I think it was a storm in a teacup, the press will pounce on anything to try and make a story!

You have a point about picking candidates with minimal experience. If experience was important then Romney, Biden and Richardson would still be contenders.

This election is like gettin' all duded up on a friday night and finding every single gal in the club looks like Miss Piggy. I plan on joining the communist party this November and for the next four years eat stale bread and call 1-800 BEATME everytime I feel like complaining. Screw it.

Can you explain what Obama stands for and what his goals will be if he becomes President?
Don't get me wrong. I am not pro-Obama. He has shown me nothing. By process of elimination I am going for McCain.

I sure wish he didn't have a Muslim-sounding name. Maybe it will be positive thing if he gets elected and help to garner friendlier relations with Muslim nations - I don't know

I'm posting over at a white nationalist web site, they are having a friggin fit. It's funny to read back into the past and the panic slowly build after each Obama win.

And they went absolutely bonkers over his church's mission statement. Rightfully so I might add. No way a white man could attend a church that says stuff like that and run for president.

Could you give me the link? White supremists always give me a good laugh.

The California GOP's think that McCain can win in November, no matter who the opponent will be. Meanwhile, stay tuned for more of Hillary's bashing on Obama. She must be losing her mind.

I can say that she definitely needs a crash course on election strategy. She has been under the impression that the name "Clinton" would guarantee her a victory; and that considering anyone else is pure fallacy. Now, she's finding out that she has seriously miscalculated.
So much so, that Obama actually benefits from these bashing attempts- but she still hasn't learned that lesson either!

The election strategy in 2008 must be different than 1992 or 1996 when Billy Boy was elected both times. Must have been his charm.
