Looking more like 5%, but yep nice mandate. I know Bush actually lost the popular vote in 2000 and won by 2.5% in 2004.

I agree. Congratulations to Obama. It's time for him to run a muck with a 3% popular vote mandate. I'm gearing up for 2012...

You talking about Obama? Since we're talking about the financial mess in America, that happened on the Republican watch, I would be more concerned with - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eUz13-pmTY

There are more quotes and video with McCain pointing out to everybody he just has no clue when it comes to this economy/financial stuff.

I saw earlier today that "Socialism" was the #10 keyword searched for on Yahoo. Interesting it came the day after The Obama's infomercial.

First, I apologize for posting this a little late.

I was watching a re-run of Gunsmoke on TVLand and had some concern about a situation that Festus was involved in. But at the end he managed to get the jump on those filthy moonshiners just in the nick of time and Doc patched him right up.

Anyway, isn't this the guy that said, "Oh this financial mess America's in... Yeah it sucks, but hey - just call my cellularized telephone if you need me... Hell, I even got GoToMeeting on my damn laptop."

I don't remember the exact quote.

Yeah, he did kind of break his pledge, give you that. But McCain is using tax dollars to fund his campaign, Obama isn't. And these socialist comments you've made. Let's be real:

Support of bailout - socialist?

McCain's 300 billion buying up of mortages - socialist?

$5000 to everybody for health - more government taking care of people.

McCain was born into this world using government run healthcare and uses it today.

I tell you the biggest promise he broke, putting the country first. You guys know he could have picked any number of people that were more qualified than Palin. He put his own self interests/his party ahead of country.

These Obama and terrorists issues. The ones tied to Obama, teach college here in the U.S. McCain help fund one of their organizations with half a million dollars. The guy he hired to run his transistion team, a Saddam Hussein lobbyist. They hung that terrorist, he's not over each teaching at our schools. Nice ties there.

VP pick, a seccionist. Husband was a member in the organization, she spoke at them. Video of them saying we got the governor we wanted in Palin. Did you listen to the speech she gave in Alaska after getting the VP pick? Sounded like she thought the U.S. was some foreign country. A lot of us and them.

McCain and the economy, same as Bush. He says we'll cut spending, they'll all say that. But where is the money going to come from for the 300 billion buying up of mortages, the $5000 for health for each person, Palin wanting to fulling fund special nees programs? That money doesn't grow on trees.

Economy, McCain admits he doesn't have a clue, just some of his comments in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eUz13-pmTY

So the Repubicans in a nutshell have a Socialist and a Seccionist for their ticket. Doesn't sound too American to me.

But really, breaking the campaign finance promise is the last time he'll break a promise.

Gigantic increases in spending and tax cuts are really going to happen... really.

Riveting infomercial! I was expecting the “Billy Mays here…” introduction. Can we get 2 Barrack Obama's if we vote in the next 15 minutes?

The only reason he had the $$$ to run the infomercial is because he broke a pledge to the American people on public financing limits.

John McCain kept his promise. Yes, honor and integrity maters when you run a campaign on Hope and Change.

Re: Biden Thinks Hillary Would Make a Better Vice President

So Joe Biden goes in hiding for a week and finally comes out to say, "uh yeah, I think I'm the wrong guy for the job. Obama really should've picked Hillary."

What a couple of jokes.

Re: Sarah Palin Speech at the Republican National Convention

So many smart, stinging lines in there.

It was funny on the Fox News coverage - they had to prompt Howard Wolfson to criticize the speech, because he was lavishing praise on it.

I find it unusual that a lot of coverage points out that a speechwriter wrote it for her.

I don't recall ever hearing that clarification for Obama.

Thanks Lavelle -

I did see that yesterday - the guy from US was ridiculous. They had time to print all sorts of insinuations and smears, but didn't manage to find time to include the details.

Re: Sarah Palin Speech at the Republican National Convention

CNN summed up the media’s total lack of any substantial response after Palin's speech.

- “Grab that person and let’s get their response to the speech.”
- “Hold on, they’re singing the national anthem. Let’s stand and listen for a moment.”
- “Wait, can we listen to this for a minute? This is the kind of country music that Americans rarely get to hear in a setting like this.”
- “We’re going to take a commercial break and be right back with our response.”

Come on CNN it took you 15 minutes, literally 15 minutes after Palin's speech, to pick your jaws up off the floor and you still couldn’t muster up a thought-provoking response or analysis.

One of my favorite lines from Palin, "But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate."

Overall this was an incredible speech. I'm just a little disappointed cause I thought speaker Christy Swanson was actually going to be vampire slayer, Kristy Swanson - http://www.kristyswansononline.com/ :(

Re: Obama Camp Demeans Accomplishments of Sarah Palin

lavellecollins — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:27:23 -0000

Obama/Biden will self-destruct by attacking Gov. Palin like this. Besides, as mentioned, Palin (aside from being "a typical white person who clings to her guns and religion" in the words of Obama) has more executive experience than Obama does.

Just compare the executive accomplishments between the two. Obama has none.

Obama votes on issues (when he's not simply voting "present"). Palin has to deal with issues like education, energy, economy, health care, and the Alaska National Guard head on.

And, she has a 80% approval rate among Alaskans. But the fact that we're even comparing a VP candidate's experience and accomplishments with those of a Presidential candidate has to be embarrassing to Obama and his fan club.

Great article. I'm a bit new to twitter but I've already seen it's potential. It'll be interesting to see how it develops in the future as well.
