Zoned off far away so none of the politicians can actually hear you. Outnumbered by cops 2-1. Pepper spray or arrest await anyone who objects.

From what little of Palin I know thus far, she seems to be about as good a pick from a major party as libertarians could hope for. But how McCain picked her is a bit disconcerting: Sarah Palin pumps her fist as she is introduced to supporters at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, Friday. John McCain on Friday announced a running mate whom he met only six months ago and with whom he spoke ...

My prediction is given the indirect hit. Gustav will be more like Opal than Katrina on New Orleans. Still bad for southern Louisiana though.

AP - There's no room at the Xcel Energy Center for maverick Ron Paul, so his acolytes have packed their cars, hitched rides on "Ronvoys" and will pitch tents at Ronstock '08 in Minneapolis in defiance of next week's GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.

Update 10:30AM EDT by DS: See also Millwx's comprehensive update and forecast and our own BiPM's meticulous chronicle of the Republican mendacity following Katrina. Gustav reclaimed hurricane status with an impressive display of intensification this morning thanks to low wind shear and the most storm conducive water in the Atlantic ocean. The 5 day forecast cone shows a landfall centered on central Louisiana. Latest advisory on Hurricane Gustav from the NHC: DATA FROM AN AIR ...

This is clever fear mongering. While I agree Gustav will cause damage, at this point Hanna will only be Category 1 and it's too early to speculate on the rest. Although, the Cape Verde analysis is potentially correct. The odds are at best 2 of those will become major players.

The Kos is looking partially right. It will be stronger than expected, but it is not looking like a direct hit on New Orleans.

as a political prognosticator, i have limited supernatural powers (for example, at one point i predicted that jim gilmore would emerge from the pack to capture the republican nomination. on the other hand on the morning of the iowa caucuses i predicted that the nominees would be obama and mccain, with obama winning.) but here's a stab. in a month or two sarah palin will be a kind of american folk hero. and john mccain ...

I'm supposed to be finishing my tenure file today and writing syllabi, but seeing as how my presence here as an Alaskan makes me undeservedly relevant for the next ten minutes, I'll offer some a few local observations about Palin.She's likable and -- for what little it's actually worth to say this, given the political clown show this state has become -- has been a decent governor. I don't know how much this will actually ...
