The Ghost of RubangB said: Hey Obama got famous with his keynote speech in 2004, so at least we all knew who he was for 4 years.
Obama and McCain are both running on the Washington outsider angle, as aisle-crossers who want to clean up the mess. However, one's been in the mess since before many voters were born.
Personally, I don't give a shit about the experience arguments either way. That was McCain's argument, and he destroyed it himself with the Palin pick. My backlash against Palin's experience is more about laughing at McCain than anything. |

I'm going to be as polite as I can be here, from what I have seen with your posts recently you're the CrazzyMan of the Democratic party. It doesn't matter what the Repbulicans do or say (or who they have as a candidate) you're going to be opposed to it, and it doesn't matter what the Democrats do or say (or who they have as a candidate) you're going to support it.

No offense taken. Being compared to CrazzyMan in any way is a huge honor. However, it wasn't the Democratic Party that led me to Obama, it was my left-libertarian beliefs. I voted for Kucinich in 2004 and wanted to again (he's the only Democrat in the same quadrant of the political spectrum as me), and without him, I'm voting based on universal health care, fewer tax breaks for big businesses and the super-wealthy, and a supposed foreign policy that will hopefully talk to more countries and use more diplomacy than force.
But can you paint a hypothetical scenario in which Palin gets out of this with any chance of a career?
She either got on a plane while in labor (like she said), making her a horrible negligent mother and basically insane, or she's lying to cover up her daughter's baby.
If you believe what she says, then she's a horrible negligent mother. How can she be telling the truth and not be a horrible negligent mother at the same time?
She's yelling out "Hey everybody I got a plane while in labor, I am a horrible negligent mother!"
I hope she's lying, because I think the lie is just barely bad (but stupid), and for the good cause of trying to protect her daughter. But if she's telling the truth, I think she's evil and nutty. And so do many doctors and women who've had kids.
