QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 11:12 AM) there's no way that McCain was going to take all this abuse for solely a female on the ticket. I think you underestimate McCain

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) I don't think you can even get a good journalism job with that but I could be mistaken, it may be an awesome journalism school. I majored in radio broadcasting at Columbia College. I am proud to announce I will be running for president of the united states in 2032 at the age of 49.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 11:00 AM) Pawlenty has something in his backgound that was going to get hammered, even worse then what we're seeing now. are you saying that as a fact or as a hypothetical? I hadn't heard anything "horrible" about Pawlenty. (Not that I did a ton of research on him) Just the basic "ethical" issues we hear from almost every political figure.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 10:34 AM) If we are talking about who is a better manager, then look at how they went about choosing a VP. Not WHO they picked, but their methodology. Obama's campaign handled things much better and more thoroughly, it appears, than McCain did. I actually think McCain and Obama are about on par with each other as leaders, but Obama seems to have better management skills. Barack Obama SCHOOLED the Clinton political machine. That alone is a huge mark on how good of a manager Obama is.

WOW! Sounds more Bushian every day.... Palin Wants Independent Trooper-Gate Probe Called Off

Trying to Hide Palin's Problems.... GOP Set To Attack Obama's Character Remember, "This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates."

I would argue... surprise, surprise... that Obama is the better leader AND manager. I want a president who is both. The president needs to be able to see the whole picture. Top to bottom, left to right, all the way around. A person like that needs to be smart. But it's not "cool" to elect a pocket protector geek to be president. Most people say obama is a great orator but an empty suit. I argue he can see the whole picture better than most in recent history. but he doesnt give off that "pocket protector" persona because he is such a good speaker. But you also need a leader. Someone who can motivate a country. Bush had the opportunity and failed to wield it properly. I have said for a long time, Obama can motivate me to serve my country or sacrifice for the better food. John McCain couldn't motivate me to move my car because I'm blocking him in at a dinner party.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 09:43 AM) The entire population of Alaska is comparable to a slightly larger than medium sized city. If Alaska were a city, it would rank 17th in the nation. So, by extrapolation, there are 16 mayors and 46 governors more qualified to be VP, including McCain's second choice Tim Pawlenty (5+ years as Gov of Minnesota). Clearly Palin was a political stunt.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 07:09 AM) Hey guys, did you hear McCain is a POW?! I never knew until every speech at the GOP convention told me! i swear. It's like he never talks about it.

Palin wasn't thoroughly interviewed until the day before she was offered the VP:

Tuesday's TV Rations: I am setting the over/under at 15 million. I'd be under.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 10:52 PM) Does that include her belief that Alaskan pipeline projects are God's will? i didnt say all of her stuff was sane.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Is everybody convinced she'll make it to Wednesday night? If the very interesting McCain camp strategy of "Announce First, Vet Later" ends up turning up enough that Palin becomes radioactive, I assume they will get her to bow out gracefully, citing her parental demands and the desire to stay in Alaska, etc. After she formally accepts on Wednesday, it will take an RNC committee vote to get her off the ticket. Ya know... i got to thinking this afternoon. And too be fair to Palin, the fact that she is literally a politically nobody, all this stuff about her is being dumped on America all at once. It's a huge download. Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine if all of Obama's "issues" were downloaded on America in the course of 4 days. He'd be sunk. Some of her stuff isnt horrible, but it fits perfectly into the "she's not experienced" narrative very easily.

For those who are interested, a 63 page "vetting" of Palin by the Alaskan Democrats 2 years ago.

Freudian Slip? Boy, even the GOP Co-Chair doesnt know who she is

I know this was posted somewhere, but this might be some new insight:

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 02:59 PM) Here's the clip that got them riled up. It's so sexist for a WOMAN on CNN to DARE ask the campaign to prove their assertion that she is highly experienced and ready to be president.

McCain Cant take the heat: It looks like the McCain camp is now actively taking steps to punish media outlets that give them bad coverage.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) Too bad for McCain he didn't choose her instead. he still has 2 months to change his mind.

I've decided that i will no long attack Palin. According to the mcCain campaign, if I do, I'm sexist. And since I'm not, i dont want to be thought of as sexist. PS: I called it:

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) Definitely not, because the AIP stuff is fabricated left wing nonsense. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/john-stephens...ce-party-are-fa They were close, but had the wrong Palin..

McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis: "This election is not about issues. This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates."

WOW! just... wow:
