>>>I haven't glossed over the reality, I am just not falling for the spin. The Republicans are desperate this year, as well they should be, and there is almost nothing they won't try.

>>>I missed your opinion thread. Personally I don't have that much against McCain beyond the obvious -- his age, his policies, his not quite being with it in the new century, and now his judgment with the choice of a stealth running mate. Ms. (Mrs.?) Palin seems A-OK in many regards, but ready to be president of the U.S.? Give me a break.

>That is ridiculous. She was the mayor of a town I have heard variously described as having a population of 9000 and 6500, and now she is the 2 year governor of one of our least populous states. I defy you to name anyone outside Alaska who had even heard of before this week. John McCain had reportedly only met her once before naming her his running mate. Contrast to a U.S. senator from one of our most populous states and a national figure for the past several years. You are usually more rational than this.


I never heard of Obama until he ran for President...
