The More We Concentrate on Sarah Palin, The Stronger
the possibility that John Bush will be elected president. If we (the supporters of Sen. Barack Obama) could just concentrate our efforts and thoughts on the Obama campaign and his message, and think about HIS PRESIDENCY instead of thoughts of the possibility of a McBush presidency, we have the power to dissipate the spell the repugs have cast on the nation. (SEE LAW OF ATTRACTION) What do YOU think?

11. No, please explain the Law of Attraction to me.
It wouldn't happen to be that pseudo-scientific bullshit spouted by such books as "The Secret", would it? If that's the case, I guess we just need to imagine an Obama Presidency and it will happen. Oh god, I just hope that republicans aren't imagining a McCain Presidency too, we wouldn't want them canceling us out.

4. I agree, Palin is the weak link
The choice of Paliin shows McCain sold out to the extreme right. We need to keep beating the Palin drum (covered in pig skin) until people get tired of the mud and go back to real politics.

Kerry kept to the issues and look what he got ... Swiftboated.

5. Today, everyone is the U.S. is talking about Palin,
no matter what they're saying, she's the topic. We're off message and no one is talking about Barack Obama. We're playing into their hands. Which do you want more, Barack Obama, or "not McCain"???

2. That is 100% Bullshit. That is the EXACT same attitude that Kerry had in 2004.
The reason Republicans continue to do so well is because of their ability to DEFINE Democrats. It's time we start defining them, and there is no better time than right now to define Palin.

"Wake Up America!!"

8. His judgement is lacking to put her second in command
Looks like a wk ago you were talking about her, now you are tired of it? Understandable. But, the more that comes out about her, the more it shows Mccain's judgment is lacking to put her second in command. But, that focuses on mccain's issues.

So, point out the weakness of one and the strengths of the other candidate. No, you can't just ignore the bs and swiftboating, seems Obama is doing well addressing those issues.

9. I have no problem with talking about Palin, but we need to do it right -
with laughter.

"You do know that Gov. Palin supported the Bridge before she rejected it...(chuckle)...while keeping the government's money for it anyway...(laugh)...but seriously, the issue is Senator McCain, and his..."

Let her be ridiculous, attack McCain, support Obama/Biden.

Taking her seriously only empowers her - she is NOT a serious candidate. No matter what the MSM would have us believe. Would ANY male candidate with her background even be considered? She's only there to glamorize their ticket, because they've got NO issues.

NOTE: I love posting about Palin, then doing a spellcheck - I get to keep clicking on 'ignore' Palin.

10. Everyone has their own beachead. Not EVERY soldier landed at Juno Beach in WW2.

A good campaign assaults on a variety of fronts. Obama is the most canny principled politician I've seen in a long, long time. He's both a strategist AND a tactician and has maintained the most awesome "above the fray" ADULT and MATURE demeanor I've seen since Kennedy. He displays warmth, humor, and a laser-like focus on the ISSUES. He remains consistent in expressing the principled TRUTH - that it's not about the politician and IS about the people.

As I've said before, I might have some disagreements with his policy positions - that they're not liberal enough - but I have absolutely NO quibble with his character, maturity, integrity and intellectual acumen. In fact, his focus on the PROCESS of governance rather than the EDICTS of governance affords me some degree of confidence that a liberal cohort that somehow rediscovers its spine will be heard. I have utmost confidence in his ability to appoint decent SCOTUS candidates and extraordinary cabinet members. This is a guy who (with Michelle's assistance, no doubt) is a good judge of people.
