Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Other than the PUMA thing, who supports those positions who wasn't already going to vote for McCain?
And on the PUMA thing, I really think it has been blown out of proportion by the media and McCain's campaign. I mean really how many Democratic women are going to vote for McCain because they are pissy Clinton didn't get nominated, not very many at all I don't think.
I don't know, maybe it's easier for me to be optimistic because of where I live and who I know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, you have a woman which may help with the PUMA crowd, but also that helps deflect from McCain who does not have a great record on woman's rights.
But neither does she! I just don't get it. I mean, I get why they picked her, but I don't understand why it would be successful as pandering.
Pandering to the right, sure.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Both McCain and Palin will get trounced in the debates.
It was a cynical choice.

The youngest - 4 months - also has Downs. Is this really a good time to take on such a political role?

I gritted my teeth and checked the comments on a local news board, and the radical righties are ecstatic. She hunts! She skins her own critters! She understands that a woman's job is to be a mother first! She's in charge of a great big state! And she blew the whistle on her own party's corruption!
Apparently she has a bass boat, too. She's One Of Us!

Apparently this illustrates how perfect she is on the subject of family values. A Vice President who has to go home to take care of the kids is perfect for the Limbaugh lemmings.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
the Alaska repubs have to be the most corrupt political organization going since the Grant administration
Are, and have been for a loooooong time.
Bristol, Willow, and Piper? Seriously? (All place names in AK.)

Like I said-- good ol' boy. Those sound like names that'll appeal down here.
And all I can think of Trig is "She named her kid after a horse or an integral part of a gun-- either way, poor kid."

I don't know, maybe it's easier for me to be optimistic because of where I live and who I know.
Where I live, the first words from every democratic candidate I meet is "Hi I'm [insert candidate's name], I'm a pro-gun, pro-life democrat, and..."
