Participantbsrsharma: The GOP has been hijacked by the Religious Right, as evidenced by the swoon over Mike Huckabee who, in my opinion, is damn near unelectable. He shares a similar history to that other boy from Hope, namely some significant skeletons in his closet.
I might be a jaded arch-conservative, but I did really enjoy Obama’s speech, as well as watching him energize the younger vote. We have yet to see the Hillary machine go into full attack-dog mode, but you can bet this will happen shortly. How well Obama handles that will be predictive of his overall chances.
On another note entirely, it is interesting to watch McCain’s resurgence after being written off for dead just a few short months ago.
This will be a very interesting race. Even more interesting is the response of the American people: Not apathy, but energy.

Participantdrunkle: Since when is referring to a dolt as a dolt an ad hominem attack?
Ann Coulter is not an author, nor is she a political commentator. Rather, she is a lightning rod for the right and great entertainment value. Taking her seriously is like taking Rush Limbaugh seriously. They are both there for ratings, and to invite fire, and little else.

Participantgold_dredger_phd: Hoo-f**king-ah! Outstanding synopsis. I especially agree with the estimation of Gore Vidal. I’ve seen him on talk shows before, dripping contempt for anyone not able to understand (and, more importantly, agree with) him.
Don’t forget the king of self-aggrandizement and self-attribution: Noam Chomsky. Noted apologist for Pol Pot as well.
Naomi Wolf is an absolute dilettante when it comes to this type of writing, and she is clearly out of her depth here. This type of tired polemical writing should have gone out with the ’60s and early ’70s, especially the repeated invocations of Mussolini and Hitler. I especially enjoyed the hysterical bon mot of: “I will no longer speak out when they come seize my friends!” I don’t find it easy to equate her with Diedrich Bonhoffer, whom she was undoubtedly referring to.

ParticipantJosh: No, Fallbrook does not have an acreage minimum. My understanding is that Bonsall does, though. I know the Rolling Hills Estates properties require a 2ac minimum, and several of the other developments require them as well.
The neighborhood I am in is older, and the lots are bigger as a result (we are on 1.2ac). The newer developments don’t have lots that large, but they are considerably bigger than the cheek to jowl developments you see in Temecula or Murrieta.
Bunny: Fallbrook is definitely eclectic. You have a real interesting mix of artists/artisans, Marines (current and retired) and Mexican/Central American.
