Obama’s Challenges in the Campaign’s Final Days, from A to Z
The video. This is a radically different version of my earlier video, for which I forgot to put in a disclaimer that I was not buying into the criticisms, but merely listing them. The same goes for this one, although it is more upbeat in tone. Here is the script: “A” is for [A]CORN, a group which gets out the vote. Right-Wingers have (falsely) ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
Cindy: For me, the shoe is on the opposite foot... I know Sarah Palin (and her history) quite well, but am only aware of John McCain periferally through the news. I'm not offended by anything that I've heard, but I am concerned that he is 72 yrs old with a history of cancer. I think there is a very real chance that his health could fail with his ...

Not a serious candidate
Nice article, and I agree entirely. But if Palin is not a serious candidate, what does that say about Obama? Sure, McCain may be old (notwithstanding that his mother is in her 90s and still going strong), which means that Palin could be far closer to having to step into the president's shoes than any VP in a long time. But there is no question ...

Same-Sex Ban Gets Palin Veto
http://dwb.adn.com/news/government/legislature/story/8525563p-8419318c.html I find it interesting that the media has not reported on this yet. It even applies to her experience in government!

Can we really go after Palin on Experience?
Can we really? Do we really want to make this about Palin's experience after we have nominated a man in the number 1 spot who has been a Senator for three years with no legislative accomplishments, and previously was a community organizer, and state legislator?

The Audacity of Accomplishment!
Among the many political advantages that Sarah Palin’s candidacy brings to the table is that her mere presence will inevitably invite all too predictable and insulting Barrack-attacks from Democrats, such as the patronizing and politically self-destructive comment made today by none other than Barrack Obama on “60 Minutes.” Obama condescendingly ...

Gov Palin: Choice for VP???
Having been a Humanitarian Aid Relief Coordinator and Educator for First Responders for 30 years allowed me entrance into numerous nations across four continents. I made sure I did my best to arrange my furloughs back to the US during the RNC conventions and elections...as much as possible. Several times, I was personally invited to attend ...

Re: Experience Obama and Palin
The big difference (experience-wise) between Obama and Palin is that Obama has been in the national spotlight for a while now. During the primaries he was forced to respond on several key issues, the war in Iraq, negotiations with Iran, the gas tax debaucle. In every case Obama has responded in a very presidential manner. The Bush ...

Is VP nothing but an understudy?
In all the coverage of the Sarah Palin decision, only one theme seems to be covered: the question of her experience in relation to being president. Does no one realize that she's only running to be VICE president? Yes, I'm well aware of the succession rules and, yes, I've heard about how old McCain is. When was the last time a president died in ...

The Great Veep Cop Out
By their choice of running mates it is clear that the Presidential candidates don't believe their own arguments against each other. The relatively young and inexperienced Obama opts for the grey Biden and the jaded McCain for the smart goodlooking but raw Palin! They now are stuck with selling the idea to the voters that Biden is capable of ...
