6. thanks - I saw that earlier but couldn't figure out what it sounded familiar

:dunce:

[DarthDem]

2. Fascinating!! Thanks!

He did NOT say that she was an inexperienced lightweight or even go anywhere near the issue. He's so smart. He understands that such issues are best raised by surrogates, and that he should stay on message and be positive. Very cool.

I also like the part where he tosses in a joke and Biden cracks up. :-)

8. Obama ignoring Palin... BEAUTIFUL....

Yup, I agree...

Actually... I like the tactic that they are being nice... but essentially ignoring Palin as a "non entity".

In effect saying WTF cares?

McCain, with or without, Palin is more of the same.

Period.

20. i have a man crush on obama. the guy takes my positions pretty much 100% of the time.

its like i finally have my own personal politician that mirrors my sentiments exactly every time.

11. He did refer to her as "up and coming" nice code word, Obama is a Class act

BRAVO!

[Catch22Dem]

3. HAHAHA, "I'm sure she's a fine mother"

I'm gonna get slammed for that one, but I guess that's OK with me.

[gateley]

4. "She's....an UP AND COMING public servant"

:rofl:

[RollWithIt]

7. He may as well have said, "I don't really know who she is."

God it's going to be funny to watch our side rip the McCain-Token ticket.

[Heather MC]

12. McToken

:rofl:

[Fearless]

9. Well spoken.

[bjobotts]

18. She doesn't matter, she's insignificant. Just another McCain follower

[Fearless]

21. Imagine what it must feel like clinging to the coattails of McLame.

:rofl:

[Qutzupalotl]

10. "Joe Biden doesn't bite his tongue."

That gives me hope.

[SmellsLikeDeanSpirit]

13. Smart move by Obama. Just ignore her and let her flake out on her own.

[Swagman]

14. what a dignified man he is !

[RoccoR5955]

15. Only mentioned her by name ONCE!

This tells me something. Either that they want to not mention her much, or that Obama is playing shrewd with this. Everything he says about her is true, he never said a bad thing about her, but that she stands up for McCain's values. Very good tactic.

So who's it gonna be?
Obama/Biden
or
Geezer/Gidget?

[Bette Noir]

16. So polite.

Obama is such a gentleman. May we make him president now?

[barack the house]

17. Excellent make itabout McCain he got the memo yay.

[dennis4868]

19. Obama did...

make an issue of Palin inexperience in a round about way when he said that Biden is ready to be President on day one....He is not going to directly attack her experience....only a Repub would do that if the roles were reversed.

[kwolf68]

22. I don't know but

Obama, I think, may be more clever than Clinton, Kennedy, the whole lot of em. The guy has a chance.

[mogster]

23. Obama looks so sane and does not attack Palin at all

It good to see him talk, he just comes across as something entirely different than McCain. Not to mention the president you have today, lol ;-)
Imagine having this guy up there, its like a dream coming true. And Joe Biden too, he's the perfect running mate. Not to mention all the Democrats behind them; Dean, Kerry, Gore, the list is almost endless. All sane people who will try to do what's best for the nation, without going bananas on a whim.
Yorop needs politicians like that too! :P
