Palin Options

[Robert]

Just wanted to point out I called Palin as VP over 4 months ago, for all the same reasons the decision was made now.
If McCain wins, I honestly believe this will be what puts him over the top.

Also you couldn't ask for better timing to make this announcement.
The DNC convention ended last night with a huge bang an there's not a single leading news story about it.
The news is 100% about Palin as VP.
Talk about stealing someones thunder.

I hope they win an McCain dies the next day.

This election cycle is just amazing
McCain has made some really good moves while Obama has made some stupid ones.
Obama's campaign has spent millions trying to enforce the idea McCain is more of the same. With the Palin pick McCain went contrary to what was expected leaving Obama's main criticisms by the side of the road. Not only that Palin helped him a lot more than Obama's safe pick of Biden.
Now in a desperation move, Obama has decided to go negative and has told the 527's to also go hard negative.
The move to negative makes Obama come across as weak and desperate. He plays a lot better as the positive candidate. He had a great opportunity to stick it to McCain over his recent negative ads but made the mistake to try an beat McCain at the negative add game. I think this was a huge mistake on his part, should have just left the 527's do the dirty work while he stayed positive and made McCain look like the bad guy. With his newest ad, he losses all right to claim moral outrage over the McCain's neg ad campaign.
Not only that but his 1st attempt at a negative add sucks ass...
McCain is so out of touch he doesn't know how to use a computer or email.
The Repub's will have a field day with this because the reason McCain doesn't use a computer is not because he's illiterate about modern technology. The real reason is he has limited dexterity in his hands and fingers. The wounds he received as a POW, prevent him from using a keyboard.
Of all the issues they could attack MCain on they pick this one? I think this is going to come back an hunt Obama over the next 2 months. Talk about Major failure, It's almost as bad as Biden saying he wasn't the best pick for VP. Think about it, how much support will the Repub's be able drum up over Obama's stupid attempt to us McCain's war injuries against him.
Now because of a few stupid mistakes by Obama an some smart moves by McCain, McCain is not only ahead in the popular vote polls ( Which don't really matter ) but also moved ahead in the electoral college. I don't think anyone expect Obama to lose his rather sizable lead in the electoral college, his campaign has to be freaking out right now.
