Here's why it doesn't matter that McCain stole Obama's thunder with his veep:

Because Obama didn't just make one fantastic speech, he is a FANTASTIC SPEAKER and so unless McCain drops a bomb after every Obama speech, it won't matter in the long run.


A more accurate statement would be that he has good speechwriters. He is impotent without a teleprompter, a stuttering, stammering, insecure babbler.


EDIT: Here's another reason: What was it? 38 million people tuned in to Obama? How many of those tune into the news regularly enough to have been affected by McCain's next-day story? I contend that even if it dominated the news it didn't dominate the minds of the 38 million who tuned in to see the guy speak. Perhaps McCain's viewing numbers will give us the big clue either way.

And the very small bump he got that dissipated like a snowflake in July shows that people were mostly underwhelmed by his speech, and more excited over the choice of Palin.

Its a public forum.

I was not trolling, I was looking for something of substance, but was overwhelmed by the BS.

Seriously dude, how old are you. How can I take anything you say serious when as an American I hear(read) you spelling lying as lieing..

"Obama is lieing to you"...Correction: Obama is lying to you..

I am shocked. But this is totally off topic so to go back on topic I will add this.

Over the past couple of days I really had to do some self reflection on what I think is the right decision for America. I wanted my vote to count and mean something and didn't want to select someone who I believed is wrong for this country. I was for Ron Paul but he dropped out. Then I switched to Obama. I admitted that Obama was inexperienced but still felt he posses the skills and the natural abilities to be a good leader for this nation. I was all for him while still having that experience doubt in my mind.

Then McCain made this "I don't have a word to describe it" decision to pick Sarah Palin. I mean, COME ON..WOW..I would not have a problem with him picking an inexperienced VP but the fact that he's an older gentleman and he has medical problems and GOD forbid, he might leave this world. This man would be leaving the office of the President to Sarah Palin???Insert Instant Headache

I don't care if her daughter had sex with a 100 men. That is not my business. If she chose to keep the child that is good news as I am against abortion up to a certain period. So people's families and kids really don't bother me.

This woman has ZERO-0-Zilch experience to be president. Her foreign Policy is because she neighbors Canada and Russia. She is the Governor of Alaska with a population of about 700,000 people.

With that said. I really have to rethink the value of experience

McCain: Highly experienced but the Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran did it for me

Obama: Would be perfect in 10+ years but one can't discount the character of the man and the possibilities he posses. He has managed to draw millions of people to him. 38 million people took time away from their busy schedule to watch him.

Biden: Experienced (I don't want to hear about him taking the train one more time) Probably the best Candidate in my Opinion.

Sarah Palin: Has been a Governor for about 2 years. Admittedly made some bold moves while on her way from Mayor to Governor. I want people to really study Alaska and you will find out that Alaska is not a poor state, nor a highly populated state, nor a state that has crimes like other states. For a person who recently got her passport 4 years ago I am sorry this is just not right. Please Sarah, go travel the World, see what other states inside your own country goes through. Its not all ice creams and snow cones.

So with that Said, I think out of the 4 Biden should be the president with Obama has his VP. Since it cannot be changed lets see what happens with the reverse.

PS. To all the Liberals-Democrats, be careful the conservatives are setting us up for this one. Don't make comments that Sarah Palin is unqualified are you will be labeled a SEXIST. Its beginning to happen and it will only get worst.

Even his own party threw him overboard in the first caucus (Iowa). He failed to get even one percent of the vote there.

Thanks for labeling yourself as an elitist right-off the bat.

Why do you feel he posseses these skills and natural abilities to be a leader?

He has yet to demonstrate the ambition, let alone the ability, unless ofcourse the spot-light is involved, to posses any leadership skills.

McCain has been labeled by some as "too old" to run for president. However, aside from moderately high cholesterol, for which he takes medication, doctors say McCain is in exemplary shape for his age.


I don't care if her daughter had sex with a 100 men. That is not my business. If she chose to keep the child that is good news as I am against abortion up to a certain period. So people's families and kids really don't bother me.


Werd


This woman has ZERO-0-Zilch experience to be president. Her foreign Policy is because she neighbors Canada and Russia. She is the Governor of Alaska with a population of about 700,000 people.


POTUS primary duty is make desicions.

Govenors primary duty is make desicions.

Senators duty is legislate (give speaches) on why this or that bill, law etc. is good or bad.

Senor senators (Biden) often author those bills and look for jr. senators (Obama) to sponsor them.

Then they take a vote.



With that said. I really have to rethink the value of experience


I was hoping so...


McCain: Highly experienced but the Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran did it for me


Your going to let a parody that didn't even top Weird Al himself decide your vote?


Obama: Would be perfect in 10+ years but one can't discount the character of the man and the possibilities he posses. He has managed to draw millions of people to him. 38 million people took time away from their busy schedule to watch him.


I agree, if the next 10 years he showed us and not just told us.


Biden: Experienced (I don't want to hear about him taking the train one more time) Probably the best Candidate in my Opinion.


Maybe, but he was a miserable failure in the primaries.


Sarah Palin: Has been a Governor for about 2 years. Admittedly made some bold moves while on her way from Mayor to Governor. I want people to really study Alaska and you will find out that Alaska is not a poor state, nor a highly populated state, nor a state that has crimes like other states.

Obama has been in the US senate for 3 years and running a campaign for POTUS for the last 2, hasn't left much time to be a senator!


So with that Said, I think out of the 4 Biden should be the president with Obama has his VP. Since it cannot be changed lets see what happens with the reverse.


My guess is your are a moderate dem. I would be careful, because the far left is taking over your party.

Odd, do you feel that you would like to share a fox hole with any of the four and that I am being unfair and that I should change my view of one of the candidates? Or am I being to slow in making up my mind about the other three? Just because some one does not support all my goals does not make them a P.O.S. it just means that I may not support them.
