    McCain/Obama

    Maybe we should have one thread to discuss the election until election day?

    I'm surprised to see the bounce in the polls that McCain has received. I like these poll trackers.

    Well thought out, witty, deliberate with the just the right amount of existential prose.

    Barack Obama is unelectable in the general election. All you really need to know.

    Well of course not but you should be surprised by the polls. And there is good reason to assume that Barry's going to have to be ahead by double digits to win this thing.

    For all those that say Obama is a good speaker and very eloquent I just do not see it, or hear it. He's no Bill Clinton when it comes to speaking. McCain may not be the best speaker, but he's no worse than Obama. I've been watching CNN a lot lately and when I see Obama speak he seems to pause a lot and say "you know", which is the equivalent of saying "um." I think Biden and Palin are much more effective speakers.

    Did you read the headline?


    McCain ahead in national polls; Obama up in electoral votes

    The San Francisco Chronicle looks at the shrinking number of battleground states, noting John McCain's conspicuous shoutings-out to Todd Palin during his latest Virginia swing. "McCain drew his crowd's attention to Palin's husband, Todd, a four-time champion of the Iron Dog snowmobile contest in Alaska and member of the steelworkers' union, who smiled and waved at his wife's side. McCain said the 2,000-mile race 'in the dead of winter' showed that 'this guy's not afraid of anything.' The campaign believes that Todd Palin could be a huge asset with the blue-collar vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio."

    Hockey Mom married to an Iron Dog champion. This qualifies her to be a VP..............

    That is going to change a lot over the next sveral weeks. This electoral college vote talley shows the two at even right now. Your right that the electoral votes are more important...just ask Al gore.

    While those factors likely played some role in McCains's choice, I believe it was her qualification as Governor that got her onto the short list.

    Pressed about what insights into recent Russian actions she gained by living in Alaska, Palin told Gibson, "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.

    Possibly.....

    You have to admit, Palin's answer was almost childish.
