Palin has run several businesses and still does.

I do. I think even without Hilary he would still need something to compete with the "historical" nature of Obama's campaign. You can't underestimate how exciting it is for folks to get caught up in all that. We, as a people, like firsts. Not too many "firsts," come along.

Now that issue is muted a bit because no matter who wins we will have progressed forward as a country and achieved another "first."

I never stated racism. I understand your jumping to that conclusion, though.

I think the question should be, How many blacks are Republicans?

But if they aren't the same, then how are they not?

That is what a smart person would ask.

This has got to be the most idiotically spun comparison list I have ever seen. Since when is Obama running against Palin?

And I think your usually level head and good judgment is coming unhinged in the face of such a power house VP pick. Desperation is a nasty smell.

Seems to me you are making a good case for Obama being Biden's VP pick.

And you'd be right.

SD is desperate.

Her first appearance was electrifying.

Agreed. I took a few minutes to catch her speech. Very composed, straight forward down to earth presentation, with a bit of underlying fiestyness about her.

FOX gave a bit of bio info on her as well.

Point guard on her BB team, lifelong NRA member, hunts, fishes, PTA, hockey Mom + she popped a kid in April. Do the math from the time she was elected.

This is a very busy Mom with 5 kids who manages an 80% approval rating and is pro ANWAR drilling. They listed more on her green record but didn't catch all of it, I'm sure it'll all come out quickly though.
