Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Re: McCain and Palin promote RAPE...bear with me......
Also, no comment on the other accusations? McCain did make a rape joke, did criticize Obama for trying to prevent kids from being molested, Palin does advocate banning abortion in cases of INCEST and RAPE (even incest and rape of a child, she specifically answers in regard to a 15 year old girl AND her own daughter). Come on here, am I ...

IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR!
This presidential race is all about color! How easily we forget history! How quickly the hard lessons of the past are faded away. McCain and Palin's ''disagreement'' is nothing more than a tactic to steer those not able to think on their own, away from what is really happening. The color issue. Trust me...it's all about color. RED, ...

Re: Joe the Plumber...
There are a lot of questions being asked now about the star of last night's debate, Joe ''The Plumber'' Wurzelbacher. To many he seemed perfect-- maybe a little too perfect for the role he was playing: Joe Six-Pack.It turns out Mr. Wurzelbacher is not a licensed plumber. He's not a licensed plumber, yet he is planning on starting his own plumbing ...

Re: The Dangerous Time
I agree with the GOP fear of losing power and being taxed bit. But I believe you've missed the boat on McCain. He has swallowed hard for the sake of his over-inflated ego, and decided since he went to bat for the W's campaign that he wasn't going to let things like principles get in the way of his right to the throne. He's letting right-wing ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

I'm always disappointed in this blog
I'm a female, a liberal, a feminist, and a regular Slate reader. I was thrilled when I first found the XX Factor. Now, I rarely read it, and every time I do, I come away angry and disappointed. Sometimes, I wonder if these writers and I are even living in the same universe. The comments about Campbell Brown's ''sexist'' rant - Did you guys ...

Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

Lets direct the discussion to issues
Maybe I'm only speaking for myself, but I'm really bored with the games campaigns play and with how the media lets them play them. For example, of course Obama was targeting Palin and McCain with the pig in lipstick and smelly fish references, but did they really have to react like the world had ended? And I did find it interesting that McCain's ...
