Before she was running against him, Sarah Palin--the governor of Alaska and now the Republican candidate for Vice-President of the United States--thought it was pretty neat that Barack Obama was edging ahead of John McCain in her usually solidly red state. After all, she said, Obama's campaign was using the same sort of language that she had in her gubernatorial race. "The theme of our campaign was 'new energy,' " she said recently. "It was no more status quo, no more politics as usual, it was all about change. So then to see that Obama--literally, part of his campaign uses those themes, even, new energy, change, all that, I think, O.K., well, we were a little bit ahead on that." She also noted, "Something's kind of changing here in Alaska, too, for being such a red state on the Presidential level. Obama's doing just fine in polls up here, which is kind of wigging people out, because they're saying, 'This hasn't happened for decades that in polls the D' "--the Democratic candidate--" 'is doing just fine.' To me, that's indicative, too. It's the no-more-status-quo, it's change."

Oh, Obamas people are takeing all of this in and we will see the results once we get past the RNC or a facsimilie of it.............

LOL I can't wait for the debates, they will blow these current polls out the window. I saw the candidate on 60 minutes this evening and they looked so confident and together. I have confidence in the American people that once they see the candidates in debate they will know that Obama/Biden is the only choice to make.

The only thing that concerns me about the debates is this: Can Joe Biden measure himself enough to soundly defeat Sarah Palin without looking like he beat up on her? It could end up being like the Lazio/ Clinton thing if Joe isn't careful, but he still needs to run circles round him, as I know he has the intellectual capacity to do.
