Well I would do Mccain's Running mate.

"When she dismissed Alaska Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan on July 11, Palin said she wanted to take the commission in a new direction.

A week later, Monegan told NBC affiliate KTUU of Anchorage that he thought it was likely that he had been dismissed because he resisted pressure from Palin's staff and husband to fire the trooper, who was involved in a bitter custody battle with the governor's sister after their divorce in 2005.

Last month, the state Legislature appointed an independent investigator to review whether the governor or her aides abused their power by pressuring Monegan to fire the trooper, a probe that the Democratic chairman of the state Senate Judiciary Committee said could lead to Palin's impeachment. The outside investigator, a retired assistant district attorney in Anchorage, was directed to file his report by Oct. 31, four days before the presidential election."

The only experience Obama has is running long distance events. Well he has the genes for it.

I'm still undecided at this point, but I'm leaning towards Obama. McCain is hard not to like but if he's just going to be Bush's 3rd term then well "8 is enough" for me. I'm an independent voter, I will vote the best man for the job. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not a Bush hater but the man's foreign policy, tax cuts for the rich, and tax breaks to large corporations that send jobs overseas are misguided approaches not to mention the constant meddling in the middle east. Reagan was right, there's no point in even trying to deal with the irrational politics of those guys and we've started a war there. One that if I'm not mistaken was suppose to be a pretty quick job. Look where that got us. I think we should learn from history, not ignore it.


As far as the VP spot goes, Biden is clearly a better choice than Palin. We are suppose to assume these people are there to help the President. Palin doesn't strike me as being that intelligent. If I were to see an interview with this woman and I didn't know who she was I'd never expect her to be in the position that shes in. She's not even that well spoken. Does she have leadership qualities? Maybe so. Does she have the ability to run THIS country. Please...I would be terrified if she was VP knowing that McCain could bite the big one. I'd hope if that happened it would be very close to another election. Sad truth.

Still though, Im looking forward to this week and hearing what McCain and Palin have to say. Like I said, undecided but I'm going to try my best to keep on open mind on the entire situation. Maybe Palin can prove me wrong, we will see what she has to say. A part of me tells me though this is just strategy so McCain can pick up the "bruised" female vote that would have went to Clinton. A dumb move IMO if that's the case. There were better options out there. A few of them I would have been excited about.

I read where she got sued for firing another offical (couldve been the same one, cant remember) just because she could. He sued saying it was because of a deal she had with some ppl that voted for her, the reason it was dimissed was because the judge said she could actually do that.

He's black, we get it. Come back with some new jokes.

We know "YOU" take pride in being ignorant.

The only democrat that is worth electing is Mark Warner. I really like him. He'll be president one day if he don't pull a Chuck Robb or Greg Baker.

[R13]

You were being ignorant long before I was if thats the case.

[imported_burrhead]

I know it.
