Palin Choice Necessary Because . . .
they've given up on swinging any non-racist independents and are actually worried about just mobilizing the most conservative portions of their base . . .

I mean, I can't make sense of it any other way, although there may be additional considerations . . .

And if you do read it that way, then I can't help also wondering about a need to keep the race close enough to make any "win" by virtue of election fraud plausible . . .

Anyone else thinking along these lines?

2. I think you're right - also to get the women vote...


But I don't think the working class white women who supported Hillary will vote for a beauty queen with big hair.

4. Agreed.
She wasn't a choice for Democrats or independents. McSame had to do something to motivate his base. As for the debates and the rest of the campaign, all Obama and Biden have to do is state their case. Fraud is something I am worried about here in Ohio. However, our Democratic Secretary of State is bracing for 80% turnout and the only way we can beat fraud is massive, massive turnout.

As an aside, I saw a McSame commercial and the weird female voiceover said something to the effect, 'celebrities don't have to worry about the family budget.' Yea, and neither does McSame! Ten houses! FFS. We all must be stupid.

5. I said this before - the polls are the key to vote theft. By introducing this
jaw dropping choice, they can say that it is difficult to predict and they will have a pass to tip the results to make it look close. They need closeness in order to steal again. There are pollsters and the entire corporate media to help once again. They had already destroyed the exit-polling. They can take advantage of their superior position to steal again.

It will be essential to find statisticians and pollssters with integrity.

6. I think Mcidiot knows he will lose the election.
and is going to chose a scapegoat to blame the lose on.

This is how to throw a election.

8. I think you're right
This was a desperation move.

Fortunately, I think most people are reading it exactly that way.

9. Gustav is coming. Oil production down. Time to drill in Alaska.
They will once again try to scare the American public into voting for them. It's going to be quite a spectacle.
