haha

Ayers was merely an incompetent Timothy McViegh. He has had everything just handed to him in life, including his position as professor. He is basically still the asshat kid of the CEO of Common Wealth Edison. I'm not surprised he has had his mitts in the Chicago Public school system, seeing how it is a total disaster. I wouldn't want this idiot to mow my lawn, let alone have any sort of say in important matters. *2 cents spent*

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 10:12 PM) McCain's ass is bruised after that speech. Somewhere at one of McCain's 7 homes, John McCain is rubbing his hiney. it wasn't even really an attack speech like the Obama camp reportedly wanted. She basically did what is the type of thing that is going to win, talk about issues and provide vision for the future.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 09:53 PM) Hillary's setting up her 2012 campaign as we speak I thought it was a good speech, especially to convince some angry Hillary voters to go with Obama.

I predict the Sox win the division by 3 games. Minnesota misses the playoffs as Boston takes the wild card spot.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:44 PM) And in a way, I'd like that, because then you'd have the GOP getting bit by the Electoral College bug. The Dems were bit in 2000. With them both bit, maybe we'll shelve that thing for Presidential elections finally. Won't happen IMO. The Dems who are currently complaining about it will fully endorse the electoral college if they think they have will have an advantage for a while.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) National polls are still useless. Check the swing states and do the math, that's where it matters (unfortunately). For sure. There is actually a good chance McCain gets the popular vote and loses electoral college (and the election).

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:25 PM) yeah, we went crazy over one (racially toned) ad. You think the Paris Hilton ad was racially toned? wow talk about reading WAY too much into something.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) lol, you say this like people in here work for the Obama campaign. Dude, I bet Obama reads all my posts.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) Then why hasn't it backfired for McCain? Who's the last national candidate that the Patton type strategy actually failed for? You guys just totally overreacted to some joke Paris Hilton ad. But hey, I'm done giving the Dems advice. Go with the 'McCain = Hitler' thing for all I care. The last candidate who failed with a shallow attack strategy? Goracle 2000. He just looked like a jackass.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:58 PM) Bunch of reasons why I think Hillary should be the attack speech. First and foremost, it has to be done. The Repubs got a much bigger bounce with their Zell Miller led "John Kerry wants to arm our troops with spitballs" "I wish we lived in the era when we could challenge people to a duel" insanity than the Dems did with their attempt to show off kerry's military background in 2004. If it didn't work I wouldn't be saying it needed to be done. You are under the false impression that such a campaign is a winning strategy for every election. Hey, but it will be interesting to see a bunch of crazy attacks on McCain, so go for it I suppose. I just think it would totally backfire.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) I agree. They still have to sharpen their claws against McCain though. They have gone negative and McCain passed them in the polls; this happened during the Dem convention and after the VP announcement. Not a good sign, they should be getting a bounce, not losing ground. The Dems don't need to "swiftboat" McCain, they need to prove how they are competent and better for the country. I don't think the hardcore Dems are going to convince moderates to hate McCain as much as they do. Face it, McCain is a likeable guy. What Obama needs to do is convince voters that he is going to be a great president; not convince voters McCain is a jerk.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) So, in prep for tonight, I'd like to say that if Hillary's speech isn't the sharpest, harshest anti-McCain speech of the entire convention, it's a mistake. I think the Clinton's would help the Dems better with a inspirational speech as to point out economic successes of the Democrat economic policies of the 90's. Then tie that into what Obama is going to do to improve the country economically. I understand that the hardcore Obama voters want blood and crazy attacks, but it's not working. The attacks on McCain are falling flat on their face, best to make the case that Obama has better ideas rather than just say McCain sucks.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Dammit, where's our Jomentum "Jomentum!"

Obama hasn't explained how he is going to pay for his massive 'free' health care plan. It needs major cost cutting initiatives. His energy plan is weak and needs more specefics. His tax cuts could very well be total bs, I'll believe it when I see it. His attack on capital, in a time when our economy needs all the capital it can get, is really dumb. ...the list could go on, but I think you guys get my point I understand that the college student with an El Che Guevara poster on their wall thinks Obama is totally a centrist (because compared to you he certainly is), but he really needs to explain his policies and solutions better. The whole 'Change' thing needs to be replaced with 'Improvement'. I don't want some crappy change which will make things worse.

I predict Sarah Palin or Kay Bailey Hutchinson
