| Political Conversation and Debate This forum is not a temporary one. It will exist up to, and after the presidential elections. Some people want to talk or even argue politics, other's don't. Let's see if we can apply some reason and understanding to the debate. |

I'm still having issues deciding if I care at this point but that doesn't have a lot to do with Palin..... |

But, eh, 72 years old - cancer 4 times - there are entirely reasonable concerns.

Likewise, in recent weeks Palin's negatives have seriously hit the McCain ticket. If they are, as you profess, only voting for the top of the ticket, they shouldn't give a [censored]. But the voters do care, and in growing numbers they are rejecting her. Case in point - it is reported now that she was loudly booed during the "puck drop" at the Flyers game. But, think of it, if the "hockey mom" can't win over hockey fans, doesn't that say something about her sinking currency? |

Philly isn't her territory. That was a completely stupid decision made by the campaign but that in and of itself isn't surprising to me.... and as a side note, I don't know if I'd use Philly as the greatest of examples. I mean they DID cheer that a guy had a neck injury and they DID boo Santa Claus ![]() |

Palin (part-time) governs a State with a population roughly equivalent to Oklahoma City.

You want to talk about asymmetric, how about the Obama campaign railing against Palin's experience when the top of their ticket is just as weak in the experience area? That is yet ANOTHER thing the McCain campaign failed to exploit IMO. |

But, there may be more to this than simply location. Those rallies shown on the news are all very carefully screened. Cannot do that with a hockey game. I'd bet the "welcome" in any location would be less wonderful than the McCain campaign predicts. (Did I mention I agree with you that the McCain campaign is one of the worst run I've ever seen in my lifetime? Seriously, badly amateurish.) |

I didn't realize being a governor was required (or even preferred) for office. Bush was a governor, and look how that turned out.

Who's running the state while she's campaigning?

I think the McCain campaign is a mirror of what is going on within the GOP. It's a party in a state of flux. They had the PResidency and Congress for 6 full years for the first time since around the time of the Korean War and yet failed to do virtually anything they wanted to do going back as far as 2000 much less 1994. Sure 9/11 intervened, but while they could have made serious inroads into getting a lasting majority and legacy, we have a split electorate with sufficiently militarized wings on both sides I do wonder sometimes what the conclusion of the next 2 decades might be..... A lot of the Congress-critters in the GOP lost sight of what they got elected for and the electorate kicked them out starting really in 1998 but accelerating in 2004 and 2006. And the only people that truly should shoulder the blame are those people and the GOP "leadership" that kept saying everything was ok. Maybe being the minority in all ways shapes and forms will do them some good and re-focus them, but I kinda don't see it happening for a while unless Obama is truly as bad as I think he'll be sometimes....of course he'll have no help from his side either (Peloser is her own type of moron) so it might not be totally his fault either I guess.... |

Now seriously, what has Obama governed? |

Given the tenor of the campaign these last two weeks, I'd say he has governed his temper quite well.
