I made a point of watching Sean Hannity's interview with the McCains last night (and I can't STAND Sean Hannity ;-) ... I wanted to hear McCain's ideas/solutions for our domestic and foreign issues. Sean never asked him anything important. It was all Obama-this and Obama-that. Moan and groan. Nothing whatsoever offered in relation to McCain's plans for getting our nation back on the upswing. Here he was in a "safe" media environment with plenty of opportunity to get to the meat of things. And nothing. Nothing offered to improve his chances of being elected. Gotta tell ya, honey. I have Republican friends who are voting for Obama, and McCain has no one to blame but himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Can't win if all ya do is talk about the other guy. DOH! Aim gun at foot... Fire. Done.

Matt pressed him again and he didnt budge from his position. America is chewing out or defending this woman and he can easily call her an unworthy moron (maybe not those words lol), but he doesnt. The target is McCain and they treat her like an afterthought even after a few weeks ago she accused him of 'palling around with terrorists.' That WOULD be fighting words to some people, but obviously not him. That's a man with class people .

I'm wondering if it's pre-emptive, since the GOP seems to be talking about her like she's the new "rising star" (morons).

Originally Posted By SuperDry The wink is perhaps a bit much, but I think the rest of the ad is right on the mark. Do we want to elect a President next week that is on record saying he really doesn't understand the economy, and will rely on his VP for advice on such matters? It's certainly a lot more on the mark than commenting on what one of Obama's neighbors did when Barack was 8 years old.
Originally Posted By mele I don't think the wink was a bit much. It was embarrassing to watch her constantly wink at the camera. The sure mark of a woman who has gotten away with murder by being adorable. It was unprofessional and demeaning to the women who bust their asses everyday. Meh.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Hmm, I did spoke too soon but that ad was classic lol. Again though, it was more about attacking McCain than Palin. They just used her to show what an idiot he was for picking an idiot lol.
