While I do not usually condone consuming large quantities of alcoholic beverages, certain occasions call for more than the usual glass of wine with dinner. The Sarah Palin-Joe Biden vice presidential debate scheduled for this Thursday, Oct. 2, is one of those times. Though the vice presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden is likely to be an entertaining show even if you're stone cold sober, just think of how much more fun you could have adding alcohol to the mix.RULES OF THE SARAH PALIN VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE DRINKING GAME--Take a chug of Moosehead beer whenever Sarah Palin says the following:maverickreformerany sentence including the words "neighbor" and "Russia"small-town valuesGwen or Joe (remember how many times Palin said "Charlie" during the Gibson interview?)off shore oil drillingAlaska"Thanks but no thanks!"witchcraft (not likely...but hey, you never know, especially if Kathleen Parker's name should pop up)--Take two chugs of Moosehead whenever Sarah Palin does the following:Utters a coherent sentence (i.e., contains a subject and a verb and makes logical sense)Talks about her new friend Henry Kissinger or Hamid KarzaiExplains how being the part-time mayor of Wasilla, Alaska with a full-time city manager counts as executive experience--Chug a whole bottle of Moosehead if Sarah Palin mentions the following:Palin PresidencyOn second thought, make that two bottles of Moosehead.-----------------------------------------Author's note: The author of this piece does not actually condone the drinking of large quantities of alcohol or playing drinking games of any sort.

OMG this lady is totally crawling under my skin!! She doesn't think Barack is good enough to be President so she offers to take her under her wing as her VP? GMAB!! When I read between the lines of that possibility I saw that Hillary 1. is obviously trying to take as many votes from "undecided" democrats in Mississippi and Pennsylvania and 2. that she doesn't feel confident enough to win the rest of the states' votes on her own so she had to include Obama in order to hopefully gain a few more votes. That's just tacky politics if you ask me.
Furthermore, that Ferraro chick needs to keep her mouth shut in the future and apologize for what she has said. Hillary's campaign already does tacky politics and it would be nice to see someone from there demonstrate an effort to make some kind of ammend. After all, we're all the same party, right?
Lastly, a caucus delegate?? Cute!! She wouldn't have won those either!! Her eyebrow raising has really gotten old and I can't wait to see her off the television. And honestly, how politically ininappropriate is it to claim that your opponent FROM THE OTHER PARTY is a better candidate for the Presidency than the one you're considering as your VP??!!! Can we say rude blonde moment?
I just saw the hour-long special on MSNBC about Obama and it was really enlightening. He's the epitome of the American Dream. I feel that regardless of how nasty Hillary gets, I myself can't get that way because I am doing this campaign with a strong sense of HOPE, not back-stabbing politics. That's why we're all for CHANGE. If I try to be the better person and focus on winnning votes for Obama simply by telling people who he is and what he stands for and not bashing his opponent, the campaign and ultimately this country will have a better outcome.
Last night the kids and I went canvassing for Obama around my neighborhood. It was so damn cold but they were bundled up in their wagon and although we got the door slammed on us a few times, it was an extraordinary experience because of the overwhelming support I found in my neighborhood for Obama and as a Democrat. I got hugs from Obama supporters and even passed out all but two flyers which the kids wanted to keep. What was nice was finding the Obama supporters and having them promise to pass on some flyers themselves for Super Tuesday. I called my family, a few friends and texted everybody else. It was nice because for the few who I saw last night that were undecided, they told me that because I spent time trying to educate them about Obama and that because I had been the only one representing any of the candidates that they were going to vote for Obama. When I texted some of my friends last night and this morning a few of them had actually admitted that they forgot to vote, but guess who they told me they had voted for when they finally did get to go vote today!! Furthermore, and I think one of the best perks of calling my family was convincing my aunt to vote. I honestly don't know who she voted for, but she told me today that she did indeed vote because of what I had told her about women not always having the right to vote and the need to exercise that right.
Overall it was really amazing that I could make a difference in people's choices for president and rewarding that I had actually been able to convince people to vote for Obama.
Today my cousin and I went canvassing in town to a local neighborhood. She and I have always been close, but I don't think there was ever a time we'd done anything 'special' together. She is one of the precinct captains in town (not in mine however) but it was a wonderful experience to go canvass with her and her two year old daughter. Maybe we'd never had a lunch date or a shopping spree, but we were helping to persuade and educate members of our community to vote for the one man we believe can help shape America into the great nation it is called to be.
The experience as a whole was wonderful, despite the extremely windblown hair the two of us got from walking door to door. We were supposed to only go to a few houses, but we opted to go door to door anyway.
I'm glad I have had the opportunity to do more than just vote this election. Mind you, this is the first election that I actually felt strongly about a candidate. I feel that if I speak up for Obama right now, he'll listen to me and speak up for America for the next 8 years (yes, I'm counting on re-election.)
