Big Mother would be a better line. They rail against a nanny state and what not and then it makes some sense.

Glenn Beck. Watching is great if you have an addiction to Rageahol. He induces it in non dipshits post haste. But when Jonah Goldberg was on last night I nearly OD'd.

TONIGHT: Media massacre of Palin
Why the hypocrisy in the coverage between Palin and Obama -- equally unknown before this election? Glenn says the media is angry they were sandbagged with the Gov. Palin pick.

So, we've got Dairy-Gate, Trooper-Gate, Earmark-Gate.

Did she ever have any interactions with Bill Gates? Or author David Gates? Or some kind of yard gate?

Why, oh why, did the DNC have to put its headquarters in the damn Watergate hotel?

Gibson has an exclusive interview with McCain tonight, and one for Good Morning America tomorrow.

good god...

Gibson: So John, how awesomely maverick do you consider yourself? Mega Awesome or Ultra Awesome?

 

[polyh3dron]

I think it has to do with the fact people likely including some on this forum believe the baby should have been aborted the moment they found out it wasn't "perfect."

The point is that this family is in a comfortable financial situation that makes it easier for them to make such a decision than your average family, not to mention if it was a single mother.

No one's saying kill all fetuses except the perfect ones, they're just saying that it's much easier for someone like Palin to make such a choice. But thanks for your intellectual dishonesty.

When he dropped out of the race, he said he was doing it so people would rally behind McCain, in order to prevent the terrorists from winning. No joke.

Lieberman in 2006:

As far as I am concerned he is a Baruk, which means a blessing, he is a blessing to the United States Senate to America and to our shared hopes for a better safer tomorrow for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country.

so wtf happened? why the stab in the back now?

Tell me about it. It's so hard to keep up with this thread now that I have school.

 

[adg1034]

And CNN just changed their headline.

It used to say "Palin's maverick path"...

 

[Slurpy]

Romney's speech sounds like something out of the 1980s. In fact, that's been a common theme of the entire RNC convention-they seem totally stalled in the 1980s/early 1990s problem set and refuse to talk substantively about the kind of bread and butter issues of 2008.

It's just not good poltiics-they need fresh leadership, fresh ideas, and-to be brutally honest-fresh new punching bags. The entire party seems temporally phased twenty years back right now.

Didn't you hear? They want national UNITY and REFORM! Joe Lieberman even said so!

First I would need to know the context.

 

[speculawyer]

That's mainly because she's stalling the Troopergate thing now. That'd be the deathknell.

I'm starting to worry that she'll withdraw and they'll get someone better. People need to slow down on the mocking, we are using up all the good material too quickly.

Sarah Palin . . . the gift that keeps on giving.

I remember reading somewhere about someone pointing out how Obama's opposition in every one of his political campaigns has spectacularly crumbled in a completely unbelievable way, almost like there were unknown forces at work. This is now getting to that point.

I was skeptical of Ohio in 2004, but with early voting and more than 50 Obama offices statewide, I'm pretty confident.

Looks like most of the Kerry states are a sure thing, along with Iowa and New Mexico. This gets us to 264 electoral votes.
Five more votes to get to 269.. Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, Missouri, Nevada.. any one will do.

Her withdrawing would be much better than any scandal that comes out. McCain's first presidental descision would be an inarguable disaster (not that there wouldn't be someone trying use some positive spin).

McCain is going to have to pick it up a bit in Ohio. Due to Dem control of the Gov./SoS apparatus, and implementation of new voter registration and early voting laws, the nuts and bolts of Ohio's voting system are grossly in favor of Obama's GOTV approach.

He never stoood a chance in Minnesota or Iowa,why poll anything but Fraken/Coleman at all.

 

[tanod]

Investigate yourself . . . now there is 'reform' you can believe in.

Wow . . . the GOP way: when you are in a hole, KEEP DIGGING!

They'll get to China someday.

well, Obama is the Messiah after all, so I'm sure he could work all sorts of magic on his opponents

Iowa is consistently really strong Obama country for some reason (a point I'm proud of).

Awesome news. The DSCC has really been at work during the summer months hammering away at Dole.

It's Schumer's pet race, it's pretty clear he wants a Daschle-sized scalp.

 

[Incognito]

According to that same polling outfit in NC, Obama is down only 3% to McCain. Well within the margin of error.

 

[gcubed]

so in listening to the open mic bit, and it seems the media is less angry about being surprised, and more angry that they have been toting his maverick line along happily, and now he pulls this bullshit.

I'd like to know too, I'm at work and can't listen to anything.

Iowa is consistently really strong Obama country for some reason (a point I'm proud of).

He basically lived there from mid 2007 to Jan 3, 2008. The voters are more familiar with him than McCain.
