"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone." --McCain adviser on Sarah Palin, to CNN
"Her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic." --McCain source with direct knowledge of the process to brief Sarah Palin
Wow. That does it for me. 2 unnamed sources that are supposed to be close to McCain are dissing Sarah Palin. They must be right, because they were afraid to give their names!

Based on their handling of the campaign I wouldn't take advise from McCain advisors either.

Selecting Palin may have been the biggest piece of advice that should have been ignored.

I remember thinking the day they announced Palin that it was a smart move and perhaps enough for McCain to win. Theoretically, choosing a woman would attract the bitter Hillary supporters, and the fact that she's actually easy on the eyes... But I'm so glad I was wrong. I can't even listen to her voice, much less what she has to say.

----
The author misrepresents Obama's tax plans in a couple of places. The Bush tax cuts are being kept for a majority of taxpayers, not being allowed to lapse as the author states. The capital gains tax is a progressive tax, so the "half of the people own stocks, therefore half the people are getting a tax hike" line doesn't work.

Though taxes on business will likely be going up. How do you think they will make up for the loss of revenue? (Hint, it won't be coming out of CEO's salaries....)

Half the people own stocks tax also does not distinguish between stocks held for pensions or those who buy stocks personally so that kinda puts a crook in the argument.

I love links to the American Thinker. It's like asking a PETA supporter how they would feel about having a lobster dinner.

Tax Cut Facts
Except it doesn't take into account the fact that he won't renew the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts resulting in a net increase in taxes.
