The reason for Obama being president that keeps being repeated here is that Palin SHOULDN'T be.
Not that strong of a case FOR your guy.

Since you free market GOP folks are so big on the fact that the market will get things right, take a look at the intrade prediction market for the election:

"If you all are so confident in your guy, why all the angst? "
Because folks like you and Lois seem intent on supporting her no matter how plainly unqualified she is.
Bad? No Jody, the interview was not bad. It was a travesty. I am not exaggerating when I say she could not say one thing with any sort of clarity. The entire interview showed no knowledge or interest in issues of national importance--none--beyond what Fatty's people have fed her the past few weeks. And even that she messed up badly. It was all Palibabble.
Don't take my word for it, watch the clips yourself. See why many conservatives are deeply concerned about her fitness for office.
And if you want to see how I or others feel about Obama, bump an old thread. I'm not going to play red herring.

Fatty, the trouble with the shia sunni gaffe is that he seemed actually confused. His pal Joe Lieberman had to coreect him.
Then, Ooops! he did it again.
But...I think it was probably just a momentary brain fart.

A minor point concerning confusion.
A president has to deal with confusing situations and do it adroitly when facing the best people on two legs - with a lot at stake.
We need to elect people who can work in that environment.
It is one of the many job requirements.

"Why should Obama be president?"
Because he's black, liberal, and a muslim. That's sure to piss off a lot of conservatives!

It is McCain and the Republicans who needed Palin. They needed Palin to "reenergize" their campaign and create more "enthusiasm"for the McCain ticket. Why did they need her so much? Why are they so attracted to her?
What is so wrong about McCain that he needed to bring in someone like Palin to even have a chance at winning?

"You used "tired old man", then Obama must be a Muslim."
Fattrad, your logic is faulty. "Tired old man" may be rude and not PC but is is mostly true. McCain is indisputably old and indisputably a man, and as a human, he is tired for much of each day (at least while he is sleeping). So the statement is at least 66% true 100% of the time, and 100% true about 33% of the time (at least).
On the other hand, your statement that Obama is 100% false 100% of the time.
There is only one front on which the McCain campaign is winning. They are winning the contest as to who can tell the biggest lies.
Edit: now if the phrase describing McCain was "cantankerous old man" that would have been 100% true all the time.

Why am I voting for Obama over McCain.
He is smart. He graduated high in his class from two important schools.
He understands constitutional law.
He showed a better understanding of war when he opposed the Iraq war and he showed courage of convictions by opposing it when it was politically difficult to oppose it. He didn't bow to pressure as McCain has on many many subjects including torture.
He wants All Americans to have health care.
He can think on his feet.
He doesn't play silly little games like McCain, such as not looking at the person you are debating.
He doesn't bow to the religious right.
He can control his temper, unlike McCain.
He understands that taking a position of not listening to your enemies leaves you trapped in a corner of only being able to resort to force. Something McCain does not understand.
There you go. Just a few reasons I will be voting for him.
Oh yes, and he can dunk.
Edit: To add, his tax plan makes a hell of a lot more sense for the average American then does McCain's.

Because I don't like McCain either.
I have posted why I don't like McCain. I admit, Obama would be much worse, but I am tired of voting against people, I want to vote FOR someone.
I am leaning toward Allan Keyes.
Obama's gaffe might have been an excusable misstatement...I'll concede that point. I just wish you folks could be equal opportunity gaffe criticizers.

Fatty his own excuse for making those gaffes was that he had had an extremely demanding and tiring trip. And he IS old. Trying to spin your own guy's spin is kind of stupid.

He can really dunk?
That's good enough for me.
Hell, If seeing Russia from Alaska qualifies for VPsoontobePOTUS, then dunkin' is a way better qualifier.

SUPREME COURT QUESTION CONFIRMED!!
Haha this is great and will air on Thursday before the debate. In addition to not being able to name a single newspaper that she reads (even after claiming that she reads a number of them AND was a friggin journalism major) she apparently can not name a single Supreme Court decision besides Roe vs Wade. She just deer in headlights.
Schadenfreude has never felt so good.
