Does anyone else think the T Boone Pickens might be an October surprise? |

This guy is running constant commercials in VA. He's pushing natural gas, she touts her natural gas pipeline deal. When Palin said drill baby drill, he changed the beginning of his ad to say by all means we should drill,drill, drill.
They keep saying she is an energy expert. The Democrats think that is stupid so they ignore it, but since when haven't Americans bought into something that was ludicrous just b/c it was repeated often enough (like Bush was an accomplished businessman).
Getting closer to the election, he could tailor his commercials to endorse her. I hope the Democrats expose her and her bogus natural gas pipeline deal.
This guy funded the swift-boating of Kerry which should have all of us wondering what's going on.
The pipeline deal is bad for the American taxpayer and shows she is an idiot.

from the time he started those TV commercials. I told my husband to wait and see. He's gained a whole lot of name recognition on solving the energy crisis and will endorse McCain in October.

(can't remember where, though) that Pickens has refused to take part in anymore Swiftboating. I recall that Obama met with him and I get the feeling that Pickens didn't come away from the meeting an Obama hater.

5. I just don't trust the man and it just seems like an obvious set up |
|
for McCain and Palin. Time will tell but I hope team Obama is prepared just in case. Myself, I'd be proactive and expose her as anything BUT an expert on energy.

6. No. And if he is, that's a pretty crappy October surprise. |
|
Even after all his ads, 90% of the population has no idea who he is.

12. It could be one of many surprises and in VA he is running ad after ad after ad. |
|
He is running these ads during election time. Why?

9. I work at the state university he now owns.... |

Oklahoma State University, and believe me, it proves that with money you can do whatever the hell you want. If you have his money and say the sky is orange, by god you better start agreeing. We have become his bitch.

10. The "drill all you want" line was actually a dismissal of McCain/Palin's plan |
