  • Re: I don't really see the big deal

    I agree...I think it's a non-issue (me-Independant voter, not rich...). In fact, I think Slate is showing their political cards by having an article on this. These kind of articles are what justify the FOX news watchers (my mother!) into labeling the media the 'liberal elite'. On top of the fact, it's sexist. I haven't heard anything reported ...

  • Shadow in the Dark

    I believe when you pick the right leader, you have a prosperous nation. The Media is casting more emphasis on the factor of who will be the Vice President than on the issues. They are not the people who will be making the major decision! The Media are closing their minds to the important factors, and keeping the facts from the Nation. Is this ...

  • 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 ...

  • Why I think it's a deceptively brilliant choice

    Okay, so I am not Rebublican. But I must say I am impressed with McCain's choice of VP, even though, at first blush, it seems incongruous. But that's just it. It catches you off guard. It makes you think, why? Something about her, obviously, got the attention of the GOP, and made someone say, aha, she's the one! And then you start coming up with ...

  • Sarah shakes!

    If the Republicans are planning to lose in 2008 with the goal toward winning in 2012 and 2016 the choice of Sarah Palin is sound. It shakes everything up and puts pessure on Obama's choice of a token white. Unless he can dramatically change things he will be blamed for both the war and the recession.

  • White Democrat racism, you mean.

    While the author mentions only ''whites'' without mention of party affiliation, this article is dripping with contempt for McCain and therefore scapegoats some kind of Republican Party, Right-wing conspiracy to suppress a candidate of color. But voter rolls indicate there are more Democrats than Republicans (by no small margin), which means the ...
