest of voters, the big picture. Among those who watch late night comedy, who cares? Among those who vote, who cares? The socialists, that's who. Their tools are a wedge, hammer and chisel used to chip off or wedge those not in lockstep. These tools are tried and true. Socialists don't care how vile their tactics, their goal is winning, whatever it takes. Who cares if Bristol Palin isn't running for office? The target is Conservatism, and in this campaign they are brandishing their tools in full view. In our war here at home, a pregnant teen might have shot the Red Bear. br> -- Russel Ready br> Wyoming /p>

The "other" McCain is apparently taking heat for his comments about the veep choice, but as one who was not going to vote for president at all because I wouldn't vote for a Democrat and I firmly believe John McCain will be an abysmal president, I have since removed my "We're Screwed '08" bumper sticker. 1) My wife is now energized for the Republican ticket and 2), if we can get McCain in with Palin as Veep we have a true opportunity to get "Washington" out of Washington and stick a finger in the eye of the traditional Republican party leaders and elites. Something that is sorely needed. It seems to me that it is this non-Washington politician selection that is the reason for all of this and clearly this woman in no idiot. Just the way she has managed her life to this point in time has the effect of showing voters what many of them have always understood, we have many people in this country capable of serving and doing things right, if it was so hard to do we wouldn't have Washington filled with as many misfits as it is. Just look at them all!

p>I sure wish her well, Sarah Palin is perhaps the only choice that could have generated this much interest. br> -- Roger Ross
