Bill Clinton to appear on Larry King and talk campaign 2008

Bill Clintons on the economy and the election. It will surely be interesting to see what Bill Clinton has to say about how the 2008 presidential campaign is going.

Surely Bill would much rather see his wife running for office, so it may be said that you want to take Clintons responses with a slight grain of salt. It is clear that the economy is reemerging at the top of the list on voters minds.

In reality it's been said over and over, what are we going to do about the economy?

Surely we are on this topic as a nation and the candidates are aware of that. Then how is it that neither one of the candidates have been super clear.

The one thing that is clear is that our economy is losing ground and Bill Clinton is considered by many democrats to be an authority on presidential economics.

Sarah Palin arrives in Alaska - Greeted by Fairbanks residents

VP candidate, Sarah Palin just arrived in Alaska and I'm watching her right now in her most anticipated spot on the republican campaign circuit...and just as I predicted, she just recapped the same things she said before....almost verbatim....talking points....never actually talks about a particular....single social issue... other than "Our case for reform..." and "shake things up" ....OMG its hard to believe people think so shallow.

I don't care what party you're with, don't you demand a little more than this from a politician...a little more consistency.

She went through the usual movements of politics....thanked the military, tried to proclaim patriotism.

But it will go without saying that she will excite a lot of Americans who just wanted Hillary because she is a she....! It's kind of like Obama vs Hillary part 2.

"Shake things up in Washington."

"Mavericks of the senate..."

"Holding down the fort...."

"Take our message of reform..." Name one specific reform...

"The states luxury jet...sold..."

She pandered to the Alaskans...talking about smaller government....

"We will drill now to make this nation energy independent..."

"We need American energy resources....and we have it right here in Alaska...."

"Alaska will be a leader in energy policy..."

Sarah Palin talks about how we buy oil from foreign enemies, which is most definitely something we need to prevent, but she falls short when she fails to address what the reasons are that some of the foreign regimes may dislike America so much.

She will surely get a lot of folks excited about the republican ticket, even if they don't agree with her on issues. A lot of women want to see another women in high office, even if she is not the same in many other aspects. She has a controversial view on many different views such as abortion and .

McCain and Palin on the campaign trail

When it comes to actual issues, it seems that McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, just don't get it. They just continue on.

A day after the RNC, Sarah Palin gives a speech early Friday to a small town audience in Cedarsburg, Wisconsin. She seems to be giving a recap of the RNC where there was very minimal mention of actual economic issues.

She seems to be reading the pre written speech for the first time. Not able to hold it together, she eventually passes the torch to John McCain himself.

It's incredible how much repitition and lack of talk on the economy there was.

John McCain speaks about eilitism in Washington and the left wing of the America public, but let's look at Cindy McCains convention outfitter....

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, Taryn Rose: $475
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

It may seem laughable to some that McCain will talk about the elitisism among the left, yet they think they somehow deserve to adorn themselves with as much as $300,000 in fashion gluttony.

John McCain claims we should look at the record on Obama, knowing that most of the shallow minded people supporting his campaign who will never looking at anyones record and if they did, they probably wouldn't be republican.
