We dodged the bullet of Palin and McCain's bad judgement of picking her.

Let's face it, Palin was given a raw deal by the press anyway. I seriously doubt ANY of the candidates could have answered the questions given her by Katie Couric. That woman's a real piece of work. "So Mrs. Palin, You were given notice yesterday that they want you to be a running mate as VP! Please give us SPECIFIC directions how you are going to destroy Al-Queida. Then Specifically tell us how you will fix the economy, etc etc." The result was she got a bum rap as someone that was not intelligent. And so what if she mistakenly called africa a country and not a continent. Al gore couldn't even spell potato. Does anyone remember the fiasco of asking Bush some questions about foreign countries? But he got elected anyway. The truth is: Sarah Palin is a strong woman with strong leadership skills (as a governor of the largest state) who just happens to have a strong accent and was running for the wrong party. So the press slaughtered her. Every single study done to this effect showed that the press wasn't being unbiased this time. And if 3 out of 4 reports on the news you see about the republican ticket are negative (a proven ratioo) then eventually it's going to brainwash people. The obama ticket had a more even ratio of close to 50/50.

Too late now...

You're just making excuses for a Republican.

Also it wasn't Al Gore that couldn't spell potato, it was Dan Quayle.

Not being able to spell potato concerns me less than not being able to name a single newspaper or know that 150k on clothes is excessive, no less some of it were for her family, an obvious breach of ethics.

you're right of course, since the press won't ever see your husband or children. Hillary clinton was never in the spotlight when Bill was president, so who cares how she's dressed? This stuff matters to some people. Obama's wife made headlines yesterday for "worst dressed spouse at an acceptance speech". Perhaps the democrats could have tossed some money her way. But it wasn't necessary. He was already rich from special interest groups tossing him money. Palin had to borrow money from aides. And who is saying it's "not proper"? It's not like the republican party is a federal body. It's private. But you're right. Let's dress her up in nieman marcus, and dress her husband and kids in flannel next to her. No one will notice...

And how many posts does it take to point out it was Dan Quayle? Whatever. If people don't think Al Gore is an idiot then maybe they should pay attention to his global warming movie.

as for the osama endorsement, a simple google will show you who he endorsed. He not only endorsed Obama, but he said if he was around in 1973 he would have bought mccain from the vietnamese.

Of course some people have flipped this around and claimed that osama clearly stating "i want obama as president" (there's a tape that was played on cnn) is reverse psychology because he really wanted mccain. That's totally ridiculous. Any link you find saying so has "humor" as a keyword. But what can you do. I wanted Hillary.

Go ahead and plug your ears and make excuses. Ignore that McCain's own disgruntled Republican Aides made these allegations, first reported on Fox News no less.

I might buy your argument about "$150k" isn't that bad, if the Republicans haven't been so angry about the 200 or 400 dollar haircuts for Bill Clinton and John Edwards in the past.

I'm on the other side of the coin. I think Global Warming is real, and that Al Gore made a good movie. I believe the vast majority of the World's Climate Scientists more than Conservatives trying to protect business interests or stick to their anti-environmentalist dogma.
