Because you touch yourself at night.

"Free fall? I'm still paying $3.60 a gallon, I'd hardly call that a free fall. "

Good move not getting Anderson, I like Garrard better.

From what Obama has been saying, I think he's just gonna go with whatever timetable they give him, same as what McCain would do.

You have incorrectly read the Republicans and Democrats, good sir.

Joey, glad you and your family are ok, but that sucks big time about the house. Hope you can salvage as much as possible

NEVER

That sucks man. Best of luck to you.

Careful with this line of reasoning, Mr. Obama supporter.

I think it makes some sense, (she hasn't worked in Washington, she's a female, she's a staunch conservative), but I think the McCain camp underestimated the amount of negative attention Palin's issues would bring to them. The smart move, IMO, is to always pick the vice presidential candidate who isn't going to endanger any of your target demographics. I think McCain might have overestimated the draw that a VP candidate has on voters, and as a result figured the positives would outweigh the negatives.

All anecdotal evidence that one person doesn't like Palin. We'll see in a few weeks if it affected the race either way and by how much. If there is no sustainable change from pre-convention polls to post-convention polls, as is normal, Palin won't matter either way.

I, too, thought Mario was the right pick at the time. Vince Young would have been a good pick too, simply because of the hometown factor and ticket sales.

Ah, election season. The conventions always brings out the best in this forum.

Easy - it's the appearance of bucking the trend by taking an outsider and unknown.

'Tis why he's called a reformer and maverick now, his whole career is based off of the rebuilding of his image in response to the Keating 5 scandal. (Also shows he's a damn hypocrite, but alas...)

Indeed, EIL. If we weren't, Paul would be Prez.

Which is nowhere near the complexity or scope.

If anyone is interested in the study of voting behavior, I wanted to point out this article, talking about some common myths with a professor that I had while I was a student at UT.

Wait, you mean she's the same as McCain, Obama, and Biden? Gasp!

And neither one of them deal with the state legislature.

Uh, yeah, of course Rove is going to say she's the perfect gal for the job, he works for the Republicans.

The challenges being comparable means their jobs and authority levels are comparable?

Because a mayor of a city is = governor of a state, amirite?

Oh no, not a SWIMSUIT!!! http://hotair.com/archives/2007/01/08/obama-at-the-beach/

Drafting by position is a poor strategy, IMO. Drafting by player is much better. I'd take Randy Moss at #9 over any of the RBs likely available, for instance.
