A RETRACTION

         Months ago Horsefeathers predicted an Obama-Mc'Cain showdown, with Obama the winner. At the time we gave no thought to the Vice Presidential candidates. Now we officially retract our prediction. Who would have imagined the "candidate of change" would pick the bloviating, mean spirited (remember Judge Bork?)plagiarist Joe Biden, the living embodiment of all that is wrong with Washington, a man who has seen everything and learned nothing? More importantly though, who would have guessed that Mc'Cain would pick Sarah Palin, the quintessence of all that is best about grown up America? This choice by Mc'Cain is clarifying. We have a contest between talkers and doers. When the jihadis come over the hill, Obama and Biden will greet them with a torrent of words; Mc'Cain and Palin will lock and load and you can count on their aim to be true. With this one bold and brilliant choice, Mc'Cain has turned the election into one between spoiled children and mature adults. We have faith that America will recognize the difference.
If it does, Mc'Cain and Palin will win.
