Fuuuuck.

So, anyways, is Jow the Plumber still planning on running for Congress, or did everyone realize his 15 minutes of fame were over and forget him finally?

the news articles just makes me think they(mccain's team) constantly hired and fired retarded aides and advisors.

I basically agree with Troy, Sweetbee, and Spencer. I didn't dislike McCain but the world needs change and it's not the time for another rich white male president who's right in line with Bush's policies, so I voted for the candidate I felt we needed the most. Sarah Palin didn't help matters either.

I don't really like McCain, but I also don't have anything against him. Palin, I couldn't stand and the more I learned about her the more I hated her, like this not knowing Africa was a country, or not knowing the three countries in NAFTA (what are the choices?).

The $150,000 clothes thing keeps getting worse, too.

But, anyway, about Africa being a country, I don't know what to think about that. On the one hand, there's no live video of her saying that, and I have a hard time thinking anyone would believe that. On the other hand, if anyone would, maybe it would be Sarah Palin.

It's probably just mean to keep going at this point, but...

Even the reliably conservative Fox News channel may be turning against Governor Palin, however, being the first this week to report the consternation experienced by the McCain team on discovering that the governor really did think Africa was a country. Allegedly she also could not name the three countries of the North American Free Trade Agreement. They would be Canada, the US and Mexico.

Wow.

I don't think there's any doubt in my mind at all right now that we made the best choice for this country.

Palin might well be a goof off, but I think McCain and Obama appeared on SNL lately, too (though I didn't see them).

Sarah Palin was too much of a goof-off. in a past election it may have actually helped mcCain win, but now we've got serious crises going on in the econonmy and world politics and she's making jokes about lipstick and appearing in unflattering sketches on SNL.

It's a case of a stopped clock being right twice a day. If you just guessed, Would a VP choice help or hurt a candidate?, you have a 50% chance of being right. If you don't elaborate, then what you said is meaningless. You might as well have flipped a coin. And when he was pushed to elaborate, one reason he said people wouldn't like her is because she's anti-gay. However, anti-gay state issues have passed overwhelmingly, even in blue states like California.

He wasn't right that McCain was purposefully throwing the election by choosing Palin. The problem with her choice is that she only appealed to people who were already going to vote for him anyway.

That's the first ad I've seen that told me participation was required. If you don't pick one, the ad jumps out of your monitor and kills you.

Just think, if Psycho Penguin had been able to predict or argue something of substance that actually changed Palin's approval rating, like her disastrous performance with Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric, he'd be viewed as amazingly prescient instead of a one-liner spouting nusance.

I just saw a new attack ad they're running against Obama. It starts, "Would you fly with a pilot who never flew?" Isn't that kind of a bold hand they're playing there? I mean, didn't McCain crash like six planes?

Sarah Palin

I don't know anything about her yet, politically, but picking a young female running mate is an interesting strategy move.
