Palin's bounce is hopefully over!!!

PS Hope I'm posting this in the right place!

[saltpoint]

1. Paln's bounce was a mirage.

Now McCain's on his own against Barack Obama on the debate stage.

[opihimoimoi]

5. Palins Bounce is fast becoming a DRAG

McPains History in the Senate is dooming him to lose.....

He is definitely NOT a McHero

More like a ZERO

His Team sucks

His rhetoric Sucks

His body language sucks

His choice for veep sucks

His MEism sucks....its always about HIM...not Country....

Obama is a WE Guy...its all about WE.....

[The Hope Mobile]

14. Yup, and he doesn't even realize it yet! I think he's been thrilled

to show off his purty little partner and let her carry the weight for a while. "Yea, she's got energy, people like her . . . Heck yes, I can take another nap".
He's WAY too old for this.

[Omnibus]

2. Now that it's about the issues again...

...we have the advantage.

This week, America didn't receive a wake-up call; instead, the girl from the front desk came up and slapped us in the face.

Twice.

So far.

The Palin/lipstick/image/narrative Publican strategy has just been gutted like a moose. Suddenly, issues trump rhetoric, and McCain's only high cards are in a suit no one's leading.

It's sad that it takes a catastrophe to make America choose substance over smokescreens, but it's nice to know we still have that capability.

[The Hope Mobile]

4. I hate to think that economic catastrophe is good for us in any way

but if that's what it takes for the sheeple to wake up, a little pain in the short term could mean a lot of gain in the long run!!!
:-( about the economy (though not surprised- they held it off as long as they could)
Woot woot for the US if we finally wake up!!!

[AzNick]

10. Time for a New New Deal... or New Deal 2.0... or whatever ...

Expect the media to use either terms.

Mark my word.

I think New Deal 2.0 would fit Obama better, him being the candidate of the new age, who uses the Internet to his advantage the best, etc... and also elected (if everything keeps going as they are), by the Internet generation.

New New Deal would be more in phase with older demographic medias, like NYT, Time, etc...

Whatever we call it, we need one.

Oh, and that situation makes me want to cry, because many people are going to lose their jobs.

[The Hope Mobile]

12. Obama's the guy to bring it . . . but I agree. This country and the

true majority of its people have suffered enough. We are struggling and we really do need "change we can believe in".

[Spritz57]

3. I'll feel better when

Obama gets to 51%

[depakid]

6. Apparently, a knock upside the head was needed

and the markets delivered.

It's essentially a vote of "no confidence" with both the McCain and Bush camp and with those who've bought into previous rounds of their propaganda and deregualtory policies- both here and abroad.

Like or no- the US is still a leader in many things, and it's long past time that we put people back in office who lead with intelligence as opposed to ideology.

8. Political Karma! nt

[kskiska]

7. I was called by Rasmussen today

Hope it helped.

[lonestarnot]

9. Wooodamnwhoo!

:applause:

[AzNick]

11. Thanks. Now I can go to bed happy.

Does not beat a good sex session, but it will be fine.

[The Hope Mobile]

13. I did my best! :)

[pa28]

15. I guess the a$$ kicking strategy is working.

Keep going with what works.

[The Hope Mobile]

22. That's what I think. As long as they're blunt, focus on the issues and

call McCain on his BS, her on her lack of experience, especially in light of the current financial situation, and the networks continue to cooperate it should become pretty smooth sailing again.

I think maybe the MSM are starting to worry about what happens to them during a total financial meltdown. IMHO

[Imagevision]

16. I'll bet Mccain will start bitching to Sarah, "what are you doing?!?!

[The Hope Mobile]

23. Don't forget calling her the C word too.

[shaniqua6392]

17. My Mom was polled by Quinnipiac yesterday.

There were questions about Palin and boy did she give them an earful!! She is very pro-Obama. She wrote down all the questions that she was asked and we are waiting for the polling results to come out. She was so thrilled that someone asked her opinion that she thanked them for calling!!

[OakCliffDem]

18. The Palin bounce has turned into a gutter ball

[Xipe Totec]

19. It was a dead moose bounce nt

[happygoluckytoyou]

20. THE TITS HAVE LOST THEIR BOUNCE ? THE VIAGRA HAS WORN OFF ITS LIFT ? McCain SAGS IN THE POLES ?

[DFW]

21. A week ago, it was them.

This still ain't over.

I will say, however, that jokes about McCain's sagging being due to his forgetting
to take his Viagra are fair game........

[Pattib]

24. Yeah! I knew Obama would go back up...happend fast too!

[shrike]

25. Gotta be higher come election day

Because they'll be doing their damndest to steal it.

[hasssan1]

26. Good news and I hope obama & Biden keep fighting back HARD AND TOUGH every day till NOV 4

GOD BLESS OBAMA / BIDEN
