McCain's Tricky Calculation

TO THE PEOPLE WHO KEEP MENTIONING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Are you trying to SAY someting? I mean, are you hinting that because Obama is BLACK that he must have NOT been smart enough to get into an Ivy league school and ACTUALLY be successful? Are you saying that his RACE got him good grades in school? Are you saying that his RACE got him elected to the Senate?

Be CLEAR on what you're saying and don't beat around the BUSH with anything! You sound VERY, VERY ignorant!!!!!

I agree - we will not hear a SINGLE unscripted word from Palin until it's WAY too late.

Wow .. The GOP has reduced our government to a really bad episode of Jerry Spinger !
Makes me proud to be an American, and makes me want to vote Republican.
SCARE the ignorant masses into submission, therefore keeping me and the rest of the elites wealthy.
I can always use more landscapers. Go Rebplicans ruin the country more, so I can continue to enjoy myself.
And when it is all over, I'll retire in another country WEALTHY, HAPPY, and AMUSED !!!
STUPID masses means WEALTH for OTHERS !!!

I posted this yesterday when I thought McCain was going to talk about the issues.

"Man it is crazy how Obama was attacked all year for not having any substance. Now the republicans are looking like the party with absolutely no substance whatsoever. McCain better lay out a plan tonight or this whole convention was a waste!"

I guess I was right! The whole convention was a waste of Americans time. However, it was very effective for Republicans.

i say lets's stop talking about this moose eatin heifer who in her sick need for her 15 minutes, put her needs above her pregnant teenaged daughter. she willingly chose to sacrafice her daughter's privacy and now has the gall to complain about the attention! let's accommodate her and insist that the conversation return to the important issues like social security, job loss, housing crisis, WARS, taxes or lack of taxes on the big corporations, global warming, energy crisis...... forget that distraction and talk about the REAL ISSUES. this just playing into those Repugs hands.

Sarah Palin - Summary of Reasons Why Republicans Are Cowering

Obama studied and worked his up to top honors of an Ivy League University.
Palin prompts one to wonder whether affirmative action was the major factor that enabled her to receive a degree.

Sarah Palin's popularity and support is based on one man appointing her the position.
whereas Obama's is based primarily on the fact that he is appointed by at least 18 million people.

Barrack Obama demonstrates that he is one of the people, whereas Palin on her first speech mocks and belittles the common American.

Barrack Obama can deliver a specific, focused, energetic, and rousing speech without the aid of a teleprompter, unlike Palin who incompetently relies on someone else to write her speeches and dictate her thoughts.

And John McBush, the elderly Senator who has voted with our current administration 90% of the time and thinks that rich people make over 5 million a year!

Don't know where diplomat is getting those #'s. Missouri, Ohio, FL in latest CBS polls McCain is ahead, PA Obama 44.8, Mccain 44.6, only in Iowa Obama is ahead. Most of polls read bounce from democratic convention evaporating and also claimed CBS polls always had Obama ahead until today. READ, READ. He beat Hillary in GA, NC, MS, SC, LA, but all southern states Mccain is ahead is as much as 10-20 points INCLUDING GA, MS, NC, SC, NH, WHERE SUPPOSEDLY OBAMA WAS A DONE DEAL. I was undecided and will vote for McCain because I like Palin. The DNC is going to learn the hard way to respect their female vote. Experience? she has as much as Obama.;

Sarah Palin - Summary of Reasons Why Democrats Are Cowering

Sarah Palin appears to have diligently studied and worked to graduate from university, whereas Obama prompts one to wonder whether affirmative action was the major factor that enabled him to receive a degree.

Sarah Palin???s popularity and support is based on her ability and accomplishments, whereas Obama???s is based primarily on the fact that he is partially black.

Sarah Palin demonstrates that she is one of the people, whereas Obama portrays himself as an elitist.

Sarah Palin can deliver a specific, focused, energetic, and rousing speech without the aid of a teleprompter, unlike Obama who incompetently relies on speaking the pathetic foreign language of ???uhs and ahs???.

And John McCain, the elderly Senator who is often denigrated by democrats due to his age, has demonstrated that his mind is still keen enough to outfox his opposition by the excellent selection of Sarah Palin to be his VP candidate!

Polls as of today in battleground states, the Polls have an error factor of +/- 3.5 to 4.0%.

McCain's latest flip flop:

Sarah Palin

McCain's numbers going up, Obama's going down:

The presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain is now even at 42 percent, according to a new CBS News poll conducted Monday-Wednesday of this week. Twelve percent are undecided according to the poll, and one percent said they wouldn't vote.

This is in contrast to a poll conducted last weekend, where the Obama-Biden ticket led McCain-Palin by eight points, 48 percent to 40 percent.

McCain has also closed the enthusiasm gap some with Obama, but it still exists. Fifty-five percent of Obama's supporters are enthusiastic about their choice, and now so are 35% of McCain's. Last weekend, just 25 percent of McCain's supporters were enthusiastic about him, compared to 67 of Obama's supporters.
Thirty-eight percent say they have a favorable view of Obama, compared 34 percent unfavorable and 27 percent undecided. For McCain, it's 37 percent favorable, 36 percent unfavorable and 27 percent undecided.
McCain maintains his large advantage on the likelihood of being an effective commander-in-chief - 46 percent of voters say it is "very likely" McCain would be an effective commander-in-chief, compared to 24 percent who say that about Obama.
Independents in this poll are divided. In the poll conducted over the weekend, Obama had a six-point advantage with this group, but now the lead is three points, 39 percent to 36 percent.

Moreover, Palin's credentials as a reformer were tarnished by reports that he she had favored the inexcusable "Bridge to Nowhere" before she opposed it, and as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, had hired a Washington lobbyist to obtain $27 million in federal aid for her town of less than 9,000, not including an expensive passageway from Wasilla to Sen. Ted Stevens's country home nearby.

I am so happy that the NFL opener was moved to a different timeslot to accomodate McCain's speech, that made all of us football fans very happy. And yes, the game still got higher rating than McCain.

Palin is likeable, but she is also Exactly what McCain criticized Obama for being. But hey we are suppoed to laud him for his military service on FAITH ALONE because he refuses to release his records (medical too), just like Palin wants to use her son to say she is a great family mom & says her drunken teenage pregnant daughter is off limits, you can't have it both ways, but McCain believes otherwise, and of course it is true for him since he got a sugar momma that can buy it for him.

Yes, Alter, only the things Obama does work, make sense, are reasonable and honorable.

Why don't you keep churning out more of these fully-discussed talking points and safely earning your well-deserved salary.

Perhaps you should concern yourself more with your own embarrassment than any missteps Mrs. Palin may make. If she's as unknown to you as you claim, then your article is based on conjecture and speculation as opposed to facts.
Instead of making lemonade out of lemons, perhaps Senator McCain should have tried to make grape juice out of all these sour grapes.
