That’s right, V the K, and thanks to a vigilant MSM and a justifiably appalled candidate, that impertinent sonofabitch got what he deserved: untold media intrusion; revocation of privacy; bitchy public ridicule in speeches from BOTH candidates, a government investigation; and a big, heaping helping of liberal personal destruction.

Obama and Biden are fu*king scumbags.

Nice try, though, ND30, on the desperate appeal to sexism “Pseudocons wanted a suitably subservient woman like Hutchinson and Snowe”. I love it. So now the charge against all McCain non-backers is that the women they would have liked are too Stepford-like.

It is sexism, and that is the problem. Palin is someone who rocked the Alaska Republican establishment, resulting in quite a few people being fined, kicked out of office, and losing elections to her, and the people who are opposed to her here are a) repulsed by a woman doing that and b) scared to death that she’ll do the same to them.

Finally, you expect us to assume, torrentprime, that liberal pseudocons like yourself who were already in the tank for Obama from the start are judging Palin fairly.

And before you call this the best election ever, bear in mind that people haven’t voted yet. And recall that in 2004, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe called that election night the best ever, based on exit polls not actual votes.

In the past two days alone, Palin has answered questions from her national press corps on three separate occasions. On Saturday, she held another plane availability, and on Sunday, she offered an impromptu press conference on the tarmac upon landing in Colorado Springs. A few minutes later, she answered even more questions from reporters during an off-the-record stop at a local ice cream shop.

By contrast, Biden hasn’t held a press conference in more than a month, and Obama hasn’t taken questions from his full traveling press corps since the end of September. John McCain—who spent most of the primary season holding what seemed like one, never-ending media availability—hasn’t done one since Sept. 23.

Speaking of desperation, why did the Obamunists see fit to try and destroy Joe the plumber? Why the elitist snobbery of “whoever heard of a plumber making $250,000?”, because WE ALL KNOW they’re poor proles who can’t keep their britches up, after all.

And what the hell was Comrade Obama doing in NH if the election’s a mere formality to find out who the thought criminals are?

“[...the decisions are] not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they’re popular, they’re probably not sound.”

Actually, it sounds to me like Biden just admitted President Bush has been right all along,

Which of course, he has, and he and Obama, and really, all the Democrats, have come around to Bush’s policies on everything from the surge to wiretapping to the patriot act.

Freudian confession.

Except that the questions are softballs and the answers are still the same talking points, though more polished.

Um, how is that any different from Obama or Biden? They answer questions with non-answers, or worse, with complete falsehoods, and get away with it utterly because it sounds polished. You are comparing Palin to others, not on her relevant abilities, accomplishments or intellect, but comparing her bullshiting abilities after 7 weeks practice to Obama who has been doing it for 2 years, and Biden and McCain who have been doing it for decades.

One is not indicative of the other.

So, apparently, the “change we can believe in” is just untested inexperience that will expose our nation to international threats and peril right off the bat–peril that could have been avoided with the election of a more experienced candidate to the Presidency (if you agree with Joe Biden).

When and if Obama is called upon to make such “difficult and unpopular” decisions, they will likely be along the lines of: appeasing genocidal, imperialist dictators; deferring to anti-American international organizations; or refusing to defend and protect America and its citizens. Accordingly, I’ll stick with Obama for as long as the Left stuck with Bush when he made the “unpopular decision” to defend this country against Islamic psychopaths and mass-murdering dictators–for about a nanosecond.

The difference between the two VP candidates is rather stark; as just one example, Biden channels $2 million from his failed presidential campaigns to enrich his family, while Palin channels millions of dollars of oil and gas royalties to all Alaskans. Biden has spent three decades doing nothing to end political corruption and has aided and abetted it in the Democrat Party; Palin in just three years got crooked and unethical members of her own party thrown off state commissions and kicked out of office.

Finally, the funny part is that the left was correct when it accused some Republicans of misogyny; fortunately for us, all of them left and are now backing Obama, just like you. Pseudocons wanted a suitably subservient woman like Hutchinson and Snowe, and they certainly had no interest in a Republican woman who had gotten the state party chair brought up on ethics charges and had destroyed two corrupt male gubernatorial candidates.

What Biden did say, for those who don’t drink the GOP Kool-Aid anymore, is that Obama will most likely be called upon to make difficult and unpopular decisions, and that his fans today should stick with him tomorrow, even when those decisions don’t bring high poll numbers, even when those decisions don’t seem easy. “Lowering expectations” indeed. I suppose such out-and-out lying about Biden’s speech is just another sign of the current right’s current desperation, so, good on ya GPW.

And GPW, given the number of papers of record breaking decades of endorsements of Republicans in order to endorse Obama, adding that to everything from Powell’s choice to Adelman’s to dear-God Hitchen’s, all citing the Palin pick as one of the primary reasons, don’t you think it’s about time you stop pretending the Palin pick is being judged solely on a few stumbled lines to one interviewer? It’s a totality of the circumstances thing, my friend, and the poll numbers of Americans’ impression of Palin and the number of conservatives and conservative papers jumping ship over Palin bear this out.

If they want to judge Sarah Palin by one bad interview, shouldn’t we judge her rival by a series of silly statements?

It was two interviews, Gibson and Kuric, and – absolutely.

Palin HAS become more accessible to the press, and that’s a good thing. Except that the questions are softballs and the answers are still the same talking points, though more polished.

What a suckey election this is.
