Obama versus McCain (versus the rest) - Page 129

It's scaring me more about how Ohio's "independents" are ok with segregating, as Dark Cloud put it, "teh gays".

Not only that, but the processes used to remove some of the pollutants require energy to run, so you need to burn even more coal because you need more energy.

Give me a break:

Ifill asks if there's a plan for withdrawal for Iraq...

Palin says that Obama has voted against funding the troops, first, and then says because the surge worked, we cannot afford to lose. Which... doesn't answer the question?

Edit: And Biden calls her on it, and refers to the timeline Obama has already called on. Well done.

Not really. There are new technologies coming that can reduce CO2 emissions to 98.7% clean. You guys got to stop thinking that nothing will change in the way the energy (all kinds) is generated. Now is not the place to discuss this since nearly everyone is in silly troll mode.

okay - this is not the thread for this - i'm going to break it into another thread, but the political ass-kissing of the Jewish community is really ridiculous.

honestly, Israel is a shit-ally. WTF do they really do for us? In fact, you could argue they've gotten us into more trouble then they have provided benefit.

and i've felt that way for years. not to insult any jewish-folk on the board, but really...Israel is pretty much a two-bit country in a horrible part of the world that costs us a ton to support (not necessarily strictly financial)

It would also be in a relatively stable condition for a considerable number of years if it were, just for example, nuked into a black glass wasteland too.

Point being, stability may not be the only goal to consider.

Didn't get any response from the approval rating though.

SirFozzie · 10-02-2008, 08:59 PM

It's unbelieveable.. she had a low expectations barrier and I think she's tripped over that.. How many times has she failed to answer the question AT ALL, never mind completely?

Biden has got to stop the deep breath intakes, and the sighs.

sterlingice · 10-02-2008, 09:00 PM

I think this is turning out not quite as people expected. At least from what I'm seeing.

-Palin is coming off as ok. Not great, but not bad. Certainly better than her recent interviews. Considering the expectations were "don't run weeping out of the stadium = teh win", she's beaten those.

-Biden has come to play. No stumbling over himself, no horrible foot in mouth (so far). He's been almost perfect- doesn't attack Palin at all, has done great supporting his candidate, has done great showing how good he is. His ratings on CNN constantly run in the 70s and multiple questions have touched over 90.

So what does that mean?

Um... slight contradiction?

rowech · 10-02-2008, 09:03 PM

I plan on voting for McCain. Truth be told, if Biden was running for president I'd be voting for him instead. You guys are overblowing what in the heck is happening here. First you reference a CNN deal? Come on. You think that's neutral?

Biden is doing exactly what he set out to do and Palin is doing exactly what she set out to do. Neither has made a terrible blunder as of yet, both are getting in nice jabs against their opponents and defending their guy well. Palin has avoided some questions......just as Biden has. She's more than held her own.

She's doing fine. No Couric moments at all.

She's definitely not answering the questions, but neither did Obama or McCain in their debate. Will be interesting to see if the pundits jump on that.

Biden is doing a good job of walking the line -- he's forceful but hasn't bullied her.

Oh come on he's lying! Not even Obama's is that big.

View Poll Results: Who will take the White House?
Obama	151	68.95%
McCain	63	28.77%
Surprise? (Maybe Mr. Trout?)	5	2.28%
Voters: 219. You may not vote on this poll
