Answer: What Do you think?
I guess when McCain heard that 33+ million people watch O-TV on Wednesday, he panicked. Now McCain’s using HRC's play book to the letter. I can almost hear the discussion that took place:
JOHN MCCAIN: How did “that one” do with his commercial? (With clenched teeth)
RICK DAVIS: (McCain’s Chief Campaign Manager). Well according to Neilsen, the Commie pulled in 33 million.
MCCAIN: (Neck pulled back—blanked stare--but faced turns red) I don’t believe this [add curse word]. What are we going to do?
DAVIS: John, you need to humanize myself, maybe even shed a tear. But we got no more money in the kitty.
(Phone rings) What? Hey Steve [Steve Schmidt]. We need some more robo calls in Arizona?….Money?...Well sell some of Palin’s clothes. That whack job is not wearing them anyway.
MCCAIN: (Stares at the ceiling)….
DAVIS: Well we need a cheap way to get you exposure. What did Hillary do? Think, Rick, Think. (Fingers snapped) That’s it, you’ll go on SNL.
MCCAIN: (Eyes widened) Suppose my ratings are lower than Ms. Palin’s?
DAVIS: That’s a chance we need to take. Just remember, don’t force a smile, you look like a dying frog when you do that.
MCCAIN: Hey, you said that I should go on Larry King Live on Wednesday to offset that Ayers-loving Socialist’s infomercial. Now those liberal elite comedians are saying that the interview reminded them of the movie “The Bucket List.”
DAVIS: Well Hillary did it and it helped her.
MCCAIN: Yep. But didn’t she loose?
DAVIS: Yes, but she got a bump in the polls for a few days and that’s all you’ll need.
MCCAIN: Good point. Let’s do it.

Who really knows how a president will run his administration once he's in office. Let's not forget that your current GOP president was on paper beyond experienced. MBA from Harvard--that liberal elite school, and the governor of a state that has extensive ties and repeated contacts with its foreign neighbor (unlike Alaska); Bush 43 had a history of reaching across the aisle and enacting non-partisans laws.
We missed on perhaps the most important CLUE in determining how a candidate will run their administration: How they ran their election campaign. Shady campaign (Bush 43); shady administration (I need not recite here what I'm talking about). Erratic campaign (McCain); erratic administration. Disciplined campaign (Obama); disciplined administration.
And please don’t blame the so-called liberal media for McCain’s schizo campaign. As a student of politics, this may go down in history as the worst campaign ever.
Enough Said!!!
Hey you're not going to believe this:

Please Look at this clip and comment. If were that boy's mother, I would have kick the daylights outta him.
Why have a Spa day at one of your bosses' homes while prepping along a creek.
Talk about being up sh*t's creek without a paddle.
Ok: Bam is getting angry. Marueen Dowd of the NYT nails it:

GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. Sarah Palin didn’t say “thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. She just said “Thanks.”
You were raised by a single mother on food stamps — where does a guy with eight houses who was legacied into Annapolis get off calling you an elitist? And by the way, if you do nothing else, take that word back. Elite is a good word, it means well above average. I’d ask them what their problem is with excellence. While you’re at it, I want the word “patriot” back. McCain can say that the transcendent issue of our time is the spread of Islamic fanaticism or he can choose a running mate who doesn’t know the Bush doctrine from the Monroe Doctrine, but he can’t do both at the same time and call it patriotic.
They have to lie — the truth isn’t their friend right now. Get angry. Mock them mercilessly; they’ve earned it. McCain decried agents of intolerance, then chose a running mate who had to ask if she was allowed to ban books from a public library. It’s not bad enough she thinks the planet Earth was created in six days 6,000 years ago complete with a man, a woman and a talking snake, she wants schools to teach the rest of our kids to deny geology, anthropology, archaeology and common sense too? It’s not bad enough she’s forcing her own daughter into a loveless marriage to a teenage hood, she wants the rest of us to guide our daughters in that direction too? It’s not enough that a woman shouldn’t have the right to choose, it should be the law of the land that she has to carry and deliver her rapist’s baby too?
I don’t know whether or not Governor Palin has the tenacity of a pit bull, but I know for sure she’s got the qualifications of one. And you’re worried about seeming angry? You could eat their lunch, make them cry and tell their mamas about it and God himself would call it restrained. There are times when you are simply required to be impolite.
There are times when condescension is called for!
Nothing will make the GOP happier than to shift the narrative away from the economy by artificially stirring up controversy where they could accuse someone BIG of being “sexist” against Palin. Could that someone be Oprah Winfrey???
I recently received an email from a friend warning me of a small group of women in Florida who have created an e-petition to boycott Oprah’s Show. Why? Oprah did not want to have Palin on her show before the election. I was asked to DVR her shows to keep her ratings from potentially plummeting.
(For weeks I thought about whether Oprah could have Obama and McCain on her show—even before Palin was picked--and thought it was highly unethically for Oprah to have any candidate on her show since she’s publicly endorsed Obama.)
First I thought that the GOP would be silly to go after Oprah (remember the cattle industry). But with some of her white female supporters still harboring hurt feelings over her endorsement of a black man over a woman, Oprah may be vulnerable. And with FOX NEWS out there, who knows.
If they try to come after you, Oprah, just know that you have millions of us supporting you. But I am a believer in disarming your opponent with a simple sentence.
Thus, Oprah, if the GOP decides to come after you, just say this:
“Since when is the Republican Party a defender of women’s rights?
OR
“If the GOP is so concerned about sexism, give us equal pay, better child care, etc.
”Every law proposed to help women causes in America has met the most resistance from Republicans. Equal pay, maternity leave, child care, universal health care, etc. was advocated by Democrats but resisted by the Republicans as too expensive a proposition for big business which also results in bigger government. (I guess giving away $1,000,000,000,000 of OUR money to bail out Wall Street this week is cheap by comparison). By allowing the McCain camp and others to call anyone sexist where they have been the sexist pigs themselves has shifted the narrative to the GOP as defender of women’s rights. That must stop and Ms. Oprah controversy I thinks could be the opening to have a strong response.
Gotta love this....

Obama needs our help in simplyfying his campaign. Please reply; the longer the chain the liklier the Obama campaign would read this.
I'll Start:
How could John McCain be part of the solution where he and GOP were the cause of America's economic problems?
Awesome...
When you don't have the answer to the simplest of questions, then you are in deep trouble.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfvPxYYIdP4
I can see why McCain canceled his interview with Larry King tonight. My money is that he doesn't have an answer to that question either.
To introduce a woman few heard of, a new kid on the national political block, and put her on a national stage for the first time, what you expect the media to do? Their jobs of course and investigate.
Within days they found things about Palin and her family that McCain and gang hoped wouldn't be a big deal, but it turned into a life of its own. It has NOTHING to do with Obama, it's what the people want, and the media to readily served, read meat.
Now McCain and the RNC, who never been know to support women’s' rights, now cry sexism.
Wow! Some nerve. Hypocrites!!!!
McCain to me is a hypocrite.
A man who systematically assailed Obama for his inexperience and for putting ambition before America, only to turn around and pick someone whose resume is arguably thinner than Obama's. McCain could have pick a much more qualified women such as Senators Hutchinson, Snowe or Collins, but didn't.
As a woman, I'm angry and insulted by this. It's no different that if Obama lost the primary and McCain picked a black person as VP.
As a life-long New Yorker (Deb from the Block if you prefer), I recall vividly when HRC decided to run for NYS Senator. Her first opponent was Rudy Giuliani, then mayor of NYC. The things he said about her before he dropped out were brutal. Giuliani portrayed HRC as an inauthentic, inexperienced, liberal champion of big government and make things worse a carpetbagger. He and the Republicans went so far as to write and release a 315 page dossier on her, spelling out in painful details her character flaws and mistakes.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/28/us/politics/28york.html?emc=eta1
What Giuliani was trying to do to her not so long ago was no different than what to the Republicans did to her and Bill during the 1990s: To continue treat the Clintons as the devils incarnate. Make no mistake; the Republicans NEVER liked HRC or Bill Clinton. They HATED them with each day they were in the White House. So when you hear the likes of Giuliani and McCain all of a sudden singing her praises--whereas until June 2008, she was their pariah, their antagonist--realize that they only want to exploit any lingering anger and resentment you may have and to vote for McCain.
Don’t fall for it!!!!

To the HRC supporters who may have doubts, take note: the Republicans never cared for HRC and they never will. (Go to the sites of those Republican commentators such as Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Coulter, and Sean Hannity and see for yourself.) I guarantee you that if it were HRC accepting the nod instead of Obama, they would try the same pandering tactics towards resentful blacks. And do you really think the Republican Party has been the champion for Blacks in America? Please don’t fall for the pandering bull that the McCain and the Republicans now are doing. Vote Obama!
