I love chess. The reason I love chess is because of the strategy. I am a strategist at heart. My favorite book, my bible, is the Art of War by Sun Tzu. Politics is strategy; better yet, it's warfare. It's a chess game with an incredible number of pieces. And, it's not turn-based. That means, no one is going to wait for you to make a move. If you don't move, you start losing pieces. Right now, this chess game is between Barack Obama and (maybe) John McCain. It's my belief that Obama is beating McCain handily. However, it's not the shutdown and closeout that I like to put my opponents through.

I want Obama to put McCain away hard and fast. That means he needs a strong piece on his side. Someone who can move in quickly, take the queen, and put the king in the kind of check that makes other players think long and hard about their next move. Obama needs the people of Alaska. He needs Anne Kilkenny.

I first read about Anne Kilkenny in an article that my friend sent me: Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”. So, many people have something to say about Sarah Palin but they're incredibly afraid to say it. Then, I found an article on Sarah Palin by Anne Kilkenny herself: About Sarah Palin. Mrs Kilkenny is a woman from Wasilla, Alaska. She knows Sarah Palin and the Palin family. She knows the truth. Most importantly, she's willing to talk for anyone who's willing to listen.

But most importantly, the people of Alaska know the truth. These are the people that the Obama campaign need at this very moment in time. Sarah Palin has messed up a lot and left a lot of bad feelings in Alaska. It's time she get vetted properly and publicly.

It's time Sarah Barracuda know a little something about REAL politics!
