There is a lot of news going on today during this holiday weekend. Palin was a coup and could be a game changer because she fires up the conservative wing of the party.

Also, keep an eye on Palin’s good government instincts to be compared to Obama’s rapid rise through the Chicago political scene without saying anything about some of things that go on in the Windy City. How can someone go from state senator to presidential candidate and not see or hear anything that is routinely in the Chicago newspapers.

The GOP did the right thing by not competing with Gustav for attention — maybe there will be a better result in New Orleans this time tomorrow also with the lessons learned from Katrina.

I just hope the storm doesn’t cause much damage to New Orleans. That’s the last thing that city needs after what happened last time.

But I do appreciate your desire to point out another potential problem. Credit cards were one of the reasons that HELOC’s really got run up in the last five years of liberal mortgage lending.
