Garbage, it's no more than you deserved! -End-__________________________________________________________________________________At the Museum of Russian Art in South Minneapolis on Thursday, about seven governors, mainly from the West and Midwest, entertained Mitt Romney, the former presidential candidate and onetime vice-presidential contender, as their luncheon speaker before Ms. Palin appeared — a late addition to the meeting and the reason, at least one of the governors confided, that he had changed his plans and turned up for the lunch. At a Republican women's luncheon, Representative Heather A. Wilson of New Mexico noted that she had seen Todd Palin, the governor's husband (who was himself introduced, a tad confusingly, as the "future first second man"), introduce Mrs. McCain to the room, and tease that if he had "a crystal ball" a few years back, he might have asked a few more questions when Ms. Palin decided to join the PTA.Along these streets, there were also hard-sought, uncertain spottings of the rest of the Palin family, who had captured so much notice here. (Was that one of her daughters in downtown St. Paul?) Dick Wadhams, the Colorado Republican Party chairman, who said he had not met with Ms. Palin here either, said she had nonetheless already had an effect on his efforts; local offices in his state had an uptick, he said, in volunteers and donations.In the Spotlight, and Often Out of View ST. PAUL — The Sunday morning political programs will be jammed with candidates this weekend. Flip through the channels and see them all — Senators Barack Obama, John McCain, Joseph R. Biden Jr. Only one name, it seemed, was missing from the scheduled lineup: Gov. Sarah Palin, Mr. McCain's unexpected running mate.While Ms. Palin spent Friday greeting large, enthused crowds in the Midwest, chatting up families eating ice cream and shaking hands with police officers, she held no news conferences before the crew of reporters who are already trailing her, step by step, along her political journey.For the moment, Ms. Palin, in her first term as governor of Alaska, has been elusive when it comes to many reporters' inquiries. "Governor Palin will be focused on speaking directly to the American people about why she and John McCain will fix Washington," an aide to Ms. Palin said, adding that Ms. Palin has been interviewed by radio and newspaper reporters from Alaska.Even during her weeklong introduction to the nation at the Republican National Convention here (where she was, undeniably, the story of the convention), Ms. Palin was awfully hard to find. For all that people here were discussing her, her spunk, her political experience, her family life, Ms. Palin rarely emerged again in public, aside from her nationally televised speech, an obligatory appearance on stage with Senator McCain after his speech and some fleeting sightings. Ms. Palin's transformation could hardly have been more abrupt. Until this month she had tooled around her hometown in Alaska at the wheel of her own car. Now she was seen on the convention's final day being whisked away in the back of a sport-utility vehicle, huddled beside a political adviser, surrounded by grim-faced Secret Service agents and trailed by a paparazzilike clump of news photographers desperate for any glimpse of her, even through a darkened car window. Ms. Palin stayed out of view for much of convention, her aides said, simply because she was busy. Busy preparing to give the biggest speech of her life. And then busy, they said, holding a handful of private meetings; they named five such visits here — with Cindy McCain and Laura Bush; Phyllis Schlafly; Alaska's delegation; leaders of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee; and a small group of governors, most of whom said they already knew her.A sampling of state party chairmen and top fund-raisers said they had not met with Ms. Palin in the passing days, as some might have expected. Still, among the Republican chairmen here, no one seemed to mind in the least. "With a national scene that she's pretty new to, she has a lot of other things to do than to meet people like me," said Erik Iverson, the chairman of the Montana Republican Party, who (like so many other state chairmen here) said he felt certain he would be seeing Ms. Palin campaigning in his state within the month. "This is the first time we have heard a presidential candidate or a vice-presidential candidate even talk about what it's like to live in rural America, and believe me, they were listening," Mr. Iverson said. "All over the Western United States, there were a lot of heads nodding." ニュース 人権 抗議 支持 暴動 虐殺 チャンネル桜 中国 チベット ラサ ダライ・ラマ オリンピック 聖火 開幕式 鳥の巣 メインスタジアム メダル 世界記録 選手 選手村 陸上 水泳 体操 独立 弾圧 蜂起 福田 首相 胡主席 胡錦濤 ロシア グルジア Hon.Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Florida, Republican Ted Poe Texas,election D-New Jersey 12th District Princeton Trenton

People Are a Trip, Example #55

[Originally on MOLI.com] The question is, "Do you think there is election fraud in this country?" Wayne thinks that's just about the the silliest question ever. The pink door behind him is on a small cross street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, and that hat, well, I don't know where he got that nice hat."People Are a Trip" is a video series shot with a crew of one (me!) in New York City. I do spontaneous interviews with people on the street and with influential underground musicians. They answer my blunt questions with the truth of the moment. They are hilarious. No, poetic. Well, maybe quite philosophical.

LOTT: Obama's gun ban rhetoric
Despite all the Democratic claims to the contrary, Mr. Obama is undoubtedly the most anti-gun candidate ever nominated by a major party for president. A couple of weeks ago, Brian Schweitzer, Montana Democratic governor, told national reporters that Mr. Obama "Ain't ever going to take your gun away." An Obama adviser, Stanford Law Professor. . .

Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer ropes them in at convention

Barack Obama Is Beating John W. McCain... In Montana
Between 2000 and 2004 George Bush increased his share of the vote in Montana from 240,178 (58%) to 266,063 (59%). But Montana is no Utah and the Democratic Party there has been in the midst of a robust renaissance. Today Rasmussen announced that if the election were held today, Obama would beat McCain-- by 5 percentage points.
