Obama is in trouble now....
FOX reporting that they are getting alot of emails from viewers that say they were Hillary supporters and are now jumping ship to vote for McCain because of Palin.

Obama should pack it in and head back to Illinois :-)

9. And seriously....
how many Hillary supporters actually watch FIXED News? Maybe 2 or 3....

Last Saturday night FOX was slamming the Biden pick and bringing out every negative thing that Biden brings to the tickets and here FIXED News praises and praises McCain for picking Palin, never mentioning her inexperience and the investigation she has to deal with back in Alaska. A brilliant pick one talking head said on FIXED News...FAIR AND BALANCED my arse!

7. And Faux NEVER lies...
...or uses plants, or actors, or party reps posing as ordinary people.

Of course, a certain percentage of people will believe Faux, as always. Let's concentrate on people with functioning brain cells.

8. keep on keepin on, faux.
as your base dwindles....and your investment in the AP backfires....Keep up the good work, Ministry of Truth!

Reality check for Fox Tools:

they were your party in the first place, so this is no big surprise.

PUMAs who were registered republicans -- MOST



Oh yeah., You're getting the Hillary vote.

11. I don't see how ANY Hillary supporter could back Palin
The ones who say they are switching their support are one of three things: stupid, racist, or Republican. OK, they could be all three.

McCain: Hurricane Gustav May Suspend RNC
August 30, 2008 4:08 PM

ABC News' Karen Travers reports: In an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace that will air Sunday morning, Sen. John McCain indicated that the GOP convention could be suspended because of Hurricane Gustav.

"It wouldn't be appropriate to have a festive occasion while a near tragedy or a terrible challenge is presented in the form of a natural disaster," McCain told Wallace.

I love this choice. :rofl:

43. I think you are afraid because you know your candidate is pathetic.
He is too senile to count how many homes he owns, he nominated his wife for a topless beauty contest called Miss Buffalo Chip, and he picked a beauty pageant winner with virtually no experience to be his Vice President. I am sure the Daily Show writers are thanking you for helping to keep this campaign alive.

50. Actually...
I'm an enviro-leftist. My past two years have been spent rallying opposition to Governor Palin and her support of canned hunting, helicopter hunting of wolves, drilling in ANWR, and a few dozen other issues. You could kind of say that I'm an expert on Sarah Palin, enough so that she could pick my voice yelling "Asshole Palin" out of a crowd. I think I might even haunt her thoughts.

It's like Lyda Green(R), AK Senate President, said: "She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?"

I'm not only not scared of her, I'm excited to see her chosen. It's a lot like pick-up basketball when the other team picks the really gawky tall kid first and you know that he can't dribble or shoot...and they don't. Palin will be crushed by the issues during the election because she's not up to the job.

32. Yeah, we are really frightened by a VP who said just last month she didn't know what the VP does
Now don't get me wrong I would be scared if she was a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Fortunately however I think she is such a pathetic candidate that she will sink the GOP ticket.

47. Oh we have uncovered plenty of dirt on her already...
I never said Obama had the election in the bag, but your candidate sure is making it easy for him. And if you are so confident then why do you feel the need to attack us for looking for dirt on her? If you were confident we weren't on to anything it doesn't seem like you would really care because you would just think we were wasting our time. I think you are the one that is truly afraid.

19. Idiots? Nice way to introduce yourself to DU
Anyone who is giving money to McCain is not a Hillary supporter, Hillary is supporting Obama. If some former donors decide they want to give money to some guy who got where he is because he had an affair with a multi-millionaire beer heiress that is their issue, but if they support McCain they are not Hillary supporters.

28. OK, I've looked.

Yes, some votes have shifted, or are in play.

I suspect you have a bigger point to make. Might as well give it another try after a rough start.

53. Let's see...
Hillary supporters going for McCain because of a pro-gun, anti-choice, anti-environment, anti-public education Vice-Presidential candi ate just because she has a vagina. I.m sure that's right.

Quick radio story. Yesterday the male talk host was going for a smoke break, and the female Urban jock was going to the bathroom. This was just after the Pallin announcement. Knowing her to be a democrat, he says, "Since it's all about race and gender, what are you gonna do now?" He wondered how she'd choose between the African-American and the woman. HEr response was priceless and I'm going to steal it and use (not on the air, of course.

Her response: "It's not about race and gender, it's about quality of life, you dick!"
