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

wait, palin only did that 'well' with Couric because she was working from notes

The footage tomorrow night of Obama facing an empty podium is going to be so great.

Ole Miss chancellor was on the radio a few minutes ago saying "as far as I'm concerned, it's on."

it turns out AK gov can have lots of diplomatic contact with russia, but sarah palin chose not to get involved with any of those things...

...and talk about bizarre randy shuenemann shit like putin rearing his head and keeping an eye on a powerful nation.

Halperin calls Jim Lehrer - the moderator of the debate - the most important person in the election right now who isn't McCain or Obama

Obama opens double-digit lead in Michigan

i am actually afraid of Palin vs. Putin

maybe he would kiss her belly as a friendly Russian greeting. or Bristol's or something.

i'm not saying the campaign suspension will be a successful campaign strategy -- i think the final analysis will take shape after the debate tomorrow and hashed out in detail on the sunday shows -- but it's a typical mccain attention-grab move, and one that has momentarily pushed the OTHER big story about mccain & the economy (ie davis) out of the way for now.

dude is so obsessed with 'honor' -- i hope at one of the debates obama will draw a sword just so mccain can run upon it out of reflex.

I wonder if Jim Lehrer will run out of questions and just open it up to the audience.

"As GOP presidential nominee John McCain put it in a recent interview: "Alaska is right next to Russia; Sarah Palin understands that."

Talk about setting bar low.

(probably not, of course, but I like the image of him swiveling uncomfortably in his chair a little, before he just gives up and starts calling on random students. 'You there, in the SEC sweatshirt!')

He might think licking his hand and smoothing down someone's hair is some sort of American show of affection and do that to one of the family. Hopefully not Todd.

dude is so obsessed with 'honor'

his belief in his great personal honor - and his ironic kibbitzing with his various boyfriends - is what gives him meaning against the gaping maw

lol @ Drudge: PAPER: Could Hillary still come back?

lol Hillary should volunteer to be the Republican nominee while McCain is off grandstanding!

just grab the crazy guy from the nearest bar and prop him up

(probably not, of course, but I like the image of him swiveling uncomfortably in his chair a little, before he just gives up and starts calling on random students. 'You there, in the SEC sweatshirt!')

I have never seen any human being on the planet earth whatsoever wear an SEC sweatshirt.

let's start a rumor that Palin is going to replaced with H. Clinton. Maybe we can get on snopes!

HOT POLITICAL RUMOR: McCain/Clinton????

btw GIS for "sec sweatshirt" takes 9 pages to get NSFW. That's about as "long" as I've seen to "get that far".

I have never seen any human being on the planet earth whatsoever wear an SEC sweatshirt.

Really? Michigan/Ohio has plenty of Big Ten shirts, I figured that other conferences would have the same.

I mean, there might be SEC sweatshirts for sale out there, but ain't nobody wearing them.

Well for one thing people actually care about the Big 10 as a gestalt entity; no one cares about the SEC en masse.

lol this is the only sweatshirt in the SEC store

Now, if Leher leans back and says, "Yes, you in the Dixie Outfitter apparel..." the whole room might stand up.

no one cares about the SEC en masse.

ah there ya go. Learn something new every day.

it's pronounced bay-ner, fyi, xxp

I hardly do anything en masse!

If Michigan plays against Tennessee or Alabama, I'm rooting for Michigan.

is that a regional thing

This guy would never never never wear an SEC sweatshirt:

can't keep your boehner from my regions, huh, deej?

yr fantasies go here

Guys, guys, this is a politcal thread. Get a room.

Boehner: the family who lived in the next block from me growing up pronounced it the way gabb cites.

xpost GAH NO.

deej already has a room and is very upset that i refuse to come by

http://punditkitchen.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/political-pictures-sarah-palin-family-russia-background.jpg

I know a guy named Boehler who pronounces his name like Baylor.

PALIN: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land-- boundary that we have with-- Canada. It-- it's funny that a comment like that was-- kind of made to-- cari-- I don't know, you know? Reporters--

COURIC: Mock?

PALIN: Yeah, mocked, I guess that's the word, yeah.

damn, Katie

we have to keep an eye on gabnebb because, you know, he might rear his head and come into our airspace

i think she was starting to say "caricature" but she wasn't able to remember the word halfway through. the couric interview is hard to watch.

Now, if Leher leans back and says, "Yes, you in the Dixie Outfitter apparel..." the whole room might stand up.

aw c'mon, it ain't Starkville

Meine Freunde, œ (in old spelling and now ö) should be pronounced a bit more like the e in meh, I think.

I can't get more than 30 seconds into the thing without having to turn it off. It could be Pavlovian aversion therapy in a glorious multiplicity of ways.

so is this the strategy? stonewall the passage of the bailout package to make it look as though mccain had a hand in the negotiations? fucking fucker.

Btw, Gabb, you misspelled 'bi' in your response to me.

We run the risk of getting played here. But this is the big time, Obama, show your stuff.

that's the backup strategy and will hunt about as well as John Kerry.
