Will There be a GOP Primary for Mayor?
Despite this post on Urban Elephants yesterday declaring the unlikeliness that Bruce Blakeman will not run for GOP nomination for Mayor. I just saw an ad for for him on NY1's morning news. It seems to be a year early but it probably is dirt cheap today the day after primary day.

Why Do Football Coaches Hate Democrats? | The New York Observer
"Prominent football coaches. For whatever reason - a natural sympathy for autocratic leadership, perhaps? - the G.O.P. has had no shortage of sideline generals to showcase through the years, a tradition that the party will renew tonight when former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs addresses the convention just before 9:00."
So the Republicans can have sideline generals, Democrats will keep the actual generals
$10 Billion A Month in Iraq
McCain/Palin campaign spokespersons have been touting Sarah Palin's executive experience, managing 24,000 employees, proximity to Russia and Alaska's $10 billion annual budget. What is Sarah Palin going to do the second month? Why bring attention to Palin's budget decisions (she severally cut special education in her first budget before giving birth to a son with Downe Syndrome)? Sarah Palin did not even have a valid passport 2 years ago, is she really the best person to be a heart beat away from the oldest nominated presidential candidate who has had cancer, and heart disease?
John McCain has no executive experience, so why make the argument that Senate experience doesn't count? The difference between Democratic and Republican conventions was the GOPers couldn't stop booing, and the speakers couldn't stop blaming the media, the congress, and the rest of the world for anything and everything. Victimhood does like look good on the elephant, whether Senator Phil Gram calling Americans whiners, Sarah Palin complaining about the liberal media and the Washington establishment stating she doesn't have any experience, or John McCain kvetching that we would have lost Iraq if we had listen those people that wanted to withdraw 2 years ago (the people he is referring to... the American people).
$10 billion a month

What does the US get in return:
- $3.89/gallon gas,
- a huge national deficit,
- 4,000 plus service men and women dead,
- 50,000 military casualties,
- 6 billion inhabitants of the world that justifiable do not trust us as far they can throw us,
- American citizens committing war crimes then having it rebranded it as "enhanced interrogation,"
- a crippled and stretched-too-thin military,

McCain unsure how many houses he owns - Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen - Politico.com
McCain unsure how many houses he owns - Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen - Politico.com
McCain is so wealthy (more accurately his wife is so wealthy) that he doesn't know how many houses he owns. This story seems to really have gotten a foot hold amongst the political press. Obama certainly has taken advantage of it producing an ad with the politico.com interview already.
What I think about when I hear this story is Kerry flubbing this exact issue in 2004, he brought up Bush's tax returns and stated how much money Bush got refunded for owning a lumber company that made capital purchases. Kerry should have jump all over Bush's joke ("got wood?") by replying "I know where most of money comes from, and so does everyone in the room, because there is a bottle of ketchup on everyone's kitchen table. This guy is so wealthy and so out of touch that he doesn't have the faintest clue where his money comes from."
I know fighting the last battles is not productive, but indulge in my cathartic rant. Kerry should have used humor in that instant, it could have won him the election. It would have cast Kerry in a new light and would have shown Baby Bush as exactly what he is, which is a silver-spooned brat.
