It’s going to be a very interesting campaign. I must say that several months ago I said that it would be great if there was a woman on the ticket — that I felt that John McCain would have to pick someone, especially if Hillary was the nominee. But without Hillary being the nominee it’s really quite equally as important because people are looking for a smart campaign and I think this might do it.
There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary was treated by the media, by how she was treated by the Obama campaign, by how she was treated by the Democratic National Committee — [Democratic party chairman] Howard Dean not speaking up when sexism raised its ugly head in the media. They’ll be looking to see what happens now.
Oh god. I can hear the conspiracy theories from the right-wing lunatics now.
I'm seeing a debate question. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing (makes her look like a victim) or a good thing (opens the door for Biden to ask why she was using the email for government work).

I doubt it will come up during the debate. There's no real reason to bring it up and I don't think either of them knows or cares enough about computer security to want to talk about it.
I do expect talk radio and the McCain campaign to try and pin it on Obama somehow.

Yes, but that was when the debates were moderated by morons.
Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifill are pretty far from that.

I think that has more to do with getting something interesting out of a group that agrees on 95% of the issues.

I was curious if Obama's supporters actually like his ambiguity?
If you're too internet illiterate to check the website, you're probably on the Republican ticket.
What fucking website are you referring too??
Anyways, much like the Rick Warren forum and seeing how close we are to the debates the interview did cement my prediction on the outcome.
Obama's website, which goes into more detail than McCain ever has or Obama has time for on the air. Hell, half of his recent ads tell you to check his website to learn more.
One very good example: we know exactly what Obama's social security plan is. All we have from McCain is a claim that he'll fix it.
I don't see how it is possible to both criticize Obama for being ambiguous on policy and at the same time support Johnny.
See, this is what I've learned. THIS isn't why he's voting for McCain. This more than likely has nothing to do with it. Rather, he's made up his mind on the race, and this is simply something to tear down Obama for.
To be fair, I find myself doing the same thing when debating Obama/McCain with others. My core arguments rarely have the same effect on others that they do on me.
This is going to be completely off topic, but this is incredibly annoying:
Why do people insist on calling Sarah Palin the first woman to have a chance at the Presidency? I wasnt even born when Geraldine Ferraro was picked by Walter Mondale and even I know about it. What the fuck America, open a fucking book. Shit check google or something. Jesus.
I think that given what happened to Mondale at the actual election, commentators kinda scrub him from the record vis a vis "have a chance at the Presidency." And yes, it is very annoying. Palin's pick was not historic. At all.
It was the most nakedly cynical veep pick in history. That must count for something.

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
Well, John McCain is going to defeat evil everywhere.
John McCain is for everything that you think is awesome, and against anything you think sucks
no ambiguity there
[Fry and Leela are watching a debate. The candidates are clones, they use the same tone of voice and body movements for each other's short speech]
Jack Johnson: It's time for someone who has the courage to stand up and say,
[slams his fist on the podium] Jack Johnson: "I'm against those things that everybody hates!"
John Jackson: Now, I respect my opponent. I think he's a good man. But quite frankly...
[slams his fist on the podium]
John Jackson: I agree with everything he just said.
538 has a new set of polls, putting Obama at a 74.4% win percentage.
Interestingly, OH is put at McCain+6.
What is that, a two-percent gain?
Arrrgh suddenly all of this polling hoopla seems insignificant in light of the Republicans' attempt to exploit a financial crisis in order to ram through legislation to drain our coffers dry. I just hope any attempts at reform won't be used to sabotage the campaigns.
mtvcdm I am counting on the accuracy of your predictions here.

People are discussing important things right now and the last thing I need is another three-page digression on why you have a stone for a brain.
The current bill proposed basically gives the Treasury Secretary a 700 billion investment fund with no accountability...
If John McCain wins the election, one of the possible appointments for that position is...
Phil Gramm?!
The one responsible for this mess?!
D:D:D:D:

chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
