Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
James, she has not proven that if something bad happens to McCain, she can step in as President. Given McCain's age that thought process carries some weight. All she's doing is 'teasing' Obama, great. Keep teasing while McCain sinks in the polls). She's a cheerleader for him, but hasn't established herself. Her 10 minute intro of her family was a waste also.
BTW -McCain's lead is less than 1% in Ohio & Virginia. If he loses those leads & their 33 Electoral College votes, it's pretty much over.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
So she has to prove she's qualified to be president? Was Edwards given this test by liberals?
Like I said, dems turned this into an Obama-Palin race, and disaster awaits.
Lets wait for next week's poll numbers before beginning to count any chickens.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
I really don't get how this one question really confirms the race is over. You keep saying this James, and i'm not buying it.
Palin doesn't know what the VP does. Obama could give you a nice long list of what the president does.
The only point i agree on is how Obama needs to take a nice long look at how he's running his campaign, because he's starting to make mistakes. He's running against McCain, not Palin. He should be going after McCain's policies.
I also don't think Obama is going to get his ass handed to him in debates. I've watched most of his debates and a lot of his speaches and he is a very good public speaker. He's intelligent and easily capable of handing McCain's ass to him on a silver platter.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
Palin doesn't know what the VP does.
You're letting the liberals distort the facts.
Its a known fact that majority of vice presidents are irrelevant. They are mainly there to break a tie in the Senate(rarely happens). Some presidents give their VP more influence, some don't. Reagan almost picked Ford for VP in 1980 but Ford wanted it to be a "co-presidency". Reagan refused and picked Bush. Dan Quayle did almost nothing. While Gore sat in on meetings during the Clinton administration, Hillary was more VP than Gore. Cheney changed what a VP is. Cheney is the most influential VP in history.
This is what Palin is referring to when not "knowing" about what the VP will do. Is she another Quayle, or is she another Cheney? Its a damn good question, and of course the liberals have to attack her for it.

I agree with this. If he could get back on message and go after McCain, he has a shot. He wont though. The Obama camp gave their followers too much power and it has changed the tone of the race.
The race will not go back to what it was pre-Palin. The liberals stirred up a hornet's nest.

That's what the republicans are counting on. Overconfidence. It just bit the dems on the ass this week, and will bite them again come debate time.
Never underestimate a republican in a debate. There's a long line of casualties of dems who got destroyed in debates. Go talk to Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry. Only reason Clinton won is because daddy Bush was a moron and Perot got a third of the debate time. Let Reagan have another shot in 92, and Clinton runs out of the building crying.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
I agree with you James. Unlike yourself, I do like Obama and I like alot of what the guy has to say, but he is obviously gonna get his ASS handed to him by McCain in the debates every passing day I see.
I can't believe that the Obama campaign has been STUPID enough to attack Sarah Palin. THAT'S WHAT MCCAIN WANTED YOU TO DO!!!! HE BAITED YOU BARACK. AND YOU TOOK IT.
Sarah Palin is NOT running for president. McCain is. Obama is. Yet instead of attacking McCain, they attack Palin. Why? Who cares? Nobody gives a shit about the VP. No one. History has proven that. McCain made Palin his VP, because it protects his campaign. Think about it. Palin doesn't have enough of a history to give the Dems ammo against her. But if because of that the Obama campaign attacks her experience, it UNDERMINES his own campaign.
I really thought the guy was smarter than this. McCain set it up that way, and Obama fell right into the trap.
Seriously, i'm an undecided who for the last few months has been pretty convinced that I was swayed towards Obama...
He's tired. He's slipping up. He's starting to not look at good as he had in the past. He's shown he has George W. Bush-syndrome with public speaking when it's NOT scripted and rehearsed. Questions on the fly throw Obama completly off.
McCain is refreshing. Re-energized, ready to go. You can see it, and i'm still wating for the debates, but I have no doubt at this point that McCain is gonna take Obama to the woodshed.

The liberals don't understand this. They think what they are doing is some new concept. They don't understand that they caused their own candidate to go into a free fall.
Some of them are starting to realize what they did though. I've noticed at a few sites they have dropped the "she has no experience" crap down a notch because they realize she has more experience than Obama.
Palin is a goose continually laying golden eggs while the liberals bitch and moan that the eggs are copper. Meanwhile, the rest of society can see that they're gold.
They're so out of touch with reality and their own candidate that its comical at this point.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
I know polls don't mean shit, and it's one reason I respect Bush so much is because he's a man that's not motivated by polls.
But I just saw a poll today that places Sarah Palin in HIGHER popularity than BOTH Obama & McCain.
I wonder if Dean's kicking himself now, that Hilary didn't win the nom.
Re: Obama: Running campaign counts as executive experience
Yeah I saw that as well. She's the most popular politician in the country right now.
How's that possible with all these "facts" the dems have been spewing?:haha:
Its because the country is now seeing through this mirage. The biggest thing they had against her(the infamous "bridge to nowhere") was approved of by Biden and Obama.
Its hypocrisy on a cosmic scale. They sent their bloggers on a crusade with it and forgot to tell them that they themselves voted for the damn thing.
