you might think so, but if you listened to any of the primary debates, Obama sounds completely different when he has to respond to direct questions. it doesn't just flow like it does in his speeches which he basically just has to read.

McCain isn't real fluid either, but he will do fine in heads-up debates with the great one.

There are also people in more rural parts of this country that even view him as Muslim, based soley on his name.

I don't disagree about this, but how much does 'rural' voting really matter when it comes down to it. I don't know, but my guess is that populated areas are what pulls votes.

I know that when I was in Carbondale, which is the boot of Illinois, 335 miles south of Chicago, people down there didn't vote for **** because they knew their vote didn't matter.

Give me a break...

i got many chuckles. One of them was when he said that he was eager to debate McCain, McCain tried to get him into a whole series of debates over the summer but Obama declined. Now he's throwing down the gauntlet?

You gotta love this guy trying to grab Hillary voters with some chick that no one has ever heard of.

Rural voting matters alot more than you think.

But doesn't this open up this chick to the same experience issues as they are targeting for Obama?

I know as little about politics as possible but have always been intrigued. Kudos to the McCain camp for keeping this under wraps - no one in the media saw this one coming.

I tend to think that Mccain/Palin has a solid chance to win now. You gotta think that with the pick of a mother of five will surely draw many more female votes then if he would have gone with Romney Liberman etc etc.. Wild that she resides in Alaska, as far removed from DC as could be. Hence, no media attention.

This is going to be a very interesting couple months and are we looking at the possibility of another record turnout?

yes it does, but maybe that issue becomes a draw now. how does either side use that issue anymore?

Scav · #71 08-29-2008, 09:49 AM

Anyone know if this Palin chick is good looking?

Biden's wife is pretty serious if you ask me, milf material

I understand the pick on one level, but surprised that McCain would choose to neutralize the biggest Obama weakness

The Bid · #77 08-29-2008, 09:56 AM

McCain doesnt lack experience, I think that offsets Palin's lack of, of course McCain is the one running for president. In Obamas case he lacks all experience, and I do not believe an experienced vice offsets that.

It is ok if you aren't 'in the know', Scuds will set you straight

I understand that, personally, and this is my opinion, but America doesn't see him as black. Sadly, if he were 'darker' I think he would have no chance at being president.

Oh please ...
