It's probably been mentioned here but even though Pawlenty is the safest pick for McCain (and he's crazy not to take him) it really undercuts their whole "no experience lolz" attack line, because they'd be putting a green governor a heartbeat away from running the free world.
Please let McCain's campaign think the same way as this.

McCain/Mittens 08

FUCK YEAH

Are they intentionally putting bad speakers on tonight before Barack Obama?

Just caught the end of Kaine's speech. Biden was a GREAT choice.

Richardson is much better already than Kaine was.

Flipflops lol

I wish this was more policy presentation/justification and less "YEAH GOBAMA GOOO!", but I guess that's its purpose.

Yeah things get pretty repetitive... they got to drive home the message.

Thankfully its not based around "terror" like the GOP 2004 convention.

Well, Bill Richardson was rooting for Ron Paul pretty good there until he started talking about a right that isn't actually in there.

Obama'll probably do a fair sight better than Bush, but I wouldn't delude myself into thinking he'd defend the Constitution worth a damn when it gets in the way of so much shit he wants to do.
 
Okay I've had to switch to PBS coverage. I don't understand MSNBC and the other networks who think we'd rather listen to their talking heads than the people who are actually on stage.

Did he talk about eliminating Income Tax or disbanding the Federal Reserve?

Didn't think so.

Obama was a fucking Constitutional Law professor. What part of his platform goes against the constitution?

No, he talked about electing someone that would actually respect the Constitution.

He couldn't be seriously talking about McCain or Obama, so that leaves few options. :lol

They have to explain to the viewers in elementary terms what they are actually saying. Alabama doesnt get it. :lol

I was in Minnesota a couple months ago. The radio kept blaring ads about them needing more volunteers to help work the GOP convention. I think the combination of Minnesota being a blue-state and GOPers often not exactly being the volunteer-type, was making them desperate for help. :lol


No that 10,000 number was talking about Florida. They can't get 10,000 people to see the VP for the first time in FLORIDA!!!

Given this & this, I fail to see how he could possibly reconcile a lot of that with this.

Of course, it's always a toss up of fail between Republocrats as to which parts of the Bill of Rights they like.
