Joe is McPalin's pal http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/1..._n_135367.html who was not properly vetted http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/1..._n_135211.html .

ETA: Here is another really good one! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin..._b_135468.html

Overall, I know that Obama won the debate hands down. At least this time, McSame LOOKED at him, even if it was to hurl debunked insults, rumors, lies and half-truths. <<<---- yes, this is what McSame did numerous times. I thought his eyes were going to get stuck in the back of his head! Obama was clearly the ADULT here.

LOL plus he owes back taxes!

But I do feel for him though - I'm sure he NEVER thought that his simple question to Obama would turn into all this!

Yup Bootleg as heck and he is not a licensed plummer....and guess what...he makes less than $250,000 a year. Which means he would benefit from Obama's Tax plan. I still think this guy was a plant.

Anywho..... hear is some interesting news.....

"Retired Gen. Colin Powell, once considered a potential running mate for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), now may endorse his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), according to Republican sources. But an air of mystery surrounds Powell's planned live appearance Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," and no one is sure what he will say."

Olberman said that Joe is the ex-son-in-law of Charles Keating and that a close relative is some big wig in Alaska. Joe also used to be a member of a radical right wing party before he registered as a Repug.

From their blog to God's ears. This would be the last nail in McSame's coffin. Its funny that all of McSame's friends that he cannot influence are supporting Obama....

Happy that Colin endorsed Obama, but not shocked. I think people were expecting this for a few days now.

[jitterbug13]

Of course he's going to hate. Anyone endorsing Obama, especially one as powerful as Powell is going to be hated on by Limbaugh. He must have forgot (or ignored) that part of the reason why Powell left was because he was probably lied to about the war as much (if not more) as Congress and the American people.

I will be praying for the family during this time. I hope she gets well soon.

Having lost my own grandmother recently to a serious illness, my prayers are with him! He is facing the very real possibility of losing her before or around elction day; it will be personally very devastating for him.

The fact that he is suspending his campaign not for a gimmick but to take care of something so personal and so understandable to all Americans shows the mettle of the man.

AP INVESTIGATION: Palin children traveled on state

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE, ADAM GOLDMAN and MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writers – 32 mins ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin charged the state for her children to travel with her, including to events where they were not invited, and later amended expense reports to specify that they were on official business.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081021/..._family_travel

what's more is that the RNC spent about $150K for clothing and hairstyling for the palin family (source: www.huffingtonpost.com). her, the "first dude", and the kids' clothes came from Saks, NM, Bloomies, Atelier (an upscale men's store), upscale children's boutique's, etc. sounds like she's shopping w/cindy mccan't who buys her own clothes. palin, on the other hand, is going for the political "hook up"

[jitterbug13]

^^^^
And all of this while Michelle Obama has been reduced to shopping at Gap and White House/Black Market...


and looking hella good doing it!!

[Honeykiss1974]

$150K on clothes?

Why, I'm sure Joe the Plumber, Ed the Farmer, Bob the Builder, Fred the Farter or whomever can relate to spending that on clothes.

And another thing - I'm sorry but her hokey nicknames for regular people really get on my NERVES!!! If find it insulting actually.
