The former at least exhibits common sense and good judgement. The latter, the opposite. Last Edited By: Gregoire 09/02/08 12:42 PM. Edited 1 times.

I wouldn't say that Obama's campaign is extraordinarily experienced. Obviously, a lot of the rank and file are too young to be called experienced. I went to college with two of the people he threw under the bus, and while they are very smart their opposite numbers on the Clinton campaign had longer resumes.

Evidently, running a campaign is more important than, say, winning a campaign. I truly can't believe he said that. What next? Palin wearing a helmet ala Dukakis as a show of support for her baby? This has to be the weirdest election cycle since Tilden/Hayes.

I'm intrigued by this veep pick, but I want to hear what she has to say on the issues now, not as they were in yesterday's news or how NYT is calling her a product of a campaign in shambles or whatever they posted on their front page today.

She can work while the husband does the care taking just as easily. Matter of fact why doesn't a man in the same situation not get bashed for leaving the kids at home. I guess liberals really against the liberation of women, shocking

Who cares if Hillary's was stronger? She's not the nominee. Mitt Romney's team was pretty strong too and he's not the nominee either. Meanwhile, as a current display of McCain's crack political team, they Googled their vice presidential candidate with little vetting. I don't particular put that at McCain's door, as he doesn't even know how to use a computer. This has to be the weirdest election cycle since Tilden/Hayes. Oh my God, total bonus points for you! I almost made a Samuel Tilden reference in another thread and thought, no, that's too obscure. Last Edited By: Gregoire 09/02/08 12:57 PM. Edited 1 times.

In retrospect, not at all for the country or Constitution, but for his campaign. That Obama quote is very silly and he would do well to avoid those questions entirely. He needs to heighten his many other strengths and deflect the whole 'experience' question to elaborating on the 'bad experience' of Dubya or whomever.

Most importantly he has lots of experience with the oil industry. So we have him to thank for our $2.50 per gallon gas and our wonderful economy. I'm voting for John and Sarah. (snort)

If she hadn't had all these skeletons in her closet, Palin would have been able to run in 4 or 8 years' time.

Posts: 2850 (09/02/08 1:13 PM) Badass motherfucker-er More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Yeah, Obama's white elephant (so to speak) is his lack of experience. For him to talk about it was foolish and not well thought out, to say the least. I wonder who advised him on that, or if he just went ahead on his own impetuous initiative? "Hey guys, guess what! I, too, have foreign experience as I have been running this campaign for awhile now! Plus, I've been to foreign countries and met some foreign dudes. Holla!" Regarding the Tilden example, I'm glad you got it... I kinda felt that Trho and jefa would get it, and maybe Sloan if he hasn't given up on the political thread(s), yet. Now if you understood my Martin Van Buren/corset reference, then I shall say that you complete me in a dirty liberal way.
