Besides taking yet another cheap shot, you’ve ignored the fact that Obama has also been vetted for the last year and a half, including a couple dozen debates and hundreds of press conferences and interviews, making him far and away more known to the voting public.

But of course that means nothing to you, because you are right and will always be right. And I don’t mean you are correct, but I don’t expect you’d understand that, since you couldn’t even tell the difference between “him” and “her”.

AMEN!

“Some of his quotes that border on sounding socialist give me pause.”

My guess, from reading your posts, is that you are probably more along the lines of a social liberal with fiscal conservative leanings. You probably find yourself aligned more with the middle but leaning strongly left. Just a guess. You would probably find that if you sat down with Kaiser and had a beer, you would agree on more than you disagree.

Again, I don’t know you, I’m just guessing.

Y’all are determined and original. Funny stuff. Thanks.

Oh wait, given her experience, maybe there is very little to know?

Not sure if I have the stuff, but thanks for the job tip RSE.

My guess is that Senator McCain was not a popular choice among the conservative denizens of this site, I just find “blind faith” a little beyond people who are interested enough in the political process to blog about it.

I’m glad to be open about my misgivings about Obama.

I do have some concerns about his experience.

I think he is a gifted public speaker, but I think he’s going to have his hands full with McCain in the debates because of their styles.

Some of his quotes that border on sounding socialist give me pause.

That said, I think this country has a lot of problems, and he is a pretty smart guy who will come at the job with a different approach than the current administration.

Everyone (R) knows (O) that (N) ONLY (P) Libertarians (A) are (U) truly (L) open (!) minded.

Anyway, fun debates as always.

Looks like you have no takers for your hidden Sarah observations. It must get lonely being you. Have you considered work as a Maytag repairman?

Whodat believes that there is a nitch for everybody

She has too many things to do than worry about pleasing a bunch of whiny journalists. Maybe they should go after Biden; poor guy isn’t getting much air time.

Too funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Regarding Palin, the strategy and conflicts behind her appearences, my fears, the comparison with Obama and the like there would be much to say. If you wish we can exchange this another time, though it would cost me some time to point out my view, it would be pretty long, it would require the will to have a real discussion and, so I suspect, everything is already said, we just have to recap the different blogs, paper contributions etc. Finally it’s all about how we sort the information to confirm the views we already have/had in advance.

It’s a pitty that our exchange about Obamas appearence in Berlin disappeared, but at least I hope you noticed my last reply.
Warm regards

Alaina loves to watch the wheels come off liberal wagons too…

“She shares your views with key issues, that doesn’t make her prepared to be Vice President, let along President.”

No more than Obama is qualified in my eyes for the same job. That’s been my point for the last 6+ months. Glad you see the light.

In fact, that’s why the media hates her – because she’s his story, and she is stealing the thunder the MSM crafted for him. They’ve been upstaged, hoodwinked, outmanueverd, and it enrages them. SlowJoe has been all but forgotten and ignored in this process, and yet he’s had less press events (at least ones anyone will cover), more gaffes (in spades!), and more leniency by the media compared to her. And you wonder IF the media is biased? That’s like saying the New York Yankees have won a few games over the years. Massive understatement…

Over the next 40 days I hope McCain will choose to keep Palin away from the Palin-hating media and Obama will continue to allow Biden to continue to entertain us with his gaffs.

All they had to do was to throw her into the arena for a short moment in a very controlled setting. That was enough to establish the projection screen for conservatives dreams. What they now have to do is to hide her from the spotlights.

As you can see the brainwashed crowd is willing to sort any kind of information around to make the ideal fit. It’s all about emotions and culture. It is against any sort of rationality and given the stakes in play it is dangerous for all of us. It reminds one of Orwell’s 1984 but in the end they probably will win.

If it was not so sad and dangerous one would like to laugh.

But, you are right; Sarah has logged moe one-on-one interview time than SlowJoe..

Whodat always loves to watch the wheels come off liberal wagons…

The “stand up to Iran and North Korea” point is just the reason why I’m afraid of your man Obama. While the economy may be most people’s #1 issue, national security remains mine. He has certainly come across as the type that isn’t going to “stand up” to these threats. He wants to have tea and cookies with them instead. I’d take a legitimate estrogen-filled woman (Hillary doesn’t qualify since she’s just a man-wannabe) over Mr. Tea-and-Cookies because, as most of you married men know, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I do have one question though, when has Biden held a press conference? Maybe he did and it just wasn’t covered?

Trying to shore up the women vote by attacking another woman won’t work. He has already lost those votes because they were all about having a woman on the ticket more than they were about abortion which is the only real wedge issue they might care about. Most of those women are soccer moms that decided to have children and probably wouldn’t personally choose to have an abortion, yet believe their sisters should have the right to choose. He’s not getting those voters back unless he puts a woman on the ticket…but even then, a woman scorned…?

He won’t get anywhere on the experience issue because it backfires on him. He won’t get traction with corruption issues because no one cares and everyone believes all politicians are inherently corrupt. What has he got left? Pointing out she likes guns and the Bible? Wow, that should win him votes.

All McCain has to do is keep her out of an uncontrolled spotlight and they win. McCain can keep trotting Palin around the USA filling stadiums to their hearts content. She’s a winner in that arena.

Barack is running a campaign against the intangible ideal that Palin represents, instead of just Sarah Palin. You can’t win against an ideal because it has more to do with feelings and emotion than it does reality. She’s pretty, has a great husband, came from the small town to take on the establishment and won. Now she’s headed to Washington to clean house and don’t ya just love her? How is Barack going to beat that head to head? The more he focuses on her, the more the ideal she represents cements itself in the voter’s mind. Unless she comes out and does something real and stupid, she remains the superwoman of conservatives’ dreams…

I’m a Libertarian Conservative and I like her too. She makes me feel all warm inside. I might even consider voting for McC…damnit, you see what I mean…?

McCain: 1, Barack: 0 -
Palin: 1 divided by Zero

Whodat, like McCain, believes in “Counry First”. But, beer and golf are tied for 2nd…

SP is just memorizing the playbook and preparing to call the offense. In case you forgot, she’s got a highly public date with an old comb-over that could be defining her as either a new star on the screen or a disaster. I’d rather she memorize the playbook now and hold babies later.
