Palin plays well in Springs, says El Paso County GOP official

EN ROUTE TO ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Republican presidential hopeful John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate is playing well in Colorado Springs, said El Paso County GOP Chair Nathan Fisk.

"I haven't talked to a single person who's disappointed," Fisk told PolitickerCO.com on Friday. "It's really an outstanding choice. It's really perfect."

Palin also shows "a clear contrast" between McCain and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, the Democratic nominee who chose U.S. Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) as his running mate, Fisk said.

"It's one thing to say that you're for women's rights and there's no glass ceiling, and it's another to pick a woman as your vice president," Fisk said.

    Is Rahm Emanuel good for New York?

    Just about every story written about Rahm Emanuel since Barack Obama selected him to serve as White House chief of staff has described him as the tough Chicago operative who became the consummate Washington insider. But how sensitive will the bulldog at Mr. Obama’s gate be to New York interests?

    Who's afraid of a filibuster?

    Nobody can doubt that the Republicans in the Senate will obstruct as soon as that seems politically safe. Right-wing pundits, from Rush Limbaugh to the Wall Street Journal editorial page are already egging them on furiously. But is there enough muscle behind that filibuster threat to block Mr. Obama’s mandate?

    Democrats still can't win the South, but it doesn't matter

    Something funny happened last week: A liberal Democrat from Chicago, running on a ticket with a liberal from Delaware, won the White House by a comfortable margin. And while Barack Obama did actually win three states in the South, his triumph should do away with the notion that a “Southern strategy” is essential to the Democratic Party’s long-term viability at the presidential level.
