Golden State Republicans are hoping Sarah Palin is going to turn some of that blue landscape into red with a big Sept. 26 Orange County rally for the GOP VP candidate — where at least 15,000 are expected. That will allow 10,000 general admission folks to get tickets through the state GOP, and another 6,000 or so party volunteers and VIP's to see the Alaska governor in person in her first major public event in California.
Meanwhile, powerhouse Bay Area GOP fundraiser Kristen Hueter says Palin's going "gangbusters," already a sell-out ticket for her Sept. 25, $1,000-a-head Woodside fundraising lunch at the home of Tom Siebel.

A GOP Congressional comeback in 2008?

There certainly isn't. Barack Obama has been manipulating the press for years. His manipulation didn't make the media mad, though, because reporters were willing accomplices who have been trying to get Obama elected. It's the thought that John McCain could be manipulating them that has the media seeing red:

But, if you were really savvy, you'd "manipulate" the media into a stampede of lurid drivel deriding her as a Stepford wife and a dominatrix, comparing her to Islamic fundamentalists, Pontius Pilate and porn stars, and dismissing her as a dysfunctional brood mare who can't possibly be the biological mother of the kid she was too dumb to abort. Who knows? It's a long shot, but if you could pull it off, a really cunning media manipulator might succeed in manipulating Howie's buddies into spending the month after Labor Day outbidding each other in some insane Who Wants To Be An Effete Condescending Media Snob? death-match. You'd not only make the press look like bozos, but that in turn might tarnish just a little the fellow these geniuses have chosen to anoint.

Obama's criticism notwithstanding, McCain's payment patterns are the stuff of feminist dreams.
McCain's 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.
On average, according to these data, women in John McCain's office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes. In fact, all other things being equal, a typical female staffer could earn 21 cents more per dollar paid to her male counterpart — while adding $10,726 to her annual income — by leaving Barack Obama's office and going to work for John McCain.
