There's probably Asheville and Wilmington as well to consider though.
Biden needs to find a way to get people/media to pay attention to him then worry about getting the message out. At this point unless he makes another racial comment I think hes gonna sit on the sidelines the rest of the election. The last article I read from the MSM on Biden was about Bishops in the Catholic Church saying he needs to shut up about church beliefs basically as he has no clueOdrion said:

It is a precarious position, but it's still a fight that can be won. The goal is to make her look like a flash in the pan pick of political expedience who doesn't understand the issues. That's the proper inexperience to focus on. Yeah, you can't just get out there and go "lolz, she's only been a governor for two years!" But you can make her look not up to snuff and unvetted potentially.deadbeef said:

Hopefully we'll get some ammo once she actually, y'know, says something.

Which probably means waiting for the debates.notjackbauer said:
Either that, or hope that she gets carried away during a stump speech and goes off script.

Or just beat the drum of "I don't know who Sarah Palin is, the media hasn't gotten the opportunity to know her either". I mean the fact that she hasn't done a real interview should be a pretty big deal. Not to mention she has been repeating the same speech since the rnc. Some ppl want to make Barack out to be an empty suit, but she's the one that fits that bill.

Biden will only make news if it is bad for Obama from now till the debate. Joe doesn't bring in the viewers like nonsense coverage of Obama or any coverage of Palin.
He needs only to win the audience watching the VP debate.

Seriously, just run a campaign ad from now till november - 5 seconds, easy money.

Well, she kind of is right now. However, the acceptance of the GOP's definition of her alone is not going to be enough to carry her popularity through the the election.Sirpopopop said:
That's not to say that she's definitely going to flounder, or that she will get grilled extensively. I'm just saying that at some point, the narrative alone isn't going to serve as her basis for having proven herself.

To me, the phrase of the day has been: DRILL DRILL DRILL
Its such an defective mentality that I honestly don't know how to react. Seriously, I can't decide if its extreme stupidity or monumental selfishness. If they honestly think we can just drill drill drill and everything will be ok, then its stupidity. Now, I know people are dumb but I refuse to believe there exists that level of obliviousness to the simple fact of a NON-renewable resource. So, IMO the majority know but just don't give a shit and want as much comfort now without regard to the future of humanity.
I go to bed now wondering which is worse and which pisses me off the most.
Lipstick gate is disappointing, this was just sad.

random thoughts on how to take down palin...
the troopergate and like scams are incriminating, but won't stick. the problem is, and this is why she's so daunting, because any attack will be rebutted with "she's a strong independent woman, with five kids. five." *picture of her with dead moose* that shit is political dynamite
so, first things first - put her in her in her place. reinforce her position as a *VP* candidate. the GOP wants you to think this is Palin-McCain, not McCain-Palin. how exactly that can be done, who knows. but luckily with the debates will help people remember that she's not running for president. the GOP would want nothing more than a Palin Vs. Obama debate, even though she'd get considerably slaughtered, because that's what they want this to be about. so, yes, the debates really will help.

Oh . . . you appear to be ignorant on what happened. Let me enlighten you:deadbeef said:

The October suprise was determined by McCain when he selected Palin.
Obama just finished a very lengthy interview on Letterman, it was really great - he made a crack about the lipstick again, called palin the lipstick, and mccain's policy the pig...
in the context of the 'flawed logic' it was funny, but it COULD come back at him,,,

I don't think that people are dumb so much as there just is not enough debate on the merits. The fact of the matter is that, this summer, gas prices shocked people out of complacency. They're scared that someday in the near future, they might not be able to easily afford to drive to work. And while alternatives sound great for some undisclosed time in the future, we want something, anything, that will alleviate our fears about gas prices today.BobTheFork said:
Enter the drilling argument. At face value, it seems plausible that drilling here will bring down gas prices, thus saving us until true renewables come to fruition. Unfortunately, the discussion has been far from transparent, as nobody is really arguing for or against drilling in the following concise terms:
1. How much oil is there to be drilled domestically?
2. When will we see it?
3. How much will be pumped out daily?
4. How much does that represent on a national and global production scale?
5. How will this affect supply?
6. What realistic impact can this have on speculation?
7. For that matter, define the role of speculation to begin with.
Once you start looking at it in these terms, it doesn't seem all that promising even to the people who aren't opposing this on environmental grounds. Unfortunately, this debate is non-existent.

The GOP definition has stuck. Deal with it.
Now it's rant time:
Hillary supporters are supporting her because the only thing they care about is endorsing a woman. The evangelicals are supporting her, because, well she believes in the same anti-intellectual, anti-progressive, anti-science, anti-technology to keep America at the forefront of the world economy. The same type of regressive policies that have helped America start to lag the world instead of retaining our position at the forefront.
No one cares about what McCain said regarding "lipstick on a pig." He's clearly not a sexist according to America.
Obama is...
Once again, GAF continues to delude itself about Obama, and his ability to get himself out of his jams.
People are looking for Obama to fall.

Anyone watch Larry King? Chuck Norris is a fucking retard...
GhaleonEB said:
No there's not, other than the fact that Palin's sister's family was included in the judge's warnings. Otherwise, it's just a rehash of the whole trooper fiasco as we know it today. They dug up like 3 quotes from the judge out of court records, peppered them through the existing copy, and tried another angle.

Exactly. All this talk of Obama walking the Republicans into a trap is nonesense.Guts Of Thor said:
If anything Republicans keep walking the Democrats into traps. Every day they backtrack and defend themselves over silly comments etc is a day for McCain and company to push as the good guys and for the democrats to not get to be on topic.
Off Topic means Republicans push a topic that sways voters to them.

How could it come back anymore than it already has. The GOP distorted it despite the fact mccain has said the phrase himself. Until yesterday I was ready to believe this country could move forward but as I talk to midwest friends in ohio and other bigot places obama is having problems with I really wonder at times.
