Agnostics...is that the religion where one thinks there might be something out there but they're not sure what? Are they Obama supporters?

Yes. One of my closest friends is agnostic.

Some of them are, including my friend.

She's white and a super-Liberal Democrat. We disagree on religion and certain aspects of politics (for one, I'm not a Dem and I'm not staunchly Liberal) but we agree on issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation. It balances out.

I think that they will as well. I was kind of hoping for Gen Clark, especially since he called McCain out about using his POW service as a crutch. However, I think Biden, my current state senator, will be able to play that role as well. He will be able to fulfill all roles that Obama needs him to do in order to win this election and to govern the country for the next 8 years!

I love the fact that Sen. Biden is considered "loose lippped" and outspoken. LOL! I like tell-it-like-it-is folks. On top of it all, he's also known for being somewhat of a comedian. I didn't see the actual debate, but I say a clip of his response to a question merely being "Yes." It made me laugh for about three minutes. Clearly I couldn't have been in the audience or I would have been escorted out. I'm ready for the VP debates!! Sen. Biden chew up his oppenent!

Both men seem to be overall good guys with strong senses of purpose, good spirits, a hint of comedy, and get-it-done attitudes. Obama/Biden '08!!!

Why does Hillary sound like she is making an acceptance speech?

ETA: I see where she went with it. It took a while though, Hillary. I thought you were trying to pull a fast one. :side eye:

Soror Quincy Lucas will introduce Sen. Joe Biden tonight before his speech. She's from Dover, DE.

Thanks to the magic of Tivo I've caught up...

Monday:

Can I just say Michelle blew me away. I've always been impressed with her many accomplishments and her down to earth attitude but she brought the house down on Monday. And Barack and Michelle's daughters are too *cute*, especially the youngest one.

Tuesday:

Hillary made me remember why I almost considered voting for her...she had some great one liners, "No way...No McCain" was memorable & her comment about Bush & McCain meeting in the twin cities because their so much alike was classic. HC she didn't thank Bill in the beginning like she thanked her mom & Chelsea. She only mentioned Bill when she talked abot how Dems had a great president for 8 years. I was like, Hillary that is your man right??

Wednesday:

Bill had an amazing speech & Biden (he was my #1 VP Pick) was great but I dunno...I'm so tired of him calling McCain his friend...do McCain's attack ads say Biden is my friend but Obama isn't ready? IMHO he went after Guiliani and others his comments really hit home. I've heard his A game and I think what I saw last night was his B or B+ game. Stick to the point Senator Biden, later w/that friend talk.... you and McCain make up after Obama wins.

TAKE THAT CINDY McCAIN!!! Bet you can NEVER speak so dynamically, nor can you ever get that type of reaction from a crowd!

I wanna be like Michelle Obama when I grow up!!

Little32 · #13 08-29-2008, 10:22 AM

I continue to be amazed at the characterizations of the Obamas, even in contrast to Obamas running mate Joe Biden.

Obama is somehow unknown and perhaps untrustworthy, while Biden seems mature and level headed.

How can Obama lack judgment and at the same time select a running mate, whom the same individuals making claims about Obamas judgement identify as level-headed?

This stuff is so deep-seated that folks sometimes don't even realize the roots.

Girlfriend, logic is not something the McSame forces adhere to. How are they gonna run an ad that shows the VP pick Biden saying that Obama isn't (now) ready and the next day bemoan the fact that HRC said he wasn't ready but he couldn't handle the truth? How can they slam Obama for his 'inexperience' but choose a running mate who is YOUNGER, has fewer years in elective office, less education and NO national or foreign policy experience?

It makes my head hurt.....

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that Palin doesn't "know what the VP does". Umm, did she not take Government/Civics in school? I also think that McCain made a major misstep in selecting her as his running mate. I get that he wants someone without Washington connections, but to be that out of touch may hurt him rather than help.

VP or not, I don't know if I could leave my 4 month old child to campaign. I'd have to discuss that with my family and do what's best for them.

And OMG, weren't Malia and Sasha so cute!!!??
