So I agree with you that Palin is a disaster, but how exactly are the democrats going to seize on her ridiculousness before the election? It seems unclear right now...BenjaminBirdie said:I'm almost positive she'll be the cold open for the Seaso Primo. People will go fucking nuts. McCain's numbers will drop like fifty points overnight.

By sitting back and drinking Mai Tais. They did nothing all weekend and McCain's choice alone brought so many negatives into play it's not even funny.
Okay, it's pretty funny.

I wanna go on record saying the GOP should have a convention more or less as normal. They can't effect anything by not having it now. And they can plug causes that you can give money/supplies to to help the people.

More proof of the foolishness of Evangelicals.
It's not like the VP is going to change McCain's policies. More likely, she'll have to swing into line with his.
And yet they let themselves be willingly bought. Decades after Roe vs Wade, recent conservative Prez, congress and SCOTUS, and it still stands... why? Because as long as it does, it's a lever to get the evangelicals to vote conservative.
Idiots.
Well she sure has a lot of spunk in her pro-life platform! You can even see some of it dripping down her leg onto the floor from her pant suit! What a gutsy lady! She might be from Alaska but she sure as hell is no icequeen! And to think what she will bring to the White house! Imagine the lincoln bedroom being sanctified from Bill Clinton evil if Gov Palin became president and decided to have a live birth on it! Bringing life into the world would surely clean up the stench of those other guys that slept on it!
Also she has the best sort of experience as well. Her husband worked for british petroleum for a number of years! Thus he will be able to have some secret energy meetings just like Cheney had which led the way to our great energy infrastructure we have now! Speaking of infrasturcture she has that covered too! She understands we need better and more Bridges! Even bridges to uhhh places where only 50 people live at that would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. What a Maverick!
Biden has nothing on her in terms of experience. I mean how many babies has he pushed out of his vagina to help populate the USA with god fearing white christian americans? Thats right! HE HASNT! So unpatriotic of him!!!!

While it is looking like Palin may not prove to be useful in attracting Hillary voters, she IS making progress with the evangelical base. You get them really excited, and they have a serious shot of turning the election in their favor as we saw in 2004. Once the evangelical polling numbers become more clear, and if they remain increasingly positive, Obama's campaign really needs to start talking about all the problems associated with Palin as a means to diminish her favoribility among not far-right loons, but independents. I sure hope they are paying attention.Ignatz Mouse said:

If Palin is covering up her daughter's pregnancy I have no problem with thatM3wThr33 said:
It happens all the time, and its a very admirable thing for a mother to do for ehr daughter. I say we should leave this thing alone and attack her for her wacko religious/poltical views and her lie about teh Bridge to Nowhere.
What's alleged against her regarding the baby is (at worst) nothing more than a family sticking together. And there's nothing wrong with that.
If we persist in this "scandal," we are going to create so much sympathy for her that we won't be able to attack her on legitimate issues.

Actually, Palin's husband is Inuit/of Inuit descent. So...Christian, yeah. American, most definitely. White? Not so much.

The pregnancy rumor isn't true. Here's a picture of Palin in March, a month before the baby is born.
That is a pregnant woman. She just bounced back really, really well.

Despite a heavily energized conservative base in 2004 they only won by 60,000 votes or so (Ohio). The map favors Obama more than it favored Kerry imo: Obama is cruising in NM, the ground game could switch Nevada, Colorado and Virginia are toss ups but they seem to lean Obama. If anything an energized evangelical crowd would make it very hard to flip some of the red states Obama wants, ie NC and Georgia. If Obama can greatly increase black and youth turnout in Ohio (lots of cities, colleges) he could squeak out a win there, but I'm not confident about that state.
Of course things can go the opposite way: Virginia and Colorado are close enough to be narrowly won by McCain thanks to this newfound evangelical energy.
In the meantime I can't wait to see how this pick plays out in the coming days and weeks.

I fucking hate this pregnancy shit. To me, this is a big issue if it is true, despite all the blowhards in this thread saying people are scumbags for putting any stock into this story.
Well guess what, if it's true, it completely destroys her credibility with all these pro-lifers that are praising Palin's heroic choice to live her beliefs, and not terminate the child. This is a big deal, despite what you think.
Obama's Muslim thing was complete bullshit, and there was all the evidence in the world to prove that it was bullshit the moment it came up.
Until this is proven bullshit, then it's something that needs to be investigated in order to have the truth come out.
I'm not going to constantly be bringing up this pregnancy thing as we've all agreed to stop the speculation, but I'm a bit pissed that people in this thread are getting all high and mighty like this is something that should just be completely ignored.
I agree that she has plenty of other things to worry about, namely how she takes the experience argument off the table and her potential abuse of power investigation, but this pregnancy thing would be a big deal among the voters who care the most: the pro-lifers and the Christians.
