McCain says he will nominate justices in the mold of Justice’s Roberts and Alito. History will prove these two to be among the Court’s very best. Kathryn Jean Lopez reminds us of a potential Obama nominee:

Does anyone remember the Supreme Court? When asked in January about President Bush’s legacy, I will without hesitation answer: “Chief Justice Roberts. Justice Alito.” And yet judges and the courts have barely been talked about this cycle. According to Barack Obama what “matters at the Supreme Court is those 5 percent of cases that are truly difficult. In those cases, adherence to precedent and rules of construction will only get you through 25 miles of the marathon. That last mile can only be determined on the basis of one’s deepest values, one’s core concerns, one’s broader perspectives on how the world works and the depth and breadth of one’s empathy.”

Move over emanations and penumbras. We’ll have empathy on the Obama Court. With that — and international law — who needs the U.S. Constitution?

The Constitution itself has been perserved best by George Bush’s appointment of John Roberts as its Chief. An Obama presidency would give the Constitution such enemies as has been Justices Ginsberg and Stevens. Maybe worse. Don’t let him.

Well, yeah. This on Rush Limbaugh from Ed Morrissey. No wonder they hate Limbaugh so. He’s right and he always seems to unmask the fraud.

On polls and pessimism, Rush is dead on target. Those of us who watched the Star Tribune’s MinnPoll noticed this same dynamic every race. It would run heavily towards the Democrats until the last two iterations, when suddenly the race “tightened”. That’s why the Times and CBS (and others) publish polls with ridiculous gaps of 14 and 16 points in party identification — because most people won’t check the samples or the methodology. They want to create a story line that generates pessimism in Republicans and depress turnout, which then makes the polls a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Polls are hired by the MSM to convey their agenda. What a big lie they all have been. Don’t let them do it to America.

From Mark Steyn:

To govern is to choose. And sometimes the choices are tough ones. When has Barack Obama chosen to take a stand? When he got along to get along with the Chicago machine? When he sat for 20 years in the pews of an ugly neo-segregationist race-baiting grievance-monger? When he voted to deny the surviving “fetuses” of botched abortions medical treatment? When in his short time in national politics he racked up the most liberal – ie, the most doctrinaire, the most orthodox, the most reflex — voting record in the Senate? Or when, on those many occasions the questions got complex and required a choice, he dodged it and voted merely “present”?

If as Joe Biden asserts, Obama will be tested within his first six months. Does this mean that if Americans are targeted, Obama will have his Secretary of State vote “present” to a UN Security Council statement of condemnation.

Both John McCain and Sarah Palin have domanstrated they will indeed make tough choices and go against their own party.

From both and left and right. Here’s some from Professor Hanson:

Why did the greatest furor against Palin originate with women, both liberals like a Gail Collins, Maureen Dowd, or Sally Quinn, or conservatives such as a Peggy Noonan or Kathleen Parker?

So far, none of them has adduced the necessary arguments that would justify their venom against Palin: they have not demonstrated that Vice Presidential nominee Palin has less government or executive experience than does Presidential nominee Obama; they have not shown that she has said anything in two months as disturbing as what Joe Biden says almost any day, and, in that vein, they have written few columns about Biden’s lunatic assertions, such as FDR addressing the nation on television as President in 1929, or that our nation’s enemies will test Barack Obama, and his reaction will so disappoint the American people that his polls will immediately sink; they have not shown that Palin’s ideas about shrinking government and keeping taxes low are less sound than Obama’s in time of economic downturn to raise aggregate taxes and expand government. So whence the vitriol, especially the frequent invective about Palin’s family, education, accent, or mannerisms, or the rather sexist suggestions that her looks bewitched either McCain or others?

At least from the rallies that features Palin these voices do not resonate. And why is it that it was ok to shed tears for Obama at his meer utternace of “change” while its not ok to just take Sarah Palin for what she is, has been and the example she’s set?

In the American Thinker.

The point is simple: Don’t believe the Obama hype coming out of the mainstream media. If the media were truly objective and unbiased, they would be covering the race much differently. Instead of trying to browbeat the country into voting for Obama, they would be analyzing the issues and factors that favor and disfavor both candidates. Instead of focusing on college students and intellectuals, they would be focusing on working-class and middle-class voters, especially “Hillary Democrats.” These voters may very well determine the election. Yet this huge story is being ignored by the MSM.

Furthermore, the media would not so consistently confuse intensity of support for breadth of support. Granted, Barack Obama’s supporters tend to be more enthusiastic about their candidate than John McCain’s supporters are about him. Leftists are always looking for their earthly messiah. But this does not mean that Obama’s supporters, come election day, will outnumber McCain’s. Whether in support of McCain or in opposition to Obama, I predict these voters will go to the polls. Contrary to the wishful thinking of Democratic pundits, they are not staying home. These voters may be unexcited, but they are not apathetic. And 51% of “unexcited” voters will defeat 49% of even the most “inspired” voters. Every time.

Attorney Steve M. Warshawsky lives in Manhattan’s liberal upper west side. He’s has been blogging regularly that he’s unconvinced about the election’s inevitability.

…is the IBD/TIPP poll.

The poll ideed has Obama leading and doing so in three of four regions of the country, save the south. Interestingly but not unpredictably Obama has a wide lead among urban voters whereas McCain-Palin leads in both suburban and rural areas.
