All About McCain - Page 50

It was clearly a barb related to them slamming on her experience or lack there of, particularly with Obama now proclaiming that he has more experience than Palin - as if it matters if he does or not. She's the VP candidate, he's the candidate for President.

I do believe the dems (and don't expect me to believe that things happen in the campaign without Obama's approval) were mocking her experience as a small town mayor before she said that.

Much like the Rep's were doing to Obama about 2 weeks ago and prior?

Exactly. I don't deny it at all, nor will I be shocked at politicians being political. I don't live in a world where I think my side doesn't play politics.

With Palin's selection and the related events of the past week, the campaign has taken a strange turn. Where once it was Christian morality vs. Hollywood debauchery, now it seems that you're not a real American unless you're life is, well, Springeresque. I predict we'll hear more tawdry personal revelations about her family in the coming weeks that will be exploited towards this end. I expect McCain will appear on the platform tonight with his first wife and his old girlfriends.

The Democrats will try to respond in kind, but they won't get it right. Obama will start smoking more in public, but he'll look more like a 60's intellectual smoker than a working class smoker. He'll yell at his wife in public. Beau Biden will agree to come out as gay--even though he's really not--and Joe Biden will show up at debates drunk talking about how much he loves his gay son.

For those interested, Sarah Palin has a vlog on YouTube.

I've been thinking about McCain and the whole torture thing. He brings it up at every possible opportunity, but I think it's possible that it makes him significantly less qualified to be pres. He was there for what...four years? That is bound to damage the psyche in a profound and irreparable way. He has my respect for enduring it, but no way do I want that kind of experience anywhere near the red button.

Not to pick nits but what he brings up is his time as a POW, but he is very careful never to use the word "torture" because what happened to him, if we use the Bush definition, is "advanced interrogation techniques" that are approved by the White House for GITMO detainees.

Holy moly -- Just heard about some woman named "Ann Kilkenny" on NPR -- she grew up in Wasilla with Palin and they attended meetings together and such... she apparently decided to "tell the truth" and sent out an email to her acquaintances who wanted to know more about Palin's years there...

She said she sent bulk email to everyone with a promise to please not forward it "to the Internet" and of course it's hit the blogosphere.

All I can say is YIKES this woman is bad news!!

She was a TERRIBLE mayor!!

Honestly, that could so easily be a hoax that I'm not even going to read it.
