1. I wish she'd change her hairstyle, it's so 1957.
And those glasses are ugly too. Get with the 21st Century you hag you!

2. I think this campaign is getting to her already...
It's not unusual for men and women to age considerably under the pressure of politics, but this picture looks ten years down the road from the way she looked during her RNC speech. I don't remember saggy jowls and puffy eyes during the convention.

That's shallow and petty, I know. Fuck me.

3. I don't think she looks good for her age at all.
Neither do any of the other tickets' candidates, other than Obama himself.

That said, it's probably hard for a candidate, particularly a female one, when the populace seems to place a value of being "down to earth" or "mature" looking.

4. I know what you mean...
I hate when I think in those terms, but it's in anticipation of the populace value placement, no question.

Obama seems to be taking it all very well! I loved his skinny but strong comment. I hope he continues to take it well!

12. last i saw of her her hair was down
to conceal an earpiece and just long enough to hide a wire.

She does look a bit ragged.

I bet she really had no Idea that the "lower 48" was actually Bigger than Alaska. (in numerous ways.)

6. I think she looks perfectly normal for her age.
I think Obama and Biden look normal for their ages too.

I would not be surprised, though, if this contest aged all of them a bit.

McCain's already too far gone.

15. She does look normal for her age, I agree.
But what I said was that she didn't look good for her age. I mean, a lot of people have said that. She may look "good," but not for her age particularly.

16. That's true.
Although I hate the whole "for one's age" qualifier anyway. I'd get a little miffed if someone said to me, "You look good for your age." I either tell someone they look good period or say nothing at all.

8. She said that about hoover vacuums?
Maybe she thinks Hoover is the one who gave us the New Deal.

Speaking of the New Deal ...

9. The picture of the migrant mother has always haunted me. Just a few days
ago I was looking for more information on this and found a website which purports to be by the woman's grandson that gives a little more information on this picture and some of the other photos taken by Dorothea Lange.
