Obama and Biden have no clue what they are going to do if they get elected. They've been talking about change, but they have no idea what that means. They'll be winging it for the first couple of years. After that, Congress will be replaced by more conservative members and then things will run a bit more smoothly.

In the end, people will think Obama was great, but we'll know that he had little to do with the direction of the country.

But the candidate who has been criticized for having a bunker mentality when it came to the national media can now lay legitimate claim to being more accessible than either Joe Biden or Barack Obama.

In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions.

By contrast, Biden hasn’t held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn’t taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September. John McCain—who spent most of the primary season holding what seemed like one, never-ending media availability—hasn’t done one since Sept. 23. ....
