One can argue that these things are not important, but you need to know about them and avoid them whenever possible.

I am all for McCain keeping Obama out of the news, if it's more stuff like this. Keep it coming.
LOL, no kidding--I don't need to hear "all Obama all the time." It's good to take a break from time to time, especially when you got something really juicy to laugh about.

I'm sure there will be a few more "Obama breaks" in the next 60 days, too. Unless they've told Sarah to sit still and say nothing, she's bound to make a major gaffe. She's just too colorful, and she's too new to know where to step. (Or where not to step.)

By all means, I'll be tickled to stop talking about Obama for awhile when that happens.
Every time it happens, LOL.

Can you admit how absolutely brilliant McCains strategy on his VP rollout was? Knocked obama COMPLETELY off the news.
Oh yeah, real brilliant. He totally knocked Obama off the news for three days...over a holiday weekend when the only people even watching the political news have been politicos like ourselves.

Normal people are going on road trips to their relatives' homes, grilling burgers, sitting by the pool for the last time this year, and havin a few cold ones this weekend. Obviously not everyone is off work, but the majority of America is relaxing over the holiday weekend. They're not glued to the tv or radio, watching/listening the news (especially political news), and they could give a crap who McCain chose as his running mate. This forum is not indicative of how the general public feels about politics. Most people in America don't give a crap about running mates or convention speeches.

When I told my mom the other day that McCain chose Palin, and I explained a little about her, my mom's response was, "That's nice. So, I guess it'll just be a couple months before we find out who wins. Could you hand me a soda from the cooler?"

Not an actual 'gaffe' but she has done the '18 million cracks in the glass ceiling' comment *several* times to different audiences.. Heard some very audible boos cause of course the reference to Hillary.. Is that a gain or a loss? I'm confused about the intended purpose..

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Obama got virtually no bounce from the convention and his spectacle of a speech.
