I tell ya, at this rate, she is.

If anything, I feel bad for poor Quayle now.

OK, I actually don't, but you wouldn't blame me if I did, right?

McCain pulling out of Michigan

John McCain is pulling out of Michigan, according to two Republicans, a stunning move a month away from Election Day that indicates the difficulty Republicans are having in finding blue states to put in play.

McCain will go off TV in Michigan, stop dropping mail there and send most of his staff to more competitive states, including Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida. Wisconsin went for Kerry in 2004, Ohio and Florida for Bush.

McCain's campaign didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Republicans had been bullish on Michigan, hopeful that McCain's past success in the state in the 2000 primary combined with voter dissatisfaction with Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and skepticism among blue-collar voters about Barack Obama could make it competitive.

McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin spent the night after the GOP convention at a large rally in Macomb County, just outside Detroit. The two returned later last month for another sizable event in Grand Rapids.

But recent polls there have shown Obama extending what had been a small lead, with the economic crisis damaging an already sagging GOP brand in a state whose economy is in tatters.

A McCain event planned for next week in Plymouth, Michiigan, has been canceled.

-----------------------------

So McCain closed his offices in Iowa last week, and now Michigan....when will the bleeding stop for that campaign?

Dan Quayle was only humorous because never actually became President. If anything would have happened to Bush, God only knows what would have happened.

If he became President, "found God", he probably would have been Dubya about 8+ plus before our reality.

Isn't it unfortunate when so many Americans focus so much attention on the Vice-Presidential candidate? Isn't just as unfortunate (maybe even more so) when a Presidential candidate focus so much attention and hope on his Vice -Presidential running mate.

Of the Republicans, I am so much reminded of Bob Dole in '96 stating the his choice of Jack Kemp would energize the Party. Isn't the Party's Presidential candidate supposed to do that?

I like Bob Dole, but he had no chance in 96. Clinton was so popular, nobody was going to beat him.

It has nothing to do with hatred and plenty to do with the election. It has nothing to do with what is perceived to be "fair." Palin opened her entire past, including her family, to the public eye when she accepted the nomination. If she didn't want the attention, all she had to do was tell McCain "no thank you." This is not a part-time position in which she is seeking. How it has to do with the election is quite simple. It shows the character of the candidate. It also shows her judgment. I find both to be severely flawed.

I know two mothers of kids with Downs Syndrome. They are constantly going to doctors appointments or having to stay home with their Downs kids, who have a much tougher time staying healthy. Palin's 17 year old and infant need their mother right now, plain and simple. In particular, the infant needs its mom.

Palin made a conscious decision to place more emphasis on her own career and ambitions than the needs of two of her children. Is she the first parent to do so? Absolutely not. But the stakes are much higher here - our country. We are fighting two wars and are in economic trouble. And the United States cannot afford a Vice President zoning out at a national security meeting because her mind is distracted about children. The Vice Presidency is not a position where the country can afford splitting time between work and home life.


Those of you who consider yourselves Conservatives might want to ask Dr. Laura Schlessinger her opinion of Palin's juggling children and career.

Well, you and I are pretty much on the same page, Olivant (conservative Democrats), but isn't Dr. Laura pretty much Ann Coulter with a psychology degree and a better dye job?

There was no wars, the economy was prospering, and honestly the GOP that year didn't have anything to hang their hat on in terms of solutions/answers, or what they framed as the fundamental questions/issues.

The Dole campaign basically was that Clinton is a devilish whore-mongering scumbag*, and that we needed more tax cuts. That was it, that was Dole's whole campaign.

BTW, you all know that Dole is the only American to have been nominated for both President (1996) and Vice-President (1976) and win neither office?

*=Which was true, but

I'm really surprised that the holier-than-thou conservatives didn't get a hard-on about Dole being the spokesman.

Oops, that was pretty bad. grin

Liberal, liberal, liberal. Is that supposed to be akin to "Anti-Christ"?

You don't think she'd be getting criticism if she was running on the Democratic ticket?? Puh-leeze. If Biden was unable to name a newspaper or explain the Bush doctrine or had an unmarried pregnant 17 year old daughter or claimed that his foreign policy experience came from the fact that he could LOOK at another country from his state or if he was unable to name a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade, then that's just reeks of partisan blindness.

Nope.

She'd be a media darling, and would be, of course, a revolutionary for helping women to break the glass ceiling. Nobody could so much as touch her.

Palin started out fairly strong, but we're at the 25 minute mark, and she hasn't answered the last 3 questions.

That's patently absurd. She is what she is. Her party affiliation has nothing to do with the low public opinion of her.

Precisely. I thought she would be good, to be honest. She's been thoroughly prepped. And she certainly knows how to deliver a line. Truth be told, she's a more magnetic speaker than Biden.

However, she has also avoided several questions by talking around them until the time ran out, deregulation for example.
