Obama needs to be careful, the VP pick is a BIG fat trap

[DianeG5385]

They are comparing Mc Cains VP pick to Obama rather than Biden, comparing THEIR experience! I suggest that the Obama campaign say congratulations ignore her and proceed to attack McCain relentlessly and with both barrels! He's such a devious political animal!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I think Obama's campaign is smart enough to figure this out.

[DianeG5385]

6. I'm just picturing the McCain commercials now, smarmy and disgusting

They are going to use her as an attack dog against Obama

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. So? You don't think Obama's campaign can handle a lightweight like Palin?

Obama defeated the Clintons, the most formidable political force in country. I think he can deal with Palin without even breaking a sweat.

[GarbagemanLB]

15. What standing, exactly, does she have to attack Obama?

[melody]

2. Yeah, that's right, we'd better all give up right now

The end is near.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Never fear. Obama will, like always, hit precisely the right note.

I swear that befoe Obama I had never even conceived the notion of political perfect pitch. but there it is.

[dailykoff]

7. Perfect political pitch, that's exactly right.

He didn't beat the Clintons by being naive.

[Lucinda]

4. Your point will be largely ignored but I agree with you.

[Danger Mouse]

5. Don't worry about Obama. He's very astute and has a very strong campaign staff.

She does not shake up the game plan at all.
They have their path to victory laid out. She's just a bump in the road along the way. Biden will steamroll her in the debate.

[RagAss]

8. Ignore her....like the cartoon that she is.

[DianeG5385]

9. I think we ignore at our peril

Unless she self destructs which is a distinct possibility

10. how Obama should reply

MY SPEECH FOR OBAMA

I want to congratulate Senator McCain on the pick of Sara Palin as his VP. With this pick Senator McCain has validated what I have said all along that experience is not measured by how long you have been in office or weather you have served in the military but weather you have the judgment and temperament to lead this country in a new direction.

I look forward to debating Senator McCain and Governor Palin on this issue in the coming weeks and wish them luck. But not to much...


Very simple and takes away McCain's one issue that was working on Obama. I would tell all my surrogates that this is the talking point on each network to explain that experience is not gained by how much time you have in office but on how you will make decisions and lead the country...

[Condem]

11. Yup, let's just fucking tiptoe through the tulips...

They just threw out their whole argument against Obama.

[LongDistanceRunner]

13. Obama needs to keep doing exactly what he has been doing

and ignore each and every chicken little along the way

[Thrill]

17. Thats right just stay out there comparing McCain to Bush. Palin is irrelevant

[WinkyDink]

14. Team Obama is at least as smart as anyone here.

[Thrill]

16. I don't think you are going to see her attacking Obama. They didn't mention him today

I hate to say it. But they are going to use her to just be out there looking pretty and praising McCain. She won't do any attacking.

[progressiveforever]

18. She isn't hard to ignore

I am more ready to be president than she is.

[nc4bo]

19. grrrrrrrr...............i hope they know this. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

20. Obama and Biden can handle this in a coma

I'm just madder than ever at McCain for not even bothering to make it look on the surface appearance of things as if he cares about this country. I knew that already, it's just too overt of an insult from the phoney "patriot".

That doesn't need stating either, I just can't refrain from expressing how much he disgusts me for this.

It's a gift. I know that. B/c others will feel the same. But McCreep may as well take a dump on the flag in public, in my opinion.

[gravity]

21. The VP pick is a big joke

You guys give the republicans too much credit. They really are idiots and have no clue what is important to the average Americans.

The Obama campaign is smart enough to deal with Palin, and it isn't a ploy to point out his lack of experience.
