Marathon Pundit makes it onto Al Jazeera.net

Blogging from Eagan, Minnesota.

As I remarked yesterday, you bump into all kinds of people at a national political convention.

For intance, reporters who embellish a bit from Al Jazeera:

To beat Barack Obama, John McCain needs to emphasize his experience and that of his running-mate Sarah Palin.

She is the only candidate of the four who has public-office executive experience having run the largest state in terms of land-mass for the last 18 months.

A big issue, especially where I live, that McCain should focus on is fuel prices and utilising our limited oil (Note: that's not what I said) resources offshore.

What conservative bloggers call the 'drill now, drill here, pay less' position.

McCain should emphasise that he has had run-ins with President Bush, most famously during the 2000 election, but most recently two years ago when McCain supported a troop surge in Iraq despite opposition from Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, his defense secretary at the time.
