We were winning just fine without full support of Hillary Voters. Anyone who was already not voting for Obama because of Hillary, still won't now. Big whoop. There are gonna be a lot of people pissed that McMittens was not chosen.
Anyway, I'm happy enough with the news of the day:
National Gallup Tracking Obama 49, McCain 41 Obama +8
Florida Mason-Dixon McCain 44, Obama 45 Obama +1
New Mexico CNN/Time Obama 53, McCain 40 Obama +13
Nevada CNN/Time McCain 44, Obama 49 Obama +5
And these were taken during the second day of the convention 
enjoy the polls now. this could be as good as it will ever get for Obama

Palin? Ha - today is the day that McCain lost the election. Dan Quayle, anyone? The only reason she was selected was to pander to women voters and as an attempt to persuade former Hillary voters - that's just not going to happen as anti-choice, pro-creationism, anti-science loser. Absolutely pandering that is so transparent. "Hey, any woman will do to attract the supposed PUMA vote."
Biden is going to destroy her in the VP debates.
Palin has zero national experience both in holding office or campaigning. She will make Qualye look like he knows what he's doing. There goes McCain's "lack of experience" argument.
Google her messy State Troopers problem.
Her endorsement of Obama's energy plan.
Her less than 2 year "executive experience" is one of little strength - Alaska has the population of about 600,000 people. Big deal. My city has the population of about 5 million.
I can already see the Democratic attack: Do you want the former part-time mayor of 6,000 in the Oval Office? She has a bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism and spent a good portion of her life running in beauty pageants.
Palin picks up zero additional electoral votes. Alaska is a red state anyway.
Google the amount of pork-barrel spending in Alaska. Palin has done very little in reforming this.
Does Palin know the difference between Shiite and Shia? Probably not. The swing voter simply will not trust this lightweight to assume the Presidency which will be made a concern due to McCain's age and health issues.
Ha. Good decision McSame

So apparently Sarah Palin, our favorite Alaskan governor, has a sister, and her sister was married to a state trooper named Wooten until they went through a “bitter divorce.” And then Palin and her husband and various others talked to Wooten’s boss, the public safetey commissioner, and said…Well, nobody knows what they said, but the public safety commissioner felt PRESSURED to FIRE WOOTEN. But he didn’t! And then mysteriously he got fired instead.
So the question is, was Public Safety Commission Walt Monegan fired because he didn’t want to get rid of the governor’s sister’s ex-husband, or was he fired because he kept stealing people’s Cokes out of the fridge? Anyway, now people want a big investigation into this scandal, because the fired boss doesn’t know why he was fired.

Quote:
In a press conference this afternoon, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) conceded that someone inside her administration pressured the state's Department of Public Safety to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten, Palin's former brother-in-law, who is now embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Palin's sister.
Palin's statement is the latest in what has come to be known around Alaska as "Wooten-gate." The scandal began on July 11, when Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan was fired from his post with little explanation, a move that quickly raised questions in Alaska.

2 years ago Barry was a state legislator. Since then he has become even more useless, a Senator who has spent his entire term running for another election.

Yes. Governor of Alaska beats absentee Senator any day. Further, in case you haven't noticed, she isn't the top of the ticket. At any rate, she is way above Barry, who has never done anything. Not. One. Thing. Ever.

Really? Over 22 years as Senator he was absent the whole time? Because Barry has been absent his entire Senate career running for election. ALL of it. Not to mention all of those "present" votes while a state legislator. Holy shit, does the guy ever show up for work?

Wow... and she's vehemently anti gay rights, and I'm not talking about marriage..
Quote:
“America may not know much about Sarah Palin, but based on what our community has seen of her, we know enough,” said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. “Sarah Palin not only supported the 1998 Alaska constitutional amendment banning marriage equality but, in her less than two years as Governor, even expressed the extreme position of supporting stripping away domestic partner benefits for state workers. When you can’t even support giving our community the rights to health insurance and pension benefits, it’s a frightening window into where she stands on equality.”
Quote:
Prior to being elected governor, Palin supported the 1998 constitutional amendment barring marriage for same-sex couples and has said she would support a ballot measure overturning a state supreme court decision mandating benefits for domestic partners of state employees

Did you miss where she, as governor, vetoed a bill denying government benefits to gay couples?
