Wouldn't it be a grand idea to open up a new (perhaps temporary) political forum on MDB for just this type of discussion?


Do we really need a political forum here? This board at least understands agency. Perhaps you meant the MADB?

She got better when she got off the family issue and got to attacking Democrats. Her pitbull/lipstick comment was quite apt after she went on offense. Funny too.

My impression is that we can start and have political discussions here, at least in the off topic forum.

Slow Joe Biden is in trouble.


The only hope he has is if the podiums are close enough so he can goose her during the debate.

The left-wing commentators are absolutely stunned. They know Obama could easily have his hat handed to him by this tandem.

We already have that. The Off-Topic Forum is described as "The forum to discuss politics, hobbies, or anything else non-LDS related."

PN: It's over.

MM: Still McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech to do himself some good.

CT: I also think the Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too.

PN: Saw Kay this morning.

CT: Yeah, she's never looked comfortable about this --

MM: They're all bummed out.

CT: Yeah, I mean is she really the most qualified woman they could have turned to?

PN: The most qualified? No! I think they went for this -- excuse me-- political b***s*** about narratives --

CT: Yeah they went to a narrative.

MM: I totally agree.

PN: Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.

MM: You know what's really the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and this is cynical.

CT: This is cynical, and as you called it, gimmicky.

MM: Yeah.



Never the less the number two person on the republican ticket has far more experience than Mr. Obama does. Well he does have his Harvard degree after all.

You people are living in a wonderland if you think Palin is going to help more than hurt the republican cause. I guess you need to look at it positively.

I just think it's hilarious that you don't get that this has to be one of the most transparent political moves ever made, and an insult to the intelligence of American women. Oh well.

"Wait... she's got a vagina?! Well I'm sold! McCain in 2008!"

I'm sure she'll make a great VP... at least, once she finds out what the job entails.

The same could be said for Obama and the Presidency ..

Bill Clinton was reported to have said: "Nobody is qualified to be President on day one"..

Not sure I like Gov. Palin but she was good last night.. Only time will tell.
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.
