    I shop at Wal-Mart, and my husband and son work there. If that makes me a "Wal-Mart woman," Mr. McCain is in a lot of trouble. Wal-Mart tends to do well when the economy goes south, so I would bet that there are many "Wal-Mart women" who would rather shop elsewhere, but have to watch every penny,

    Wow. Sure seems like Eleanor needs to get out of the Beltway.

    Yes, things seem bleak, but I wouldn't characterize the GOP as "lost its way." This is the same party that got things fixed 6 years after the Nixon humiliation, and it seems very similar to that time. A naive, unknown Dem who will get elected - then proceed to humiliate our country and his party - leading to a resurgent GOP victory in 4 years.

    To steal from her column, this piece makes me think that Eleanor "must be smoking somthing."

    I am a woman who makes less than $60,000 a year. I do not have a degree, but some college. I don't understand. I shop at Wal-Mart sometimes other times local businesses and Target gets some of my money too. I am sick of being pigeon holed into these ridiculous categories. I am from the Midwest, so my salary is good compared to some, but I work with people who have a bachelor???s degree or even a bachelor and a master's degree that don't make $60,000 a year.

    This poor poverty stricken female who makes less than $60,000 a year and is forced to shop at Wal-Mart occasionally for a bargain is voting for Obama.

    Funny, that describes me! I shop at Walmart, and fall within the described wage range. Wahoo!

    Comment: The GOP's biggest fear is not that Obama is a black radical muslim socialist, but that he will in fact be a great President. That would mean the next Republican President to feel the sunshine on his face in the Rose Garden would be a LONG LONG way off!

    So, they bring up all the same old crap out of the basement, without even bothering to check out the truth. Here are the answers to all the Obama smears using various trusted non-partisan sources. Investigate for yourselves before believing anyones version of the facts.
