Vancouver is 5-10 degrees cooler in the summer, average January high is 42 F. It’s a lot wetter than San Diego.
It makes me wonder if the electorate is weary of another round of One Party Rule.
It represents the greatest bait-and-switch of the 20th century, and the amazing grip that backward conservative philosophy of the Republican Party has on the “unwashed masses” (white uneducated Christians). As long as a candidate stands up and loudly proclaims “I’m a Christian, I believe that life believes at conception, I’m against same-sex marriage, and I’m for abstinence education”, he’s pretty much guaranteed a vote of a large fraction of the population, REGARDLESS of his economic policies. (Which policies happen to be heavily unfavorable for those unwashed masses). McCain has a 15-20 percent lead among whites without any college education. You’d think that people who didn’t make it into college would be all over Obama and his socialist policies. Yet, they are voting republican election after election.
That’s why I thought that Sarah Palin was a bad VP choice. She is a perfect candidate for white uneducated Christians, who typically vote Republican anyway. But she’s too far right to be attractive to democrats, independents, and anyone who does not believe that God has created the earth in six days. These polls are suggesting that I was wrong. We’ll see in two months.
