Biden is kicking ass on Meet the Press, this guy OWNS. How is Palin going to compete with this?

As opposed to what, not being followed at all?
No, it can be altered through the Amendment process, which is lengthy and requires ratification by state legislatures. Of course it's not perfect, and if you're saying I said otherwise, you put words in my mouth.
Clearly, when I state that I would support Constitutional amendments to overturn Constitutional amendments, it would be a statement that I find at least some elements of the current makeup of the Constitution deleterious to the document's overall merit, no matter how relatively meritorious I may find it to be.
I also stated clearly my criterion for "good."
Not in the least.
On the one hand you're talking about clarifying the meaning of existing law.
On the other hand you're talking about the merits of a law and whether or not it should exist.
So if you oppose it, you should try to get it changed. The left can't change it because it's not politically feasible to do so, so they instead try to attack its meaning.

I'm not particularly surprised by the bump (As everyone was expecting it). In fact, the idea of a McCain presidency isn't even that upsetting to me anymore.
I'm sure you're asking why, so I'll tell you; the intelligent and educated people of this country will find a way to survive. They're the ones who keep their investments balanced, have contingency plans for layoffs, and generally think about their futures past the upcoming week.
The people who are too stupid to actually research the positions of these candidates deserve to be crushed. They deserve to lose their jobs and have their families suffer in financial ruin. The people who McCain will hurt the most aren't the people that are the most supportive of Obama; they're the lemmings who are working dead-end jobs and grunting in approval as they troll Wal-Mart and hear the empty words of their favorite GOP talking head on television. They deserve the lackluster education model that will shape their children's minds and they deserve to face the realization that they can't afford to send them to college when they get older.
Maybe people will learn their lesson if they have to endure another four years. Maybe not. The people who slap away the hand that is trying to help them for the hand that is holding them down deserve everything that is coming to them. I'm going to enjoy watching this, either way.

If the Democrats can't win after 8 years of some of the worst Republican presidency ever, how can they ever win again? it's seriously bizarre how close this is.

Hold on there chief. "keeping my investments balanced" and "having contingency plans" is basically worthless considering the possibility of a far right wing supreme court for the next 20 years.
I'd also like adequate funding for public education, a stronger dollar so my wages go farther, lots of other things. I also have family, and would not enjoy seeing relatives who may not be quite as sharp as I am sent off to any more unneccessary military conflicts.
The scenario you describe would only lead to a widening between the haves and have-nots, and that's also not the kind of america I'd like to live in.
"smart planning" won't solve all of your problems. the election DOES matter, and there's a lot at stake.

I like how Brokaw made a point of saying that Palin has been invited to appear on MTP with no response as yet.
It's gotten me thinking - what is the longest amount of time to elapse between a VP candidate being announced and that candidate being made available to the media? Because I bet Palin's going to beat that record if she hasn't already.
It's embarrassing that she would have to be so prepped and coached for something like this. If you're able to be one bad pretzel away from the nuclear launch codes, you should be able to handle a TV interview without weeks of coaching. But I guess none of that matters because hey, she's got five kids and she's spunky.

I hope the House gets to vote Obama in. That way Republicans can know what its like to feel cheated (and it would be COMPLETELY legal too, unlike 2000. So they won't even be justified in their anger.)
Anyway, these are pure toss-ups at this point:
CO
VI
NV
OH
FL
Can someone do the math and figure out the odds of O-man not winning at least ONE of those?

Watching those people be crushed under the poor economic strategy of another eight years of Republican rule would be the best thing to happen to the Democratic party in a long time.

I fucking hate her. She sure is fuckable though.
And this is what I mean. So much bullshit, and an uninformed viewer would have no idea how to parse the bullshit, and know which of the 2 is lying.
After trying to paint Obama as an empty celebrity, I love how the first thing they always bring up as Palin's qualifications is that 'SHE'S POPULAR!'. Imagine is democratic pundits tried to defend Obama by saying the same thing. HE'S POPULAR! Jesus Christ.
So, so awesome. I hope we get to see something like that on the debates, but they'll probably coach Palin to avoid walking into it. Reminds me of Kerry's epic smackdown of Bush on North Korea.I don't remember said:
And for everyone worried about the polls, remember: Electoral math.
There have been a ton of posts on this over the last few days, but this recent kos diary sums it up pretty well
