Schmidt's lies are so easy to confirm. I guess he expects the same deference that Bush received. McCain is too smart a candidate for the Republicans. They would rather have a Democrat to kick then a smart Republican who won't do what he's told. Bush still thinks he is going to go down in history as the best and least understood President. He was so obviously bought and paid for that he would have to dense indeed to think virtually everyone didn't know that.

It is completely shocking to what a low level the GOP has sunk and it should be pointed out daily. Alaskans see much clearer what the McCain campaign attempts to do: they call it hijacking the Alaskan justice system and government. Thanks God if the media do their job and report truthfully!
