If smoking pot once when it was legal = pothead, what does the snorting and sharing illegal cocaine =? Gangster?

What I like reading is how she went up against the GOP, stopped the bridge to nowhere, sold the executive jet, and in general put the people's needs ahead
of the party or lobbies. McCain with his attempt a finance reform has done the same. For the middle it pulls me to that side, even though I was already against
the show from Obama. My wife may actually register at our not so new address now too. (We didn't move far, but my old neighbor is a volunteer and knows we
changed districts)
I think this helps more than hurts, and if they attack a lack of experience, it will shine back on Obama as well. I also think the big money at the DNC, the arrested newsman, and the general opulence of the event is not going to sit well with the middle. I haven't seen the bump that Obama got from the convention, but based on message boards no one is talking about his speech. |

She may have a lack of experience, but she still has more than Obama. And hers is at least as a governor. Oh and by the way, she is running for Veep, not
President.

My point was that the right won't make a big deal out of here smoking pot like they did with Clinton smoking pot, and then looking the other way when GWB was a known coke head and drunk. Just point out the hypocrites. Jesus would have been a liberal.

^She's one bullet away, or in the case of an elderly man, anything away. And I would disagree that she has more experience than Obama. One bio I
read stated that 4 years ago, she -- the small town girl from Alaska -- was dazzled by the lights of NYC. (Get out of Alaska much?)
In any case, IMO she is a most peculiar choice. I expected a dark horse, but not a housewife. She's got an interesting bio and track record, but what the hell would she say to Putin and Medvedev, or Ahmadinejad, or Hu Jintao? |

Gender says it all. This will in some way, split up the block Obama had going.

Sidenote, has Palin ever even been out of the country or do we have somebody that doesn't understand the world running on a ticket again?
Like Tri said, she was dazzled by NYC. Jesus would have been a liberal. |

I agree, and think the point that some had was the "didn't inhale" portion. Hypocrissy and political parties sadly go together on both sides, it
is just more obvious when the other side does it.

Just as many will throw their vote Obama's way for the first AA Pres, many non AA women will consider tossing their vote McCain's way to have our first female VP. It sets them one step closer to the Oval Office. Not everyone votes issues over emotions. I suppose if I was a female or AA instead oh a EA, I might vote the same, Just as I believe many Southern Democrats won't vote for Obama. The best Head on the NET!!! |

I dig the choice! My first impressions of her are awesome. She's got great characteristics. She's kinda hot. She has a son who inlisted last year on
9/11 and a four month old with down syndrome.
McCain needed someone like her. She alone is better than Obama. Checkmate, McCain. Bitches. |

This is refreshing in that since Reagan, I cannot find one person on any ticket that wasn't "like me." Her family comes out today and they look like you and me, not the Washington crowd. She speaks of representing me, not big government and special interests, something I've heard of from the left for 40 years without any action. And, her record, which towers over Obama's, proves that she represents the every day American. From the way the left is reacting to her, this ticket sinks the Obama-Biden ticket - she's going to be around a long, long time.

Question - Why was it such a joke when Dukakis did it but not Gov. Housewife?

When this thread is done, we need an independent judge to look it over. Whoever said the most ballsy and independent statements wins. And whoever said the
most predictable and partisan things, pro or con, has to go back to the Nut House.

My mom, in particular loves Hillary and it's not b/c of her XX chromosomal distribution. It's going to take a little more than a woman to get them to let go of Hillary, much in the same way it was going to take more than just a Democrat for Obama to pry their vote away from her...many don't understand it but there is a gravitas for some people with Hillary that's VERY strong. |
