[Rhodes22-list] The end of the Rove era -- Political

[Herb Parsons]

Rob,

Do you not see how self-conflicting your statements are? McCain is left 
of the middle. If he "lurches" right, he moves TOWARDS the middle, not away.

I don't place many bets that are not sure things, but here's one I will.

$100 says that Palin successfully runs for national public office, 
maintaining a conservative right agenda.

Wanna put our money where your mouth is?
