Democrats In The Headlights

I love the above cartoon.

Every Democrat spokesperson I have seen on television since the announcement that Sarah Palin will be the Republican candidate for Vice-President has looked just about like this. Sure, they have tried their best to attack Palin, but the looks on their face betray them. At best they appear as "deer in the headlights." And, many of them are not just stunned, but horrified. Some of them have gone from "We can't lose" to an "OMG what is happening?" as they see their chances to win the White House slipping away.

However, I think the above cartoon it is wrong about Hillary's response to the news regarding Sarah Palin's nomination to become Vice President of the United States. I think that Hillary probably feels vindicated in a "You should have chosen me" kind of way.

Some Candidates "Don't Care What We Think"

An excerpt from the article, Absent Pols Anger Youth Vote, by John Whitson, in the New Hampshire Union Leader

MANCHESTER – Young political activists say the message this week from leading candidates for President has come through loud and clear: The youth vote isn't important.

"It's extremely disappointing, and it says to us that they don't care what we think," Julie Heffron, student body president of Sowela Community Technical College, said yesterday.

Heffron is part of a 41-member delegation from Louisiana attending the four-day College Convention 2008, which concludes today at the Center of New Hampshire downtown.

Sponsored by New England College, the convention has welcomed dozens of candidates, from household names -- such as Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., and former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark. -- to the obscure.

But candidates drawing the strongest poll numbers on both sides of the aisle have forsaken hundreds of young people gathered here from throughout the country.
