I was having a political discussion with my Nanny yesterday (a huge GOP supporter).  And she said the choice of Palin was very smart because the election will be won  by white male voters.  Her opinion, white males will vote for her cause she\'s chesty and wears short skirts.

Wow.   The party of Reagan has come so far.....


That\'s ridiculous.




Ya know, it seems ridiculous, but at the golf course I work out, there\'s a bunch of old guys with a little bit of money, who are normally kinda conservative anyway....  but when talkin about this election they all say, "Ya know I was kinda going towards McCain anyway, but boy I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH PALIN!!!"

and they like here because she\'s a "go get em" girl and she\'s cute
taints rule, gypsies drool!

According to my old nemesis, WPLR:

Oprah Winfrey has stated publicly that she will not have Sarah Palin on her show because it is not a political platform (that\'s the gist, no luck in tracking down the exact quote)



I have no problem with Oprah not having Sarah Palin on her show, but don\'t lie about the reason.

Gotta love how Rage Against the Machine has played protest concerts at both conventions

This quote from a random fan at one of their shows cracked me up:

I meant in terms of the affect the pick had on the campaign.

from an overall point of who of who is more qualified for the job,it\'s Biden hands down.

Are we assuming that these early shifting polls hold a lot of water?

How many of you guys have been polled?

Good point, I\'m panicing.

It has been my life-long goal to be one of three things:

1.) Featured on CNN
2.) An "Expert"
3.) Interviewed by a pollster.

So far I am 0 for 3.

It astounds me to think that the facists might lose presidentail elections in a row. In 2004 they lost because their platform was "we\'re not Bush."

They are about to lose, again, to a highly organized, motivated, and energic party who is able to run on "We are not Bush, but we are still very conservative."

Wow, how they blundered this one is beyond me.


Motivated and energetic? Are you really talking about the facist Party?

If they are motivated and energetic, it is certainly not because of John McCain. I have never seen such lackluster enthusiasm for a facist candidate. Most "real" facists seem to be not at all fond of McCain; many consider him a traitor to the party. I think on the whole, people feel pretty "meh" about him. Sure, choosing Palin injected a bit of energy into the campaign, but it is still a pretty weak showing IMO.

Switch your party affiliation, vote, then switch to undecided. Following this serious of actions puts a magic invisible sign on your front door that draws campaigners to your doorstep, causes your P.O. Box to behave like a black hole, sucking in every available enveloped request for money and loyalty, and makes pollsters\' fingertips literally tingle with your phone number. I guarantee you will get your interview. (With the pollster, maybe not with NCC...)

Also, why is the debate schedualed on Friday, not normally associated with high tv veiwership?

CNN.com: Palin\'s town charged women for rape exams

I\'m not sure what to make of this, but I guess it\'s interesting enough to post. It\'s always interesting to see which stories/rumors are just sensationalism/exaggeration and which ones actually hold water.
