He should have chosen Romney or Giuliani. She's a good political but not very...intellectually gifted.

Assuming there aren't major voting machine gaffes, a pronounced Bradley factor, or any other surprise X factors, I think red may de dead.

Just like the Dems had to do after Reagan. And, they will adapt.

Nope, I don't gamble...I don't even buy lottery tickets. The bird in the hand is worth the two in the bush.

I'd like to put my bird into her bush

As for her popularity, I guess the polls say she's slipping, but then everywhere she goes there's record turnout. She visited a smallish town close to here not long ago, they expected and planed for 10k and almost 20k showed up. They had to turn people away.

She is strong with the "base" and I have no doubt she will always be strong with them. They absolutely ADORE her.

The problem is that once she goes beyond the base, people actually want substance. And, there she is lacking.

I think that the economy has hurt McCain more than she.

But, she is a gauge people are using in evaluating McCain's judgment and there she is hurting him and badly. Several republicans and normally republican leaning newspapers have cited her specifically in turning their support to Obama.

Almost 60% of Americans find her unqualified in the latest poll. That's astounding.

<<Clicky>>



I still believe that if he had chosen Crist from FL that would have pleased the base and made FL impossible for Obama.

I wouldn't put too much faith in polls...the map is not the territory, and you can skew polls six ways from Sunday to encourage the result you're looking for. The only poll that actaully matters is the election.

Plus, people who take part in these polls are dipshits anyway...they give their time and information for free, which the pollsters then collate and turn into a product which they sell to the news outlets for profit and/or as a means of advertising their company name so that they get hired to conduct other polls in the future. Next time you get accosted by some clipboard-wielding zealot or telepollster, just reply 'Sure, how much are you paying?' and suddenly they aren't that interested in your opinion after all. Bizarre.

Yep...tell me, do you actually know anything about polls and polling? You do realise that most polls are in fact commissioned by news outlets, yes? Of course, none of these news outlets have a particular political slant or anything, they're all 100% neutral, and they don't have any angle that they are trying to advance that a corroborating poll result would seem to enforce. No sir. They are 100% unbiased and unslanted, just like there are huge stockpiles of WMDs in Iraq.

It's quite easy to target various demographics/areas where you know you're going to get the result you're looking for. In an area that attracts a lot of African-Americans in the 18-30 age bracket, how many do you seriously think are going to be voting for McCain, or even just say that they will be voting McCain? Very few, I would wager.

Of course, you are also demonstrating a huge degree of good faith, bordering on naivete, when you accept that the people polled are 1) Actually registered to vote 2) Will actually bother to go out and vote 3) Will actually vote the way they said they would. Do the pollsters ask to see proof of voter registration? No...they just blindly trust that the person is going to do what they say, or is indeed even capable of doing it. As I have pointed out in another thread, what people say they are going to do and what actually ends up happening are two very different things. I still stand by my contention that polls are ultimately meaningless, and the election itself is the only one that carries any weight.

Oh, by the way, best to lay off questioning the intelligence of others until you master things like capital letters and punctuation, yeah?

Her initial appeal was all hype, but that's gone now.

Sorry. Personally I can't stand the moron, but she's VERY POPULAR. She's getting bigger crowds than McCain.

For years the conservatives braintrust at the top have labeled the highly educated and the media as the enemy. Palin is the result. A Conservative candidate who is unabashedly anti-science, anti-learning, anti-intellectual.

In this brave new world, slogans and name-calling beat books, faith outranks facts, science is worthless and big words are evil, scary and the tools of the "elite".



So this is what the "base" wants. A populist goober who talks, thinks and acts like they do.

Here she is!!!

All dressed up in 150k of clothes!!


She's the new leader of the Republican Rump: rural, white, "Christian" morons.



And, as a consumer of porn, you should know that there are LOTS of them.

I thought this thread said 'There is a plus size to Palin.'

Yeah, me too. It made me think about fat chicks. On a better note, it's nice to finally find out who Bradley the airport dude is. I always wondered.

Anyways, Palin seems like an asshole. That's right, not a bitch but an asshole. She almost makes me ashamed to be a hockey fan and a mom.

on Palin.
