No offense gentlemen, but I think y'all really bombed with Governor Palin.
Hmmm, card carrying liberal, proclaiming a "bombing" with the Palin pick. Now, who'd a thunk that? 
Seriously though, the more denunciations and proclaimations of just how bad this pick was by the established left, the more I realize just how great a pick it was
Socialist, not a liberal.
Oh, my apologies.........though in all honesty, I don't see alot of difference between the 2 outside of better civility and efforts at objectivity from our saloon socialist
As I said, I could be completely wrong.
Given the consistent amount of feedback I'm seeing, I'd say my original
..as I see it.. thread, is for the most part, dead on currently. Fatman, a staunch middle of the roader has referenced some good comments. Miss Cynthia, an Obama supporter is now looking towards McCain, via his VP pick. Bt, who had no intentions of voting McCain, is now considering it, based on the Palin pick. Again, pretty much the ones I'm seeing who hate the Palin pick, think it absolutely doomed McCain's chances are
those who had no intention of voting for McCain in the 1st place.
My in-laws love her. My father-in-law likes that she is an NRA member and hunts. My mother-in-law likes the fact that she's a woman and against abortion. Yet, they're the opposite of your joke. Card-carrying Republicans who were voting McCain before he chose Palin. Now they are voting with more enthusiasm.
"Joke"? What joke would that be? Sounds alot like my reference to the Republicans that were intending to vote McCain no matter the pick. Just so happens the pick gave them, as you say "more enthusaism"
I think that she comes with a lot of baggage. I'm not sure that people want another leader who uses his/her position to do whatever the hell he/she wants whether it is in the purview of that position or not. But maybe they do.
Now we're sort of back to that point you claimed you were denying last time, about how I asked what VP candidate was going to be everything to everyone. Yea, she has some baggage. Pretty much everyone would have some form. So far, the baggage I see is minimal. Most of it in fact, demonstrates the amount of character and strength she possesses. This "troopergate" if anything is a (+) in my book as well. As more detail comes out, especially if the left keeps trying to villify her family vs her positions, again "doesn't bode well for Obama"
