Obama is ahead on a lot of incidental indicators as well, such as outselling McCain on halloween masks (the candidate who has had more masks sold has won in the last 20 years), been ahead on labor day (all but 2 presidents?)... anyone have anymore? It'd be interesting to see.

Political history in the U.S. shows that voters are very reluctant to keep a political party in office for three straight terms.

Don't you guys think she wants to talk to the media? She must know how extraordinary this protective shield is and it has to be personally demeaning to her.

I think she's aware of her inability, and thinks of it more as a blessing than anything else.

Considering Biden has had almost no coverage the past couple of weeks, it's likely it'll end up falling by the wayside and go unnoticed.

Yeah, I was about to get on Biden lately. He's seriously been 'underperforming' as a runningmate. I mean this guy keeps doing small things that are starting to agitate me. Every now and then, he hits McCain good, but other than that, he's virtually invisible except when he's generating gaffes such as, "Hillary would be a better choice," or the things he's pulling today.

That's why I'm not going to count on him delivering a knock out during the debates. Just as much as he calls McCain friend, he might try to go light on Sarah because she's a poor ol' woman. We'll see though. He really needs to start watching himself though.

Obama CAN spin this into a postiive though. He can say, "Guys, remember when I told you that I chose Biden as a governance choice? I absolutely mean it, and you are starting to see that today. Joe and I aren't going to agree on everything, and that is a good thing, because it allows me to look at a situation from the widest perspective possible and will aid me in making the best decision possible. We saw what a 'yes' man got us the last 8 years. "

The joke's on us cos half the country buys it :\

its not that biden is being biden, its that he has opposite remarks to some issues than Obama, its ok to have that inside the oval office when nobody is listening but for the American public, have the 2 candidates going different ways on different issues will just bring more doubt into Obama's abilities

an ad isn't really an issue.

for what it's worth, I thought the ad was crap. Biden is giving real straight talk, luckily he doesn't get much coverage anyways, it would suck for this to actually get any attention though.

This election is about Obama, Palin and (out of necessity) McCain. No one cares about Biden. He could start pooping on babies and no one would notice.

I think it's a good thing. Biden is showing that he's his own person, can make his own decisions/opinions, etc. Stark contrast to Palin

And besides, at the end of the week no one will be saying "did you hear what Biden said about the great depression and FDR lol"

Besides, I think the news is going to be pretty centrally focused on the big "bailout" where we may as well just take $700 billion and light it on fire.

Yeah Biden is rock solid. His biggest scandal was forgetting to cite someone in a debate. He always cited them on the stump, but he forgets once and it's called plagiarism.

In real news, he has an awesome resume and isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Rock solid.

which goes hand in hand with Obama choosing a guy who wasn't necessarily a "yes man", but someone who would not always agree, and give his two cents.

The biden Gaffe's won't make much of a difference unless he accidently struck some major campaign narrative. If biden came out with something about Obama's ordering a fancy french dish at some diner, and being snobby, that would be huge news.

As is, the narrative of "le biden" is that he says dumb things from time to time, so the articles are written from that perspective.

It's a lot of dumb shit, and it could be bad, but so far it passes from the dialogue (as it should) pretty quickly.

What's this about the media vs. Palin's visit to the UN?
Click to expand...

Sarah Palin is meeting with some leaders at the United Nations today. Palin's campaign handlers had indicated to the Wall Street Journal that before the meetings at the UN there would be photograph opportunities in addition to print reporters being allowed to potentially ask a few questions. CNN was to provide television coverage of the event and would be the only one there doing so.

This morning before the meetings Elizabeth Holmes of the WSJ was informed that she would not be allowed to attend and an editorial producer from CNN was informed that he would not be allowed to attend either. Palin's reasoning behind it was that there were going to be no questions allowed at the event so it was only for pictures and video. So this pissed off all of the reporters who don't want to give the McCain/Palin ticket any "free" exposure without access to Palin. So there's basically a standoff between all of the news organizations and the McCain campaign. Unless Palin actually answers some goddamn questions the media is going to refuse to cover her.

opednews (Not Onion): Image of Virgin Mary Found In Sarah Palin's Bouffant



(Tampa, Fla) During a campaign appearance by Vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin at a retirement village in Tampa, Florida, onlookers were stunned to see what they believed to be an image of the Blessed Mother Mary embedded in Palin’s wrapped puffed-up do.

“At first I thought it was just one of those Love Bugs y’get caught in the car grill, ” said 82-year-old Hubert Henry. “But then it started glowin’ like the baby Jesus I seen last year in the window at the Stuckey’s just of Route 1 in Hulmville. Damn miracle, I tellya.”

McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds, said that while the selection of Palin was a miracle for the campaign, the viability of Palin being chosen by the Virgin Mary to appear in her hair was something he’d rather leave up to the voter.

“People, and that includes Christians, are going to make up their mind on the issues,” said Bounds. “If the fact that some people believe that the Blessed Mother of Jesus and Sarah being somehow intertwined is an issue, so be it.”

“I knew it. I knew it. I knew that girl was special,” said 96 year-old Edna Baily, ” I’m saying twelve Hail Marys then I’m pulling the lever for Sarah, that older fella and Jesus.”

That guy's a GENIUS! I think the Obama camp is letting the election take a breath. Can't be firing at all cylinders until the final stretch or else you'll run out of ammo.
