Obama Doesn’t Believe Polls Showing Women Voters Flocking to McCain-Palin

I don’t either
women aren’t that stupid.
and Palin is a trojan horse.

No way is McCain/Palin drawing Hillary voters.

This woman is voting for Obama. We are at war and the economy is failing, yet the GOP picks an unqualified VP to run with a 72 year old man. GOP=STUPID

He’ll believe it on Nov. 5.

Women gravititing towards Palin, progressives gravitating towards Obama, people with brains and knowledge of fiscal responsibility gravitating towards Ron Paul. Only November will tell.

Palin is one heartbeat away from being our president and that scares the hell out of me. This choice was clearly a political move from the republicans. And anyone wearing a political button stating “our VP is hot” is an insult to every female out there!!!

does obama really think the President can single-handedly change the economy?
is he that delusional or ill-informed about the power he seeks?

millions of people were stupid enough to choose obama over Clinton, why is it so hard to believe that many aren’t stupid enough to vote for palin simply because she is a woman?

I agree with Obama. The polling is simply picking up the excitement among conservative women, as before they would simply hang-up on calls from pollsters now they are answering them. But all the women I know who voted for Clinton realize that Palin would absolutely destroy what she has worked for. Once the excitement wears off and the country sees that Palin is lieing through her teeth about reforms and experience, then the polls will return to Obama up by 3-5%.

I was hillary supporter , now voting for Palin for the right cause.

I loved Hillary and I respect Palin. McCain may not get my vote but Obama definitely won’t.

I am another woman that will vote for McCain because of Palin. I had already decided that to vote for Obama was not an option so I either would not vote or I would vote for McCain. I was waiting to see his running mate and I am quite satisfied. I disagree with alot of you in that most of the women I speak with (and Palin has caused alot of buzz around here) will vote against Obama by voting for McCain because of Palin.

Let’s just hope and pray that Charlie Gibson is up to the task in his interview with Gov. Palin, and is as tough on her as he was on Obama in the primary debate. There are so many questions she needs to answer, about her scandals, her lies and her extremist views.

These polls are done by news organizations or their owners in order to sell news papers and get hits on web sites….
Enough said.

then he is dumber than I thought.

Apparently one of Obama’s “57 states” is the State of Denial.
McCain/Palin are drawing crowds of 20,000-40,000 and have to turn people away. Obama is speaking in barns.
Bye bye Barry!

unemployment rate November 2006 before Harry and Nancy took control
4.4%
Unemployment rate after 2 years of democrat control of congress
6.1%

This is one Democrat voting for McCain and Palin!!!! She rocks!!!

Wow, the green-eyed monster sure has Obama again.

karl rove tactic #4: if a poll doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, attack its credibility

Palin’s not going to last. Already, the stories are getting serious…this morning’s Washington Post shows how she claimed per diem from the state of Alaska for time she spent…AT HOME.

Press availability is 4 questions, including 2 from outright Obamanuts from the media. You can’t make this up. So Palin’s 2 day interview with Charlie Gibson will make her more available.

Obama is in denial, plain and simple.
I was a democrat for many years, and switching to the independent party.
Obama is driven only by his ego.
With all the attention Hillary Clinton had received, and now Palin, he not only is a sexist, but attacks anyone who “steals” the limelight away from him.
Obama stubbles and fumbles when he tries to speak one on one; the only thing Obama had ever going for him, he reads the teleprompter.
What a mistake the DNC made in choosing Obama–after stealing the delegates away from Clinton.
Hillary 2012
McCain/Palin 2008

You’re right; women shouldn’t be so gullible as to vote for Obama, the biggest fraud to come along in a long time. If I ever hesitate and think of supporting Obama, I will just remember the DNC, Donna Brazille, Oprah, Rev Wright and angry Michelle Obama as well as the biased CNN and MSNBC, and I will ran from the Obama ticket straight to a vote for McCain/Palin.

John in Seattle — would you call someone who favored abortion, who won’t allow academic debate on the flaws in Darwin’s theory, who believes in the effectiveness of of big government, etc to hold extremist views? After all, they’re the opposite of Palin’s – and views on either end of the spectrum can be considered extremist — by the other side.

If Hillary supporters are voting on the issues, then they are voting for Obama. If they are voting simply because they have the same reproductive parts, then they will go for McCain. My God, she doesn’t even support abortion in cases of rape and incest. Tell a woman who has been violently raped that she now has no say in her own body for the next nine months. Seems to me she’s being violated all over again.

My serious concern is that Palin honestly believes attacking Iraq was part of “God’s plan”. I thought that starting war in the name of God was limited to radical Islamic terrorists? What is happening to religion in the world? I implore everyone to think carefully about this topic. God does NOT have war in his plans for us, and we all knows this deep down in our hearts.
Furthermore, what if Palin suddenly decides that nuclear war is part of “God’s plan”, as she sits there 5 feet away from the ‘red button’? What will happen then?
Here is what Palin should do. She should run for Ted Stevens Alaska US Senate seat. Her and John McCain can do their reform thing as two high ranking US Senators. Let them prove themselves for 4, 6, 8 years. If they do what they say they can do, then they’ll be shoe-ins for the 2012 or 2016 election.

Sounds like jealousy to me! Obama said he wanted to bring the Washington “outsiders” but had to go with Biden because Obama CANNOT choose a Washington outsider (he needs some experience on his ticket).
Although I do not agree with Sarah Palin’s Anti-Choice reproductive rights status, I think we need McCain in office to help this country move in the right fiscal path. The fact that she is a woman is just icing on the cake.
Have fun Obama and your now run-of-the-mill DC campaign!

Obama said the race is far from over, and that issues would ultimately beat out personality.
Funny — Hillary Clinton thought the same thing during the Democratic primaries.

Democrats do not support women except when they are getting abortion. They want to keep women home either getting pregnant or getting abortion.

I am an independent female voter. If anything Palin has totally turned me off from the Republican ticket.

Really, is that why most women vote democrat?
“Democrats do not support women except when they are getting abortion. They want to keep women home either getting pregnant or getting abortion.”

There are many “democratic” woman (and men) I know that will vote McCain/Palin.
I know I will (guy), my wife;–and many of us “bitter” Pennsylvanians who “cling to our guns and religion”, etc.
Funny, Obama must actually think his “change” message is getting through–nope. Obama is just an “opportunist poltician” that’s it. Say/do anything to get elected.
Hillary 2012
McCain/Palin 2008

Palin just got her passport to travel last year and she could be one heartbeat away from being President.
Be careful what you wish for.

Rochelle,
Exactly what kind of way are McCain-Palin going to put us on the right fiscal path. I can think of many ways that we are likely to end up in an economic depression if McCain is elected. But none that put us on the “right path.” Please, enlighten me.

Values do matter. Adultery, corruption, and lying, aren’t my values. That’s why I support Obama.

Obama – running scared!

DSM_CAL,
What are Palin’s “values”? And why are they somehow better than Obama or Biden’s? Or even better than McCain’s?
Please explain.

DSM_CAL,
What are Palin’s “values”? And why are they somehow better than Obama or Biden’s? Or even better than McCain’s?
Please explain.

Ask your self if (God forbid) 70 year old McCain passes away while being President, Do you want a person whos beliefs are so out of touch with most of US in Charge of the country? It is a disaster waiting to happen. And this is more of the same… Republicans saying “The Media slanted to Democrats.” Come on get real. Media is bought and paid for by big money. Those people want to stay in power and will do anything to do so…
Give us a break and elect a person who stands for real change.

Ron, I am proudly one of the 5% that will not vote for Obama. Did not in the primary will not in the general.

Here is another Dem voting for McCain/Palin.
In the end the only ones who will stick with Obama are the brainwashed ObamaBots.People are finally starting to see through this phonie.

I am thrilled that a woman of God will be in power. I am thrilled that someone is going to clean up our libraries and get rid of all the non-christian based books. Do animals need sex ed? NO, so why should we teach it to our children. Palin will bring america back to freedom.

Can anyone really be more concerned about a VP lack of experience than you are presidential candidate’s lack of experience?? Palin has more experience that Obama – period! And if there is a learning curve in the Whitehouse, I would rather it be on the VP side than on the Presidential side. Can anyone say Reality Check ??

Not once has Senator Obama rejected the teachings of the Black Liberation Theology Church that believes that BACKS are the CHOSEN PROPLE or that racism and hate are right. Not one time has he said the actions of Bill Ayers were wrong. Not one time has he stated that the crimes of Tony Rezko was wrong. He was even doing business with him after he knew Rezko was being investigated. Rezko cheated taxpayers and banks out of $100 million dollars with his schemes and Obama benefited.
Considering all these lack of judgment happening and his lack of real experience, one can only conclude he is not fit to be President. Having a loud mouth is not enough. He was screeching yesterday while campaigning. He is losing it.

Obama doesn’t know what he believes. Never has!

How is school going Sarah ? Have you learned anything about the Vice-Presidency yet ? or the world for that matter ?

Hey Cincy, my definition of extremist is this: views that are way out of step with the American people (e.g. abortion not allowed even in cases of rape and incest, banning books from libraries, not teaching sex ed to kids, etc.), views that mix religion and politics (Irag is “God’s war”, attacks on Israelis are God’s retribution). I would also classify as extreme, the tactic of positioning yourself as a reformer “maverick” when the facts show something completely different.

Obama taking questions at an all press conference.
SOMETHING YOU WILL NEVER SEE NOT READY TO EVEN RUN FOR VP PALIN DO.
how about 1 or 2 questions from us dumb votors after u read your speech Sarah P.?

Can anyone honestly be more concerned with a Vp lack of experience than with a Presidential candidate’s lack of experience. Palin has more experience than Obama – period! And if there were a learning curve in the Whitehouse, I would rather it be the VP than the President. Can anyone say Reality Check!

Obama can’t lose what he’s never had. Women as a voting block are the Achilles heel for Obama. They supported Hillary in large numbers throughout the primary season. When Hillary exited the race, women chosen other candidates like Green Party McKinney or McCain/Palin.
Obama has continued to fail in winning women voters and McCain/Palin are reaping the benefit of Obama’s failure.

Obama doesn’t know what he believes. Never has!

Obama is not well experienced for the presidency. And as the election day nears, this ‘novice status’ comes more into play. It weighs on people’s subconscious. That is why more and more voters are turning to the old pro, McCain.

“Why is Nobama all of a sudden sporting a flag pin?”
hey Tiger184
Sarah Palin wears an Alaska First pin
what’s up with that?

Obama has not got a clue what women want. Hint: It wasn’t Biden.
Let the Washington insiders like Kerry, Dodd,and Biden vote for Obama. They all deserve each other. Obama doesn’t care about women’s opinions or role in his government.
There’s no other role for women. Daily Kos [which Obama lists on Google Reader as his top news source] attacked Palin’s maternity.

Someone said:
“Palin has executive experience and proven capability to get the job done. ”
True
“Not just words, but actions too. I supported Hillary, and now support McCain/Palin, because McCain is a stronger and better proven leader.”
Yes, McCain is a leader. But in the wrong direction. The exact opposite direction of Hillary. The last time I checked most people thought Obama was a heckuva leader too.
“We are voting for who is president and ready to lead Day 1, more than the VP candidate.”
True. Why then would you vote for McCain!!! He is going to destroy the economy. He wants to fight a war while lowering taxes!! There is no free lunch (only economic peril).
“Yet, Obama keeps trying to compare himself with the VP Palin’s qualifications and experience, and he doesn’t quite measure-up to her, let alone to McCain.”
That is debatable. But look, your whole premise that “experience = good president” is not justified. Abraham Lincoln, arguably the greatest President ever, had no experience in the Senate or as Governor. No he was a uniter and lead the country through the toughest stretch ever!
Ronald Reagan ran against candidates with more experience and wartime experience TWICE! While I didn’t think he was a great President, most people love him.
So where does this argument that Obama doesn’t have enough experience come from? I realize that Obama is a unique candidate (in many ways), but don’t be afraid. Take your fear swallow it, look at the policy proposals, and I am sure you will vote with Barack Obama as the next President of the United States.
Obama-Biden 2008

I don’t put much stock in polls either. 20% in such a short period of time is certainly questionable. However, if democrats think that Palin has not had a significant impact on not only women, but conservatives as well, they will have a rude awakening. I’m not sure where some of you live or in what circles you travel, but women that I am acquainted with are thrilled with her nomination. I don’t think that Palin will have the impact on the female vote that Obama has had on the African-American vote, but she definately has had a positive impact on McCain’s candidacy.

HE BETTER BELIEVE IT! THE OBAMESSIAH IS ABOUT TO LOSE THE RACE. hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hype and hoopla surrounding
Sarah Palin is much ado about
nothing.
She will falme out in another
week or so when people find
out what she is about.
The only people who are
really energized by her
candidacy are the secessionists
in Alaska.

Not one person on this board has said anything of substance regarding Sarah Palin other than her believe if God. No one can know her because she is hiding behind McCain’s skirt. Warning – Seperation of Church and State. Mass indoctrination is a result of emotions and charisma not intellect. Wake up People. You were so in love with Bush and look what he has done for you. Got a job . . got a house . . got healtcare.

Thinking said: NO true Hillary supporter would shame herself voting for Palin
I find it very interesting that the women that the DNC spurned are falling all over themselves to smear Sarah Palin, who is an embodiment of what they have been speaking about: strong women, successful women.
You all remind me of the classic abused woman. You refuse to admit the truth, rather defend your abuser, sometimes to the death.
IF Obama had picked Hillary, how different this election would be. But Obama didn’t have the guts to put a woman on his ticket, instead he went with traditional cronyism, WHICH IS NOT CHANGE!

Once Palin and McSame are in office I cannot wait for another war, more financial failure, higher taxes and a continuation of the same ‘I am proud of all of you’ comments while their personal coffers overfill with oil money.
It is amazing that citizens of this country are so profoundly inept and stupid. Common sense is so rare in America it is a super-power. Why do we want a conservative base that is completly opposite of that the Constitution and government is supposed to do for we, the people? A governor who just got her passport two years ago is not ‘wordly’ by any stretch. McCain continues to run on being a POW. He is 72 and is clinically insane. His wife has more money than us combined on this comment blog thing and people are supporting him.
I am especially perplexed after 8 years in the military why anyone in their own good mind would vote for Palin and McCain. They honestly believe the American people are stupid. They are liars, cheats, swindlers and completely incompetent for the job.

I wonder if the ‘Chosen One’ can explain
why McCain is now up in the polls? It appears he only believes what he wants to believe which is typical for the Far-Left.

These Dems — first they’re full of sexism and when that doesn’t work they become ageists. If I hear one more time that McCain is 72 I’m going to scream. We are all alive only for today — he could outlive you,

TheDude – the Democrats have started most of this nation’s wars, including WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, etc.

If Sarah Palin were a man, her resume would have been thrown out. She doesn’t have the experience, the only thing she can do is read a teleprompter. If she is so great, how come she hasn’t done any interviews? Not yet quite done memorizing answers the McSame camp want her to say?

Some of the comments on this site are really terrifying. I always knew such ignorance existed but the venom is certainly a surprise.
In all the time Obama has been campaigning, I have never heard a hate filled nasty word come out of his mouth. He has always been professional, highly articulate, intelligent, thoughtful, decent and not afraid to stand his ground. Those who say these horrible things see what they need to see in order to justify their ignorance.
I am a republican, who will vote for Barack Obama for one reason and one reason only, its really quite simple… for those who are not racists, bigots and have half a brain.
IF YOU LIKE THE WAY THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY HAVE GONE FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS, THEN MCCAIN IS YOUR CANDIDATE.
BUT…IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY THE ECONOMY HAS GONE OR OUR COUNTRY’S STANDING IN THE WORLD, IF YOU KNOW IN YOUR GUT THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE RUN THIS COUNTRY INTO THE GROUND AND LEFT US (ESPECIALLY THE MIDDLE CLASS) IN AN ECONOMIC MESS…IF YOU DON’T WANT MORE OF THE SAME, THEN VOTE FOR OBAMA.
Very simple, in the past 6 years my income has remained the same and everything else has gone up significantly. My 20 year old can’t afford college and I can’t afford to send him. I can’t afford medical coverage for him nor he for himself. I JUST CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF REPUBLICAN B.S. and their ugly, hateful, viciouosness.
I will vote proudly and purposely for Barack Obama. I believe he is the change we need.

Anne – in what WORLD does Sarah Palin have more experience than Barack Obama? I’m an independent so I will decide who gets my vote when I hear more from candidates but Palin was a mayor of a city of 6,000 people, 85% of which were white. Barack Obama was a community organizer in a city of 3 MILLION. While Sarah Palin would like to continue her sarcasm about how that doesn’t matter because it wasn’t “real job responsibilites”, the differences are stark… Maybe if she opened her mouth to grant a press interview or take a single question we’d know what she has to offer. But right now all we have are some well-crafted speeches and her parading her family (including her baby) around like some kind of show & tell. Until I can hear whether she can articulate an answer to really hard, tough questions, she gets NOTHING from me – certainly no respect until its EARNED.

What’s the difference between George W. Bush and Sarah Palin?- Lipstick

When women find out that McCain believes women should be payed less then men, they’ll flock to Obama.

Abortion isn’t the BIG issue this year….This year there are far more important issues to be voting on. Abortion essentially won the loser that’s currently leading our country in his seat for the past 3.5 years. People there are far more important issues on the table and at stake. Do you want more of what we have been fed for the past 8 years? I know I sure don’t. I’m not big on abortion, but I know I would want that option and I would want that option for my daughter should she or I are ever be faced with a horrible situation where it’s warranted. I am however big on freedom and a more profitable economy, not one where people and families are holding onto strings just to get by – all the while losing their homes and watching prices of essentials grow higher and higher. And also watching or military men and women coming home in boxes and for what??? This election there are far bigger issues than abortion. Everyone needs to open their eyes. Also, I for one do not want to give my vote to a man who cheated on his disabled wife for 4 years. No thanks. Personal integrity speaks volumes about persons leadership abilities

Palin is no Hillary! I don’t care what anyone says. I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Wait until Palin is interviewed by the media and asked about her record on the bridge to nowhere and pork barrel spending. And better yet, the debate!! Can’t wait to see it all fall to pieces for the Repubs!

I watched this interview and Obama seem to be quite off his game. I can’t believe he has lost all of his splash so quickly after all of this lavish media and liberal support. Why is he focusing on Sarah Palin so much. Shouldn’t he be concerned more about John McCain. I can understand the media asking him about the first woman candidate being on the republican ticket. He just thought it made the right wing happy but she’s added more than that so it made him look weak and troubled. She has made reforms and listened to the people in her state. It’s great they lead her not her doing what she wanted by forcing her ideas on them.

Palin is no Hillary! I don’t care what anyone says. I don’t see what all the fuss is about.

Chris, we see who democrats are and we understand completely what they are up to.
Minorities are only useful during an election. That’s it.
And now, add women to that list.

“Bill” has the best post here: I am sorely disappointed by the total lack of any intellectual discussion of any issues that matter to this country. Why in the world would anyone want a president that is just like them? I want someone that is a whole lot smarter and more talented than me, and I am no slouch. Folks, this is not the Yankees versus the Red Sox. If we want to compete against the Chinese and all sorts of other countries out there that are trying to clean our clocks, we need the most talented leaders out there, not someone who just so happens to think like me. If we keep bickering over nonsense, then we are going to become a third rate country and all look back some day and say what happened?

Lets just get this straight…red vs blue states…Blue..NEnglan, Mid Atlantic, upper midwest and CA, Oregon and Washington…Red states, southeast, south, mid west, mountain west. With very minor exceptions the red states have the highest poverty rates, the most violent crime and the least amount of highly educated people and the most social problems…the statistics are widely published on these numbers…the poor uneducated keep voting people in who keep them poor and keep the wealthy rich with the trickle down economic theory…when will the poor realize they actually need the govt to help…be carefull pretty soon the blue states will give the south and midwest what they wish…to be left alone…that way more young people will continue to move out of the midwest the south will continue in stifling poverty, and they can deal with the immigration problem by paying for a big wall to protect themselves from immigrants by themselves…come to think of it, I think the blue states should give up on the red states and vote republican..if they arent smart enough to get it after 8 years, lets give them 8 more to stay poor, uneducated and struggling with social problems…maybe they could move to the upper midwest, NE or CA…no can’t afford it….

Chris Stewart – please stop the self-righteous Democratic pontificating. The Democrats have ONE black Senator — just one more than the Republicans. The Democrats have run ONE woman for VP – the same as the Republicans. The Democrats have had ONE woman Sec. of State – the same as the Republicans. The power structure in the Democratic party is largely white and male – just like the Republicans.
PS: How many POOR persons have been on the party ticket?

>COndaleez Rice and Oprah know a strong woman like themselves ( including Hillary).
You ask who is stronger?
Conoleeza – pretty good, she exercises and weight lifts.
Hillary – ok, she eats hot jalopenos and don’t need to sleep.
Oprah – well, when is she going to lose that extra 200 lbs?
Palin – played high school basketball in state championship, nicknamed Sarah Barracuda. did Obama lead any basketball team (high school, college, or recreational) to any kind of glory?

First of all, dont beleive every poll out their, some of them are Out -Liers. i think that 20 point swing is a Out-Lier. just like the Gallup Poll suggesting McCain is ahead of Obama. i beleive these polls anymore. i do beleive Women are more apt to vote Democratic then Republican, and any women voteing for a women that is not ready to be vice president but she is simply a women, is just plain Stupid!

Mary said Values matter, but i am sure she knows nothing about good values, maybe she know the values of hate and fear,,, Republicans need to stop playing with religion for political gains,, Americans are not stupid and they will not vote for another stupid president..

Bob – you forgot to mention that the Blue states have the most segregated schools and the largest gaps between wealthiest and poor….Also the largest problems with homeless and, apparently, HYPOCRISY! Connecticut has the three wealthiest and poorest cities in the nation. Long live the Blue!

Uh, DEB…
Nobama is the one that said “my Muslim faith”
not us!
HIS WORDS, NOT OURS

TheDude – Obama will only change the “image” of the US abroad. He will not make meaningful changes in society…Period. If the war meant that much to him, he would not have picked Biden as a running mate.

Hey John in Seattle – that would be pretty extreme. Except Palin doesn’t fit your dfn – she didn’t request books be banned or actually ban any (see CBS News), she supports both birth control and abstinence programs (see LA Times), she prayed that the efforts being made and plan being implemented was part of God’s (presumably overall) plan (see NPR), remarks by other people have been attributed to her in an effort to create a Wright/Obama guilt by association dyanmic (see NPR), reformer/maverick …IMHO you deal the hand you’re dealt at the table where you’re sitting … i.e., work the system when you have to, go for the gold when you can. I don’t see an inconsistency, and I see little benefit in being a “purely on principle” player like Kucinich/Nader/Paul — ideals may get you to heaven, but won’t get you into elected office(No source, guess it’s for each individual to decide)

Who’s runnig for President? Palin or MacCain? If I was voting for McCain I would certainly want him to take back control of his campaign before I could feel comfortable about him being Commander in Chief.

First of all, there’s no such thing as an honest politician – democrat or repulican. So, Sarah Palin can spout scripted rhetoric from her pulpit across the country but she’s no different than any of them… she just has “witty” little remarks and eyeglasses to distract from them. I’m not sure in what world you people live to say she has more experience than Barack Obama… you wanna say “as much” experience, fine… but more? Where did she gain that experience? When she was mayor of a city of 6,000 people, 85 percent of whom were white? Or now as Governor to 670,000? Seriously? You’re just making yourself look like the conservative-follwers that you are… anti-gay, anti-abortion? Oh well, don’t care what else she can do, that’s all you need to know, right? YOUR values… no thanks.

Its funny how Obama refers to women as FLOCKING or not FLOCKING to the other side. In his world I guess women are not classified for a purpose but to FLOCK

Women who support Palin are opposed to everything that Hillary stands for. Palin has no respect for womens causes or social justice. Furthermore, McCain is a known misogynist. Anyone who says they were going to vote for Hillary but are now going to vote for McCain/Palin is either ignorant of the facts or a liar.

How can you like either side? Bottom line the Republicans are bad because they lie and cheat and steal and hide inside their ‘Christianity’ cloak (although there are many theologians that believe Jesus would have been a Democrat if he were here and had a choice…I think independent). The Democrats are just as bad or perhaps even worse because they said ‘elect us and we’ll fix the problems the Republicans caused’ and when they got elected they crawled right up next to their rotting partners in crime the Republicans. The truth is as the political philosopher said, ‘politics in the US is like a coin it has two sides but is still one coin. The Republicans are one side and the Democrats are the other’…whatever happens they win and we lose. As Americans, when are we going to say ‘enough’ and put an end to this? As long as we fight over who is best the Republicans or the Democrats…they will; and always will. This country is a Democratic (perhaps a one party/coin democracy) Plutocracy and that’s not good for anyone but the rich.

I’m sure the women know that there may be two Supreme Court positions open during the next four years, both are pro choice, and electing McCain/Palin could very possibly lead to a heavily conservative court that would move to overturn Roe v Wade.
I know the Republicans believe the women of America are to stupid to see this coming but I do not believe this for a second.
Palin will make very little difference in the female vote. Those who will vote for McCain were already going to vote for McCain.

It would seem to me that the McCain camp has done its job… which was to divert as much attention as possible away from the actual issues that concern this nation… and direct the attention to the new “Jerry Springer” show which is this years election. You can bet that if the RNC happened first or before Obama announced his VP pick, McCain would not have had a woman on his ticket. A woman was picked because Obama did not pick a woman; it was done as a stunt and nothing more. McCain picked Palin because of her direct ties to Alaskas oil fields. McCain also picked a woman because he believes that a woman will vote for a woman period; he thinks a woman will not have the smarts to educate themselves on the issues and cast a vote based on actually being informed.
Would some one please explain to me why McCain is being viewed as promoting change? What Change? Its the same old thing that has been going on for the past 8 years… diversion tactics, bold face lies, give more to the very rich and make the poor even poorer, make lots of laws and moral judgements on every person in this country but don’t apply them to yourself and continue to drive this country right into the ground. If McCain is elected do you really think he and his buddies are going to let Palin do or say anything during those four years? Oh no, that will not happen, if elected Palin will be nothing except a matching bookend to McCains trouphy wife… they should have labels on them that state “For display purposes only”. Change… I don’t think so!!!

There are 42 million registered Democrats and 31 million registered Republicans – AP
Numbers don’t lie.

There are 42 million registered Democrats and 31 million registered Republicans – AP

He Chris:
Minorities flock to the Democrats because they get handouts…..that’s why!

RE:::but more? Where did she gain that experience? When she was mayor of a city of 6,000 people, 85 percent of whom were white?
You just showed that you feel people are not equal and certain groups need a special group label.

I think everyone should stop this non sense and really listen to your soul. If you strongly believe in your views then it does not matter what pary you belong too, you should listen to who you really believe and know is reaqlly working for our great nation. I have listen to everything everyone has said and I not not heard anything that Mccain has said he will do for the US. The only thing he had said is praised himself and his VP of what they have done but not what they will do for the US. How can you think about having someone run the US that does not KNOW HOW to improve the US. OBAMA stands for everything good we want for the US. I know my child will be safe with Obama running the US. I have to thinks about my child and not myself and that is why Obama gets my vote.

We shall overcome the sudden hurricane of Sarah Palin hype as it doesn’t take long to see the numerous character flaws and contradictions. Please, how can you think women voters are that stupid? She is nowhere near the candidate/ability/or ideology of Obama or his fellow democrat Hillary. The GOP has only won their own usual narrow minded base. Obama has won over independent, newly registered and discouraged voters who had given up their priviledge to vote in previous years as they felt they had no real choice.
There will be a turnout of record voters and the election will indeed result in President Barack Obama so you wingnuts better prepare yourself or just get out of OUR country, the land of the free – not the land of the GOP!

Now that Obama isn’t being carried around on the shoulders of an overly exuberant liberal media, he really doesn’t have any answers. If anything, he is adopting a Republican stance on all isues to get elected. He is desparate.
The polls always give Democrats 5 points because the media that take them are Democrats. Obama is at least 5 points further down than polls indicate.
Obama better have a hat trick ready because he needs to get creative quick.

Obama will lose trust me

Great strategy. If the truth is against you, just deny it! My solute to Obama.

Palin is not “drawing” this woman, and neither of my 4 sisters

YES, we women are flocking to McCain now with his choice of Palin. Obama is in denial.

CHRIS:
It’s the truth Chris…..by the way, I’m black!

NEWS FLASH!!! Obama, it time to run against McCain/Palin not Bush. The Bush message is getting old.

Why should Obama answer that question? He chose the Vice President who he thought would be best for the country, not that one who would garner the most attention. He felt that he and Biden were compatible and could work well together. That decision represents good judgement, and it speaks for itself.

Media giveth, Media Taketh! The American people are a bit smarter than what the pitbull and her grandpa think.
I live in a Republican district (the educated and younger type of reps) and frankly most are very embarrassed by the charade of the mediocre ticket, some are actually voting for Obama.
Obama/Biden will win!

It is absolutely absurd to think that any intelligent woman who was a Hillary supporter would now swing her vote to Palin. She represents a totally different political view than Hillary, and has done more against women than supporting them.
Palin is a puppet for the republican’s gambling on the sensational tactics of the republican party. Once again they are playing the same old smoke screen games that are aimed to distract voters from the real issues.
The last eight years have been ENOUGH !!
Palin is simply a falsified MASK , designed to lure in the woman vote. Any woman who votes for her betrays the essence of what women have struggled to achieve for decades. Palin is a worm on an ugly hook !!

What is wrong with Obama? He is still refusing toaknowledge the non-college age women of his party. A pathology is becoming apparent. In his “historic” response speech on racism the only bad guys he pointed fingers at were his white grandmother whom he later referred to as “a typical white woman” and Geraldine Ferraro. He allowed mysogyny and sexism to play on his behalf during the primaries, and refused to commit to supporting Clinton should she be nominated. He refused to have her as running mate although she had slightly more than half of his own party’s votes. He is willing to risk being the first African American president out of inability to compromise his own ego. This will effect black Americans for generatins and demonstrates a clear unwillingness to represent all Americans.

Maybe more women see “Hope” and “Change” when they look at Palin than Obama. Wouldn’t that be ironic?

Ladies, heed your heroine:
“No way, not ever, no McCain”
Sen. Hillary Clinton

Any self-respecting (read: strong) woman not a slave to religious dogma will be voting Democratic and not for the NutRoll from Alaska…get real poll people…Democratic women belive in Freedom, Choice, Equality and Social Responsibility. We are NOT going to abandon those beliefs because McCain puts a female on his ticket…

I am a Hillary supporter who is voting for McCain/Palin. You are wrong if you think they aren’t going to pull from Hillary’s base. I know in my circle of friends that all but one will be voting for McCain. Obama will pay for note picking Hillary…you wait and see.

RE:::When women hear McCain’s supports overturning Roe v Wade, they’ll flock to Obama.
Very boring and old fear tactic. Find a new fear divider.

Senator Obama,
You’re right! As for me and my girlfriends (sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits) we’re voting for you!
We’re not easily fooled to think that any republican, whether it be man or woman will look out for our best interest. We will not vote against our economic or personal interests!
The democrats have ALWAYS supported women’s issues, and we’re NOT leaving our party.

Great strategy. If the truth is against you, just deny it! My solute to Obama.

Am surprised at the amount of criticism anti-Obamans are throwing here. What I don’t read here is them seeing what is happening to the nation. Obama is propelled and funded by the people. Now you can predict a bad tommorow with Obama while live the horrible reality of Bush. McSame will bring the same horrors to you in a greater scale than Bush. So, don’t shoot our messenger, Obama. We the people support what he intends to do. As for Republicans…the RNC did make it clear that they dont think they are Americans till they put on there hats. It is evident they don’t give a damn about America. Wake up critics…stand as the people not republicans….there is an important document that starts “We the people….”. Its about us Americans!

Palin billed the state of Alaska for 312 nights expenses when she stayed at her own home. Over $16,000. And this is the kind of person McCain picks? Shame on him. Indict Palin, she is a crook.

What else would one expect him to say? He is so transparent.

Joanne – Kerry’s first choice of a running mate was McCain, who turned him down. What does that tell you? Perhaps that until he became the Republican nominee, he was seen as someone who could easily work both sides of the aisle and was loved by Democrats. Even Biden during the primary season, said he thought McCain would bring more experience to the White House than Obama would. As for Meghan being an independant, McCain has given several interviews where he brags about that and uses it as an example that he raised a free-thinker.

Christie
It’s the truth, and women need to know that they’ll be treated like second-class citizens with McCain.

He sure has not a leg to stand on since 98% of the blacks have been voting for him since day one.
He really shouldn’t even discuss this 20% number, but AFTER the election, the analysis of female voters (Democrats, Independents and Republicans), now THAT will be fascinating. Hillary supporters too. Women are 54% of the country….we are the majority of doctors in this country and many women on Fortune 500 lists (more than African American)…..what makes politicans in this country think they can get away with sticking it to Hillary Clinton in a way that even Republican women could see these past months.
HILLARY SUPPOTER FOR McCAIN/PALIN!!!!!!

Thank you Obama, It is nice that SOMEONE understands that women will vote their own mind and heart once they look at all the facts NOT just because someone puts a women on their ticket. I’ve been insulted by McCain’s ploy, putting an unqualified person on the ticket just because she was female and think all women will vote for them. Unless you are a rich white old man we will not survive another 4 years just like the last 8 years. OBAMA 08 – This republican has change parties – it’s time for a change.

Since she is not facing the media, this is what we know about Palin so far:
1. For the “bridge to nowhere” before she was against it
2. Trooper-Gate
3. Taking expense money ($16,000) from the state that she was not entitled to
4. Husband belonged to the Alaska Independence Party
5. Her religion wants to replace the government with a Theocracy
6. She enquired of her town Librarian how to have certain books banned
Yep, good old Republican Family Values…the Addams family maybe!

I have this eerie feeling every time that Palin talks, it’s like someone has pulled the string on a talking doll- one that has preprogrammed to say the same things over and over again! When will she say anything new, spontaneous, or insightful? Every speech that she makes, she repeats the same old clumsy one liners, with the same repetitive tone, as if she were a comedian telling the same Joke in a new town. The news clips the MSM are showing day to day are word for word the same phrases she spoke at the convention. Will McCain’s handlers ever let her speak extemporaneously, off the top of her head, and maybe even answer a few townhall questions like a regular guy or gal? Incredible.

Obama should start hugging Biden during public appearances and running his fingers through Biden’s hair plugs.
This would attract the Democrat Gay vote and give Obama a jump in the polls.
Hey, the Democrat Party is all for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Why can’t Obama Biden demonstrate it?
McCain Palin support traditional marriage and they’re hugging each other.
Get with it Obama Biden! Show some support for your constituents! LOL!

I see a turn in tactics by the lame street media today on this blog site. Gone are the stories of Gov. Palin pro or negative, today we see that all the stories are about Mr. Obama, WOW! you finally caught on, the more you report on leads snatched from the blogs the better she looks. I find it astounding that “journalist” knew nothing about Gov. Palen, a sitting Governer! So run all the stories you like, it’s to late. Now you can “own” your ignorance about politics and tactics.

RE: I don’t know why Aferican Americans (who were born and raised in this country for many generations) are so excited about Obama. Obama isn’t
The democratic party gives them power, that’s it. They don’t even care they are being terribly used by the liberals in their party. That’s why that preacher of Obama’s for 20 years was teaching that hate and distrust. Most fair minded people look at each other as equals. I think there are more racists in the democratic party. Just now, they are getting exposed.

I can only laugh at this so called 20 point swing due to Palin. If this is not an OBVIOUS media thing then I do not know what is. Do they really think people are so stupid as to change their vote when it is not Palin they are voting for rather John McCain. Palin is NOT running for President. McCain is and that is who you are voting for in that case. Palin will fall behind the scenes to the shadows should JM become President. She will have no power or decision making authority on what the President does. For the media to think that we are so stupid out here to not realize this is laughable. Just another media ploy to try and control things the way they want them to be portrayed to sell news. This election is between John McCain and Barak Obama. Not Palin and Obama.

“Am surprised at the amount of criticism anti-Obamans are throwing here.” — come on the Observer. Both sides criticize the other. We’re passionate in what we believe in. This election is getting waaaaaay too long.
Let’s not make conservatives out to be mean… Anything that is said on one side can be said of the other.
Look at your comment, already you’re giving McCane another name… and saying negatives about him that is the FUTURE (meaning you don’t know it yet).
I didn’t know you’re such a great fortune teller of FUTURE events. And to say that Republicans are not Americans… lol… okay, who’s criticizing and aggregating all repubs in one group.
Funny how one who has fought for America all of his life is somehow seen as unAmerican vs the one who spends a lot of his time in another continent (middle east and africa) and getting political. I really could careless about that… but McCane is anything but unAmerican… and yes, he’s a republican… though admittedly, I’ve always seen him as a democrat in ’00. The names republicans and democrats some how sound negative, when it shouldn’t be.

DSM_CAL is absolutely right. The middle like Palin and believe she and McCain do have strong values that are basically, if not entirely, sound. The liberals never get it. They don’t understand the people know a good person when they see him/her and they prefer a good person over a good resume any day.

“TW Guess what?????? The DEM congress voted for the funds!! You think Bush has the power to just write a check? DUHHHHHH. Thats why he presents funding to congress. Why not ask the congress why they did not read the BILLS!!! before they voted?? The DEMs voted YES and have put us into debt!! Now lets here your repsonse to the DEM party for what they approved??”
Don’t even try to pretend the debt is Democrat inspired. The Repubs drove us into debt with with deficit spending and big Govt expansion under Bush.
The Repubs represent the most obstructionist Congress, right now, in the history of the USA.
The presidents veto and the Repub voting block in the Senate have prevented any positives changes proposed by the Dems. We all know it.
Try again son. We are paying attention this time around and know who is to blame for Americas unconscionable debt.

Obama is right. Every woman I know, all around the country – from both parties – wants Obama.
Jim Rod, your facts are all wrong. Both George Bush and is father are the only ones involved with known terrorists: The Bin Laden family has had ties to the Bush oil family for years. And Barack Obama firmly disavowed his ties to his former preacher. Clearly, he does not admire him, so why do you make it sound as though he does by distorting the truth?
Although you are a Viet Nam vet (thank you for your service) as is McCain, you and he probably have nothing else in common unless you: Own 7 homes, can afford your own expensive health care and don’t mind sky-high gas prices and are not having any economic or real estate problems. If any of these things ARE affecting your life right NOW, you are fooling yourself by supporting McCain. Try to think about another 4 years like the last 8. Is that what you really want? Because that’s what you’ll be voting for.
Not me. I’m an independent, too, and certainly know that Obama and Biden are a smarter, more genuine, better balanced team that are trying to help the majority of Americans and not just big business and oil companies.
It’s time for a big change and Obama and Biden will be getting my vote when I walk into the polling place on November 4th.

McCain is clearly disrespecting Palin by not letting her show her true grit and intelligence out on the campaign trail. He should let her speak, not hold her back. He says he can’t wait to introduce us to her. So let her talk. We are sick of the boring canned speeches that we’ve heard over and over again. We want something new from her. Open her up to the people so that we can get to know her better. It’s too contrived and forced right now. Stop holding her back. Let her fly.

Ahhh…. Jim Rod the president has the ability to veto any bill he does not agree with.

Lauren, So because I was born and raised in a Lutheran family you are saying I am Lutheran no matter what I do or believe? What a crock of crap. Obama is not Muslim and we all know it. My parents were Lutheran. I am not. One side of my grandparents were Catholic. I am not. Just because Obama had relation that were Muslim does not make him a Muslim period.
And you know something else? SO WHAT IF HE WAS? This is America. If he wants to be a Muslim, so be it. He can be and practice any religion he wants and be a great President. That IS the point.

INCOME TAX
MCCAIN (no changes)
Single making 30K – tax $4,500
Single making 50K – tax $12,500
Single making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K – tax $18,750
Married making 125K – tax $31,250
OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K – tax $8,400
Single making 50K – tax $14,000
Single making 75K – tax $23,250
Married making 60K – tax $16,800
Married making 75K – tax $21,000
Married making 125K – tax $38,750
Under Obama, your taxes could almost double!
INHERITANCE TAX
MCCAIN – 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax)
OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes.
NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA
New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren’t high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least….New taxes to pay for socialized medicine
CAPITAL GAINS TAX
MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax.
OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.)
DIVIDEND TAX
MCCAIN 15% (no change)
OBAMA 39.6% – (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that ‘Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit)

When the historians look at the past several presidential elections, I believe that they will point a finger of blame at Fox News, a shameless propaganda channel run by Australian Rupert Murdoch expressly to misinform Americans.
When Barack Obama takes office, I hope the first thing that happens is that lawyers and the FCC are sent to investigate Murdoch, and anti-monopoly laws are once again enforced in this nation. The damage Fox News has done to this country is immeasurable. Just look at the folks on this board who parrot Hannity & Co word for word, facts be damned. What a shame.

Lol…by the way, congress approves the budgets. “1. For the “bridge to nowhere” before she was against it…hmm, I was for the bridge to nowhere called Obama, now I’m against it.
The “Party of the People” is now nothing more than a repository for lawyers. Obama is even starting to act and sound like John Kerry
If you want to see how Obama changes things…visit South Chicago. I suggest well armed and during the day.
… Wm. J. LePetomaine ……..Leaving a brother in a slum in Kenya …good old democrat family values?

McCain / Palin ’08
Just remember republicans and democrats support Senator John McCain from the great State of Arizona!
McCain / Palin will receive a mandate from the American people come November!
McCain / Palin ’08
McCain / Palin ’08

McCain had to vote for Bush 90% of the time, because if he didn’t there would be nothing to vote for. Take a look at Obama’s voting record (zero-nada). Aparrently the Democrates had nothing important to vote for.

I bet of the 18 million votes that Ms Hillary got in the primary elections that probably half of those were Republicans trying to keep Obama the furthest left of the Liberal bunch OFF the ticket. Watch as 9 million of those votes go back to McCain / Palin.
I’m just guessing this because ALL of my family members did this and everyone at my dentists office did this and all the people I associate with in competitive circles did that.
This tax payer is tired of paying for the highest teen preganancy rate in the country (women having welfare born kids one after the other with different fathers) Google Nueces County (Texas) Teen Pregnancy. Then these same families show up at the orthodontists offices with their kids in braces and their insurance is medicaid. While my husband and I work our rears off to PAY for our kid’s braces!

Walt… what you for got to list is the tax increase is for those making 250,000.00 or more. He will will providing tax cuts for those making less.
Mccain plan also gives tax breaks to everyone but the one wwho benefits the most……The rich. Sounds familar doesn’t it. Because that exactly what Bush did!!!!

This Hillary supporter is voting for McCain/Palin. Recently I discovered that Hillary and Obama were two of 33 in Congress that voted NO to KEEP ENGLISH the official language of the United States!! Try going to France of Italy and have the same Bill introduced that says France and Italy’s official language should be English…let me just remind all of you that these are the people WE PAY from our paychecks…this lunicy should never even been discussed in Washington let alone someone drafting legislation regarding it!!!! Seriously, think about this when you go in and pull that lever….take responsibility to speak out against these imbeciles in Washington! This democratic congress is the biggest joke…and the joke is on us!!! Some joke!!!

And when were the polls right during the primaries? As a woman, I’m insulted that men think we vote based on the presence of a uterus with no regard to issues. Women don’t let women vote stupid!

Walt…Bravo! you have alot more dedication to research than I, but well done. People only look at what they think Obama’s tax proposals will save them on personal income tax. The rest of what you listed will cost all of us alot more if the messiah is elected.

I was at the rally where Hillary spoke in Kissimmee. She didn’t say anything harsh about Palin and kind of said the regular theme of her party. She’s kinda in the middle, you know.

Obamamama, “As a woman, I’m insulted that men think we vote based on the presence of a uterus with no regard to issues. Women don’t let women vote stupid!” ……….. I am TRULY insulted that you think women for McCain/Palin don’t think of issues before voting. News for you, just in case you are not aware, we are educated, and we DO think for ourselves… your assumption show me that you don’t have confidence in your fellow sisters. You shouldn’t assume that women should flock to democrats just b/c we’re women.

“Obama Doesn’t Believe Polls……”
Jake, you should have stopped right there.

But Aurora, Palin’s views are the opposite of Hillary’s! And she hasn’t said anything that wasn’t written for her yet. What do you REALLY know about her?

I have lived in Alaska for 33 years. Sarah Palin is the best thing that has happened to our government. She cleaned things up in short order. She is a very smart lady and I am so glad she will be our next VP. Believe what you see, she is the real deal. Go McCain/Pailin.

“As Barack said, what do they think we are? Completely stupid? Completely stupid?”
Yes we do think you are stupid. Your mouth just keeps getting you in trouble and exposing yourself.
I mean really, 57 states, with two more to states to go? Every time you open your mouth – the foot finds its place.
It might be best for you to start planning to just go back to working on your community service projects
(which by the way, the facts state that project in Chicago that you created is as your community project is now condemned and completely unlivable…. nice follow through. )
Obama Hussein is totally grasping at straws – I almost feel sorry for him – NOT!
MCCAIN-PAIN 08!!!!!

Alaskan chick — If you guys are so happy, maybe you could give us back the federal funds your state ripped off for the Bridge to Nowhere, over $200 million, which Palin kept and handed out in the form of rebates. Maybe if she gave me $1,200 I’d have trouble seeing her clearly, too. Paying for popularity is an interesting concept for a Christian.

Paige…After Obama loses this election he is more than welcome to change his citizenship again and run for the presidency in France. Thats if the world still wants him.

Obama’s tax plan might save some taxes for income tax on working people. But folks, that is only one tax out of perhaps a hundred that you will save on. The rest goes up under Obama’s plan. My disabled sister’s tax would go up because she lives on her dividends and capital gains. She pays 11% local sales tax on food, clothes, medicine, etc.

She’s a wonderful person and a true reformer. God Bless her and your state and our nation.

It doesn’t surprise that someone as egotistical and narcissistic as BO can’t admit women would support McCain instead of him.
He thinks he is God’s gift to America and to women. Pelosi and Oprah said so.
But he still doesn’t get it. He is losing among women and independents.
McCain took a chance with a woman. Not just any woman–she is capable, strong, smart and down to earth.
She is one of us. Something Obama never could be.
Obama dissed Hillary–thought he didn’t need her, and chose a good-old-boy.
McCain risked his whole candidacy by giving a woman a chance. I can ignore some of her policies because I trust and believe McCain/Palin.

I’m estatic about how the election has turned around in just a matter of weeks!!! I new the Democratic Party was going to blow this one. By elavating King Obama as if he were on a throne. This is exactly what the Dems get for demeaning Hillary so they could have Obama. I still thinks Obama lacks experience for the Office. The Dems caught off their noses to spite their faces by snubbing Hillary, so if McCain wins now….GOOD!

Let’s see. McCain chooses a woman VP candidate nobody ever heard of, and white women switch allegiance by 20% overnight. Does that say more about the
fickle nature of white women or the accuracy of the poll?

Those 20 percent white women were just looking for a reson not to vote for Obaman anyway. Those 20 percent white women also were not a true Hilliary supporter becasue if they were there is not way putting Palin on the ticket would have changed their mind that quick. Palin is no Hilliary and her issues are far different then Hilliary. Those 20 percent were just voting for Hilliary becasue she was a women only. Palin is Hitler in a dress and have not class. Those 20 percent white women I bet are very old angry women. What they don’t realize is they are giving women a bad name. They are letting American people they are welling to put their emotions first over this country and what is best for everybody not just these angry old white racist women. I hope can withstand for more of the same becasue they rather cut of their nose the spice the face and the let the American people suffer becasue they are too hatefull to let go and move on. I have one question for those 20 percent white angry women and this is what do you think to accomplished by backing McWar beside give the American people for more year of the same. Your voting rights need to be revolted. This race is not about you angry white old women, it is about the American people and what is good for this country. McWar will have the USA fighting one war after. Why do yu thing the main reason Bush will not pull any troops out until next year hope that McWar will win. McWar will go back on Bush promisie and keep the Troop from coming home for over 100 years. To you women know what you are doing to all us American people becasue of your anger!
But, like I said in my eariler post it will be the young people that put Obama in the White House. This is their life and they are going to show the world that this is their life and will not let anger, racist, or any other thing stand in their way at this election. Mark my world, if Obama wins it will be becasue of the young voters bottom line.
Main reason I don’t care about the polls results this year. They are polling the wrong people and in Nov. the results will show it. Obama/Biden 2008

“Obama’s tax plan might save some taxes for income tax on working people.”
Anyone earning less than $250,000 gets much more of tax cut under Obama’s plan than McCain’s.
“But folks, that is only one tax out of perhaps a hundred that you will save on.”
There are tax cuts and credits for small business and healthcare.
“The rest goes up under Obama’s plan.”
Not true. If you make $250K +, your income taxes will go up and you payrolls taxes on earnings above $200K
“My disabled sister’s tax would go up because she lives on her dividends and capital gains.”
Obama is only increasing the maximum capital gains rate(from 15% to 20%). So unless your sister is in the top tax bracket for income, she will not be affected.
“She pays 11% local sales tax on food, clothes, medicine, etc.”
Sales tax never applies to food(non-restaurant), clothing or medicine and is controlled by state and local governments vs Federal. There is no federal sales tax.

Not a truck, but a Prius.

The Obama and McCain camps do their own polling every single day and they both know exactly what’s going on with women voters. Is it 20%? Who knows, but there’s definitely something going on with a measurable amount of female voters out there.

Hillary and Palin are very much alike.
They are both tough as nails, small-town girls, smart, won’t back down, unafraid.
They only differ in policies.
I can overlook a few things about Palin because I simply do not trust Obama to lead this country.
He has no history of reform, change,nothing. His arrogance, his associations with Wright, Ayers, and pattern of wasting money just won’t work for me.

Nobody I know is voting for Palin. Only the fundies like her.
I can’t wait for the debate with Biden. They’d better not give Palin the questions ahead of time, and she’d better not wear a wire. They should check her before the debate starts.

Hey, Jake, can you explain to me what the difference is between a “press availability” and a “press conference” is? This is the first time I’ve heard of this “press availability” term.

Past | – You hit it right on the nose. This is why a woman will never become a President becasue they make decision with their emotions and any women know that can be deadly. Act on your emotions first and then clean of the mess after ward if their is any thing left to clean up. Women = Too emotionaly to be President of the USA.
This message is coming from a women and I that the polls are lieing as well!

Obama asked if Americans are stupid.
His camp looks kind of stupid–they act like Obama is running against Palin instead of McCain.
The pro-Obama media is stupid enough to attack Palin. A small town girl with more qualifications than BO.
The very voters he needed.
Someone is stupid–but it’s not the McCain supporters.

Has anyone noticed McCain can’t keep his eyes off Palins behind? Thats Republican respect ladies. The kind of respect you can expect from McCain. Vote for Palin, keep her on the ticket, there are many men in America that want you in the kitchen and making babies.
McCain is a well known womanizer. How much real power do you think he will actually give Palin? lol
Vote Obama and let Hillary assume the job in Govt that Obama will give her. We need Hillary in a position of power to help us all get past the disaster of the Bush years.
no more years… no mcsame.

“Hey, Jake, can you explain to me what the difference is between a “press availability” and a “press conference” is? This is the first time I’ve heard of this “press availability” term.”
I’ll see if I can.
A press conference is where you face multiple reporters and just take questions.
Press availability would refer to how much access you allow to the press whether its one on one interviews, press conferences or even quick answers to reporter question while on the campaign trail.

Ya’ll hear what the difference is between Sarah Palin and the Bush Administration? Lipstick

Richard, take a look at the Democratic party if you want to find one that puts down women and other minorities. Last I checked, it was the Republicans who were putting women and minorities in high places!! The Republican party has changed – you just haven’t noticed!

McCain was born in Panama and yet he’s allowed to run for President.

This is today from CNN: In the Electoral College standings, the most recent survey shows 243 electoral votes either safely in Obama’s column or leaning his way. At this point, McCain can claim only 189. People need to start reading for themselves for making any comments like this one.
Obama have more electoral votes than MCCAIN LIKE HE HAD MORE THEN HILLIARY IN THE PRIMe. This is what counts not so made up polls that are only polling old white people. I have never been poll yet. How about you guys posting today. Have any of you guys been polled yet?

Sally, Obama never asked “if American’s are that stupid.” He SAID Americans are not stupid and would not fall for the false presentation of their records being perpetrated by McCain and Palin.
Of course he was generalizing. He did not include you.

For a candidate that has attacked Obama over and over for being nothing but “rhetoric,” I am now hearing an awful lot of rhetoric coming from McCain, his campaign and his supporters.
Of course, once Palin is finished taking Foreign Affairs 101 and watching that “The Vice Presidency and You: What does a Vice President Do?” video, I’m sure she’ll finally feel confident enough to face the media an then we’ll be gifted with even more rhetoric.

“This is today from CNN: In the Electoral College standings, the most recent survey shows 243 electoral votes either safely in Obama’s column or leaning his way. At this point, McCain can claim only 189. People need to start reading for themselves for making any comments like this one.”
You have to give CNN credit for doing everything thing in their power to push Barry into the Whitehouse. Any negative information regarding Barry turns into a positive, and any false rumor about Palin is worth digging into deeper and constantly repeating. They’re just as bad as US Weakly.

ricky; Obama said: “They think you’re stupid.”

@Oonogil “John McCain is calling for offshore drilling, wind generation, nuclear power and coal generation plus whatever anyone can come up with to solve our energy problems. Obama opposes all of that but the only recommendation he has made so far is to check the air in our tires.”
FALSE.
Here is the TRUTH: “Obama has stated that he is in favor of nuclear power if the waste issue and safety concerns are addressed, and has agreed to compromise on offshore drilling as long as it is part of a large energy package that favors renewable energy.”

“John McCain is calling for offshore drilling, wind generation, nuclear power and coal generation plus whatever anyone can come up with to solve our energy problems.”
McCain seems to favor drilling for oil and nuclear power as that is all he discusses.
“Obama opposes all of that but the only recommendation he has made so far is to check the air in our tires. That’s a plan?”
What a bald faced lie.
Obama supports drilling and nuclear power as part of a comprehensive plan that focuses on new alternative energies creating new jobs and reducing our dependence on oil period.
“McCain has the military experience and wisdom to listen to the generals concerning the war in Iraq and Afghanistan”
Then why did he ignore generals telling him Iraq was not the battleground for the war on terror and why has he been ignoring generals calls for more troops in Afghanistan?
McCain claimed that Afghanistan won because the papers no longer write about it. He also said Palin has foreign policy experience because Russia is close to Alaska. That’s your military expertise.
“Obama plans to raise taxes on the rich. Sounds good until you consider that those business owners will simply raise prices to pass the expense on to the consumer”
If that were true, prices would have come down when Bush cut taxes. They did not.
I love how Republicans proudly talk about the rich avoiding their tax responsibilities and passing those costs on to others.

First off, a Woman can become president. I, a woman voter, just do not trust Sarah Palin because she did not speak the truth in her speach. “When Congress wanted to give me the money for the Bridge to Nowhere, I said NO THANKS!” But Sarah was the one PUSHING for that money for HER Bridge to Nowhere.
Sarah changed her mind ONLY AFTER it was Aired and Captured by the News Media Across the Country about SARAH’S Bridge to Nowhere being funded by FEDERAL TAXPAYERS DOLLARS, which made a lot of taxpayers like me across the country ANGRY about that Bridge to Nowhere.
Yet Sarah TOOK the money and never returned it.
If she were really a good Christian, which is what she claims to be, then she would have returned every penny of OUR Federal Taxpayers Dollars. In fact Am I the only one who wants to know why the Bush Administration did NOT demand my Federal tax money Back. What are we, whimps? or United States of America citizens?

“My question is does these polls include the millions of new voters (YOUNG, MINORITY, TIRED OF THE B.S. AMERICANS THAT WILL VOTE IN THIS ELECTION) or just the same old mindset of PARTY OVER COUNTRY AS THE REPUBLICANS HAVE CHEERISHED FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.”
No. Whenever a poll is put out that is not favorable to Barry it’s wrong. The only true polls come from CNN and MSNBC.

Re: “For those saying Palin can not debate, watch her 2006 governors’ debate”
I saw that debate and she acted like a small time anchorwoman. And in that debate she said she was in favor of the bridge to Nowhere.
LIAR

I Should be Rich:
With the number of Americans that are willing to make the same MISTAKE over and over and over.
I should be able to con them out of their draws, if I was a dishonest person, which I am not.
A fool makes the same mistake over and over and over.
What a fool believes? (Anything, no matter how much it hurts their own self interest)
A fool is born every day? (it appears the percentage in America is HIGH)
A VOTE FOR McCain is a vote for 4 more years of the abuse of the last 8 years.
I agree with Obama’s wife, how can you be proud of a nation of “FOOLS”.

“gl, Hillary had more ELECTORAL votes in the primary..”
You’re both wrong as electoral votes don’t exist in primaries.
Obama won the most delegates (pledged & super) and that is what determines the nominee.
He also won the popular vote.
The only way Hillary wins that is by including MI & FL. One was a straw poll based on name recognition, the other he was not even on the ballot.

A large percent of our Latino community was polled for a school project. Fifty four percent of the 100 people questioned, lost interest in the election when Hillary was forced out. They had hoped she would not cave in to the Party’s pressure. The most common response from those voters: I don’t care who wins now……Most won’t bother to vote. Hmmmm. That’s just in this tiny community.

If people perceive an injust system, they won’t support the system.

Hillary:
If Hillary and her followers, really love this country of FREEDOM, they will back Obama without a doubt.
But if they have so much PRIDE in their own PICK as being the right one, that it will over-ride GOOD JUDGEMENT.. THEN YOU QUALIFY AS A FOOL.

If Obama would have thought: Country before EGO, Hillary would be on the ticket. OBAMA’S FAULT….

This Karl Rove guy is a genius. He has turned the election into “THE NEW AMERICAN IDOL”. He has replaced a dried-out old candidate with zero pzazz, who is too confused to get the facts straight, with a know-nothing right-wing Christian fundamentalist who won a beauty contest. Instead of looking at the horrible record of the last 8 nightmarish Bush years we now want to find out who is the sexiest, who has the best one liner put-downs? Hey Kids, while the economy is going down the tubes, people are losing their homes and jobs, and respect for this country is at an all time low, lets have a Popularity Contest!! Its just like High School, wow, kids this is fun. The heck with boring political stuff, lets go for the cute gal with the smart mouth (her words also provided by Rove). Wake up kids, four years of McCain/Palin will leave you and your families far worse off then you are now. Can you afford to play these childish but potentially lethal games??

“First of all…you MUST recognize that the men candidates have also been asked this of them. The one example that races to my mind is when Elizabeth Edwards revealed her cancer had come back and everyone was asking could John Edwards handle looking after his family at the same time he was running for president.”
Who is everyone?

Are some of these comments cut and pasted directly from moveon and dailykos? Try thinking for yourselves and then maybe people would start listening to you.

Coretta Scott King once said: “Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.” …A qualified woman like Palin, who has the experience of getting the job done, forging reforms and changes to benefit her voters and promoting what is in the best interest of the country. Palin is the female version of Kennedy, who said ‘ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”, and she is willing to take on the VP job. …Contrary, to Obama’s view, women do make a difference every day!Even Michelle knew she was smarter than Obama, especially because he has a problem of being indecisive, and he is too liberal for this democrat.

Offshore Drilling? You say that like it’s not happening every single day! Has anyone counted the platforms in the Gulf of Mexico recently? In the international waters off the coast of this great nation are thousands of leases to FOREIGN owned companies. The road block is they are NOT immediately open to AMERICAN owned companies? WHY? Who the heck knows!? I’d love the answer so write your congressman and find out.

Carl Roove is a flake! Obama’s right those polls don’t show anything to me they a joke! We’ll see on election day!and that sara palin crap well I’m a woman I’m not voting for her she’s a flake to! She’s a pawn for McCain and if people are dumb enought to fall for it let them! This Womans voting for Obama!

Well according to everyone John McCain and Sarah Palin have won.
My bottom line is America has had eigth years of a Republican. Unemployment at worst level in 8 years. Another Bank closed Sunday and more to come. America Sunday just took over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. America is gigantic mortgage disaster. Gas at all time high!! America has worst debt in whole US history. America is in Iraq War Americans were lied to.
And then there is Alaska and Republican Sarah Palin. She didn’t clean up political corruption. FBI did it all and was started way before she took office. Sarah Palin didn’t start, do any investigation. State did not do. FBI did all and they are still there.
FACT -FBI Alaska Political Corruption
FACT – party responsible for corruption – REPUBLICANS – 11 legislators indicted plus Republican lobbyists + oil administrator + others
FACT – No Democrats
FACT – FBI is still there.
FACT – Republican Sarah did nothing except ride the wave. Alaskans not paying attention which party corrupt. Appears just upset politicians corrupt. Sarah Palin just lucky she can ride wave and get high voter approval without doing anything to clean up. Alaska government has been walking carefully since 2004. Pretty easy with FBI there!! FBI watching.
Go google Alaska Political Corruption – go wikipedia. Read the facts. Research up in Alaska.
Republicans have done enough damage to America. Alaska Republicans were the ones corrupt. Oil Companies heavily involved.
This white woman Republican is voting Obama and Biden.

I just requested my McCain/Palin bumper sticker it is going right neat to my Hillary bumper sticker . Jut got back from Alaska on Vacation they love her even the dems up there.

Overturning Roe v Wade would absolutely be a step backward for women.

I believe that McCain’s campaign chose ABC and Charlie Gibson for her first “outing” is because Charlie Gibson is more credible a “jounalist” than Matthews, Olbermann, Anderson, Brokaw or Williams are! Charlie has always been above the crowd when it comes to real journalism! If Peter Jennings were alive he would be the first to condemn the actions of the mainstream media. However, if Palin does well, her detractors will say she is a liar anyway…can’t win either way!!

Her limited experience and weak education aside, Palin has spoken in her church that “our national leaders are sending (soldiers) out on a task that’s from God”. This type of religious belief has caused untold amounts of suffering in this world, not least of which is radical Islam. Women I know are not “flocking” to Palin. This conservative evangelical does not belong one heartbeat away from Commander in Chief.

“When Congress wanted to give me the money for the Bridge to Nowhere, I said NO THANKS!” But Sarah was the one PUSHING for that money for HER Bridge to Nowhere.
Sarah changed her mind ONLY AFTER it was Aired and Captured by the News Media Across the Country about SARAH’S Bridge to Nowhere being funded by FEDERAL TAXPAYERS DOLLARS, which made a lot of taxpayers like me across the country ANGRY about that Bridge to Nowhere.
Yet Sarah TOOK the money and never returned it.

This is a load of misinformation. Let’s sort it out.
1. Palin did not request the bridge. It was Senator Stevens who attempted to earmark the money. She wasn’t even governor yet.
2. Alaska was going to get the money no matter what. It was part of its transportation grant. Stevens was trying to stipulate that a portion of it had to be spent on the bridge.
3. Obama and Biden voted twice to leave the earmark in place, even when Sen. Coburn attempted to remove it and use the money for Katrina recovery.
4. Once in office, Gov. Palin cancelled the project after she realized that it was going to be too expensive and the state did not have the funds for the project.
5. As a mayor and governor, under the budget process that is in place, it was her job to try to bring federal money to her people.

Who cares if he believes it or not!
IT IS A FACT!! WE are going to protest the DNC and their SELECTED phony, inept in experienced Obama!

How you know McCain is in trouble:
From Experience to Change:
He has moved away from the Experience thing to what he see is the force behind the Obama Movement..
Maybe he should be a Obama Follower..
He seems to like Obama’s ideas, just as Bush has..

It’s the Oprah effect!

Honestly, I am skeptical about this also. I know of no women that are changing their minds about Obama and voting for McCain because of Palin. I am president of a women’s business group, belong to my local Rotary club and have 4 sisters and I can tell you that I have not heard one positive thing about Palin. I suspect that these women were going to vote for McCain anyway.

OPRAH WHO???
PUMA POWER WE ARE DEMS VOTING FOR ANYONE BUT OBAMA!!!

Should women go for Biden, or Obama? Think about their resumes??

I think it’s funny that now the polls are in favor of McCain/Palin the Obama supporters say the polls don’t matter. But month after month all we heard was the polls have Obama in the lead from Obama supporters. On that note, the polls mean nothing, they’re polling just a few hundred to a few thousand people not the whole US. We’ll just have to see how things end up in November. Do remember Kerry was up by what 12% when he lost?

“Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare ‘Mission Accomplished’ a little too soon.”
-Barack Obama
_______________________________________
Time to follow your own advice Obama.

“Obama has more lobbyists support than McCain.”
This is an outright lie.
McCain has taken in more money from lobbyists and lobbying firms at a 4 to 1 ratio vs Obama. McCain has taken in $824K vs $209K for Obama from lobbyists and people who work at lobbying firms.
“Obama received more campaign donations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac employees than McCain.”
Yes he did. Around $100K was Obama’s total.
John McCain received 3 times as much money from the oil and gas industry. He got $1.5M.

“McCain had stated earlier that he would leave it up to the individual states, as he would leave gay marriage up to the individual states”
Having rights in some states but not others was abolished by the 14th amendment.
Also the believing that Republicans in Congress (and the states) who try every year to challenge Roe v Wade via legislation are not going to ban abortion if Roe v Wade is overturned is on par with the delusion that going to Iraq was a good idea.

“[Obama] made a hell of game out of this”

I don’t know anyone who has switched to supporting McCain because of Palin. I think these reports are not truly indicative of the majority but a few extreme cases that are apparently interesting to read about.

“The Obama campaign is falling apart”

Only the religious bound feet, lunatic women will go for the Palin. They should go back to the stone-age where they came from.

Obama has a campaign steamroller machine that surprised Hillary’s supporters. One day, she was up 30%, the next day only 10%. Biden said he would give someone a bloody nose as a kid, and he is ready to fight. Obama still has the massive press favoritism coverage in his favor. Today, Obama even had the press out fundraising for him. Remember prior 3rd world countries’s elections with some countries claiming outside interference in their elections process, well now, courtesy of Obama, the muslim nations are interferring in our election process.

As a working white catholic woman – no way Palin.
No substance, and her words do not align with the whole story. How easy to take credit for outcome when it wasn’t your idea. Pork barrel – Hey Palin – how is that road to nowhere where the bridge would have gone and the hockey rink with 1.7 million of debt, that even Anchorage does not have, raised taxes and what else?
She didn’t swing me, except maybe to other way – actually she got me to sign up to help Obama.

So much for family values. With a down syndrome baby to take care for, why isn’t Palin being a mother to this child, instead of letting her pregnant daughter to care for the child? Seems to me she is putting herself before her children. A good mother puts her children first and before herself.

They recently showed on the evening news about how much embellishment,lies & 1/2 truths about Sarah Palin & her “accomplishments” are. 1)that the airplane jet she sold on e-bay was through/to an airline broker & that they acually LOST $$ on that. 2)that the chef she s’posedly got rid of is now BACK serving the legislature 3)that she was initially FOR the “bridge to nowhere” & other pork-barrel spending when she was mayor 4)that she was able to lower (property) taxes…..but only by increasing the state sales taxes. I’ve also heard (besides “Troopergate”)that she had had an affair w/ her husband’s friend/business partner (which Todd s’posedly disconnected himself from). Also, she is against ANY type of stem cell research (embryo or not). Also, (and this would not s’prise me)is that she was trying to hide her daughter’s pregnancy initially-wanted Bristol to lie about the due date,so that Bristol would’ve been married to baby-daddy BEFORE the convention.Bristol did NOT want to lie,which shows that she may possibly have more character/integrity than her mother does. Boy,those Repubs (& Sarah herself) sure seem to pat her on the back for all her “accomplishments.”

Although I did not believe in the war with Iraq I do have to remember that the war,no matter what the cost, saved millions and millions of people form genocide! Hussein was the author of the killing fields of men, women and children which would have contiued if the United States and her allies fought to end these massacres! To that end, the war was a war necessary evil for the salvation of these people. For those of you who are so anti-war, will you come to the aid of America if Russia decided to attack or would you just surrender? Remember this: THE DAY WE LOSE OUR WILL TO FIGHT IS THE DAY WE LOSE OR FREEDOM!

McCain and Palin have this white woman’s vote!!!!

Obama is right. “This white woman” isn’t going near the GOP’s choice for VP or President. If McCain could change Washington,( as he claims heis going to) he would have already. IF he had any “choice” at all, he’d have picked Lieberman. ( not that I like zLieberman either) but this is the point. McCain bent to the fanatic wing of his failed party who has ruined America and set us back decades on womens rights and has the world laughing at us..Millions showed up in Europe because they “thought” “Maybe Americans aren’t as stupid as we assumed if they’d pick such a man as Obama”..But some idiot voters will “show them”, right??. God help us!! Real women will NOT vote for McCain or Palin…but then if the media would do it’s job and investigate the truth is right there for even a novice reporter or lazy anchor..I miss when the media had integrity and actually did some investigating on people who are supposed to “lead us”.. Media is not always telling the truth. I for one do NOT believe Palin is liked by even a large part of her party. I KNOW some friends who are GOP and they will NOT vote for her or McCain..where are their votes? Media lies all the time, their owners make them, the President makes them, or he has them fired ..We need to regulate media and the Banks again for our own safety. Don’t you people know WE are paying for the fall out of the GOP rape of our treasury in Banking frauds? The polls are wrong, or lies..

Sarah Palin was right, Joe Biden should have asked his nomination by Obama be in writing. Remember he has a penchant of dumping people who he thinks are a baggage to him.

Sarah Palin is the absolutely worst thing that could have happened to the women’s movement. She is a token choice- just like Geraldine Ferraro, if her name had been Samuel instead of Sarah, she never would have been chosen for McCain’s running mate. It’s insulting that she was chosen simply because she was a woman. When the wrong woman is put in to a position of power, and she proves herself to be an airhead, then she hurts all women. Look in to the failed governorship of the pathetic Kathleen Blanco in Louisiana. she was helpless during hurricane Katrina. Hillary, on the other hand, is extremely bright and well educated, and vastly more experienced. Palin is none of these things. She’s a communication journalism type of person, a former beauty queen and local TV personality sportscaster- with no knowledge of history or political science. Lord knows what courses she took in those 5 colleges, or even what kind of grades she made! McCain’s (former GW Bush trainers) can’t just tutor someone like a monkey and expect them to do tricks, especially on a national stage. She will fail miserably, once the public see that there are no brains behind the charm. Why do you think they are sequestering her like no other VP candidate in history. Even Dan Quayle took questions from the press, the day after his convention. You can shield her forever. We will eventually find out just how shallow her knowledge of everything needed to perform the job of President, should McCain meet his maker in the next 8 years.

Obama all the way. He should start odering furniture for white house.

I’m a woman who will vote for McCain now because of Palin. Before Palin I wasn’t planning to vote at all. She has women like me, I’m VERY pro life and conservative, very fired up. Yep, we’re out here, and when we want to be, we’re a force to reckon with.
McCain/Palin 08

Palin is attending the Republican Grooming School – yep, that’s what I believe, because she is so gosh-darn authentic that she is not polished like the presumptious first lady, Cindy McCain, and she also needs to be briefed on McCain and Washington Republican jargon. After Palin graduates from grooming school, she will be appropriately and sufficiently programmed to respond spontaneously to media questions as a Stepford doll.

Go McCAIN/ Go PALIN – Our Country needs you.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. You were voting Mcsame from the start.

Intelligent Women and Men Are Voteing McCain/Palin. They Are The Original Mavricks – The Real Deal. Obama is DESPERATELY trying to hold onto those “typical” white women. SURPRISE!!!!

It seems to me that Palin is George Bush in a dress. Her positions and demeanor are the same, maybe even worse. The same easily fooled people who wanted Bush because they “wanted to have a beer with him” types, now have Palin, the “I’m really just like you”. These are not very bright people. They can’t even see the resemblance, and the rest of us have suffered because of their blindness and laziness to get through the American Idol image and JUST LOOK AT THE FACTS. They don’t like facts. They just want to pretend everything’s OK and after the election start again to whine about our government. You know, the government THEY CHOSE, the one that will continue to screw them over and exploit their religious beliefs. The one that plays them like a fiddle every four years. I, for one, am sick of the Republicans and I’m sick of these mindless folks who have held this country hostage since Ronald Reagan. There’s a reason education is notoriously bad in the South, it’s so the Republicans can win elections. The better educated people in metropolitan places aren’t as easily fooled because they learned “critical thinking” in their schools and make their decisions based on evidence, not fairy tales.

LMAO no one believes your tripe or cares for that matter.

Kill N Drill 2008!
Very intelligent views those two have.

“There’s a reason education is notoriously bad in the South, it’s so the Republicans can win elections.”
Jeanruss
Thank you. That was wonderfully funny. The South is predominantly comprised of Dems, especially on the local level. The Fed gov’t doesn’t run schools – people in the South runs schools…

Hey Soft_LIES maybe you can take a crack at those three questions.

I’m one of those Rual Voters who hang onto my guns and religion. God Bless America – Not “GD america” – No “GD america” bench warmer for 20 years as My President. He couldn’t even Change His Pew!!!! I’m Voteing For A Real Deal Patriotic American Mavrick and his sidekick, Mavrick Jr. McCain’Palin ’08′

Earth to Soft_lies where have you been the past week? Shes been attacked from day one. First by the big bad MSM reporting what she put out then right after the RNC the Dems. Please remove your head from your rear. You might be able to see and hear what’s really going on.

”
Obama slips in the polls, so it is now time to ATTACK Palin.
Aren’t these the tactics that Obama supporters decried when the Clinton’s used this play book?
Come on Dems, at least make an attempt to minimize your hypocrisy.
Palin rocks. She is likable, funny, smart and experienced. That is why you so desperately want to take her down.
Sad.
”
I agree. Who is Obama to criticize Palin (someone in the opposing political party) when he complained that Hillary (someone in Obama’s party) smeared him? What sort of a person would assume that a battle between two individuals who ultimately share similar goals is in any way different from a battle between two individuals in opposing parties? I can’t see the difference.
I also find it appalling and odd that people would attack a woman who is intelligent and experienced. Who are these people to question whether or not that she has these two qualities? Sad, really.

“I also find it appalling and odd that people would attack a woman who is intelligent and experienced. Who are these people to question whether or not that she has these two qualities? Sad, really.”
I agree with your fascist mind set. How dare an American citizen question a presidential vp candidate.

Far as I can tell, both parties are full of nuts. The election is not over until Nov. 5. Who knows what will happen between now and then? Will America vote for for change or remain the same with McCain and Palin? Palin not really an issue, just another bump in the road for Obama. Adversity builds character. I believe that Americans are too smart and too tired to fall for this new spin of the GOP. Open the booths on Nov 4 and come out voting!!!

Has anybody heard about Gov. Palin’s speech to a High School in Alaska? She asked the students to pray for the Iraq war. She Said, “This is God’s war”. So tell me people what is the difference between her and fanatic Muslims? I matter of geographic location. Don’t care if she is a woman or not, even if it was a man, still it would be “religious insanity”. And when she mentioned that there for the parents of children with special needs. Why nobody has thought to question why as a Mayor or Governor has never done anything for them in Alaska. After all, all she did was to sign on a bill worked out and presented by another Republican, nor her ideas or thoughts and in a very reduced scale. Wake up America she is just another corrupt old school politician dressed in wolf’s young skin. But still a wolf, an insincere, name calling and cynical liar.
Why are people so afraid to see things as they are? McCain has not put out a single idea in how to fix the mess Bush is leaving us it in; he is the worst president we ever had, while Obama has already put out a comprehensive plan for our woes.
Bush, Cheney and his cohorts in crime should be impeached and sent to Belgium to stand trial for their work crimes based on greed and moral corruption. This government is sickening, and I cannot wait to put out my American flag in the front yard when Obama becomes our President. He will be an outstanding President. DP

Obama, DENIAL is a talent you have acquired and it is a brave attempt on your part… the fact remains we are swarming around SARAH PALIN, and JOHN MCCAIN for showing the confidence and respect for women, that she has experience and dedication to her country is a given… her record stands for itself! What does your record show us?

Close race equals better ratings. The MSM claimed the same thing when Hillary was in the race and she actually lost way back in February. Look at the electoral map. Obama is fine!

Maybe I could rival Sarah Palin in the pitbull category. I smell fear – fear among the McCain/Palin supporters. Fear of change. They will vote for the devil they know – the ones they think are “just like them,” than take a chance on real change. Think you can run the country and get us out of the mess of the last eight years? Then vote for someone “just like” you. Of course, Trickle Down Economics has worked so well for Middle America, and there are WMDs in Iraq.

Here’s what happened folks: After being spit on by my (former) party, the Clinton’s generously offered their support of Obama. They said all the things that the DNC said they should say. But their words did not obscure the truth: Obama cannot win without Clinton. This is not Clinton’s fault. This is not my fault. Many of her supporters will go with McCain because he is not GWB II–he is rejecting him and talking about putting dems and republicans in his cabinet. He will win over many undecided voters and the “disaffected” Clinton supporters. Don’t tell me that I have to vote for Obama because I am a registered Dem–I would not vote for any candidate who was so underhanded and arrogant towards the Clinton supporters (oh, gee, only 50% of the party). Let’s say only 10% vote for McCain–there goes your election Obama. One false, STUPID move, and this election is over. Ask yourself now, should Obama have asked Clinton to be is VP? Isn’t that what Democrats wanted because we really did want to win the White House (even though Michelle doesn’t like Hillary). It’s not that Obama doesn’t love his country, it’s that he just didn’t get it. A vote for Obama is a vote for sexism since nobody can explain why Biden was the more qualified VP pick. Thanks Obama and the DNC for handling the White House to the Republicans with your extreme arrogance. Newsflash Obama: Yes, we women voters matter and you will see how much your stupidity cost you in Nov (statistics of how many women crossed over to the Republicans or just stayed home out of disgust). A self-respecting woman cannot vote for a man who talks about women’s equality and then slams one of the greatest leaders of this country by sending her back to the Senate and choosing good old white, D.C.-entrenched insider Biden. Hypocrite. When the history (or shall we say “herstory”) of the 2008 election is written, it should be called: Obama: the man who could not share the spoltlight with her pantsuits. Fool.

I agree. No women I know is that stupid.

I think its funny that most of the things that are said about Palin by the republican supporters on here are the same exact things the McCain press has put out hahaha get original. Zombies. Mindless GWB Zombies. Does anyone know who Palin was and have any information about her BEFORE you read the presser by the Republican Party NO!! hahahaha Bunch of robots. I remember listening to Obama speak at the 04 Democratic Convention and knew he could be president now. What was Palin doing in 04? Breast feeding a pitbull with lipstick while hunting for moose burgers. Most of you Republicans are just sad that the Fleecing fo American is coming to an end and your corrupt little game at the expense of middle and low income families are coming to an end.

If Gov. Palin is MIA to answear questions from reporters and the public for all these days, then how long may she need to answear real situation issues as VP OR may be President.
That should be more than enough proof that she is not qualified.

I have switched from Obama to McCain because of Palin and the news media bias. For years I have heard of it and now I know for sure. If the media wants obama so badly, there must be something wrong. I lked the idea of a fresh start but these tatics adn the anger and rage in Obamas eyes make me nervous. He comes off as smug and arrogant and I just can’t endorse him any longer.

Who votes in these so called Polls? Employees of TV Networks, private coporations.What would give the Media the impression, that Americans are moved by staged polls?

TO the McCain/Palin Voters,how we forget..Personalities vs Issues.. Sounds like Bush vs Kerry. And remember the outcome? So who’s gonna fix the economy, McCain and Palin’s personalities????

Obama is in one his 57 states campaigning when he made this statement ~ yea STATE(S) of DENIAL

Obama is right. Female voters aren’t flocking to the McCain-Palin ticket. It is white-males who are behind the shift in the polls. White males seem to support the GOP VP choice more than white women voters. But then, this story is like most in the media nowdays: A twist of the reality when it does not favor Obama’s campaign.

I keep reading about Obama asking Clinton to be VP. She was the one who said that she would never be VP to him. So if you’re voting for McCain/Palin just because Hillary is not running for VP, then you are just stupid and in for more of the same. As for white women in this country, I too am a working (white) mother who would never vote for Palin. She believes in everything that I don’t. White women, WAKE UP!!!!!!

If the Repubs are going to take the change from us we should take the fear from them.
I am scared to death of four more years.

Did she not say “The difference between a hockey mom and pittbulls is lipstick?
She called them pittbulls…why can’t they call her pig? She drew first blood and girlfriend…you’re in the big league with the big boys! Your little town mentally ain’t workin!
Women of America…WAKE UP! We are smarter than this. Let’s focus on the real issue. There are people dying, losing their jobs & homeless from this hurricane and you are worried about lipstick on a pig?

Facts are so damn sexist!!! Facts are so damn unPatriotic to criticise McCain.
Facts should be ashamed of themselves for criticising a former:
(Pick One) __ POW
__ Hockey Mom
Facts are too damn liberal.

Whoever came up with the idea of playing the Hillary women deserves a medal, both for keeping the white house and giving us such comedy. I for one never would have thought it would work because while they are hideous to look at, I’d thought they were smart. I’ve taken to reading their blogs every day just for the freak show.I also think Johnny mac deserves a medal, for striking a blow for all men who want to pick women by our criteria, Just as Cindy reaches her sell-by date the old fox scores the highly decorative Sarah. Cigars in the oval office?/

I cannot understand these liberals who accept every promise that Obama makes as written in gold. Have you not ever been through a presidential campaign. Do you not know that promises are a dime a dozen but very few of those promises ever come to fruition, Were you born yesterday. The fact that you support taxing income over 250 grand is nice but Obama is unlikely to ever do such a thing. Every member of congress makes that kind of dough and michelle Barry certainly exceed that amount. You can’t vote based on promises, but rather you need to find someone of character and trust them to do the right thing. I mean, how sickening is it to watch Obama say he supports charter schools. We all know he would and could never abandon his ties to the teacher’s unions and that’s where his real support comes from. I believe that Liberals are generally better educated than their counterparts. So how can the liberals believe promises made during a political campaign. The first thing people from outside this country notices about our system of politics is that anything said during a campaign is fantasy and all americans accept that after the election is over.

Frank,
What I dont get is robots like you that vote against their best interests. I for one did not see anyone that looked like me at the RNC or any real issues that affect me discussed there. McCain has nothing except he was a poor POW. Just take one look at AZ and you can see why he’s not worthy of being POTUS.

What had Obama done for Illinois? First term Senator had spent most of his term campaigning. He would not even help our Futuregen project to produce new energy, thousands of jobs for Central Illinois. LOST

I keep trying to find what Obama has done for Chicago and am still coming up empty.
What are his achievments as a Senator for a very large troubled state? Outside of voting “present” all the time?
One of these news mediums should be able to compile that for the voters instead of all this pig and lipstick bashing.

“I don’t understand why ANY of Hillary Clinton’s supporters would consider Palin – she doesn’t match up on the issues that Clinton holds dear.”
We are voting for McCain, who has promised to put both Dems and Repubs in his cabinet. Obama lost me on his “change” message when he picked Biden as VP over Hillary. I can’t support that choice and its sexist message.

I never liked either JM or BO and I am a 48 YO white woman. I didn’t vote for either one in the primary. I, like lots of others I know didn’t vote. This was the first year that I remember not doing that and I’ve voted for over 20 years.
Sarah Palin will be the first woman Vice President/president and it will be my great joy to vote for her. It’s time for a change, and this is her.
We will have a black President someday when he is nominated, but right now BO is just too lib and too naive about running this country.
Now, Sarah Palin is a PROVEN leader, look what she has done for Alaska and they love her, she has a 80% approval rating! The highest in the whole USA. She will be an asset to John McCain as they battle DC together. Palin shook up her own party in Alaska and I believe she will do the same in Washington regardless of politics or party.
Our President has a 30% approval rating and if anything could be worse, it would be the congress at 9% approval rating and don’t forget Obama and Biden are part of THAT!

I voted for Huckabee in the primary. Going to vote for Mccain in the general. I don’t trust Barack Obama or his associates and reading through these posts just confirms it.

I laugh when people say that they are independents and are now voting for Palin. Now that’s a Joke.
What about the enviroment? What about the War?

It is crystal clear that OBAMA fanatics aim at silencing peoples and do not respect the freedom of speech and the principles of democracy.
These activists are extremists and dangerous.
They aim to idolize a human who is frequently at fault. The party is biased and is afraid to have voices of people heard and votes of poeple count.

Did anybody ever think maybe Obama asked Hillary to be on his ballot but she declined, be serious, Hillary is strong willed and its either her way or no way( I love her for that) she will most likely serve on the U.S Supreme Court one day. Please I am a 20 year old female this will the first election I will be voting in, I truly believe that Obama is a better candidate, Yes McCain has Palin, but look at the issues, Palin is a female but she still believe in the same policies as do McCain, just because she is a female does not mean she bring a softer/nurturing side to the table,( on a side note people have gotten to Obama’s supporters for talking about palin’s family but since when has it become ok for a 17 year old to become pregnant, our society has come to tolerated to much mediocrity from its young adults and as a young adult I am completely appalled) I know it is difficult for a majority of this country to see a black become president but we must put that behind us and focus on the issues, health care, taxes, energy crises and the war AND REMEMEBER THE ISSUES DOES NOT INCLUDE WHO CAN MAKE HISTORY AND IN WHAT WAY. The Republicans I tell you are smart and placing a distracter , I mean no offense PEOPLE we need to wake up, they place a female VP in front of us and we forget the issues, we forget the war that our love are in , being deploy time after time and some of whom we have lost, we forget that the senator /house of representative, Governors ,,ct. .. we vote to represent us have better health coverage then we do and we are the one paying for it with our tax money, we forget that it use to cost $1.50 per gallon to fill our gas tank and now it cost us in some areas $4.50, let us not forget what we are here to do. Let’s not forget the jobs that we have lost, the immigrants are not really who we are losing jobs to it’s the company we ship overseas because labor is cheaper WE ARE NOT HERE TO MAKE HISTORY AS WE MAKE HISTORY EVERYDAY THAT PASSES WE ARE HERE TO MAKE A CHANGE, A CHANGE THAT SAYS WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND WE ARE TAKING THIS INTO OUR OWN HANDS. Please people be informed on the issues, SARHAH PALIN TRIED TO PUT A CENCORSHIP ON LIBRARY BOOKS but proposed the construction of a municipal sports center to be financed by a 0.5% sales tax increase. In 2002, term limits prevented Palin from running for a third term as mayor. During her six years as mayor, general government expenditures increased by more than 33 percent while the amount of taxes collected by the city increased by 38 percent. The city’s debt went from nothing to $22 million, of which $15 million is attributed to the sports complex and $5.5 million attributed to municipal bonds to finance road projects. I want everybody to think about this. Yes she can make changes but what kind of changes are we advocating…an increase in debt. LOOK AT THE FACTS PLEASE I BEG YOU.

We are tired of being manipulated by Roe v Wade. When will women wake up and realize both parties have been using this as a way to control our vote. For that reason it will never be repealed.
If we really want to promote womens rights we need to support all women. Sarah Palin has not forced her religious beliefs on anyone. Obama, however has exhibited sexism throughout his campaign. As a Hillary Clinton volunteer, I was horrified by what I saw the Obama campaign and democrats do to her. I will not stand by and allow the same thing to happen to another woman. As Hillary stated; womens rights are human rights. Without human rights, there is no true democracy, and therefore empowering women trumps any political platform, right or left. We need to put aside our political beliefs this election and work to get a woman in office in order to promote ALL women’s issues. Only then will women attain equality and true democracy be possible.

I find Robin R’s comments supporting Palin based on Women’s rights being about human rights when McCain supports torture a shining example of the cognitive dissonance out there among women voting McCain, who btw is on the top of the ticket. Where has McCain/Palin moved in any way towards chapioning a position on human rights besides his flip-flop on abortion? What you are seeing in the polls are Women for Bush who claimed to be undecided until Lady Madonna took the stage. Where are these numbers indicating Hillary voters moving to McPiggin?

Et.. tu Brutus!!
Biden has been strangly silent over all this Palin hype. I just read a recent report that Biden indicated that Palin is a personal friend and a wonderful person (!!!).. and she was even a better pick than him (!!). ((Had a bad feeling about Biden when he said.. finally.. a ‘clean looking’ black ,etc. etc.). Talk about the Reb shrwedness- they probably chose Palin, knowing Biden’s softness for her- so it would be an easy-win.
Oh.. so this it then? Friends with everyone – so no one can go aginst her and play fair? Palin reminds me of the “popular person” in the corp world. She’s sooooooooo nice (that’s her trademark)… that you pick her on your team to do the job- not because she’s the best because you like her. The boss gives her the promotions not because she had the highest turn-out sales or is particulary brilliant– but because everyone he and everyone likes her!
I’ve seen people getting promotions and winning over their enemeies by pure friendship– and frankly, it works. Via your smiles, get people to view mountains of your molehill projects– then nurse the people who worked overtime back to health with your smiles and baked-cookies.

Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country.
McCain and Palin are true examples of courage: Without a shadow of a doubt, McCain gave to his country true courage; and Palin supports her family members who do so as well. Palin lives by her principles- raising 5 children, including- yes- the 5th!
If the Status Quo is Courage, Honor and Integrity, then let it rule and shine!
