    You need to read a newspaper or watch the news, it was the McCain campaign who first said he was referring the Palin, the MSM said how ridiculous it was for McCain to accuse him of that. You cant get around this one. You are saying if this and that, I know the facts.

    Which is why Palin is more qualified to be commander in chief than McCain.

    New poll this morning on NBC Meet The Press shows that Obama has slipped in the all important swing states. Even Wisconsin, which was thought to be an Obama lock just a few weeks ago is now a dead heat according to the NBC political editor. Obama's lead in other swing states have been reduced to a dead heat or razor thin margins where he had been a strong lean before. The calculations of electoral votes, based on this poll, are now within 6 in Obama's favor which was recently almost 40.

    The good news for Obama is that he seemingly has locked up most of the western states.

    Also note, the poll was taken this weekend after Palin's interview's with Charles Gibson and the forum at Columbia with McCain and Obama.

    Obviously you do not know the facts.

    McCain spent over twenty years in the Senate plus 22 years in the Navy. During his years in the Senate he has become very familiar with foreign policy issues. That more than qualifies him to be commander-in-chief.

    Got back from the game last night and found my power restored after 13 days! Then my insurance adjuster finally showed up. I'm on a roll today. :thumb:

    Articulate, Yes. More articulate that Obama, No. And far less knowledgeable than McCain, Biden, or Obama on presidential issues.

    So how do you feel about the Republicand virtually running an Palin/ McCain ticket. They deperately want to keep the story away from the economy, the war, and the republican scandals. So they are running a People magazine campaign, how lightweight can you get?

    You're dreaming again! :grin:

    Both are short on experience, The republicans vilified Obama for it before nominating the PTA mom.

    Is Biden part of the Republican hegemony that is responsible for the mess the country is in? . . . or is McCain?

    So Palin doesn't have more experience than Obama/Biden combined, as many republican propagandeers have argued? I think it should be clear that Obama has more experience with national issues than Palin, while Palin has been a popular governor, which gives her experience calling the shots at the state level. I'm looking forward to the debates.

    Me too, that will tell the story, then we should check the polls after the debates. Right now McCain is running his campaign in the ground with negativity, but he got his bump in the polls.

    its pretty bad when even Rove thinks a republican's ads have gone too far (been too inaccurate/misleading).
