Campaigns Begin Dash To Election

New York Times:

Fresh off back-to-back conventions, the two presidential campaigns took off Friday on a 60-day dash to the White House in a political landscape reshaped by the candidacy of Gov. Sarah Palin and Republican efforts to seize the mantle of change.

The race, transformed by zeal among the Republican base for Senator John McCain's running mate, got a burst of new life at the same time that television viewership numbers showed that nearly 40 million people, a record for an American political convention, tuned to the major broadcast and cable-news networks to watch Mr. McCain's acceptance speech in St. Paul on Thursday night. That was a bit more than those who watched Senator Barack Obama's speech in Denver last week.

McSame caved to the religious rightwingers in selecting this foul mouthed woman, he will also cave to K Street which already runs his campaign. McSame is not different than Dubya.

[kasinca]

When will McSame take credit for all the Bush policies he voted for? If McSame is the answer, it was a stupid ass question because he has voted with W 90% of the time. McSame is no different than GWB, the worst president ever.

There hope for Sarah Palin. After she loses the election, she can always join the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Why does the McCain camp think that Sarah is ready to be VP, but not ready to sit down with Larry King?

We cannot solve problems by using the same
kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Obama will save my family $2,000 in taxes.

That is the kind of change I can believe in.

[mbh78213]

"Change" in more ways than one. Cha-ching!

[beaupritchard]

McCain is already drawing up plans to give Palin her own little whitehouse in the back when he gets in.

[VolvoBirkenstock]

Complete with swing

Due to fear of the election for POTUS being stolen by the GOP - AGAIN - I will be photographing my ballot after filling it out, and at each intermittent step, to prove I am casting my ballot for Obama / Biden.

I encourage you all to do the same.

[repubstheirownworstenemy]

Ofergawdsake stop it.

[RatgurlSD]

Okay, then how do YOU propose to keep the GOP from stealing the election? At least I'm throwing an idea out there instead of just b1tching on the blogs.

Other suggestions are welcome.

[RatgurlSD]

At least I'm offering a suggestion instead of hiding behind the blogs & b1tching. Your suggestions are welcome, too.

[breakingnews]

If you post this one more time, I will come through the intertubes and smack the cr@p out of you!!

[RatgurlSD]

Promise??? ;)

[RatgurlSD]

All talk.

[lovethesinner]

I think somebody hacked that slide show.

When I cycled through the pictures the first time, I got to the end thinking if I kept hitting the forward button it would take me back to the beginning, but it sent me instead to a right wing PALIN PROPAGANDA piece by Elisabeth Bumiller and Jeff Zeleny from yesterdays NYTimes.

Here's the PROPAGANDA from the end of the piece:

“She’s me,” said the woman, Tana Krueger, 58, a Republican from Fond du Lac, Wis., who is a mother of six.

Ms. Krueger, a risk manager at a state hospital, said that she might not have come out to see Mr. McCain on his own and that while she might have voted for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had Mrs. Clinton been the Democratic nominee, she was now definitely going to vote for Mr. McCain because of his selection of Ms. Palin.

“I can just really relate to everything in her life,” Ms. Krueger said. “Children with disabilities. Teenage pregnancy.”

(Right. That woman was going to vote for Hillary. Right.)

[Gipper44]

I mean you cannot write this stuff.

The great one condemning lobbyists; little joey's son got 4+ million in earmarks from the great one.

Little joey's brother?

MBNA owns little joey lock, stock & barrel.

I mean I know that the MSM will ignore this hypocrisy, but the MSM is becoming obsolete before our very eyes.

[ThunderclapNewman]

Prove it.

Prove it all.

[repubstheirownworstenemy]

You can't be serious.

[RatgurlSD]

Cite sources.

Source or go the f_ck away.

"Sen. Barack Obama sought more than $3.4 million in congressional earmarks for clients of the lobbyist son of his Democratic running mate, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, records show. Obama succeeded in getting $192,000 for one of the clients, St. Xavier University in suburban Chicago."

CBS (I know that't hard to believe) AUgust 27

A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.

Washington Post August 24

Palin's college education minimal?

What about little joey plagiarizing himself thru Syracuse law school?

[Viper]

He may have gotten Earmarks for the State of Delaware.. Its only John McCain and certainly not his Party that decided all earmarks are bad. Last year he gave speeches at 3 earmarks he had opposed as wasteful. He oppsed a bunch of hers as wastful.


The hypocracy is his VP requested 700 million last year and got over 300 million. She is the queen of earmarks!

[InformedVoter08]

I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP tries to get Palin a pass on the VP debate! lol

Obama: Republicans must think you’re stupid

............... “Suddenly [McCain’s] the change agent!” Obama laughed. “He says, “I’m going to tell those lobbyists that their days of running Washington are over.”

Who’s he going to tell? Is he going to tell his campaign chairman who’s one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he going to tell his campaign manager who was one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he going to tell all the folks who are running his campaign who are the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington?”..........

So is Todd going to supervise the kids like he supervised Bristol when she was having unprotected s e x with a thug?

[StarkRavingNakedEmperor]

Touche!

[BPCModerate]

As I recall, Senator Obama's mother was unmarried at the time, and his father left her alone to raise him by himself. That might be the reason he declared this entire subject off-limits. if you really believe in your candidate, you might take him at his word.

[Viper]

No, they were married. Not that I care about that. She was not a holly roller preaching abstinence only nor were her parents. She was not of the Family Values party.

If your children dont listen to you... should we?

Regards

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Hmm. I don't recall seeing her name on anyone's ballot.

Let's stick to the subject, buddy.

So is Todd going to supervise the kids like he supervised Bristol when she was having unprotected s e x with a thug?

Is that thug enrolled in college yet?

[BPCModerate]

By herself, I mean. i apologize for the typo.
