Tues/Wed 2nd Chance Clearinghouse For Posts That Deserve Another Look - Updated Daily
This daily post is a clearinghouse for links to posts that either flew
by too fast, didn't get the attention they deserved, or are so good
they need to be up even longer...
ANYONE can link a post here. If you do, please describe it briefly and tell us why it deserves another look.
The quality of posting around here seems to be getting very good, and some of the better ones are coming from new faces! This is a good place to highlight them, but they are moving fast again and the archives are still messed up, so get them linked here!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take the time to rec this post, even if you don't read any of the links or add anything. It only works if it makes it to READER REC everyday. If it barely makes it, it gets bounced off and good links are lost.

Keeping with my theme of following Idaho's 1st congressional district race ... more good news! Think we're winning this one.

Palin is the #1 drag on the ticket, above George Bush.

Astral66 put up this pic of Obama, on the heels of Palin's shopping trip at Neiman Marcus. Who is the elitist and who is more like the common man?

Sarah Palin's college years left no lasting impression-LA Times
. . . The former classmates who do recall her paint a portrait of a young woman who, like many freshmen, went from hometown stardom to college obscurity.
. . . As soon as she graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, she set her sights on leaving Alaska.
. . . "Everybody who grew up in that town at that time was looking for a way out," said Overstreet, one of the few college classmates who had anything like a real memory of Palin. "We wanted to be more and do more."
. . . "Everybody liked her, but I could tell she was very calculating," Blackburn said
. . . Hagerty said. "She didn't make a big deal out of things like other people did. She talked about politics and history and what was going on in the world. I was like, whatever, I don't care about that stuff."
------------
She certainly doesn't talk about politics and history now, does she?

But she did get out - she went to Hawaii for college for a short while.
