Is the Obama Camapign looking up

Crisis in the Maccain Campaign

from JoeUser Forums

Politics is an unforgiving game.  Barack Obama delivered a splendid sppech at Denver while accepting the nomination of his party to the Presidecy of the United States. He quite rightly laid out his domestic and foreign policy and set to rest the niggling doubts that some people had about his ability to lead the country in a time of war. It seems that the Republicans have forgotten that the US constitution makes the President the Commander-in- chief and not the other way around. Barack Obama handled his pitch to be the next President in a forthright and dignified manner. I have now no doubt that he will be the next president.

Maccain lived up to his reputation of being an independent macerick. By choosing a young and inexprienced Sarah Palin as his running mate, Maccain hoped to attract the Clinton voters, essentially the white, educated and working women. However, he seems to have forgotten the basic fact that women who vote for Clinton will be pro-choice and probably opposed to the NRA lobby, and the candidature of Sarah Palin will hardly appeal to the Clintonites. Moreover, the Democratic Party has carefully papered over its yawning cracks and for the time being is solidly behiond Obama. With the demand that Palin be withdrawn form the race gathering strength it is advantage Obama.

Demand from who?  The looney left?  Democrats are so scared of Palin, it's almost funny to see them and the media doing whatever they can to attack her.  Obama is losing.....even the media knows this.

You really do need to stop drinking the kool-aid and get out and see what the swing voters are saying.  Right now, they are saying a big loss for Obama.  Palin was everything they wanted to see, biden was nothing of what they wanted to see.

As ID says, the loons are kicking and screaming, and getting their lunch handed to them with force.  The best that Obama was able to muster coming out of his convention was a 5 point bump, lower than any candidate since Bob Dole in 96.  And you saw what happened to him.

No.

While Palin was basically mentioned in passing by last nights speakers, Palin was all that CNN could talk about at the end of the night.  The MSM is running scared.  Come on, they've even got Lindsey Lohan to offer her thoughts on how Palin is dealing with her daughter!  This is so far beyond the pot calling the kettle black.  More like the lump of coal calling the snow black.

Too early for this prediction. A large pecent of the undecided voters are still in a quandry.

Palin's performace today was good and she touched all the right bases and made the right noises about energy, Iraq,  Taxes, jobs etc. But she does not know how to achioeve these things. Her attempt to mock Obama by passing herself off as a "community organiser" was shocking and in bad taste. She was a mayor and Obama workedi with a Harvarsd degree behind him, on the streets, mean streets of Chicago, for the disadvantaged.

I have a strong suspicion that you, and a lot of others currently in either denial or apoplexy (the MSM falls into the latter group), grossly underestimate this woman.

I think we may have caught our first glimpse of a woman who will eventually be President, maybe the first woman to do so.  I believe Rudy was right - Obama looked to the past to shore up his campaign; McCain looked to the future to shore up his.

1. NO one knows how to achieve those things - that is why they have not been achieved.  So why did you not slam ObamaBiden with the same thing?  Bias

2.Her mocking was funny!  Which goes to show 2 things again.  LIberals have no sense of humor, and your Bias

3. Harvard degrees are like moldy sliced bread.  As has recently been shown, they are very over priced considering the value they bestow.  And in the end, they mean no more than any other degree, only what is done with them.  IN this case, virtually nothing.

4. The "mean streets" of chicago are that way BECAUSE of Obama.  It is his policies while a politician up there that, while perhaps not creating them, surely perpetuated them.

LOL, and I suppose Obama does? But what I don't understand is why is Palin being compared to Obama, i though McCain was the one running for President? Why is Biden being left out of this loop? Or is the obvious really that obvious?

I will never understand why an action is considered good or bad depending on who uses it. It's ok for the Democrats to mock but  of bad taste when done to them. Talk about being unfair.

Please Obama may have worked with the people in the streets but that does not make him some kind of street wise pro.

Bahu, this is quite shocking that you would respond this way.  Obama's campaign went out trying to belittle her mayorship of a town pop of 9K.  Now when she responds it's 'bad taste'?  Maybe I missed the logic?

Yes they are. They are looking up asking God why he is doing this to them and praying they still have a chance to win. I mean, they were happy just a few days before when hurricane Gustav was heading towards New Orleans as they believed God was on their side.

I think Barack Obama, and I am also with him on this, did not make any personal difficulty that Palin may have with one of her daughters a subject of public controversy. Family is off limit.

Now do you remember the comments made by John Maccain on Chelsea Clinton when her father ran for the first time. Why is no one bringing up yhr mermbership of thwe American Independence Party that Sarah Palin is supposed to have held sometinme back.

No one bringing up? :LOL: I guess the LA Times, Boston Globe, Ny Times, AP and UK Telegraph are nobodies now! You are funny! The reason it is not gaining traction (BIG difference from not being brought up) is that it is a so what? So what?

No, I don't.  A reference to a quote would be nice when you make such a claim.

Key words being 'supposed to have held' - not only was it 'brought up,' it was her husband Todd who was a member for awhile, not Palin herself.

Careful Bahu, your knickers are showin'.

Utilizing one's personal/family difficulty for political gain should be 'off limit.'  Agreed.

Nope I don't remember John McCain commenting on Chelsea Clinton.  Do you have a link?


Secondly I have seen no records yet that Sarah joined the AIP. We do know that anytime she held an office in Alaska she was registered as a Republican.  Now, it is possible that it is her husband Todd that you are referring to?

As usual I was right. I had predicted this long before the ethics Committee indicted Sahara Palin with abuse of power in connection with the sacking of the state trooper, who was her former Brother-in-law. She will certainly hurt the prospect of John Maccain in the upcominfg election.

I am not sure if it's Palin's negative influence, or simply that people just aren't trusting McCain to do what's right in those time of economical trouble. What many on the board has been seen as "leadership" on the part of McCain during the crisis seems to have been seen as political opportunism by a lot of people (or so the polls say. I am not claiming to know anything about the reality of the people's mindset!)

There was no indictment.  And no crime.  Better re-read on it.  And Palin is not going away.  The fact that so many on the left want her to shows why she is an asset and not a liability - they dont demand things from strenght and if she was a real liability, they would be cheering her on, not demanding her withdrawal.  Fear is their factor.  If Obama pulls away, you will see less hate mongering about Palin because she will be a non-factor.  But so far, she is a positive for McCain.

I agree - If you are for McCain, you see leadership.  If you are for Obama you see opportunism.  And if you are conservative and for neither - you see a bunch of hoo-haw.  Or as Shakespeare would say - much ado about nothing.

As for people's mindset - I have problems with figuring my wife's!  I am not about to try to figure out everyone else's. ;)
