2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with ... we're ill about this position that we have been put in.

[komedy palin porn 'shop goes here]

Because to read your posts on a daily basis is to trudge straight into 16 hours of pure disappointment.

Full day.

So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade

lol

missed one!

I want to thank Chris for doing this... and everybody here so much. It just pulled me through a really hard period. Anyway, I couldn't have done it without you. I don't know what I'm saying. I really hated myself before I came here, so I'm trying to see myself, hopefully, more as I am. More... more positive, like seeing the pluses. I think it's slowly opening up now. People's minds, like educating and, and AIDS and... and other types of diseases because... because it is a disease, because it's out there and we just have to be more aware of it. We have to make people aware of it and, even ourselves, like, going, reading labels... and going into buildings...

To Carol!

lbj lost those states because he was running against goldwater who voted against the civil rights act

xxxxp to smuggneb

no shit. and irrelevant - my point is his southern populism gave him no 'cover' for being more liberal than jfk.

Do not let them come over here and attempt again what they accomplished here, and that was some destruction.

the lesser acknowledged web works of charlotte. SOME DESTRUCTION!

oh wait making a SOME PIG crack is sexism right

A reader:

It seems to me that on Wednesday each candidate did what he was most comfortable doing - McCain showed leadership and his desire to get something accomplished; Obama campaigned.

Seriously, Obama ads from here on out should just be extended clips of this interview. No music, no commentary, except someone at the beginning saying "Sarah Palin on...[topic]." Maybe even pitch it as a series of Sniglet-like things. Palin-isms. Like those crappy gift books of Bush malaprops, only as a campaign tool. No smears, no "he said she said" - it's all SHE SAID and it's all EMBARASSINGLY DUMB.

also they should photoshop her head onto a chick in a bikini

yeah but then you get the voters who are all "this candidate has no fucking clue when it comes to the important issues of the day, other than what she is told by her right-wing message overlords... JUST LIKE ME! she got my vote, yuip yup."

then we all win

xp

okay so now that a deal is reached McCain still won't do the debate

I'm sorry but Clinton is totally wrong about McCain here - obviously this has been done in bad faith.

Increasingly, I feel she was ill-advised to turn the sound down during the Tina Fey parody.

Also, stop photoshopping Putin's head onto my sexy bikini pictures!

still waiting for palin to get back to couric with those examples of when john mccain supported regulation

putin already has sexy bikini pictures i think

need her photoshopped into:

"We have an incredibly stable race," said McInturff, who insisted that the campaign's internal tracking has not revealed any volatility in public opinion over the past 2� weeks as the financial crisis has unfurled. Professing respect for the Post-ABC pollsters, he added, "I don't think these results are at all indicative of what's happening in the campaign."

"The race," he said, "is margin of error nationally." The poll-tracking website RealClearPolitics.com shows Obama currently with an aggregate 3.2 percentage-point edge in an average of national polls.

McInturff also suggested that historic polling models being used are obsolete because they are unable to factor in what is expected to be record turnout--he predicts 125 million--and unprecedented excitement. "Lots and lots of people no one has ever seen before" are going to show up and vote in this election, he said.

lmmmmmao @ "campaign's internal tracking" & the idea that increased voter turn-out is all young mccainiacs

"there's a bunch of young urban voters registering for the first time this year - you can't count mccain out just yet!"

lol

urban

they could do ANYTHING - they are YOUNG and full of UNPREDICTABLE VITALITY!

you're forgetting about the pitbulls and the hockey moms, they will decide this thing

lotsa pitbulls in urban areas, that's all I'm saying

it's already lost in the shuffle but tha vimeo link i posted was a sarah silverman bit that's going around. pretty funny.

man, I can't handle this many lafffs in one day

so if crashing and burning is an inappropriate metaphor for McCain here, can we get some alternative suggestions...?

it's funny if you like silverman

cratering, xp

guys, i'm starting to feel a little more settled now. mccain and palin are such a mess right now that i can't see them winning this thing, the convention bounce has been completely nullified and palin is like a deer caught in the headlights these days.

yeah, a hot sexy librarian type deer that you want to cover with whipped cream

cell phone users for mccain/palin

tina fey as sarah palin was about 10x hotter than the real thing imo

obv

hey jeff i know you think i'm some kind of secret racist hypocrite so you follow me around calling out my posts like nate patrin pt2 but what i'm talking aobut is that i've been working at the campaign for change office downtown to help register voters under 25 who live in fulton county, meaning metro atlanta

Today was hardly the first time John McCain has put Country First by showily "suspending" his campaign for the White House. On March 31, 1999, a week before his scheduled "official announcement" confirming the months-old news that he was running for president, and a week after Bill Clinton sent bombers over Kosovo, McCain announced that "It's not appropriate at this time to launch a political campaign."

How'd that work for him politically? According to sympathetic biographer Robert Timberg,

His decision amounted to a masterful political stroke. The Washington Post's Mary McGrory said that "professional politicians of both parties were wowed by McCain's beau geste.... McCain has made himself the de facto Republican foreign policy spokesman, and is getting yards of publicity for a non-event." The kudos kept pouring in, as did even more demands for him to appear on news-oriented TV talk shows. On one day alone, Monday, April 5, he could be seen arguing his case on Fox News's Crier Report, CNN's Larry King Live, PBS's Charlie Rose, two programs on CNBC, and two more on MSNBC, according to the Post's Dan Balz. Balz quoted one Republican strategist as labeling the conflict in Kosovo "All McCain, all the time." By week's end, syndicated columnist Mark Shields, on CNN's Capital Gang, said, "Let me just say in thirty-five years in Washington, I have never seen a debate dominated by an individual in the minority party as I've seen this one dominated by John McCain."

As Jake Tapper reported, in a May 1999 Salon piece that began with the phrase "First, a confession: Sen. John McCain almost seduced me":

"It tells people, here's a guy who doesn't need consultants to tell him what he believes in," says Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., another McCain 2000 co-chairman. "Contrast that with who's been leading this country for the last seven years."

"He's surged in New Hampshire," brags Warren Rudman. "He went from 3 percent to 15 percent in just a month."

As Sen. Gordon Smith puts it, "He's won the Kosovo primary."

puppetmaster - that comment wasn't a dig at you. sorry you're so sensitive about race.

Bob Barr wants debate sugar

The Senator’s left eye seems even more droopy than usual these days — is there something behind his campaign postponement he’s not telling us?The internet suggests Bell’s Palsy as a possibility, or some type of stroke — and you should always trust what the internet says about medical conditions.
