They keep comparing Palin to Obama--again McCain gets a freebie.
Just like his mentor and bff...Boosh.

They just said only a million fewer people watched Palin accept VP than watched Obama accept POTUS nomination.

Obama was asked earlier today why he is refraining from lashing out at Palin. He said because he's not running against Palin. On Rachel Maddow's show, his communications director was asked by David Gregory from the RNC why they were not being patient and allowing Palin to present her platform for America since it took so long for Obama to present his. The talented communications director said that the criticisms that Palin did not present any concrete plans are not solely an issue for Palin--none of the people at the RNC presented any plans or a platform and by this time and this late in the RNC somebody should have done so by now.

They got nothin'.

1. It's not about winning, it's about tarnishing & trashing Obama's good message.
Obama's message is poison to those evil shits.

2. One of the main points of nominating Palin.
They dug a hole for Obama to fall into and he simply stepped over it and kept going. Hopefully 37 million people will watch on Oct.8 when Palin has to debate Biden (if she hasn't been dropped by then).

3. McCain's running for president on Palin's limited experience
He's hiding behind her flag-waving, god spouting frippery in an attempt to secure the highest office in the country.


What we are witnessing is the continuation of the day when McCain bowed down to Bush in submission and groveled for his acceptance (the hug)

Rather pathetic isn't he?

4. Why is Gregory asking about PALIN'S platform?
When was the last time a VP candidate had a PLATFORM of their own?

This has devolved into bad slapstick.

7. That's what we absolutely Do Not want. Palin is not on the same level as Obama and we must support
Obama's assertions of such. It's time to ignore Palin for any purpose other than comedy.

9. McClown screwed up. His VP is overshadowing him.
She is extreme RWing & a putz but the RWing Base loves her because she stands for what the do.

Sen. Obama & his team should keep ignoring her & keep the focus on McClown.
