RonL21 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Don't you think that one omnibus thread is simpler than 20 different topics about various issues of this election 2008? Yes? No? I was wondering myself would the actual election have its own thread that would take the place of this one like a week before Election Day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Seeing people at the RNC with environmental signs, ones about the country being green is just strange. By the way, has there been any statement regarding the fact that even if McCain wins he's stuck with a Democratic majority in both houses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 The first part of Romney's speech made me long for a sniper wanted caption. I liked the second half, though like Hillary, it was basically a 2012 advertisement. Yes! HUCKABEE TIME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 The CNN guys laughing at the speeches is great. I loved Huckabee's speech, even if he was a bit off in his vote count. Wikipedia says Palin got 909 votes in the 1999 election. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Sorry to say, but the whining all day from the conservatives has made Palin off limits now. The press didn't break the pregnant daughter story, the McCain campaign did. But they can get away with blaming the press for it, and that gives her enough sympathy to innoculate her against legitimate concerns about her experience and truthfulness about her own record. I find it absolutely brain-dead on the press's part to be made to look guilty for repeating a true story about her daughter because families are off limits, but totally fall for it when candidates try to use their kids to win votes.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Sorry to say, but the whining all day from the conservatives has made Palin off limits now. Palin has been picked raw, they seem to be trying to get the media to keep picking at it. They seem to be gambling that if they keep it up, the GOP can get people to believe The Big Lie about the media and gain sympathy votes. They are trying to re-frame the election into a referendum on the media, because they've been making it a referendum on Obama thus far and that's been causing them to lose. On the other hand, there's enough chance that if you goad the media they'll actually do their jobs and report on things like how she left Wasilla $20 million in debt. That the McCain proxy went nuclear about a National Enquirer story caused some to believe the campaign is making bad stories about her to complain about the press.
