Palin Says Obama Would Diminish "The Prestige Of The United States Presidency"

.........

Now why could that possibly be?

-678.91


I can only imagine what tomorrow will bring.

 

[Kintaco]

if you have employer matching funds, there is never a bad time to start a 401k. Not even the stock market could beat the return you effectively get with an employer match.

Yeah I agree, but I guess I worded it wrong. Would the market affect my 401k, so when the market recovers would I see a boost at all?

 

[Stoney Mason]

Even Drudge can't spin this shit as a positive anymore

"Brutal"

 

[kkaabboomm]

2 things.

fuck us (-678.91)

and for those wondering about cnn not moving Virginia:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/09/virginia.battleground/index.html

they'll do it next week (they update their 'poll of polls') and if its outside some preset range, they call it. so provided new va polls for this upcoming week dont change, then they'll update the poll of polls and move it.

probably right before the debate.

Yeah I agree, but I guess I worded it wrong. Would the market affect my 401k, so when the market recovers would I see a boost at all?

Don't ever factor the market into your 401(k), dollar-cost averaging pretty much nullifies it. It's a good time to invest though, especially if you can afford it and you have employer match.

Are you saying we can't have a N****r in the whitehouse? That's what it sounds like you saying.

Sheesh. Lady, you are the one married to secessionist.

Beck on TV will push my brother to yell at me to change it or he gets up to do it.

The other guys are complete tools or are entertaining. Beck is a mindfuck to reason.

Well Beck did write Loser, so he does some pretty crazy things. Have you seen him dance?

So uh... some of my Obama supporting friends are claiming McCain is a racist because he pointed at Obama and said "THAT one" during one of their finger pointing pissing exchanges during the debate. Is this getting any similar response in the press? Please say no, what a joke :lol

Wow @ Palin. She really has no shame.

Not that he's racist, but that he's a condescending prick who disdains Obama. Which is true.

Going back a bit to the economist, just noticed Dani Rodrik's latest smackdown on the magazine here - http://rodrik.typepad.com/dani_rodriks_weblog/2008/10/will-globalization-be-reversed.html

OK, I am re-reading The Economist (even a broken clock shows the correct time twice a day, right?) and in its latest issue Zanny Minton Beddoes gets the big picture right, I think:...

...

But then Zanny follows up with the following, which reads almost like a parody of The Economist:

...

OK, I grant that "freer and more flexible" is better than "heavy handed" but that would be true regardless of what follows after these qualifiers. This isn't analysis; it's ideology.

And fantastic ideology at that!

Must be during the weekends or Friday, because I didn't think they ever sold primetime slots.

Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of airtime on CBS, sources confirm.

The Obama campaign will air a half-hour primetime special on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.

Sources say the Obama camp is also near a deal with NBC and Fox. It’s not yet clear if an ad buy is locked on any other network, however, or if the duration or time period is the same.

When the Dow crashed hard last week, Campbell's Soup was the only stock in the S&P 500 to go up.

Make of that what you will.

Well not really but I said I liked when Perot did it.

"Obama purchases half hour of primetime on CBS, also in talks with FOX, NBC... DEVELOPING... "

Zuh

HELL YES!

While others often mock Perot for his infomercials, I've praised him for doing this in 1992 because they work. A third-party candidate leading after running infomercials? Not a coincidence.

So now Obama has decided to pull a similar stunt, something I've always wanted to see. Maybe it'll be on the Sunday night before the election, timed so that McCain's camp has little-to-no time to respond while Obama gets a convention speech-like bump in the following day or two.

I love the killer instinct of the folks running his campaign.

 

[Fragamemnon]

You can always just put your 401k money into bonds instead of stocks, usually you can choose from a whole basket of potentially disastrous investment vehicles when you allocate 401k money. Just please please please don't be a total idiot and put money into your own companies' stock.

Someone over at CR has a funny nickname- "The Notorious A.I.G."

 

[DrEvil]

They're speaking at the same time. :lol

They're all pointing at your avatar... which is.. Obama.

Self-Centred assholes!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Not that he's racist, but that he's a condescending prick who disdains Obama. Which is true.

And true the opposite way as well. But that's obvious, and not racism.

Madonna tells Palin to "Get off of my street" at a concert in a way that is completely not annoying and totally not stupid.

Someone on the daily show made that jab. I hadn't even thought of the comment being like that until it was brung up, either way you cut the quote at the least it's dehumanizing and disrespectful. I say if anything McCain does more damage in his debates with his attitude towards obama than obama being strong on what he wants to do.

Holy poop. See what I said about the dead space we have after the debates end? The Obama camp knows. THEY KNOW.

How did I feel about Sen. McCain stating “You probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac before this"[?]

Well Senator, I actually did. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person. I have a bachelor degree in Political Science from Tennessee State, so I try to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I have a Master degree in Legal Studies from Southern Illinois University, a few years in law school, and I am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from the University of Memphis. In defense of the Senator from Arizona I would say he is an older guy, and may have made an underestimation of my age. Honest mistake.
However, it could be because I am a young African-American male. Whatever the case may be it was somewhat condescending regardless of my age to make an assumption regarding whether I was knowledgeable about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The "Oliver" guy from the second debate.

I can already predict the McCain response:

"Senator Obama, showing new proof that he is elitist and out-of-touch would spend millions of dollars in an infomercial, while millions of Americans on main street can't even watch television because they've been evicted from their house"
