The reason that Palin had to switch schools several times was due to finances. Not because she was failing. That is the same reason that she did the beauty pagent stuff. My point about Obama's intelligence was not a bash, I was making the point that the reason people see he is "smarter" than say Bush is his speaking skills. I am sure Palin is not as smart as Obama. He is a smart man from what I can tell. I was just reffering to perception. Let me take you back 3-4 weeks ago. People were saying the same thing about Palin, saying she'd flop at the convention. I remember people saying the same thing. "She is going to melt on the national stage.. blah, blah, blah...."

Admit it, you and most of the leftist were hoping she would bomb the convention speech, and she did not. So you are just giddy at the CC interview, she finally messed up, you finally have something. I am not saying she will do very well tomorrow in the debate (I think she might), but I am sure gonna my ass off at the people who drove the CC interview into the ground. Talk about your ultimate backfire... more people are watching most likely because they wanna see how bad she will do, and if she knocks it out of the part no one is going to care about the CC interview. The non-biased people will shrug it off as she was having a bad day.

You see one thing you guys don't seem to get, is that unlike you. Most Americans WANT to like her, they want her to do well, because they want to believe in her. If she flops, they will not be happy like you (reffering to liberals) they will be sad and letdown. I personally will feel letdown. I am not completly biased and if she does really bad (if she holds her own I will give her some room, she is new at this, and Biden is a pro) I will spend the next 30 days praying Obama is not as bad as I see him as... I will not vote for him, but I will not vote for M/P either.

Btw- I do vote for democrats, I just agree with less of them so I tend to group them in a pile together. Example, I am voting for a Democrat for Mayor, and for Senate. Every other office I am voting republican.

Going to five community colleges = going to Harvard AND being editor-in-cheif of Harvard law-review CONFIRMED!

Why did you go to Harvard bigjon if that kind of education was so easy to get?

And public perception of Palin has changed.  They were talking about it on NPR earlier today (10-1-08):

New Poll Looks At Election, Palin, Bailout

The Pew poll also cites increasingly negative opinions about McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, for Obama's lead.

Rudin notes that while Palin had once been a boost on the GOP ticket, she seems to have become a drag.

According to the Pew poll, 51 percent of those polled say Palin is not qualified to be president. Just before the GOP convention last month, 52 percent said she was qualified.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
