Re: Knockout blow to the Obama campaign?
I was going to say the same thing tejastech08. Pundits, the media and other dems may be talking about Palin. Obama has tried to stay on message full steam ahead, but some of this stuff he has to respond to, especially when people ask him about it.
I watched his speech today on CNN. There was one mention of the "governor of Alaska," and that was it. The illusion that Obama is focused on Palin is just that, an illusion.
Re: Knockout blow to the Obama campaign?
There will be a new attack on McCain/Palin in about five seconds.
I was wrong. It was an hour....
South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler reportedly lashed out at Sarah Palin Wednesday, saying the Republican vice presidential candidate's 'primary qualification seems to be that she hasn't had an abortion.'

Kinda like the Republican Georgia state congressman recently calling Obama "uppity" and then claiming he doesn't know that there's a racial connotation in the use of that word. If you think either campaign has control over loose cannons like that, then you're giving them a lot more credit than they deserve. Obama can't control the asshats on his side that aren't directly affiliated with his campaign and McCain can't control the asshats on his side that aren't directly affiliated with his campaign. And even then, it's difficult to control even the people who are directly affiliated to the campaigns.

Re: Knockout blow to the Obama campaign?
People all over the country are attacking each side, you can't blame it on McCain or Obama. I could google something at any time of day and find someone saying something negative about McCain or Obama.
Exactly. But you can hold them accountable for what comes from the campaigns themselves. That's why I like Factcheck.org. They even called out the McCain campaign for claiming that Factcheck.org had said the Obama campaign was responsible for smears on Palin, which is not the truth. That would be like if Obama put out an ad claiming that Factcheck.org has said the McCain campaign is responsible for all of the lies about him being a Muslim and black nationalist, etc. They call out both campaigns on a regular basis for their distortions and outright lies. They also set the facts straight about Internet rumors regarding all of the candidates, and they make damn clear that the other campaign is not responsible for those rumors. It's the nutjob blogs on the left and right that are responsible for these chain emails and swirling rumors about each of the politicians.

Re: Knockout blow to the Obama campaign?
James, resign from what? Obama is not responsible for that guy's comments. Is McCain responsible for the asshole Georgia Congressman who called Obama "uppity"?

Democratic chairwoman. That would be a good start.
Do I need to post the definition of the word uppity?
The man knew damn good and well what he was suggesting with that. An old white guy from Georgia knows damn well what he's doing when he uses that kind of term to describe a black person.
