I'm not sure it will. Palin is getting a lot of criticism over her, "Obama is friends with terrorists" statement.

Anything that will take the focus off the economy will work. I'm surprised McCain will go this direction... personal attacks about Obama's connection with various people. McCain has a couple of relationships I'm sure he doesn't want placed in lime light again... that will surely be counter productive. This is definitely not the McCain I remember for the last two decades.

Well, the McCain you remember didn't get the nomination.

So maybe McCain has learned some interesting and maybe unfortunate lessons.

True... and I believe he isn't too happy (or comfortable) about some of the things he is being told to do. You can just tell. I never thought this would ever be something we would talk about during this race. McCain, as I remember, is all about "NO Bull" politics.

4PM: MSNBC is now re-airing the Biden/Palin debate w/ the Truth Squad scroller on the bottom of the screen. Every statement is proved true or false! I'm lovin' this.

How much is MSNBC "truth" worth to you? More or less than Fox?

I'd say about equal...after the debate Fox News found a couple of false statements Biden made, as well as a couple from Sarah. FOX NEWS (the news, not the Fox News Channel, lol) is generally (i repeat, generally) non-bias...it's everything else on that network that seems to have some right-wing agenda!

^^^ Assuming that it's a real photo and not a photoshop special, how does this add anything constructive? It's hating on Palin just for the sake of hating on her; it's completely irrelevant to the actual campaign. All it does is reduce (even further than some of the stuff you've already posted) the credibility of anything else you say about her.

Is that her kid or just a random?

Poor little guy!

Well, since she's holding a Target bag, and there are no Target stores in Alaska, I'm wondering if she's ever seen that kid before.

Cry if you want to, I don't care. I'm just saying putting up stuff like this, while it might get a laugh, adds little if anything of substance and more often than not is counter-productive. It's political debate on a middle school level.

All of which is why I've just stopped posting in these political threads. I know that if I want to discuss the issues, there are people I can PM (as I've said before, you, nittanyalum, and others).
