How do you think all this baby stuff is playing with the undecided voters we need to win?
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 01:30 PM by RiverStone
At first glance, Bristol's pregnancy won't take away any votes for Obama - or cut back any of the rightie wacko's who would vote for McBush regardless of who is pregnant. What I wonder is how is this baby media/blogger frenzy affects the Indies and undecideds voters?

I'm too biased to be objective, but given Sarah's stance against teaching about birth control/STD (in health class) education to kids --- certainly McBush could have figured this would have created some kind of media reaction. Obviously, either the pukes felt it was a non-issue, or would somehow play into a political advantage.

Is this much ado about something that won't affect votes, or could it? Do you think the baby/pregnancy thing affects undecided voters one way or the other? :shrug:

1. The comments posted after the news articles have an "OMG!" tone... too much drama for her to be vp
how can she be VP with two babies on the hip, etc...

3. I doubt they even know about it
When I turn on CNN and MSNBC, there is nothing but hurricane coverage.

4. It gives the impression she has a closet stuffed with secrets.
What else is in there, Ms. Palin?

But I can't claim to think like an undecided voter. How can ANYONE be undecided at this point?? Not enough info for ya? Geez, what are they waiting for -- someone to turn into a vampire or something?
