Do the Republicans Really Want to Talk About Pennsylvania Football Team Gaffes?

Just because Obama doesn’t know a lot about anything is no reason to pick on him.

I wouldn’t read much into it since Obama is a Sportscenter junkie. Or perhaps it’s a comment on the struggles of the PSU basketball team, since Obama pays most attention to basketball.

Just goes to show how confused, muddled, and bewildered the Arizona senator really is.

Yeah, they would rather talk about non-issues. Meanwhile, did anyone else notice?
This weekend:
Joe Biden is doing “Meet the Press” Sunday.
McCain is doing “Face the Nation” and Obama “This Week,”
Which means that Palin is the only one skipping the elite media circuit that she derided last night.

Wow the Republicans REALLY have nothing to run on if they are making a big deal out of this.
This is more of a lisp than a gaffe.

Surely a man could not make a mistake about what he told captors over a five year stay at the Hanoi Hilton…
Maybe Joe Biden remembers what he ordered for dinner during his first week in the Senate.
That was about the same time…

Some one needs to develop a portable teleprompter for Obama to take with him every where.

The numbers are out. Almost 35 million tuned in for Sarah Palin….
and that was for our VICE PRESIDENT!!!!!
LOLOL… this is FUN!

This is juvenile. Typical of Republicans….little boys who never grew up.

Jo
and your president will not get even half of that
i will be watching the redskins/giants tonight.
mccain is as exciting as watching paint dry

“Which means that Palin is the only one skipping the elite media circuit that she derided last night.”
Palin can’t talk to the press yet.
She’s not ready.
But somehow she will be ready to be VP learning McCain’s knee by Nov.

Jo, 35 million tuned in because they were hoping to find out more about the VP candidate….they are still waiting.
I think it is funny that the Rep are making about deal about mispronounciations by Obama when a company has put out a whole day by day calendar of boneheaded things Bush has said while in office (That would be 366 things that go beyond mispronouncing some words.)

“I’m curious how Obama’s record as a Civil Rights Lawyer (which he claimed he was today) compares to that of a small time Mayor of Wah-silly?”
He was involved in the lawsuit that forcing the Gov of IL to enforce Motor Voter Laws.
But I guess in the rw world, running a small town into the ground with $22M in debt is a greater accomplishment than making sure people’s voting rights are honored.

“37M+ heard Palin speak last night. Who cares if she won’t talk to some biased beltway elites. She’s talking direct to the people.”
Of course a Republican loves a one sided dialogue especially when one’s lies can go unquestioned by pesky reporters.

New poll out today showing Obama ahead 3 points in North Dakota….NORTH DAKOTA!
The in roads the DNC has made with their 50 state strategy and the immense organization that Obama has created mean McCain is gonna have his hands full in red states not just swing states.

I might be wrong but I imagine most people all over PA identify with and are proud of the Nittany Lions. So how is this such a big mistake?

The Alaska governor overcame several glitches and technical problems to deliver her speech without getting flustered, impressing McCain and his staff and allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
Foremost of the obstacles, Palin’s teleprompter was not working properly. When she took the podium, the machine rolled so quickly, it often skipped the first line or two of every paragraph on screen. The operator said he had new equipment and wasn’t sure how it would work.
However, Palin also went on stage with a slightly outdated hard copy of her speech. For various unexplained reasons, she and her closest advisers had an old draft on hand, and even had a hard time furnishing one of those for her to use. Several of the drafts were scribbled on, so one aide gave Palin a wrinkled, folded copy out of his pocket.
Officials said Palin responded in mom-like fashion, concluding, “Well, I suppose I could put a book on it and smooth it out a little. “
During one part of her speech, she couldn’t see the teleprompter because signs were blocking it. That was when she ad-libbed a line about the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull — “lipstick.”
The line was a hit with the audience. It is something she had jokingly said to staff during the speech prep process.
now compare Obama without teleprompter

amy,
The teleprompter crap has already been debunked.
Sarah Palin delivered a powerful speech last night, but she did not “wing it.”
Which is what Erick Erickson, citing sources close to McCain, has written on his blog, RedState.
Erickson writes that “the Teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Gov. Palin was in the speech.”
This claim has been picked up on Drudge and could quickly enter into the insta-mythmaking about a speech that need not be embroidered.
Perhaps there were moments where it scrolled slightly past her exact point in the speech. But I was sitting in the press section next to the stage, within easy eyeshot of the Teleprompter. I frequently looked up at the machine, and there was no serious malfunction. A top convention planner confirms this morning that there were no major problems.
Erickson writes that the same malfunction happened during Rudy Giuliani’s speech earlier in the night. Again, I watched the Teleprompter during this speech, and it worked without problem. Giuliani, as is his wont, simply decided to go off-script and add some new lines, such as one attacking Obama for his “bitter” comments.
These extemporaneous comments, many of which drew huge applause, made the former New York mayor’s speech run much longer than planned. So much so that a convention planner confirms that they had to scrap a planned video ahead of Palin’s speech.
It came from the McCain campaign…proven to be liars…again.

The Greatest -
I’ve said for months that the best way to handle Obama is to laugh at him. There’s so much material and he’s so thin skinned.

“He’s tried 14 cases total.”
So he is a civil right lawyer even though you claimed he was lying about it.
And the Motor Voter suit was not some small case.
I want a President who will fight for our rights.
When has John McCain done that?

Which one is the real Obama? The one on the Greek-column decorated stage or the one in a town hall meeting?

The problem with your comparison:
There’s a difference between a gaffe (Obama) and a lie (McCain).

“I want a President who will fight for our rights. When has John McCain done that?”
1958 to today. The years of 1967 to 1973 have particularly tough fights.
Don’t go down this path. McCain has vastly more credibility Obama as a leader. If I were you I’d keep pushing the right to choose and the creationism issues. These are the two where demonstrably dreadful outcomes are possible. They simply may not split in the demographic the way either of us would like to see.

Indeed, I DO remember that!
What’s the over/under on “POW” tonight?

Oh goodie. Another election reduced to irrelevant trivia. Never mind that the incumbent is destroying the lives of millions of Americans – Obama gets the name of a football team wrong. Unforgivable!!!!!!!!!
