VPILF!

[NTIman]

Some of you folks crack me up. Her daughter/son (besides the VPILF comment) is more important to some of you than her executive experience as governor. She brings more of a change potential than Obama and has more experience at bringing change to government, yet she is only the VP Candidate. The Obama organization first tried to attack her lack of experience (immediately after the announcement) and then realized that wouldn't work since she had more. Now the result is to smear. This is the sign of desperation.

I have remained relatively silent on my position in this because I had not completely made up my mind and still haven't. I just can't believe the Democrats don't have a 20 point lead. They were given this on a silver platter due to Bush's poor approval ratings and yet one week after the DNC they have a whopping 5 point lead?

Obama made a miserable choice for VP as far as I am concerened by not choosing Hillary (I voted for Hillary in the primary not McCain or any other republican). Hillary had the experience that I wanted to see. She has seen what to do and what not to do (screw the interns).

I do give most of you credit for being informed and being active (more than I have seen for these protestors at both conventions that have no clue who Biden, Cheney, Rice or Crist are). Keep the discussion coming.

God Bless!

I agree completely with what you have said. I'm an Obama supporter, and how he is not blowing away McCain right now, I have no idea. I don't think that McCain is a bad choice, but given the last 8 years, I don't see how a democrat could be doing so bad.

I think Obama was unbelievably screwed no matter who he picked for VP though. If he had picked Hillary, then conservatives would have said that he himself picked Hillary, because he knew he was weak in experience and weak in terms of getting votes from blue collar voters. But they can also bash him now that he didn't pick Hillary, given the support she had during the primaries.
