Jack & Jill Politics

Ouch.

Amazing how two experiences of the same event can be so different.

I simply walked out of there and walk back to the hotel.

Having experienced the disorganization of the buses to and from the Pepsi center during the rest of the convention, I had no doubt transportation from Invesco would be challenging, to say the least.

I love Walter Mosley.

Oh well. Maxwell tickets go on sale tomorrow! It's been tooo long….

She is feeling her stock rise. Obama needs her big time now, cuz Ms. Sarah delivered tonight. This election will not be about any of the failed Bush policies. He wasn't even there. It's all about Sarah now. Nobody likes McCain. The Dems had better prepare better.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I think she did a great job. She's a lying wench but she looked and sounded believable. We are not her target audience. Obama's response was weak.

“The speech that Governor Palin gave was well delivered, but it was written by George Bush's speechwriter and sounds exactly like the same divisive, partisan attacks we've heard from George Bush for the last eight years. If Governor Palin and John McCain want to define 'change' as voting with George Bush 90% of the time, that's their choice, but we don't think the American people are ready to take a 10% chance on change.”

I'm sorry but that is LAME! They had the prepared speech and that's it! She brought a gun to this fight. Hillary stumbled with all the racism overkill. Sarah is not going to make that mistake. Republicans are breathing a sigh of relief. I don't know how the Independents feel. I can't wait to watch the interview with Bill O'LIEly tomorrow. This is gonna be a fight to the bitter end. Hillary is cackling away right now prepping for her 2012 run.

Roland rocks

I hate to say it but if Obama Biden doesn't come strong within the next 24 hours, we will be seeing McCain Palin inaugurated in January. Americans, and I've been saying this for a while now, but Americans in general are STUPID. Facts do not matter. Americans don't like facts. Americans don't like thinking. If we did, we wouldn't be in the jam we're in.

And above all, most white Americans fall for the American flag, apple pie, I love mom shit time after time. Obama Biden needs to come harder.

And don't count on Hillary getting her Bad Newz Kennels on. She and Bill probably sent a money order to Sarah Palin tonight.

I think you're right about Hillary.

Texas: Great post!! Roland – the strategist, seems to have lost his “Independent” mantle!! :>) :>) :>)

Saw this on DailyKos.'

Wish someone would make it into a t-shirt.

Jesus was a Community Organizer

Logically, Hillary would be the person to sic on Sarah Palin. But, Hillary's not going to get her Fight Night on unless Sarah Palin attacks HER. Saracuda isn't going to attack Hillary, and if Hillary does go on the “attack” it will be very weak and tepid.

Karl Rove handled this beautifully. He saw Obama not attacking Hillary, so he found a baracuda that he knew Obama nor Biden would attack. The GOP is going to use Saracuda to attack Obama while McCain stays “above the fray.”

If Obama doesn't push back, he's weak.

If Obama pushes back, they cry sexism.

If Obama ignores Sarah, he's dismissive and sexist.

Ideally, the surrogates would spring into action and jump Sarah but we haven't seen them come to Obama's defense before now, so there's no reason to think they will spring into action now.

The best person to destroy Saracuda is a PUMA, like Carville. But even though he clowned her the other night, would he do it for the long haul?

YES! Now this is the type of response that needs to be made.

town: RE: Carville – He's NOT going any further!! He is still “hatin' ” on billary's loss. And he is NOT “full-throated” for Mr. Obama!!

CO-SIGNING on all points!! :>) :>)

Where da People Of Color??? :>) :>)

rikyrah: Good find!!! Thanks!! :>) :>)

While I agree with most of this, I think you underestimate the something that is stirring in America right now.

I'm mad.

But I'm not at all worried.

I have a BREAT feeing about this.

They overplayed their hand.

And they are going to pay for it.

I'm pissed, but I'm not worried. Imagine how pissed the Rethugs were last Thursday watching Barack's star shine – oh hell imagine how mad they've been for a while now.

Palin will appeal to their base and some unknowing voters and maybe a some racist rural voters, but I believe McCain killed himself with independents and moderates. Bad judgment and she has been vetted yet.

The RNC Klan Rally may backfire on McPain because they are spitting in the eye of their best buds, the press. McPain is basically telling the press “don't challenge us about our lies or we'll cry sexism”.

I do think the Obama campaign needs to come harder. However, I don't think they need to come directly at Miss Sarah. It's time to whip up the press, especially the females, against Miss Sarah. B/c if it's one thing women hate, it's mean bitches who get over because of their looks or connections. That's why Cindy McCain ain't really trying to be out there — women don't take too kindly to the other woman.

Sarah is a bully; that's how she got to where she is. Only 2 things will take out a bully:

Knocking them smooth out in front of their buddies

Getting their acolytes to turn against them.

Women need to be turned off to Saracuda, and it needs to be women who stomp her ass. Obama and Biden won't do it directly. Everyone knows it, which is why they tapped a white woman to roll up on Obama, and make no mistake her job will be to attack Barack and Michelle Obama every chance she gets.

I think the primary target for Sarah Palin will be Michelle Obama. She got her digs in tonight and she'll get her digs in at Barack from time to time, and I guarantee you she will go on all the women's chatfests and get her digs in at Michelle Obama every chance she gets. She will make contrasts between herself and Michelle Obama every chance she gets. The GOP knows if they run on the issues they are sunk, so they are going to run on emotion because it works every time.

And HIllary is sipping back some Crown Royal hoping that Sarah finishes the job.

It's really sad that McCain has to hide behind a woman who has no basis in criticizing Obama when she can't even get her house in order.

I'm usually the one going berserk, but I actually like Barack's response. She doesn't get a rise out of him, and he virtually ignores her.

This woman is taunting Barack. Can you imagine if he let a political “nobody” get to him by flying off the handle?

Sarah said the words, but she had no emotion. Do you guys really believe these were her words??? These are the Karl Roves and other Strategists playing ventriloquist. They coached her, but she still couldn't deliver with any emotion.

How sharp can Sarah be? Left to her own devices, she pressured for the trooper's firing BY E-MAIL!!!! She copied her husband(a private citizen) on confidential emails that she's now refusing to release, citing privilege. How dumb is that???

I kinda feel sorry for her. There is NO way the Republicans are going to let her have any real power, or move up in the party after McCain loses this election.

Tonight, and for the last 2 days…I've felt I was watching a dying breed. Like the dinosaurs just before the asteroid hit. Relics from the past grasping desperately for their fading power. These men and women have known for over a year that Barack Obama had an unbeatable organization. Yet, they could not adjust their game plan to meet him! in the 11th hour, they're taking risks, trying to “game change”. It is finished! Barack is going to win.

I got a thrill watching this Video of Joe Biden in Florida. It's an older audience..which is good. He tells a wonderful story of why he's doing this….

I love that!! Thanks so much.

RIDE OR DIE Joe is cracking me up

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

Some of you thought Obama's response tonight was tepid. See what his campaign said about Romney:

“Barack Obama has said that families are 'off-limits', and we thought that John McCain agreed,” Obama adviser Anita Dunn said. “But tonight, John McCain's handpicked attack dog, Mitt Romney, exposed the fake outrage that the Republicans have been peddling all week as the blatant hypocrisy that it is.”

“The McCain team's disgusting attack on Barack Obama's wife shows they would rather generate false outrage to distract from their own problems than talk about the issues facing the American people,” Dunn said. “Mitt Romney's attack on a candidate's wife is as pathetic as his failed presidential campaign.”

taritac: Good find!!! IT'S ON!! :>) :>)

TruthSeeker: Obviously – - Hillary's play book is really being used!!! AMAZING!!

DISGUSTING!!!

Whew! Shaking my head Deep Breaths!!!

lyndonray: Hey! :>) Co-signing!

Maybe this is typical in other “cultures”, BUT, licking your hand and then smearing it over the baby's hair in order to put it in place????? ewwwwwwww!!!
