Blumenthal -- Rove, McCain Clashed Over Pick

Keep drinking the Kool-aide, Vee.

Vee's got it right. If there's any justice in the world and if the Americans voters don't screw it up yet again - and this time there may not be another chance - Obama and Biden will lead us, All of us. Not just the ones who voted for them. As our Founders intended. Rule of law and international respect through leadership - these helped make us great and are needed to keep us from continuing the downward slide. Yes, Obama and Biden, two of the most passionate, intelligent, knowledgable, rational and capable Americans we have, will steer the truest course.

The November Bush Referendum will cast aside McCain, Republican candidate for President. Age 72 (way too old), voted over 90% for Bush Administration. With current choice for VP he moves even closer to Bush Dogma. America has had enough, hence the low ratings for President Bush. Historians will tell you that spells doom for the candidate of that respective party. He's done before he's even started. That's why we have the disappearing President Bush nobody wants to be near him. EXCEPT, of course "his base."

i hope more people are thinking as clearly as you guys...
people are entitled to opinion...however, you should never give equal time to lies as the truth...

Even Rove the architect of doom got it right on this one. McCain's Quayle VP pick is a slap in the face to all Americans. Another sign that in McCain's advanced age he lacks the judgement to be president. Republicans are trying to rationalize this poor decision but deep down they know the election is lost. Deep down they also know, Obama is a far better choice for our country.

As a woman I am insulted that McCain, picked a novice just to cater the the female voters.I already hear woman stating they are happy he picked her just becasue she is a woman. How insulting to my intelligence. Does he not think we will look at her political stance on issues that are important to us.
I think he picked her because she is a right wing conservative and he know that without them he would lose the election. Very smart BUT, it will back fire on him.

Jay,

In all honesty, I think Senator McCain wants us all to know that he publically clashed with Rove on these issues. This situation would help to enhance his appearance of maveric-icity. If I were a cynical man, I would say that this presentation of a rift between Rove and McCain is a very purposeful strategy hammered out between the two of them.

I will be willing to bet that Mcshames pick was really Rove's pick. Mcshame didn't know this woman at all and had spent no time getting to know her which suggest to me that someone else picked her for Mcshame. Rove is the one that thought that she woulod get some of the Hillary voters and it will backfire in his face. At least I hope and pray that the American people are smarter than that.

Obama/Biden 08

Pete, I wouldn't be surprised if the scenerio you describe is close to the truth. I understand she was not fully vetted as the campaign didn't think it necessary. Now there is talk that the infant child, Trig, may be the child of Ms. Palin's daughter Bristol. Perhaps that's why Bristol missed 5-8 months of school with mono (?) and Sarah never looked pregnant. If true, this lady is one hell of a liar!

ROFL...McCain just may be the smartest poltician you know folks....he has my Democrats running around in circles chasing their tails ROFL

I have polled all of my Republican friends and they are very pleased and energized by John McCain's choice of Governor Sarah Palin for VP nominee.

As a former Democrat, now an Independent, I am insulted that Barack Obama did not choose Hillary Clinton as his VP with 18 million votes but choose Joe Biden with 9 thousand votes. There are many other women who are governors or senators who Obama could have picked as VP. Did he think that NONE of these women were good enough to be VP?

The bottom line is that Senator John McCain chose a woman and Senator Barack Obama did not. Too bad that Obama and the DNC do not think they need to pander to women. The Democrats have shot themselves in the foot again. McCain/Palin/2008

Troopergate isnt the only time that Mrs Palin has abused her power. Goggle "Mayor Palin - fired Police Chief"--- she fired the Police Chief and the Library Director because they didnt support her during
her re-election in 1996.

By all those saying that Palin has more exp. She has "executive" but that is like her managing the local dairy queen for 10 yrs. So in that sense Obama have been managing the district,national & worldwide McDonalds for 12 yrs plus. And for all those saying she has more experience than Obama/Biden, in same token she would have more experience then McCain.

Obama became a Senator in Illinois, by pushing his benefactor OFF THE BALLOT. Yes, black woman activist Alice Palmer was struck off the ballot by force, by Obama, so he could run UNOPPOSED and win. Thats what he does to all his friends. Thats what he will do to you. The muslim boy has thrown everyone under the bus.

I say NO to flip-flop duo Hussein OBAMA and Robinette BIDEN. Absolutely NO Osama bin Biden.

I VOTE AMERICAN HERO JOHN MCCAIN AND
MOVER AND SHAKER SARAH PALIN.

NOW THATS CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

TO POSTER VEE;
YOU BETTER GET READY TO HIDE VEE BECAUSE THE GUYS IN THE WHITE COATS ARE COMING TO TAKE YOU AWAY.

RE Troopergate: Trooper Wooten has been a state trooper since March 2001 and an Air Force veteran. He's a father of young children who has been married and divorced four times. He has a long history as a domestic abuser. He told others his father-in-law would "eat a f'ing lead bullet" if he helped his daughter get an attorney for the divorce.

It seems that this trooper should be removed from the police force to protect the public.

GIVE ME A BREAK DEMIs.
YOU PICKED THE WRONG CANDIDATE.
HILLARY WOULD BE A TOUGHER CANDIDATE WITH EXPERINCE.

OBAMA SAT IN A CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS AND HAD A CLOSE RELATINSHIP WITH THE Rev, JEREMIAH WRONG AND NEVER HEARD HIM TALK AGAINST MY LOVELY AMERICA?

WAIT A MINUTE YOU GUYS BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN MONICA AND SLICK WILLIE WAS NOT SEX WHERE HE COMES FROM! BECAUSE HE SAID SO?

THANK YOU FOR GIVING US A SHOT!

Ruby: So you believe that the GOP panders to women? I would have to assume that's what you mean:

"Too bad that Obama and the DNC do not think they need to pander to women."

You are right, Obama and the DNC don't have to "pander" to anyone. Pandering is simply catering to the weakness of others. In this case, McCain thinks he can take the women who were solidly behind Hillary and transfer that excitement, admiration and enthusiasim
over to another woman, simply because she IS a woman. How condescending and foolish is that?
I supported Hillary all the way and was disappointed in the way things turned out however Barack Obama and she were on the same side of the issues that really matter to me. I am now, solidly behind him.

The selection of Palin was a stunt, plain and simple. I turn your question back to you--
" There are many other women who are governors or senators who Obama could have picked as VP. Did he think that NONE of these women were good enough to be VP?" What about McCain? Of all the women, (Dole, Hutchinson to name two) he picked a women who doesn't even know what a VP does, or what she thinks of the Iraq situation.
To any male out there who wonders what women are thinking and terrified that McCain's antics will sway Hillary supporters, rest easy. We are not that stupid. McCain just looks like a desperate old man trying to please all the "gals" out there. To quote Palin--"Yup. Yup." he sure is, and it isn't working.

If it was up to Hussein Obama, he would prefer to run UNOPPOSED for President. But lucky for us, we the voters have a say-so. At least I hope so. The DNC is was trying to do away with all that in the primaries when they betrayed HILLARY.

Key-note speaker Giuliani said it best : Obama is the least experienced candidate for president in the last 100 years. “I mean, he's never run a city, he's never run a state, he's never run a business, he's never administered a payroll, he's never led people in crisis,”

At The Republican National Convention Giuliani said of Palin “somebody of accomplishment because she's vetoed legislation, she's taken on corruption in her party, and won. She took on the oil companies and won. She administered a budget successfully.”

WE VOTE FOR THE MC-PAL TICKET.

ABSOLUTELY NO Obama-bin-Biden. NO NO NO.

MCCAIN-PALIN ALL THE WAY 2008

PALIN THE SEXY PENTECOSTAL was turned by mccain into a liar in less than 24 hours,
SHEIS A CHENEY SHELL GAME to keep voters busy looking at the small town skeletons in her closet while:
ALL THE BIGWIGS WERE IN FOR THE HURRICANE
MCCAIN-CHENEY-BUSH-JINDAL WANT JINDAL TO BECOME PRESIDENT.
brinkley, tulane univeristy, The Great Deluge provides transcripts of email and telephone calls proving that bush used blanco's mistakes in protocol as an excuse to drag their feet on Katrina response to insure that the "next governor be republican".
and that governor is jindal who in newspapers from india 5 years ago was front paged as being promised the governorship.
the RNC convention is at the hurricane and the twin cities is a phoney.
they are using voters and gustav the way they used you and 9-11 to get a trillion dollars "for iraq".
