She's for McCain!

God help us.

She obviously has no clue what he will do to her, and all women!

1. Well .... We cant thank the Republicans for creating a persuasive argument for her vote
But perhaps we can blame the Democrats for NOT creating a persuasive argument to win her vote ....

3. Perhaps...
Or maybe she's just not paying attention...

Or she comes from a very Republican family...

I don't know.

But her mind certainly was closed.

2. Yeah - Ms Morehead College (parents wasting their money on her education) - like McCain has a plan,
and, like, Obama is all PR and doesn't have a plan, like!

4. You could be right!
Obama doesn't have a plan, like YEAH.

Maybe her parents are happy with how their daughter is turning out.

7. I wonder if she would vote for Bush again if she could.
I mean Bush and McCain have done little to distinguish themselves as being anything other than corporate puppets with their strings being manipulated by the CEO's of fortune five hundred companies.

This is sad, really sad.

8. This is her first time voting...
But she sounded so brain-washed that I expect she would have if she'd been old enough!

It saddens me too...

Plus it enrages me!

9. Someone in the background was telling her what to say
Edited on Mon Aug-25-08 11:07 PM by EC
it took her a while to get to the phone to talk, so I think it was scripted...I'll bet she was a paid shill. She used the talking point of Obama not giving specifics and McCain did...


On edit: I also heard a woman just before her call that said she had just decided to vote for Obama just because of Michelle's speech...

10. I didn't pick that up...
I thought she sounded pretty confident, actually...

I hope you're right!

To hear a young woman talk like that...

It's discouraging, to say the least.

11. I didn't get to see the girl talk.
But from what Peggy has said, it is very disheartening.

12. My dear Nasprin...
She wasn't on TV...

They were doing phone interviews...

I only heard her.

It was still very discouraging...
