I hear all you people in hear attacking Palin's experience to be Vice President but what experience does Obama have to even be President. Obama even said that it is not about experience its about judgement. If Obama criticise Palin's inexperience he will look like such a hypocrite. What he needs to do is get Hillary and michelle together and try to pull the female vote that may want to vote for mccain. That is how we will win this contest.

um actually most of the threads here are about policies and potential scandals

Although there is one salacious nonsensical thread meandering around the idea of the newborn baby being her daughter's rather than hers.

i know

Obama doesn't need to attack her, that's Bidens job. And she has less experience than any other VP candidate in history. Biden will have her for lunch in the debates, this chick is a walking dartboard, and we are standing 3 feet away, hard to miss from that distance, not brilliant, idiotic. And I know all about her. She's an idiot. That's why they picked her, to have someone to blame the loss on.

From her own towns municipal code on the duties of the Mayor---

1. Oversee all town council voting, w/out having a vote, unless of a tie.

2. To be a ceremonial figurehead of our town.

That's it. Nothing more. Google it.

I rest my case.

Agree on the irrelevant stuff.

The thought that PUMAS will vote for Any Chick In A Storm is pretty laughable. If THEY catch wind of it....they's tough broads. Don't mess with them. They were backing one of the most qualified candidates in history.

Glad to see you've done your homework! After watching her interviews (extemporaneous - no notes) and her knowledge of energy production & delivery (energy being only a tick above the war in iraq in importance to voters) I know she'll smoke Biden. I'm also pleased to hear that libs such as yourself are underestimating this VP pick to that extent. KEEP ON DOING IT!

you shoud've have made your name a little different

And your brilliant point is? Nothing. You have nothing. Which is what she has...nothing. Where are the links to her interviews? I heard the interview with Charlie Rose, and she didn't even know what the VP did! Let alone her personal accomplishments in Alaska were. She is a nothing, so if that qualifies as brilliant, well,then, she won. Kind of like the least likely in HS. So hey, Vote for Pedro!!! I would, because I love Mexicans. Viva los Mexicanos!!!

I've heard you saying this elsewhere, too, JJ. I think that in an objective review, simply adding up years, your are wrong.

When one takes into account their respective experiences, a more subjective analysis, I think you are so far wrong that the difference overwhelms the subjectivity.

And when sets aside any analysis of jobs served, years and months served and the related responsibilities, the positions Palin promotes and supports and advances are well outside, not JUST the mainstream of the US, but also the United States Constitution.

All that said, ridiculing her will not defeat her. I'll give you that. But if ANY part of your intent is to claim that she's not to be taken lightly because her resume presents any sort of challenge to Obama is utterly ridiculous.

RandyS, you have this problem with distinguishing between sarcasm or jokes and serious statements. I think DreadTheLibertarians was SERIOUS. No really! I MEAN it. I don't think he was joking when he said Palin would smoke Biden in a debate!

I understand why you'd burst into laughter. It seems natural. But this goof really, really means it!

Or maybe I just have trouble recognizing saracsm, or absurd overstatement for comic effect.

2x's Last thing I want to be associated with is Libertarians. With only 5 posts... I'd just call it a loss and start with a new name.

I'm confident too. To quote the Governor,


That sounds like how George got bin-Laden!

Indeed, she has more ability to operate in the Executive Branch than Biden because - she's a faster learner! Go ahead!

She's probably one of the top fifty most qualified female Alaska Republicans!

How dare anyone imply that she's an



Get real. Heather Wilson is about five hundred light years ahead of this back-bencher. Gale Norton, etc., can pick you 100 better Republican females.

Riddle me this one, chummie....


hurt your head on that one.

it is fun to watch isnt it, my friend...it is going to feel so good to have justice and decency back in our government...

it will take months to get the stench out of the white house

The White House??? I can smell that sh*t all the way over here! I'm putting all my money in Febreeze...

This woman represents taking away a Supreme Court Right to an abortion, that say's it all. She can't have her hubby blow it on her chest, so she'll have another. Well a lot of us, especially now, can't afford to have another, so we use condoms or the pill. In her eye's, we are sinners. Where the fuck is the Bible invoked in our constitution? It is not, that is what she wants to change. She is a loser. She is woman against her own gender, that's called a traitor.

Biden would be an idiot to attack her. If he comes across as a man attacking a poor defenseless woman he will look like the asshole. Again the Obama campaign cant argue experience when Obama has no executive and foreign policy experience and is on the top of the ticket.

LOL JRun, that may be the first time I've heard you use a "bad" word...shit...though masked. lol I sincerely love your sincerity. Thumbs up to you, Sir.

I know, I know... haha... I just never know who may be offended, so I tread lightly.

Hillary supporters are the polar opposite of this bimbo

So-called "experience" is overrated. It's what one DOES with their experience. Obama has shown he's way above the pack in creating one of the best-run, most effective campaign organizations ever known in U.S. history. Dozens of politicians spend decades in Congress without ever learning JACK about diplomacy, history, foreign affairs, etc., etc ad infinitum.

I am not talking about the issues. Palin is a neocon no doubt about it. My point is if Democrats think that they are going to play the experience card they are going to lose. Palin is known as a reformer in her state of Alaska. She has challenged the statas quo of her own party. She has executive experience that all three men do not have. Democrats cant argue experience when the person on the top of the ticket has the least qualifications of any one running for president. We have to smoke her on the issues that is why the Obama team are not stressing experience.

Just because someone runs a good campaign does not mean that they are qualified to be president. Obama does not have a list of accomplishments to speak of. And again if you are saying that Palin does not have the experience to be vice president than Obama does not have the experience to be president. That is why obama cannot use the experience card.

That's the republican talkinpoint right now... they're trying to drive that home. Her 18 mos as governor of Alaska. I agree. Stay away from the experience issue, that's why Palin helps us. Foreign Policy- Obama has more experience than her. Nationally- Obama has more experience than her. Knowing the job of the VP, I'm sure Obama and Biden are familiar with the duties. Palin as a reformer: I'm pretty sure she has some objectives as to how she wants to reform the constitution just like Bush and Cheney did. Speaking wise... did I ever mention how annoying her voice is? Hahaha.

I'd say his experience as a Constitutional Lawyer-Professor makes him a pretty good candidate. Lincoln was a joke during his time, just a log-choppin law-book reading southerner... He also saved the Union.

I also agree. Hit her on the issues. Like a Hillary blogger wrote today on Huff Po...I forgot her name, Biden should not take it easy on her. She got into this, and she needs to deal with it.

If she's a defenseless woman then she does not deserve to be the vice president (I'm a woman). Anyways, SHE has no problem killing defenseless animals, so let her have it!

Brilliant choice

Here's how brilliant he is, if it's not too late where you are watch the CBS news this eve. I just saw vid of his photo op for today.

He's at a senior center or nursing home with a group of elderly black women. They are up singing a gospel song or something like that, clapping hands and moving with the beat sort of. McSame is standing there with that fake ass smile on his face wondering how the hell he can get out of there.

It's short, but hysterical.

This is the first of many brilliant choices to come from McThuselah. I wonder...how does he give high fives

I like to challenge you on what you just said. No president really has experience on national security and foreign policy. Its once you become president that you get that type of experience. Most presidents were former governors , clinton, bush, reagan, carter etc. That is why executive experience is important because you are running a government buracracy.

Obama's campaign did not argue experience, McCain did and he just shit on his entire line of attack against Obama. He exposed himself as a fake opportunist. If you think America is ready to hand over the keys of state to the Mayor of Wasilla, who has been Gov. for 1 and 1/2 year in a state smaller than all major cities, you have got to be kidding yourself.

Oh please, ObAMA would wipe the slate clean with this idiotic freshman moron. She lives in a state with a total population equal to that of Fort worth, Tejas. She doesn't know shit about international issues. KKKarl siad because she lives close to Russia, it's the same as visiting there. OK, So, I live live close to WI. and I can say they are back ass wards in their thinking, and I wouldn't trust a poll from there either. We win, they lose, she is a losing ticket, they know it. They will blame it on her. How many times has he run and lost? "Nuff said.

Perhaps what is most glaring about Sarah Palin's resume is that there's no position papers. No examples of great thought on the issues of the day. No unique views or insights or approaches that would give this voter confidence that she is an individual of thoughtful and educated views.

In addition, Palin has not shown herself to be a political leader. She has not stepped-up to address the foremost issues of the day or made a tough stand on a national political issue or even shown an interest in standing up for the little guy.

Throughout this election we have been hearing how the economy is the number one issue of this election. And it was noted that McCain would need to select a running mate that has a firm grasp of the economic issues. Is Palin the economic answer? Palin holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Idaho.

Last night on PBS, John McLaughlin asked, what responsibility would VP Sarah Palin have under a McCain administration? Monica Crowley snapped, "Energy!" Really? What great experience does Palin have on the subject of energy beyond her desire to drill in Anwar?

was he checking in

Obama was not a constitutional professor he was an instructor that is a big difference. Your right about lincoln he did only serve one term in the house before he ran for president.

Clearly you have never stepped foot in anybody's law school. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. I would like to see you step in any law school, sit in a Con Law class and refer to the professor as an instructor.

While agreeing that it's wise for Obama and Biden to focus on the myriad of other things that make Palin an anything-but-brilliant choice, and make McCain no choice at all, there is no possible argument that either McCain or Palin can make that barely 2 years of governing 626,932 people qualifies anyone, male or female, for being second in line to govern 301,139,947 people.

And the poster who made the crack about Palin smoking Biden is evidently smoking crack.

Obama campaign did start arguing experience once it was known that Palin was Mccain's running mate but they had to take it back. They knew that if they start arguing about experience that it would reflect back on his own inexperience. They should of said nothing and let Mccain argue that Obama does not have enough experience than they would of had a argument that if he does not have experience why he put rockie a heart beat away from the presidency. That is good strategy.

What are you talking about? Of course Obama would be able to teach Constitutional law he is a lawyer. That does not mean he is a professor because he would need to have a graduate degree to teach in college. That is the difference between professor and instructor.

Obama and Biden don't have to say one word about Sarah Palin. In fact, there's no need to acknowledge her at all. They can continue their attack on McCain being an extension of Bush, and never have to say anything about Palin.

The issue of Palin will take care of itself. Obama and Biden don't even have to ask the question of whether Palin is qualified for the position, because that question is already being asked and answered throughout this country.

What Kane said.

I think We should all stop trying to second-guess Obama and Biden, and picking apart what strategy will work for them or not, and work on electing them, period. They're doing just fine in Ohio today, and they aren't taking anything back.

This kind of pick-at-the-candidates by the Democratic base is the real reason, more than Gore's failure to include Bubba's campaigning, more than Kerry's slow response to the swiftboaters, more than the meedja or the voting machines or anything else, this boutique-issue/I-know-what-they-need-to-do attitude, is the real reason that the neocon crooks stole the last two elections. At least the GOP just devours their own whole, like pythons or sump'n.

And the country is ready to hand over the keys to a community organizer who has been in the senate 2 years before he started running for president. Dont make arguments like that the other side will crush you.

ditto brother

"if you are wondering why we arent bringing up his vp pick, it is because there just isnt anything to say"


something like this is what obama or biden should say

Constitutional lawyer... then professor... that's what the dash was intended to mean. Professor or close enough to professor... that's up for opinion.

And in the context of law school you would be 100 percent wrong.

what's your goal here

We get rid of 76 & here comes another one!!
