So will the GOP get a huge bounce with the people's focus on the hurricane?

What I'm saying is, you won't hear it from Palin like you did from Hillary.

With the stuff that is going on and some of the model data being tossed around, the country could be going into a hurricane frenzy for a couple of weeks. Think of it as sort of a rain delay for the general election.

Nice tag.

You shouldn't even have to explain. The Obamites make plenty of bold statements and I don't see ban threats like you just got and branduil got. What the hell?
edit:
Why not put a tag on Mcmass or whatever his name is stating that if Biden doesn't "destroy" Palin, then call bishop?

What's your currency bish? Wry chuckles? Yeah, I'm sure that's what we all were thinking. And like I said, ami threatened someone before on something just as stupid, and he certainly meant ban, so it's frustrating.
The historical data make's McCain's pre-convention spin that much funnier.ryutaro's mama said:

Hey do you guys remember a poster who had an avatar with Bush pointing into the distance, but the photograph was from a low angle so the illusion was that he was pointing at a ball of light (the sun)? The caption read "you make me smile, so I'll kill you last tinkerbell", I'm trying to find that avatar everywhere but can't!

Dude, you are fucking AWESOME!

Would there be any political benefit to the RNC happening a week or two later? I noticed that the dems (and I think the Republicans?) pushed their conventions back, but I don't know if it's because it's better to have it later. And if so, how long before we have conventions the week of the elections? /sarcasmbutnotreally
VanMardigan

All right, could they put the names on the ballot and then make the RNC just a formality/celebratory thing (which I thought it was anyway)?

Holy shit, Obama has kissed her twice on the lips! I tried to find the picture that they showed on Bill Maher but found this one instead:

Obama on Biden and Palin -- 60 Minutes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWH5Sq4Nd3c
He makes great points about what is needed in a VP and doesn't come out and slam Palin, but the implication is clear. How is Palin going to advise and be of help to McCain in that position? From what I've seen, she has expressed no opinion on most of the important issues of the day, and the ones she has voiced are to the right of McCain. What advice does she have to offer?

Not really it would give Obama that much more of a head start. It would give the signal that the GOP is unorganized. If one could feel sorry for the GOP this would be one of those situations. If they continue on with party business then the rest of the world says they still haven't learned from Katrina. If they postpone then politically they are that even more behind the Dems.
VanMardigan said:
They still have to find some way to get the delegates to vote. If they cancel the convention itself, they'll do it by mail or teleconference. Or just cancel much of the spectacle side of things. I don't see any changes happening though outside of the President/Vice President possibly not speaking.

And compare that to Obama who articulated his thoughts and beliefs on Iraq in 2002.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhpKmQCCwB8
He explains why he was against us going to war before we even went. Does Palin have this level of knowledge that Obama had 6 years ago?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Well, what I was thinking is get the delegate votes out the way this week, do some sort of Gustav-related gathering (like that telethon thing reilo's link talked about), and then do the festivities part (with all the speakers and confetti etc.) a week or two from now.
If that's the case, why did the Dems push their convention back and right before the Republican one? They could've had the convention weeks ago (pre-Olympics?)
No, but she's going through a crash course on this now, I'm sure. If this ticket makes it to the White House, she'll eventually learn everything she needs to learn. Obama has learned a ton since he started running, and the closer he got to the Dem nomination, the more he had to pick up. His background isn't economics or healthcare, but he's now considered an expert on these things. Half of this stuff is who you surround yourself with in terms of advisers. I'm sure Palin will now be surrounded by top-level GOP advisers and will have at least decent knowledge of all the major issues by the time the debates come around. Unless she's a total idiot, and I don't think she is.

The whole way Obama has framed the vice presidential choice has made Palin less palatable, even before she was picked. Basically he's framed it that Biden is his partner in government, not an underling, not somebody who has no input or impact on government.

The Gustav thing really is unfair to the GOP. Katrina was a failing of the Bush government's organization, not its policies, and there's no reason to think McCain would have the same problem.
I'm firmly anti-McCain, but I really hope this isn't somehting used against him, if only because I like truth and reason more than the "anything to win" mode this election has been in.

I know this may sound cynical and a long shot, but what if President Bush (now that he is making one final push to get Bin-Laden) has a press conference on October 20th and announces: "Osama Bin Laden has been captured/killed"?
this is a question someone asked me yesterday which I had no answer to.
