John McCain?s VP pick is finally in, and it?s Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. ?In picking Palin, McCain is taking a calculated risk,? writes Washingtonpost.com?s Chris Cillizza. ?She is totally unknown and untested on the national stage but also has impressive credentials in her short time in public life.?

 

 

Political Perceptions : Political Wisdom: McCain Chooses Palin for Veep. Seriously.

I told my sister, who is a Dem, this past spring that I really liked Palin, and I thought if she checked into her, she would like her even though she's a Republican. Kind of like Bobby Jindal. I think there are a lot of Dems that, if they could get past the party label, they would like him too.

The same lobbyists and corporations own both parties.. don't kid yourselves.

McCain taps Alaska Gov. Palin as vice president pick - CNN.com

I am also ecstatic, she fits the GOP profile perfect... corrupt !!

 

She also negates the "experience" card on Obama, her husband works for "BP"(oilman), and she is an allegedly former drug user, AND HAS ABSOLUTE no experience whatsoever in foriegn relations... except she knows Russia is right next to Alaska.

 

McCain is obviously trying to draw in the Hillary voters on this one, which won't work.... Palin is PROLIFE not PROCHOICE.

 

The GOP of course supports her... pro gun, pro life, pro coruption, no surprise there, but all in all, they just handed Obama the election.

 

LOVE IT !!

She called out Republicans and oil companies about corruption. I don't know how that makes her pro-corruption.

Ahh, so she's a hypocrite too... I LOVE THE GOP VP PICK !!!

So she'd be better if she just towed the party line and didn't question anything?

[snafu]

HAHAHA

 

She's clean as a whislte. That's one of the reasons McCain picked her. There's some investigation on her brother -n- law but it has nothing to do with her.

Actually it does, she was apparently trying to get him fired. She also supposedly took his boss off his job and offered to transfer him somewhere else, for not firing the ex brother in law. But the ex brother in law sounds like an asshole, too, so meh.

So that would "have something to do with her", but in a good way.

Hmm, rumor has it, that 5th kid of hers, is really her DAUGHTERS child... and in another development, there are also alleged NUDE PHOTOS of her floating around.

Lordy.. poor McSh tstain..

 

Even if they're not real, it'll overshadow the convention with speculation..

 

One would think if they were real it woulda came out in her run for governor.. but then again, Alaska state race and national race are two different things.. time will tell. McShamed will prolly drop her like a hot potato.

I smell desperation in the air. Anyone seen the movie "The Candidate"? Might want to check it out.

 

Honestly, with what has happened in the last 5 years, there is no reason Obama shouldn't have a 20 to 30 point lead on McCain. I guess Americans still can smell out a rat.

That's a pretty old fashioned, right wing, non tech savvy point of view.

 

There are many, many, many indicators that each and every poll you see is false.

 

Almost all polls you find on the internet are conducted among LAND LINE polling... I.E. they call you up and ask you this and that. Cell phone usage has now dominated Land line usage by the largest age group of people, where land lines are dominate in a more older (conservative) group. Ever been called for a survey on your cell phone? Know anybody who has? It DOES happen, although the cell number must be listed in the white pages. How many people do you suppose have their cell as a primary phone and have it listed?

 

I say Obama's following is MUCH MUCH larger then what McSame thinks it is. I'm gonna call a landslide victory all the way.

I think you are being a bit assumptive and not so much factual...

 

Today, approximately 95% of all households have a telephone and every survey reported in this book is based on interviews conducted by telephone.

 

Isn't Gallop one of the polls that you show? You denounce Zogby and USAToday, but have said Gallop is a credible poll?

 

I admit there are issues with all polls....

 

College students living on campus, armed forces personnel living on military bases, prisoners, hospital patients and others living in group institutions are not represented in Gallup’s "sampling frame." Clearly these exclusions represent some diminishment in the coverage of the population, but because of the practical difficulties involved in attempting to reach the institutionalized population, it is a compromise Gallup usually needs to make.

 

The thing is they are obviously aware also. That's what gives us the margin of error.

Nope, it's a fact, look it up.

Yep, sure is, and if GALLUP is showing a high standing, you can PROBABLY MORE THEN LIKELY give it a 10% boost for Obama. Democrats simply outnumber Republicans... fact... The INDEPENDANTS negate themselves and the GOP base has a higher percentage of land line based people..fact.. older people are more then likely to vote for McCain, but they are a very small portion of the voting population.. The more tech savvy..I.E. internet experienced user is a more LIBERAL thinker, & uses a cell phone as a primary communications port.These numbers outweigh the "CONSERVATIVE TYPE" older crowd hands down. The data speaks for itself.. Conservatism is a dying movement... It has a somewhat following by the less educated and nieve and elderly, but all in all, it is fading into the history books as a VERY VERY bad concept to the "NEW AGE" residents of Earth.

Don't you know you are supposed to provide all the information to me with links to where it came from, otherwise you have poor debating skills? That's what Anna told me when I only gave her one source and told her to google more for herself.

But to reply to your suggestion, I don't know where you get that when Gallup says that 95% of US households have telephones that they poll from.

Try Googling "the Bradley effect". Obama's strength is most likely overrated by the polls.
