The economic crisis is just another indication of a strategic mistake by McCain's camp. Everybody knew the economy was unstable. He needed to go with a VP with wall-street cred, not main-street cred. He blew it big time. |

Best of luck to all of you though with this downturn. On a good note, Palin dumping money onto businesses to look good can only help the economy. Think of that, if Obama used all the money he raised on shopping sprees with his family, we would get pulled right out of this mess. Obama should simply say "Vote for me and I will spend $600 million on clothes, videogames and socks" and the economy will change. He would have my vote.

I would spin it as another example of poor judgment and lack of awareness. In short, "look at the new dumb thing Sarah Palin has done."

The only reason Wright became such an issue was because the guy wouldn't shut up and he forced media coverage. Americans were predisposed to blame McCain, via Republicans, for the economic crisis. McCain didn't handle it well, but Obama did nothing except stand still and stare, and still benefited.

One sexy thought.....if it costs $150K to get Palin into her clothes, I wonder how much Hef is going to offer to get her out of her clothes?

Where's Nixon when we need him? One of the more famous political speeches in American history was Nixon's "Checkers Speech," when he responded to the Dems' queries about his being on the take from special interests. Here's a key passage, after going over his net worth and typical expenditures:
Well, that's about it. That's what we have. And that's what we owe. It isn't very much. But Pat and I have the satisfaction that every dime that we've got is honestly ours. I should say this, that Pat doesn't have a mink coat. But she does have a respectable Republican cloth coat, and I always tell her she'd look good in anything.
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/spee...ncheckers.html The site has a video of a portion of the speech; it's interesting how speaking styles and production values have changed. By the way, I was seven weeks old when the speech was given, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. |
