Definitely 1. No doubt. Nothing funny about it, so defintely not 2. While I would consider 3 in the back of my mind, 3 has nothing to do with race, so that would go out the window quickly.

Edited to add: I don't mean to ignore the supposed reference to Hillary. There is also no room for that, either, whether in a campaign or in real life, and references like that real do downgrade what I think of the person.

And your point is...?

Look, she's a "heartbeat away from the presidency"--given the things that are coming out about her (and no, I don't mean things uttered at a Denny's), I am not about to give her a micron of benefit. Sorry.

PS: Gorsh speaking of funny, isn't it funny how some Republicans are treating her all special-like, almost like um... a celebrity? :rolleyes:

...perfectly clear, I thought.

And since Obama would actually be in the Presidency, I would guess that means he should be given even less of a benefit of a doubt than Palin.

Neither one of you are making any particular sense in those last two posts.

And actually, you both sound like you love swirling these dumb rumors around.

Seriously, "I don't care about this awful rumor but here I'm going to make everyone read it anyway"? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If it's any consolation to anyone... I know a couple of women, who are Republicans, who have decided to vote for Obama because McCain selected Palin.

Sheesh. I directly quote something Biden said (not a rumor) because I thought it was a funny "oops", and that is equated with posting an unsubstantiated rumor about Palin calling Obama "Sambo". I'll see your three :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and raise you three more :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: .

Do you think I believe anyone here is going to be swayed by me posting that Biden said that? Well, you guessed it. I figured that every Obama supporter would be so shocked that they would immediately abondon their support. I'm caught.

My sister: was lukewarm towards McCain but is now excited about the Palin pick.

My Sister in-law: Was campaiging for McCain but is torn about his pick for VP; she likes that he chose a woman but thinks a better woman could have been found....she still continues to campaign for him.

My Mom: Dad said she shouted with joy when she heard the pick. She was going to vote libertarian(like she has done since 96') but nothing short of Palin getting a sex-change operation would stop her now from voting for McCain.

My foam supply lady: Says she's very excited by McCain's pick for VP....but then again, she probably has me pegged for a Republican and doesn't want to see her sales go down;)

My lunch delivery gal: Wears Obama garb so I doubt if the Palin pick has affected her opinion of McCain one way or another.

My Wife: Really, really doens't like McCain(she's no Obama fan either) but the pick of a woman VP has her at least entertaining the thought of giving him her vote.

I know more women than this, but oddly enough not too many share thier political opinions with me;)

Well... Most of the women I know had no intention of voting for McCain, even before he picked Palin. :)

Out of curiosity, why would a Libertarian who actually votes Libertarian be swayed by the pick as vice president of a person who espouses no Libertarian views?

Or is she just a vagina fan?
