Not his same old "he voted for this or that", over and over again...

I haven't been impressed with any presidential campaign debate except for Cheney/Lieberman. Probably the only debate where the focus was on substance over presentation (although to be fair, a highlight was when Lieberman mentioned his success in the private sector and Cheney joked that he wanted to help Lieberman by sending him back to it).

Both of these putzes work for running mates that have the same essential position on illegal immigration: offer amnesty to illegals here, and secure the border. There isn't anything to debate, and whoever brings it up will just alienate the many people who don't like amnesty.

Now about the final win, well we'll see, as a half breed something, I hope you're wrong  |
I don't think there many women are going to vote for Palin because she's a woman, any more than many women supported Clinton because she's a woman. The key thing to keep in mind here is that nearly 90% of US voters have their minds made up about what party they support and they aren't going to change their minds anytime soon. There's about 10-15% of the population that's somewhere in the middle who decide elections. So a very small number of undecideds won over makes a huge difference. The Clinton voters who might be converted are not committed Democrats, but part of that middle.
