In case you havent figured out, people still have a big problem with John McCain including republicans who believe Palin was a mistake.
If you are so sure that the electoral map shows Obama is going to win, why does Palin scare you so much that you have to keep trying to put her down? I'm not worried about Biden, so I don't comment on him at all. He's no threat to me. But obviously Palin is to you.

Palin is the one with the unAmerican plan -- trying to mix politics with religion -- which is in no way what this country's principles were founded on.

Is this argument the same argument that people are using when they say the iraq war is being paid for with our childrens money.


You do know he wants to add UHC and a civilian army equal to our military which is 439 billion a year strong. @ best both wars are equal to a 1/4 of that.

she doesnt scare me at all. Im just LMAO at all of you that think this woman that nobody know and has little experience is some how going to stop the huge surge of support behind Obama. its laughable. The difference is people are behind Palin because she is a woman. People are behind Obama for what he stands for.

RealClearPolitics - RealClearPolitics Poll Averages


that's close enough with the margin of error that one might call it practically a tie. If Obama is the "perfect" candidate then why is he tied with "mcsame"

Palin is a threat to *everyone* in this country who is not a radical Christian like her.

People tend to forget that just because the base is crazy about her, that does not add to chances of victory. They would have voted McCain anyway. It is ALL about independents.

Actually, it's not my opinion that polls have historically been inaccurate.

Polls have historically been inaccurate.

Even exit polls have misled people in the past.
