Obama pulling ahead.:hmm:

I thiink it will be his choice of VP that wins it for him. McCain selected a outsider runner and I think that will come back to haunt him.

Actually he can't. The electors cast a vote for president and a vote for vice president. The VP is technically elected separately and the Pres can't do anything about it one way or the other.

No kidding! The poll is for who you think will win.

Sheesh, these guys cannot follow simple instructions :doh:

I think, I act, I do, but I don't really know who will win in November.

Sure is fun to wonder though ...

Will Obama wind up back on the floor of the Senate with Kerry and Biden and Clinton too?

All ploting on how to defeat VP Palin in November 2012?

1. President McCain would be too old to run for a second term
2. VP Palin would have a very strong following by then
3. 54% of all of the voters in 2004 were women

Seeds for thought

Assuming women will vote for Palin just because she's a woman is rather insulting. It's also a bit silly to expect women to switch to an almost completely opposite candidate on grounds of gender.

I've been seriously out of the loop for the last week or so, only seeing this piece now. Does this kind of thing inspire confidence?

To assume means to make a fool out of you and me.

What if you change the words in your brief statement?

To this:

"Assuming blacks will vote for Obama just because he is black is rather insulting ..."

Wish it wouldnt be true but i know many women who voted, just for a woman, in our past two presidential elections. Women that normally vote for the polical right voted for a extreme left candidate. That makes one very worried, the fact is most women are emotianally driven and that makes them unstable and hard to predict.

I did vote for who I think will win. Not who I want to win. But if I did not comment, that would be un-American:D

I voted for Obama/Biden to win the election. Having said that I was of the belief that Clinton would breeze through and win the Democratic nomination. How wrong I was. :damn:

I think that's how she felt, too:rotfl:

Good point! :lol:

Well, never heard much from Palin before tonight, but she nailed the speech with poise. Sweet!

McCain / Palin

FTW!

;)

She did a hell of job. Can't wait to see her and Biden....:up:

You are stating that too lightly. If this were baseball, she just hit a grand slam. Very confident, well spoken and I'm thinking the brightest crayon in the box at the moment. I think she took some pokes for sure but the pokes were the truth. Perhaps the Obama camp does not know what to make of this:hmm:

McCain found his answer to the attack dog that Biden is portrayed as.

She speaks well but IMO didn't say a thing of substance. 1 point for Obama here after listening to her. She didn't do anything but dance around issues or ignore them completely. McCain better say something of substance tomorrow... None-the-less, I'm still really looking forward to the debates where maybe someone will talk about issues :yep:!!! (Both sides included).

Just My independant opinion which is leaning more to the left the more I hear the right speak.

I liked Huckabee's speach though! It had some good shots that I thought were pretty good.

Just livening the conversation with no ill will intended so have at me :lol:!

Cheers!

:up:

In the name of Freedom and the American flag vote Republican. :D

Don't let those Communist Democrats in if you don't want the Red Army marching outside the White House. :p

Palin was pretty clever in making "the media" into the evil guys, That way, when they start picking apart her bs-laden speech, the Republicans can cry "There they go again!"

That said, Obama is further ahead on polls than ever before. Hmph, convention bounce or result of McCain's VP selection? y'all decide.

Actually a better analogy would be that Palin did wonderful in batting practice. This was a prepared speech to a friendly audience.

Before we can hand out "grand slams" we need to play a game against an opponent (debates).

We need to see how McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden do with unscripted questions and not in an environment of sycophants.

Then we can see who gets on base and who strikes out.
