CNN

America is not all about Chicago type 100K population cities, but there are smaller places all over where "bitter" Americans live.

Someone tell Biden and Obama the facts.
There guys are outtta touch.

Biden is right about that statement. That McCain Aide is the one who is really out of touch with the American people saying something like that to the Washington Post. The Economy is the top issue.

"Obama 08 enough said"

As a Proud Obamacrat I will continue to do my small (but important) part to fight for the Obama/Biden ticket. I have "faith" in the American people to make the right decision on November 4th, holding the Republican Party accountable for its consistent failures, by electing Barack Obama as our 44th President of the United States.

Yes! We! Can!

Obama/Biden '08

I am not a Democrat nor am I a Republican I vote for who I feel will best lead our country. Our country is not in the position it's in because of George Bush or because of Bill Clinton our country is in trouble because of the Democrats and Republicans in Congress. The President is but one person, Congress is many, many who are to do our business, the PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. CONGRESS HAS FAILED US MISERABLY. IF WE ALL WANT CHANGE THEN CHANGE CONGRESS, REPLACE THE OLD DO NOTHING GUARD WETHER DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN WITH NEW DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, NEW REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS WHO WILL FINALLY DO OUR WORK!!! DECIDING WHO WILL BE PRESIDENT IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT THE REAL POWER IS IN CONGRESS IF WE FIX CONGRESS WE FIX AMERICA!!!

To whom much is given much is expected. Bush has trashed this country and I do not think history will forgive him. And he has the guts to tell me that McCain/Palin are good for the American poeple. We have lost our morals.

Brad, you obviously don't know anything about Sen. Biden's entering the senate after his wife & dau. were killed. There is absolutely no comparison between he & Palin and their situations. Learn all the facts before you speak.

OBAMA/BIDEN

My last comment didn't get posted I HOPE THIS ONE DOES!!

OK, think about this. If Obama elected, Obama+Biden will lead the country. If Mccain elected, only Palin might do. Huh?

anyone that thinks that Obama has what it takes to be President, is totally incorrect.

Obama started his own down fall the moment that he chose Biden to be his VP instead of Hillary Clinton, which would have given him a slam dunk against McCain. Now McCain/Palin is going to win in November and McCain will be our next President.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter that is going to vote for McCain/Palin and then in 2012 will vote for Hillary Clinton.

Obama is totally wrong for this country and all of the blind supporters of his are only following the "Pied Piper".

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

Brad:

Do your research. Biden originally was not going to take the senate seat when his family was devastated. It took a lot of convincing for him to do it and even then chose to take the oath at the hospital while at the side of his sons.

The hypocrisy is that your candidate seems to think that us women are too stupid to think for ourselves and research this woman that we have never heard of. I immediately did a google search and came up with all kinds of stuff on her, most of which is now out but there are still other issues that noone is talking about yet.

She's married to a terroist/anti america/alaska first/ you name it, and she was a beauty queen, dirt bike owner, univ of idaho, sports caster, small town mayor and just became gov of alsaka (helpgin eskimos)...what the hell... he went to columbia, harvard and taught at the univ of chicago, community organizer, state senator, federal enantor, voted, confirmed nominated to be president by over 18million votes, and this is a comparison!!! You can justify all you want but the american people will never buy palin, that is anyone with a brain in their little heads....

It is very laughable to hear Obama talk about "change."

Biden is an old, liberal party hack.

why can sen Obama not answer a direct criticism, whether it's personal or on his policies he backs down and then comes back one or two days later with some type of rhetoric or a press conference to explain. decisiveness does not mean let me think about it and I'll get back to you. if our country comes to peril a decision as to be made when you get that phone call not the next day. you can work out strategy later but not after the ship as sank. then it's to late

So the McCain camp says the election is about personas, not issues. Wow. Perhaps that's why they called Americans whinners and said we are suffering from a mental recession. Perhaps that's why one of McCain's top aids said the poor do not need health care – that's what emergency rooms are for. And I always thought they were for emergencies. Silly me.

If the campaign is all about pounding in lies long and hard enough, with all the right fluff, to win folks over like McCain's twin, W, did, then God help us all.

Obama knows how to deliver his speech eloquantly;
Biden talks even more. That's why Biden is so
notrorius on the Senate for knowing how to talk, but without
accomplitsh anything.

Manuel TX September 3rd, 2008 2:47 pm ET

Noone is saying not to vote for McCain. It is your vote use it wisely or waste it. The reason Hillary lost is because she went NEGATIVE hard and early. She mismanaged her campaign and her money. Most of us that were for Obama were willing to vote for her if she had won.

Who is McCain running against? Sounds like Obama is now running against Palin. That is funny. The dems are wishing they could flip their ticket to be Biden/Obama.

We are going to lose this one too. Brillant choice on Mccain's side. 2-1 bets.

3 things you can't fix with a good speech:

1) Economy
2) War on terror
3) Healthcare

All these things are above Mr. Obama's paygrade!

Women for McCain 08/12

This election should be about the issue and the best person to handle the issues, who has the experience to actually confront the issues. Feeding despondent people with SUGAR coated speeches not based in reality of solving problems does not make change for the better. Obama talks.. That's all he does.. TALK. Half of his 3.5 yrs in the Senate has been spent running for President!!! That is not experience to solve problems, but experience to GIVE SPEECHES. I didn't drink the Koolaid then, I will not drink the Koolaid now. I do not believe in Unicorns, and I do not think Obama will provide one to everyone who votes for him. I would have voted for Hillary in a heart beat. Now I will vote for the person I think will best handle the REAL problems our country currently faces, McCain. No, I don't like alot of what McCain's personal beliefs are, but I vote not because I like what someone has to say, but whom I think will do the best job given the current situation in our country. That this time around is McCain. Not the fairy godmother guy..

Ask yourself this.
1. Do the Republicans deserve another 4 years running this country?
2. Who do you appointing the next 3 Supreme Court Judges

John McCain's reasoning for being qualified to be president of the US is because of his experience as a POW.

If George Bush wants to be called "W", we all have experiences being POW's for the last 8 years.
(Prisoners Of W's).

Prisoners of W's economic policies.
Prisoners of W getting us into unneeded wars.
Prisoners of W's idiotic appointments of people into positions they weren't capable of filling.
Prisoners of W's not being able to support this nation through his blundering Federal Agencies (FEMA, Food & Drug Admin, etc.).
Prisoners of W's lying and deceit to get rid of people that weren't "YES" men (Valerie Plame, firing lawyers who didn't agree with them, etc.).

We're all POW's. We are all eligible to run for President!

1st to all Obama Haters. lets remember Obama was voted into his position by over 18 million americans. Sarah Palin was chosen by one guy ... ( well actually he wanted liberman but his party said no... what a maverick?? And Obama one an electoral contest based on democratic party rules.

We Americans across this land realize that Obama & Biden represent the best of what will come to America. We Americans do not want deceitful wreckless crimminal leaders in our White House representing us as has been the case with President Bush which would be followed by John McCain and the worthless Republican party personnel like Carl Rove and others who throw away the lives of our beloved brave military personnel like you throw away old toys. We are human beings with rights and desires to live long lives although some will enlist their person to be available to this country for honorable needs. It is shameful that we have so called leaders like John McCain who through time obviously shows he can't lead himself let alone a country look at his Navy record in school or his Navy record in service or his Keaton 5 investigation or his first wife and family or his voting record or his pick for the Vice President, how or what shows any intelligent person John McCain could lead America except a bunch of backwards uneducated low intelligent Americans that are in the minority thank goodness which will prevail.

He was fully vetted. YES WE CAN and YES WE WILL!

Watch the RNC tonight, you want to know who Sarah Palin is? You'll see tonight. And I'll just about guarantee she will rip Joe Biden up one side and down the other in the VP debates. I hate the way democrats think they know so much because "a source" revealed info, who is the source? name? how are they involved? do you think i'm going to believe what is printed in the news? NOPE i'm going to listen to why Obama doesn't wear a flap lapel pin come from his own mouth and make me SCARED TO DEATH that this man wants to make me believe he's patriotic and vote for him....i will believe what i hear come fromt he candidates mouths themselves and not what the media claims, they will say anything to get ratings. Hey Biden, put yourself to good use and while your in Florida go help in the search for little Caylee Anthony, she is the future you and Barrack claim to change.

Can't wait to see Biden chew Palin up and spit her out come debate time!!! His 30+ years of experience working FOR people will trump her tenure as Mayor of what amounts to a town the size of a commune, and her yet-to-be completed governor-ship in which she hasn't even tackled a budget yet.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN WITH THE RIGHT TEAM OF THESE TWO GREAT MEN!

Obama/Biden and other Democrats will get us all out from this kind of politics and give our country back to the people not some fringe aspect.

Unless you are from another planet or had your head in the sand you know what any fringe aspect of any country can do.

Voting for Obama/Biden And other Democrats will insure we will get our country back.

Go get 'em, Joe! This election is all about the issues. And I'm thankful the Democrats are trying to focus on that while the Republicans try to misdirect and obfuscate.

YES – the elections SHOULD be about the issues however, if you had the nerve and honesty to actually tell the truth, you would admit that the DEMOCRATS Convention was ALL about promising us the moon at the expense of someone else. WHO is going to pay for all of it??? Senator Biden has had 36 years for bad experience...Obama actually worked 143 days in the Senate and you CAN check his voting record. IF the media really wanted the AMERICAN people to make intelligent decisions about this election, they would stop allowing television cameras in the debates and at the Conventions...people would actually have to listen and HEAR what the politicians are saying without being swayed by looks, distracted by the non stop crawls and the opinions of the 'talking heads'. IN READING THESE POSTS – this is one negative, hate filled, immature (name calling) group of people who have very little facts to back up the spewing, but you are really good at repeating things so often that you really believe them to be true.

If the Republicans can try to slam Michelle Obama, Palin's husband is fair game.

What happens when he has to answer the phone at 3 am without a teleprompter?

Who are the guys in the backroom who have created this marvel? This is too slick, like a Hollywood Boy Band creation trying to lip sync their way to Platinum record with slick advertising.....No one comes out of nowhere and takes out the Clintons without some very powerful backing......open your eyes America.....start asking questions...

Leslie, maybe you should go back to where ever you just came from. you don't like it, LEAVE.

AMERICANS SURELY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT " REAL EXPERIENCE " OBAMA HAS.. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW THAT WE HAVE NOT HEARD SINCE OBAMA STARTED HIS CAMPAIGN..
ONLY JOE BIDEN HAS NOW TOLD US ABOUT THIS OBAMA EXPERIENCE. WHY DID BIDEN KEEP THIS ASTOUNDING NEWS
ALL BY HIMSELF UNTIL NOW?

"Obama has 8 years state legislature experience and 4 years senate experience. He also has clear judgement and organization skills because he helped American works unlike Palin or McCai."
These are lifted words which i a gree with just toephasize that Community work is experience down to earth with day to day folks and problems. What better experience couldone ask for

6) Her husband has an arrest record for drinking and driving, but I guess that is something that is so common in the Bush family, and with republicans in general, that they probably didn't think that was important when selecting her.

Isn't that like the pot calling the kettle black. Ever hear of Teddy Kennedy?!? Or is he off limits now because of the health problems?

I can't wait to hear Biden put his foot in his mouth, whch he ALWAYS does. Maybe he'll call Palin "doll" or refer to her as a "broad". Either way, your blowhard doofus will commit political suicide with or without a "hot mike" gaffe!!

Obama Zombies,

Polls mean nothing – America will not buy the hype in November.

People are just waiting for the chance to cast that vote. The arrogance of the media and Obama is going to bite them.

Or as Obama's "spiritual mentor" once stated "The chickens are coming home to roost" on Obama's head.....

Vote McCain or join the insane....

~First of all, the knowledge of Democrats is showcased in this array of comments left by them. Why don't you learn to spell and speak correctly before you make negative and/or positive comments about either of the candidates or parties? Parties are what is tearing this nation apart. We're all in the same boat here: scraping the bottom of the barrel for gas money, breathing in smog, and worrying about our childrens' future in such an uncertain time. But when you think about it, Obama WOULDN"T even put his hand pver his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance AND he took the American flag off of his plane. Aside from the accusations and policies, these actions alone should determine the vote.

He dosnt have anything. He has been in the senante for 3 years and spent 18 months running for the pres. Give me a break Obama is going down, he just wants to raise taxes and spend it on nothing that will help me. He just wants to give it to lazy liberals who dont want to work and want the government to take care of them....GET A JOB!!!!!!

This is why I am a Democrat. We don't use the fear card to gain votes. We are focused on the issues! The Republikkkan party cannot run on issues!

Tony,

You talk nonsense because you are brainwashed.

Remember, when Palin husband had DUI – OBAMA was doing drugs and he admitted to it.

We know what City Councilmembers do, we know what Mayors do, we know what Governors do but what does "Community Organizers" do?

Oh – may be they organize with people like William Ayers – self admitted "American Terrorist...

The Republicans have more positive things to say about Palin than they do about McCain.

Why haven't the Republicans elevated this woman's name and accomplishments before now if she is so extraordinary?

Is there a woman alive who can't see that this woman is being used?

we know! that's why we excited!!! go obama! thanx,joe!

McCain got it wrong with the invasion of Iraq and has failed again in his selection of his VP. Nobody should make this Sarah Palin an issue of gender. It's all about John McCain's judgement when it comes to making important decisions. See, he will be nominating supreme judges if he becomes president; is this the kind of judgement he will make?

The father and mother Palin should be there supporting their daughters at this critical time. They've got to have a lot of guts to be a center of attraction at this moment in time. We all have some conservative values such abstinence so shouldn’t Mr & Mrs Palin be supporting their other active daughters before there get in harms way instead of going John McCain’s way. Please let’s be careful of the message we send out to teenagers out there – they should not get to the point where they have to make a decision of ‘keeping the baby’. Did somebody say Mr & Mrs Palin are encouraging the 17-year old daughter to get married because she mistakenly becomes pregnant; was this planned?

Being a governor doesn't guarantee that you have the right experience and judgement for the next level. Look at George Bush. He was the governor of texas and look at the state of our economy and our reputation around the world.

Hey Biden.....................what's that brown stuff on your nose?

“Not about issues?” really !!!

You sure know how to turn on a dime, Biden. It's on record you said No!!!!! Obama didn't have the experiece....you stood by your word.
Just shows what a little fame will do.

Up Hillary....she earned it , you didn't.

Oh for crying out loud! McCain ditched the experience argument when he picked Palin because he knew the experience argument was a loser.

NO CANDIDIATE HAS THE ADVANCE EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE OR SHE HASN"T YET BEEN PRESIDENT: the biggest, most difficult and most unique job on the planet.

We voters must look to the candidates' judgement, temperment, knowledge, and stands on the issues we are most concerned with to make our decision.

All this arguing about who's got what kind of experience for a job none of the candidates have yet had is completely circular and innane.

it's not only about experience, it's about judgment. mccain and palin lack the judgment needed to be successful

How foolish can Democrats be? Joe Biden says Barack Obama has real experience "he could have written his ticket to anywhere." Is that experience? As a matter of fact, Obama did write his ticket, from less than two years as a Senator to attempting to be leader of the free world. The jury is out, but I'm afraid that the idiots outnumber the common-sense Americans and the idiots will put no-experience Obama in, and then complain that the Republicans were behind it. (Shades of their votes on the Iraq War)

Obama makes history: the first non-dirty, uncorrupt, not sleazy and thuggish politician to come out of the Chicago/Illinois political machine!

if i as Biden i would pay close attention to the by-play between Obama and his wife. that full mouth kiss last week was not just a courtesy kiss. that definitely was not a hug hug, kiss kiss type of thing. watch your back Joe

Does anybody else find the McCain camp makes them feel more and more uneasy each day? I used to really admire the man, but his selection of a running mate who he didn't even know was the exact opposite of "Country First". It was reckless and unpatriotic. My anger has nothing to do with Palin. We don't have a clue about her, and neither does John McCain. At least pick someone you can vouch for.

All evidence to the contrary, eh, Joe?

Joe, you need to debate her. Please let that happen and soon!!!!!!!!
DEBATE BETWEEN BIDEN AND PALIN. That would be worth putting our for popcorn and a bag of M&M's. Make that a large popcorn and large bag of M&M's. A real treat.

Why is CNN Closing all the blogs so early: I dont get it; however, its not the news media or the Democratic party that is making an issue out of Mrs. Palin's personal life, it is the REPUBLICAN Party themselves, because if they can turn the attention off of what they have done to this country and divert peoples minds to things that dont matter like Mrs. Palin's daughter which is no ones business then they can walk right back down Pennsylvania, and America if you fall for this, shame on you! If this was Obama's child, and if he had 1/2 the background that the current president has, he wouldnt even be considered for the whitehouse. When it comes to experience, if we look at her being Governor than she has more experience then Everybody; however in Barack's position; when it comes to experience, He didnt jsut walk into Harvard and he didnt walk out! Read Clarence Thomas book! African americans have to be twice as good! If Oboma had Bush's grades, would he be considered? Nope! what about McCain's grades, what if he divorced and married his lover within weeks or months, would he be considered? We know the answer to that,a dn also know this: Barack Obama, because he is Black, and because he does need to be twice as good, he is just the person we need to lead America out of the Moral Mess the Republicans has gotten us into! What if Barack belonged to a party that wanted to succeed from the Union; do we remember the 60's and Nixon's hit list, and how people were ruined if the thought of them being a communist came to light? Remember how they tried to tie MLK to the Communist party... Republican's please quit moving the starting line

Some FACTS about Ms. Palin:

1) Her husband was an active member of the Alaskan Independence Party, not once, but twice and she supported him both times. They want Alaska to secede from the U.S. and be it's own entity. I guess Sara thinks that if she succeeds she will, of course, run it.

2) Palin voted for the "Bridge to Nowhere", Sen. Ted Stevens' pork barrel project, before she voted against it. Stevens says he is totally innocent, however the FBI ahs taped recordings of Stevens on the phone with contractors and Steves has hired lawyers to try to keep the tapes from being admissible at trial. Sound innocent to you?

3) She is vehemently against sex education in the shools and says ABSTINENCE ONLY education. Perhaps she should have made that clearer to her daughter.

4) She voted for Pat Buchannan in 2000 and shares MANY of his views.

5) She met with, and hired lobbyists to try and secure $27 million dollars in pork barrel spending for her tiny town of only (50 employees), something McCain has proclaimed from day one he is against, but she was defeated.

6) Her husband has an arrest record for drinking and driving, but I guess that is something that is so common in the Bush family, and with republicans in general, that they probably didn't think that was important when selecting her.

7) She says God wanted the war in Iraq and that the U.S. should stay there.

8. She is currently under investigation to see if she abused the power of her office by having a State Commissioner fired for not firing her brother-in-law who was having marital problems with her sister.

9) McCain lied when he said that she had been vetted months ago. Fact is she was not vetted until the day before the announcement.

10) McCain lied when he said that he knew about her daughter's pregnancy a few months ago. Fact is, he just found out this past Saturday.

11) Her daughter's boyfriend said on his MySpace blog just yesterday, before it was removed, that he did NOT want children now, and I am just a redneck…I will kick butt.. What else is there to do in Alaska other than play hockey, fish and hunt, party, drink, do drugs and have lots of sex.

GOOD OLD REPUBLICAN FAMILY VALUES!

Obama and Biden are lawyers, neither of them have had honest work in their lifetimes. Biden – a man who can speak for hours and never say a thing. Obama – see the Saddleback interview.

To leslie, MA

I know how you feel, but we democrats are on it.

Who is Sarah Palin, you ask?

Ms. Palin is an insipid moosehunter who has a special needs child and a 17 year old pregnant daughter who will soon participate in a shotgun wedding to her 18 year old boyfriend. Ms. Palin and her husband need to be at home taking care of their family crisis instead of carrying water for mccain.

Ms. Palin is up to her eyeballs in an abuse of power scandal. She was interviewed once by mcsenile before he decided that she was somehow qualified to run this country in case of his demise.

But he has never hunted a moose or killed a bear ! Now that is REAL experience to be a VP in this country. The entire world is laughing when watching the GOP convention.

Oh the LIES that are being generated by the far left.

Since Gov. Palin has drawn soooooo much fire from you democrats, it appears to the rest of us that she must have you worried!!!

After all she DOES have more executive experience than Obama.

The fun thing is to see all of the sexist comments coming from you liberals that go completely against what you stay you stand for.

Fantastic.

Biden has been on the wrong side of so many strategic decisions durning his career it make your head spin.
Obama's experience? He's been running for Prez for all most two years, has been in the senate for 3.5. How much time has he actually spent working as a servant of the people? He obviously put his ambitions first.
Political expediency; afraid to answer questions, take a stand; what other tough issues are above his pay grade?
Issues matter and Biden is trying to spin and muddy McCain's focus. McCain's character and personal dedication to country is above reproach.
We have now handed over 11 of 18 provinces to the Iraqi's. We are decisively winning. This is no time for socialistic experiments.

Obama the stable judgment to lead.

mccain

Thank you Tony.....it's refreshing to see someone take the time to get the facts straight....I hope everyone reads it.....Kudos!!

Biden spent 36 years in Washington and he has good experience

Biden said “ Obama is not ready lead the country”

I believe on his word so my vote for Mc Cain

Hillary 2012
Mc Cain/Palin2008

No, Joe, he doesn't. The Obama cult has caused this former Democrat to leave the party for good. How many of us can you afford to lose???

With a smile like Biden's got–he makes a bad day look gorgeous!!
Way to go Obama and Joe

GA-I, Reality check darling, LOTTO players would give a nuts n' bolts definition of rich that is actually around McCain's $5 million bucks. ONE $$$million dollars used to seem like a fortune way back when I first started buying my weekly LOTTO ticket. Today, I only buy one $3 LOTTO PLUS ticket for chance at minimum 3-5 million dollar pot. I have splurged when we travel out-of-state,usually during hurricane evacs on the out-of-your mind Oprah,Hollywood,HipHop,Clinton/Pelosi/Obama booktour level of RICH RICH RICH with a POWERBALL ticket!

Do you think Biden is a new FLIP FLOPER or he does not remember what he had said about Obama.

Not too long ago he said tha Obama is not ready to lead, and now he is saying that Obama has real experience.

Another BIG FLIP FLOPER on got on board.

John, MA

Oh, Okay Joe Biden. You are nothing but a man cheerleader. We know Barak has zero experience. What is a 'Community Organizer' again? What do 'Present' votes stand for? What did Barak do for William Ayers again? What was Barak's choice of drug when he experimented?

Some of you are really filled with hate.

Carol September 3rd, 2008 2:53 pm ET

WTH THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE HE HAS and BEING THE FATHER OF 2 GIRLS, CAN HE HANDLE THE PRESSURE OF THE OFFICE ADEQUETLY? AFTER ALL BEING A FATHER IS A REAL RESPONSIBLE JOB. STASTIC SHOW A LOT OF MEN OF HIS NATIONALITY DON'T TAKE THIS JOB VERY RESPONSIBLY! HOW CAN WE BE SURE THAT IF HE CAN'T DO THE FATHER JOB THAT HE WILL DO THE "PRESIDENT " JOB VERY GOOD? HUH HUH HUH ! GET THE MESSAGE?

McCAIN/ PALIN '08
___________________
His nationality?????????? You mean American? and yes, we get the message. The republicans have nothing to say on the issues. They are once again trying to make a big election abouts" small" things.

NOT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And YES, I am screaming!

I look at what Obama has done and look at what McCain has done.

I look at what Biden has done and look at what Palin has done.

I look at how they each show their character and views.

One side comes up extremely low on morals, substance, and solutions.

I cannot believe that the Conservatives have lost their way so far off the track.

Biden is a better Conservative than either of them and so is Obama.

Who sidetracked the GOP?

Thank God we have Joe for a voice of reason in this nightmare we all keep hoping to awake from.

Biden rocks! By the way to the person who said he /she can't think of anything that Biden has done...how about taking some ownership of the democratic process and researching it? It's so easy to find – online – voting records of our public officials!
And about teh present votes...you need to familiarize yourself more with the procedure and what it means before making claims. It's easy to take clips of what the Republicans – or media – have said about his voting record and make it fit into your view of things. A present vote – according to both Republicans and Democrats – is somewhat of a strategic yes vote.
The hypocriscy will play itself out more in the coming weeks when Biden and Palin (if she is still on the ticket) have to face one another in head to head debates. I hope that Biden treats her as he would any other male in that situation. He is an honest and sometimes abrasive person. However, I'm guessing that for fear of a backlash among women voters, he won't be as hard on her as he should. We women can't have it both ways! If she can't hold her own, it's just more proff that she was the wrong pick!

Wow Joe, You are brilliant. Nice car reference, but again, what about Obama's experience. If you could just finish the statement and give some examples. What is a community organiser? Is that what AL Sharpton does? What did he do in the Senate. Has he gone to any meetings for the Committee he sits on. Can you explain all the present votes in the state legislature? Can you provide anything other than a book and a few speeches? How did he do at Columbia? Had to be something good to get him into Harvard right? Did he write anything worthwhile at Harvard that we could read.... Simple questions. Just answer them...

Barack Obama has served in public office for 12 YEARS.
Barack Obama will thoughtfully select the best and the brightest to advise his administration.
Barack Obama is talking about ways to fix our economy for the future of all Americans.

BTW- Sharon is a troll. Hi Sharon, go away. You have not been missed.

And watch Camp McCain turn around and accuse Obama of "playing the sexist" card sometime next week.

FACT: The majority of elected U.S. Presidents have been former governors. Here is one reason: they are accustomed to making executive decisions on a daily basis and they are held accountable. Senators, on the other hand, only deliberate on issues that they want to take a position on...BIG DIFFERENCE, folks. Whether you like it or not, that makes Sarah more qualified to be POTUS than the header person on the Dem ticket....sorry!!! All Obama has done is talk, write and vote "present" on the majority of issues before the State Legislature and spent most of his time as a US Senator running for president, and you fools bought it. (P.S. I voted for Obama in the Calif. primary, but that was before information about him came to light and I wised up.)

I love Joe Biden, he might not have been the best VP pick, but I love the man. People ignore Obama actually has some decent experience, and he got where he was by himself, McCain had to have his father in law make his career for him. And Palin is the joke of the century, Repugs claiming she has more experience than Obama is just a joke. Don't vote for 4 more years of the same crap we have endured for 8.

Vote Obama/Biden 08. It's time for change.

TONY,
) Her husband has an arrest record for drinking and driving, but I guess that is something that is so common in the Bush family, and with republicans in general, that they probably didn't think that was important when selecting her.

You are pathetic cuz its not like Hussein hasnt admitted to doing Coke, smoking weed, and drinking. And I dont think that someones DUI in college disqualifies their spouse to be VP. Obama hung out with terrorists for petes sake.

I wonder how many bills did Gov. Palin push through the Alaskan legislature before she came into the national spotlight.

yeah alright, i don't think so, he still for me unexperiencie i hope he lost this election. i will not vote for him and my family either." JUST WORDS"" is the only thing he has experience bla bla bla bla no specifics.

Hey Maynard Hopkins – WI

Sounds like you know Obama personally. What dinner twice a week at his home? I love how we think we know someone when we dont know them at all. It is called: Indirect Experience – "Knowing only what you are told"

...and she is currently holding a more responsible position that Obama.

Obama has the experience to choose an experience VP,Palin are you kidding me I am not a stupid woman the mayor, population 7ooo are you
for real give me a break OBAMA/Biden always

voter:

I'm sorry. I must be mistaken, does the Community Organizer have that specific experience you mention? Really? Show me. Specifics – if you can.

No Surrender

I can't even bring myself to watch the RNC. Suddenly having a son in the military is "the most important foreign policy experience there is". And "balancing a family budget" is good economic experience. Maybe we should just draw names out of a hat at the supermarket to see who gets to be VP. I realize that the Republicans are just trying to make the best of a bad situation (since McCain alone picked Palin), but the level of bull**** is too much. This just shows McCain's judgement – not very good.

all sara palin needs to do is take a two week vacation i mean fact finding mission in Europe, and she will be just as qualified as obama on the matters of foriegn relations. Isnt being a gov. of a state closer to being POTUS then a state senator or a us senator, executively speaking of cource?
Why does Obama say Mcamnesty isnt qualified to be potus because of his "lack of judgement" on Iraq, and then pick a VP who is just one heartbeat away from being POTUS who voted FOR the Iraq war?
I know this wont get posted but maybe if the obama police arent around then it will, and an enlightened liberal might could answer my probably racist questions.

I'm sorry, I'm not the biggest fan of two party politics, but these guys are looking better and better everyday. Keep up the good work guys!

Speaking of that tutition money... Obama himself never had to lift a finger to pay through his privileged schooling. It was his maternal grandparents who pampered him through it all.

CM – "He's been a senator for longer than your girl has been in politics."

CM, you are mistaken. Palin began her political career in 1992. Obama started in 1997. So she started at a younger age and has been in politics longer.

Gotta love the democrats. They scream that the Republican VP does not have experience , but quickly get defensive when someone points out that their Presidental candidates entire resume is 3 years in the senate and work as a "community organizer". By the way , anyone really know what a community organizer does?

True experience, what a concept! The fact that Obama himself argued that he has more experience than the number two on the Republican ticket, because he has been running a political campaign for most of his time in the US Senate is mind boggling. First of all, he is essentially admitting that nothing he did in the short stint of time where he actually showed up to work was worth mentioning. Secondly he is taking credit for what his campaign staff is doing and his speech writers are writing. His own inexperience provides him about as much of a punch in that interpretation of his qualifications to be the next president as would have been responding to Palin's nomination with an eloquent "your mom" on national television. Are people seriously taking that statement or any future qualification of his expertise to heart? Why is the main stream media not jumping all over the fact that he could not come up with a better example of his executive ability than running for president? Open your eyes!

Carol, I am of OBAMAs nationality and I take your comments as RACIST. I serve (active duty) this country with pride and I have three kids that I take care of so, my question to you is "WHAT THE HELL do you know about my nationality?"

Oh yeah, Barack certainly has "real" experience – he is a Yale graduate who is the son of another Yale graduate. Oh yeah, your average common man.

Meanwhile, Gov. Palin is undergoing family issues that can arise in any typical family and she's the evil one. Please.

If this were an issues-based election, I'd vote for Obama, but it's not. It's clearly about personality, so based on that – I'm voting McCain/Palin. I may agree with them about 50% of the time, but at least they're not full of themselves.

Please do not let the Democrats attack Palin because that is sexist and mean and she might cry.
And do not try to imagine Palin facing Putin, you will shudder at the thought.

Since when in history have we compared the Expierence of a President (Osama) to that of a VP (Palin) You libs are really trying to justify his experience.

SHE IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT YOUR UNQUALIFIED OSAMA IS AND HE HAS NO EXPIERENCE COMPARED TO MCCAIN

Why is the republican party trying to compare Obama with Palin the experience McCain has 90% voted with Bush that the worst experience you can have.....Not one time last nite at the Republican convention they talk about the economy. Palin does not have foreign policy experience...

Obama/Biden 08

>Kinda scary that Ann Davidson doesn’t even know how to pronounce the VP candidate's name!

Teddy introduced nobama as oshama bin obama, er, obama bin oo,

Do you really want to go down the path of who remembers who's name?????? LOL!

you libbies crack me up.

McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad that I wont be voting for the Anti-Christ come November ~ for those of you who do, good luck in the next life

McCain/Palin 08

Yeah Joe okay now that your the VP pick Obama has experience all of a sudden what a joke the Dems. are. Hillary was their best choice and the people once again blew by voting for weak instead of strength.

Liberals are getting nervous........

Do you realize that Senator Obama is currently the only African American serving in the the US Senate. There has been only 4 other African Americans to serve in this post.

The Republicans are trying to twist everything. I was sick just watching the convention yesterday – a bunch of lies, Bush talking nonsense....I hope that those Hillary supporters who have promised to vote for McCain think about this more carefully. Palin cannot possibly claim she is ready to lead this nation – plus she is as conservative as they get. McCain screwed up by choosing someone like Palin for his VP. It only shows that he is appealing to the super conservative base, he gave in to their demands........ it makes me wonder what else he will do under pressure from the super conservative republicans. I do not like Obama, but given the choices, I hope Obama and Biden win in November. A McCain/Palin administration would be a disaster!

This election is all about the ISSUES..

Economy
War
Inflation
Devalued US Dollar
All this effects me, my family, and my counrty.

I am not voting for parties.. I am looking at the meat of the matter, not the sizzle.
I dont care if someone can field strip a moose, what ever that means. Or is a POW, My dad was a POW, and that doesnt mean he could run our Company.

I am glad someone knows the truth, and can keep on topic.

Does the slogan "Country First" mean- Racism, Bible, Guns and hypocrisy. Cling to your guns and religion when you believe the BS from your own party.Sub-educated inbred Racist morons. Lets all hear Lee Greenwood sing "Proud to be an American".

Go get 'em Joe!!! I sat here at my desk in Bonita Springs listening to Joe Biden this morning. The others in my office were grinning at me the whole time. I kept yelling "Get 'em Joe!"

As stated by RyanD. earlier ... "Not about issues my butt."

Obama-Biden '08

I see the libs are hard at work today on the blogs.......I would get back to work if I were you the free liberal hand outs have not started coming yet.

MOD-hope this pov doesn't go directly to "awaiting moderation" limbo.Obama's abbrev state legislative job performance was unremarkable- I'm here, the NOriskNObama present voting record,then all 3 US senate years spent running for POTUS joins with Biden the ultimate DC Beltway insider doesn't compare to Palin's local and state govt get your hands in it and put your,heart,soul and back into it AK administrative WORK. Palin has a 25,000+ state employee roster,AK's BILLION+ dollar budget,is the CinC of the AK NatlGuard,the Palins can shoot,hunt,fish and cook their dinner,they LIVE the struggle of WE THE PEOPLE how to pay the bills and balance work with family life. I trust President McCain's ability to run the country as he trains,mentors and developes VP Palin . As a matter of fact PALIN is more prepared for the Whitehouse today than Obama or Biden! Come 2012 Palin will be our 1st Woman POTUS.

The title of this article says that Biden believes Obama has "real experience" yet fails to list a single experience. Here is Obama's experience:

1996 – Obama challenged through the courts to disqualify not only the incumbent but three other challengers to cede the 13th district seat of the Illinois state senate. Alice Palmer, the incumbent had originally anointed Obama to her seat before unsuccessfully running for US Congress. She tried to retain her 13th district seat, but Obama filed court procedures nullifying her attempt to retain her seat. Alice Palmer supported Hillary Clinton in the 2008 campaign.

2000 – Prior to completing his first term as state senator, Obama campaigned for US Congress. He lost by greater than 50%.

2002 – Just two years later Obama decided to run for the 2004 US Senate. Just prior to the election, fueled by Obama supporters, allegations of moral mis-conduct were made against his Republican candidate. The candidate withdrew, allowing Obama to run uncontested.

2004 – Before even serving 1 day as a US Senator, Obama delivered the 2004 keynote address at the Democratic National Convention.

2005 – Obama began his US Senate by immediately campaigning for the Democratic party. Obama criss-crossed the US taking advantage of his exposure from the 2004 DNC, and stumping for Democratic candidates.

2007 – Obama officially enters the Presidential campaign, continuing more of the same campaigning.

Obama does not have as much experience as Palin. That is very plain to see. What has Obama done that has been of any importance? Will someone please tell me.

I was for Hillary because she put rings around Obama, but the dem. party saw to it that a women would never be on the ticket. Did not even consider her for VP and she obvioulsy has experience and should have been the one the ticket.

Now that McCain has a women as VP the dems. are trying to discredit her. I think Palin is going to give everyone a run for their money. She is qualified to be VP and as far as being President, well, McCain is the one with the experience needed for that position. If something happened to McCain could she lead, of course she could. Obama came on the scene as virtually a nobody with no experience, so where do you dems. get off saying Palin could not lead.

You just still do not want a "woman" on a ticket, any ticket. Well, you just might have to get used to the idea "you good ole boys"!!!

YEAH I AM GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT JOE HAS TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA AND EXPERIENCE.

DID EVERYONE FORGET THE FAMOUS COMMERCIAL THE GOP SENT OUT ON WHAT BIDEN SAID ABOUT OBAMA.

AT LEAST MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE ON THE SAME PAGE – OBAMA'S RUNNING MATE THINKS DOESNT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE.

HA HA HA – ANYTHING BIDEN SAYS ABOUT THIS WILL BE A LAUGHING MATTER!

I've watched the speeches from both conventions and it is obvious that the Democrats are pushing fear onto the American public. They hope to convince people how bad the economy is/will be and hope that the people just ignore the facts.

If our economy was so bad then I'd expect the cable and dish service companies to be loosing money and people getting laid off- since the Democrats believe people are having such a hard time paying their mortgage. Surely people who are complaining that times are so tough and they can't afford food, gas, house payment would drop the non-essentials in their life the same way all the other generations prior to ours have. Or maybe they just feel cable TV is a "right" just like they think health insurance (paid by someone else) is.

With Palin, what disturbed me was that she is only a governor and she has already exercised firing people for not listening to you. She's so very female.

I hate WORKING for female bosses. They're evil, more evil than MEN.

Sen. McCain wants to run on the personalities of the pres. canidates and their vp picks. I have watchrd very closely to all the public videos
of both and their running mates. The one thing that has stood out is that McCain only smile and looks in the eye of people in his circle of friends. Whenever he is shown with everyday people of middle to poor
he is always looking around not smiling and like he would rather be somewhere else. On the other hand Obama has always had a smile on his face for people from all walks of life everywhere he goes, looks them in the eyes and listens intently on what thy are saying. If McCain want to run on personality, He Is Losing.

Her executive experience as council member and mayor were part time jobs. I doubt if she expended more than 12 hours during a normal week.

I have a question about republicans. so many people say the repbulicans are pro-life. Well, if repbulicans are pro-life then why are they pro-war and pro-death penalty. There appears to be a disconnect.

CAROL...YOU ARE STUPID AND DISHONEST. BLACK MEN ARE DOING A FINE JOB WITH THERE CHILDREN. DID YOU TEACH YOUR KIDS TO LIE LIKE YOU.

OBAMA.08

I guess Biden is lying when he says that obama has experience. And Obama lies through his teeth when he says that McCain doesn't get it.

I am shocked that both Democrats are lying. Biden said that Obama was not ready to lead and I have to agree with him. Joe you can't have it both ways. Hillary said that Obama gave a speech once, but that is not the experience we need for a commander in chief.

Palin is older than Teddy Roosevelt when he became President. And she is a sitting Governor with a budget of billions of dollars. Obama gave a speech once and no budget experience. Palin is a Commander in Chief, but Obama has never even been in the military. He has no experience.

Obama gave a speech once and Biden said Obama was not ready to lead. That is the truth.

Mr. Obama, Let me tell you, "eloquence is no substitute for your poor record." By the way, why don't you help out your Bro who is living in a hovel in Kenya? You live in a million dollar home and he lives in a shed.

Why not share your wealth with your bro?

According to the Republicans, the village of Wasilla and the state of Alaska equates to the world and all its complex problems. Ergo, Sarah Palin is supremely qualified to lead our nation because Wasilla, Alaska represents our world. It's a small world Republicans live in because they believe its always their way or no way.

Not about issues? Thats what I am getting out of the GOP no issues.

Obama or McCain?

With Bush, we went from dumb to dumber as a nation.

With McCAin and his senior moments, we'll all be lost in translation, not wanting to do anything for our country. We'll all be un-inspired.

With Obama, he's not the best, but at least, he'll draw talents in America to help build America.

With Hillary, she'll take us to the moon, but the DEMO were too stupid to pick her as Prez.

Good luck America! We're going to need a lot of it.

What are BHO's issues.. I would like to hear him talk about them... I hope those arent above his pay grade

YOU CAN JUST SEE THE DESPERATE TACTICS OF THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN ON THIS BOARD...THAT'S RIGHT BARRY...WATCH YOUR SHIP SINK.

BY THE WAY....WHY IS THE MEDIA SO CONCERNED ABOUT PALIN'S HUSBANDS DRUNK DRIVING ARREST WHEN HE WAS 22....YET GOOD OL' BARRY WAS IN A BACK ALLEY IN CHICAGO SCORING THE BEST ROCK HE COULD AT THE TIME????

HMMMM...BIASED MEDIA?

My step father has been and is a Mayor in a small town in Kansas. It's not hard to get to be one in small towns. You basically have to show up and say you want to do it. Not much qualification for VP or President in that.

As for governor, I believe they have more executive experience than senators, generally. But, they also generally lack any national or international experience applicable to the Presidency of the USA. They are totally parochial in their thinking and wear blinders to a fault. The Senator has the advantage here.

So, it comes down to ability, judgment, values, and policy.

Palin is a zero when compared to Obama or, more to the point, Biden. She makes Obama appear to be John Addams in comparison and cannot hold a candle to Biden.

McCain's judgment is now completely suspect and needs to be questioned at every turn. His actions are speaking louder than his words or his record.

I believe America is being gamed by the Republicans. They are testing us to see just how much BS we will put off with and still vote them in office.

What a cruel and extremely dangerous joke they have become. Laughingstock to the world is their legacy for us.

"This election is not about issues," Davis said to The Post. "This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates."

This statement by the McCain camp is EXACTLY why we can't take 4 more years of the same crap. What idiot says that- and worse yet- believes it.

IT IS ABOUT ISSUES JOHN MCCAIN- IT IS JUST THAT YOU ARE NOT DEALING WITH THE ISSUES AND OBAMA IS!!!!

Idiots. Plain and SImple.

– Presidental Experience –
How does one go about get it? Perhaps a former Prez could enlighten us, or what about "PREZ University", you know the one in DC that everyone is talking about.

Please someone and anyone, help me out here....

I think we need to move away from that "Obama has no Experience issue". It has ran it's course.

Bottom line is: CHANGE IS NATURAL, so let's step aside and let it happen.

Obama-Biden '08 – ' 12
Thanks for your time.....

Do you people forgot that Obama is a Constitutional Lawyer. Don't you want a President that has clear understanding of the Constitution unlike George Bush and Dick Cheney. People just don't vote for Obama because he is a good speaker. But it would be nice to have four years of a President that can articulate clearly to the American people instead of John McCain & George Bush senile mutterings.

Biden must think this is Last Comic Standing. What a riot!! What an absolute moron!!

Obama has experience, alright...he's had experience living with POOR JUDGMENT his whole life!! Ayers, Wright, Phleger, Rezco...who needs enemies when you have friends like these. Why, oh why does the media not care enough to help vet the Democrat candidate?

Thankfully O'Reilly is interviewing Obama on Thursday. That should be a real riot. Then again, I can only imagine how many "ummms" and "ahhhhs" will plague the transcript.

Why did Obama begin his Political Career at the house of Terrorist Bill Ayers?

Why did Obama funnel millions of dollars to convicted felon Tony Rezko?

Why did Obama listen to hate speech for twenty years in the Church of Rev Wright?

Why would anyone think this guy should be president?

Yea for Joe Biden we are behind you all athe way ! take a look around people we need someone like Barack Obama and Joe Biden when you have just came through 8 years of hell !!!!!!!!!
McCain does not have the experience or niether does the one he chose as a running mate where do you get experience in a small town of 9000, that is not what we need, that would be worse than what we just came through and my family can not take that and we won't

I believe Palin was brought in (with her family) to be a distraction from US Citizen's issues.

Notice the real issues have fallen by the wayside? We're being played by the Rovian/Limbaugh play-book.

No more wars.

Censoring an AMERICAN again rebecca? You do it every time.

McCain was a poor student in military college and in flight school. He lost 3 planes. He didn't do his homework 40 years ago and he still doesn't do his homework. McCain didn't do his homework when he authorized the war in Iraq against non-existent WMDs and wants to remain there for 100 years, while threats grow and problems fester in Afghanistan, Iran and now Russia occupying parts of Georgia ... and McCain says "We are all Georgians." He didn't do his homework when he selected Palin to stand infor him as VP.

McCain may be a good soldier (even though he lost 3 planes and his freedom) but he is no leader! Like nero fiddling while Rome burns, McCAIN FIDDLES AWAY 4,080 AMERICAN LIVES WHILE FIRES BURN IN AFGHANISTAN, IRAN AND GEORGIA. Doesn't the US deserve better than that?

Alaska has a state law, that which prohibits Moose from having sex on public roads.

But for a 17 year old girl to get pregnant seems to be ok. haha

By the way, Obama has more experience than palin and McCain together ever will have.

This election is not about issues. Are you kidding me. If you ever needed any evidence of how out of touch the Republican party is that has got to be it. Looking at the people that were attending the "convention" last night left me nauseated. It looked less like a convention and more like an Aryan Nation meeting.

demorats are history

I wish they would show clips of the officer who came before Biden, that was an amazing talk he gave, you can tell it came from the heart. Then Biden really blew me away with the realness to him. He spoke from the heart as well. I had to go to the bathroom a few time's and had to turn it off because I was at work but I really wish I didn't have to miss it, I wanted to see the whole thing so bad.

WAY TO GO, JOE!

We the people... (you know, the people Bush has forgotten about)... have ALWAYS been focused on the ISSUES of this campaign. It is WAY TOO IMPORTANT not to!

Image seems to be more important to Republicans than really trying to come up with specific SOLUTIONS to cure America's woes.

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

Joe Biden...humble man, takes the train to work for 30 years. Loved his wife, lost her in an accident, and raised some good boys.

Married a good woman who stuck by his side and vice versa. Happily married close to 15-20 years.

Barack Obama, marries his true love. Two beautiful, well mannered daughters. Shows public affection for his wife and truly believes she is his partner and not his play thing. Gave up Money out of college at Harvard to work for less fortunate people. Turned down Major cash.

John McCain. POW...... and uh, well, POW and cheated on his first wife multiple times, left her for a younger, richer woman. Allowed Reagan and Nancy Reagan and Ross Perot to take care of Carol McCain more than he has.

Sarah Palin... mother of 5, Mayor and Gov of one of the least populated states in America. Claim to fame is the PTA and being a reformer who asks for Earmarks by the millions. Daughter pregnant at 17 out of wedlock.

Which party is the party of Morals again?

The election' IS about the issues – at least if you're a person making less than 5 million a year.

Thanks Joe.

Barack Obama Has very little if any experience when it comes to making decissions about how to run a country or even a state .

Here is a person who votes present on the floor but doesn,t vote to approve or disapprove the bills which are being discussed on the floor.

Here is a person who would not hold his hand over his heart while the pledge of allegiance was being said nor did he say the allegiance.

Here is a person who thinks it is wrong to wear a pin of the American Flag on his lapel. Why? because he doesn't think it is proper.

Here is a man who can't comprehend the total spectrun of the picture on what he is doing wrong in this campaign. He claims to have done this and that but when someone checks out his story and I said story
there is nothing to prove or back up what he claims to do.

Here is a man who presents the American people the solution to many problems,, when you look at the solution ITS IS A BANDAID

HERE IS A MAN THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO RUN OR BE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY

Country First – Small town You are right. I am looking forward to watching Gov. Palin tonight. This will be the first time in my 58 years watching a Republican Convention. If someone told me – I would have never believed it.

Country first:

Does Palin have legislative experience? Does she have a policy to end the war in Iraq other than her statement that she does not have time to think about Iraq and the Iraq war is an act of God? She has been a part-time mayor where she was almost recalled for ethic violation. She has been governor for 18 months and already is under investigation for abuse of power. She hired a lobbiest for a town of 5,000 people and the lobbiest has connections with Jack Abramoff. She supported the bridge no where. Is not in charge of the national guard. Don't look at the title, but see what she has done which is nothing. She is unqualified. Just because she is governor for 18 mo. does not equate to knowing what you are doing.

his grammar could use some polish.

Palin, the new Eagleton.

Obama/Biden '08

I must say I really, really enjoy watching the facist liberal movement scramble around when they are faced with honesty, integrity and morality. Character traits that are so foreign to them. But after 36 years in the make believe senate, Biden has long since given up any pretense of ethics. Honest career politiction, ethical lawyer, moral jurist, unicorn, leprecan are all mythical creatures and only exist in fairy tales told to children.

"This election is not about issues..."?????? The Republicans have NO freakin clue...period....If you vote for John McCain and Sara Palin you are a FOOL! pure and simple..this has nothing to do with experience vs non-experience..(the repubs blew that argument when John picked Palin as his #2). This has nothing to do with sexism...(a woman with NO experience and questionable past is bad for the country just as if she were a man). This is about ISSUES and McCain/Palin are on the WRONG SIDE OF THEM!!

What is shocking to me is what is not being said. At the DNC there was an inclusive atmosphere. There were Spanish, African Americans, Oriental Americans etc. Look at EVERY picture from the RNC and all you see is a sea of Mostly RICH "none of my kids are in Iraq so I dont care how long we are there" people. The issues at
hand are

What party or candidate speaks for ALL AMERICANS?
What party or candidate wants to end the war?
What party or candidate thinks the tax cuts for the wealthy ARE WRONG?
What candiate in 8 years has CHANGED on every single point
(Swiftboating, Tax cuts,Afirmitive Action etc)

If HRC supporters feel that Mccain offers the BEST chance on solving the above problems not only are they misinformed but they are STUPID to.

Way to go Biden!!!!! I for one think this election is ALL ABOUT ISSUES!!!! Keep it up!!!!!! The Republicans say its not about issues becasue they cant win on the issues and they know it!!!

We want our country back!!!!

This is so funny, but we will see come Oct. 2nd... Rep. had this all planned and they use comments on these blogs and say that the Obama camp is behind the sexism against Palin. Wow, big round of aplause for McCaine's campaign. Obama has never said anything sexist about this woman, only the media. But now the Rep. are saying, "Hey vote for us, because the media is being sexist!" What a bunch of crap... When the Rep. questioned Obama's experience it was fine, now that Palin's experience is being questioned it's sexist...

This is a real ticket, we voting for not photo oops.

Go get it Obama 2008 real president not coverup or follower

JUST ELECT THE SMARTEST GUY AND BE DONE WITH IT . THE USA HAS A LOW STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. JUST LOOK AT BUSH. MCCAIN IS LIKE THE DUMB GUY YOU KNOW THAT HAS ALL THE ANSWERS. OR ARE YOU AMERICANS SO STUPID. MAYBE....

OBAMA........08

You are all scared. You should be. Typing away furiously with what you think are "clever" little comments. They don't matter. You are just preaching to people that already agree with you. Bite your fingernails boys and girls. This is quickly slipping out of your control. I see your nervousness and bitterness in every word you type. I enjoy reading your attempts to matter.

Can't wait until the Vice Presidential Debate!

Obama/Biden08

"30 years of bad experience ain’t worthwhile experience" PERFECT!

Lets look at the most recent events:
>Timeline for Iraq

>Iraq should be more accountable and take responsibility for their country

>Afghanistan needs more troop

>1 billion dollar to help rebuid Georgia and strategically strengthened America's posiiton in this area

>Dplomatic discussion with Iran

Pretty good for the inexperienjce guy from Illinois....

Obama 2008!!!
McShame just showed how desperate he is. He knows that it was a mistake picking Palin. Republicans are sad!!

Proud woman supporter of Obama!!!

No Way!! No How!! No McLame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can Palin inspire and attract talents of all ages and groups like Obama?

Palin's resume disturbs me. It looks very much like Bush:

1) Washington outsider
2) Governor of a State
3) Interested in digging oil

I cant believe the argument is that she has more experience than Obama. George W Bush had more administrative experience than Obama. In fact, 8 years of it in Texas and he was not effective in managing America.

The solution is that we need someone that is #1 inspiring #2 can draw talents #3 has judgement.

When you're a Washington outsider, i think you have less respect of the Constitution.

wow! Biden really knocked that one out of the park and displayed how narrow-minded and out of touch the McCain campaign is with the average joe. Republicans can't argue on the issues because McCain has no plans to address them!

The American people are so ignorant when they fall for John McCain and his beauty queen VP Palin. Obama and Biden should be up by 40 points in the polls. They are clearly the better choice. The only reason McCain is close to Obama is because of RACE!!!! very simple for you political analyst why the polls are tight.

We have a president now that has had executive experience.He has been a disaster.Let us not let McCain -Palin continue to ruin this country .He is too old and she is far from proven.Mc Cain is pandering to women. Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton.What an insult to Hillary that Palin thinks she can replace her in womens esteem.VOTE FOR OBAMA

Obama has way more Experience than that liar Palin Obama was in the Illionis senate for 8 Years and has been in the U.S Senate for 4 Palin has only been a Governor for 1 Year and she has no nationa Experience. But John Mcbush went on and on about Obama not having any experience and What did John Mcbush do go find a Women with less Experience than Obama to be A heart beat away from the The Nuclear War Head Button. Obama/Biden anyday

So, "this election is not about issues?" This election sure as hell better be about issues! I don't want your average "hokey mom" burning our children's books, denying sex education in our school systems and pouring money into sports arenas!

At least Obama has a VP who can get out on the campaign trail by his own to defend him and talk about policies and issues that Americans care about even though the McAppalin campaign just stated that this campaign is not about "issues", I don't blame them because they have nothing left to talk about
I can't wait to see Sarah Appalin campaigning for McSenile, the media will pay a great attention to this reckless VP's statements

With all this training and coaching that Palin is going through right now, I am not confident that she is ready to lead or is even experienced where it counts.

If she is so experienced and qualified, then WHY isn't she taking any tv interviews? What are folks afraid of?

Also, there is way to much proof that she is NOT a reformer. CNN please start reporting this stuff..

Way to go JOE!!! Tell it like it is! Even with Baracks experience, I would choose him anyday compared to that windbag McSame and Ms. cheerleader!

Here's a man who has learned (yes, I know, the hard way) to think before he speaks. Here's a man who learned to consider before he acts. Here's a real American man who doesn't have to use a woman as a prop, ladies and gentlemen. Paired with Obama, perhaps the most thoughtful politician in decades, you won't see any irresponsible, reckless, off the cuff fiascos like McCain has tried to pawn off on us. Central PA loves Joe Biden. And Obama looks more and more Presidential by the minute!

How's the surge working Obama, Biden? Maybe Biden was to busy introducing his lobbyist son to other politions to really be focused on major issues.

"30 years of BAD experience, aint worthwhile experience..."

-Joe Biden

Quote of the century.

LOL, you guys pride yourselves of calling out Obama's community organizer background. What was your VP pick doing at a similar time of her life? Town councilwoman for less than 7k people?

He's been a senator for longer than your girl has been in politics.

Your experience argument is worthless.

Obama has a gained an incredible amount of executive experience running "Obama, Inc." He is, as he once admitted, more overexposed than Paris Hilton. Your 15 minutes are almost up, Senator.

Don't Abstain Vote McCain '08

Loose cannon and Hayseed vs a couple city slickers. The Unpredictability of McCain is the biggest factor in my mind-the other three can be figured out pretty quickly.

I'll take the safe bet and vote for a couple city slickers.

More important though is that when this election is over, we all better hope that whoever gets into the White House does a good job. That's good for all of us. If it's McCain though, I hope he keeps his American hat on and his Republican hat off. There are some real distinctions between the two.

If you want to know what a McCain presidency would look like. Just take a look at the front row at the RNC. What a bunch of out of touch old fogies. And they want to run this country another 4 years. Give me a break!

Yes we should all just do a talent competition and see which candidate is most :likable" in order to determine who should be our next President.

Obama and "real experience" In the same sentence? BWAAAAAAAAAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

YOOOOOOOO JOE!

WTH THE LITTLE EXPERIENCE HE HAS and BEING THE FATHER OF 2 GIRLS, CAN HE HANDLE THE PRESSURE OF THE OFFICE ADEQUETLY? AFTER ALL BEING A FATHER IS A REAL RESPONSIBLE JOB. STASTIC SHOW A LOT OF MEN OF HIS NATIONALITY DON'T TAKE THIS JOB VERY RESPONSIBLY! HOW CAN WE BE SURE THAT IF HE CAN'T DO THE FATHER JOB THAT HE WILL DO THE "PRESIDENT " JOB VERY GOOD? HUH HUH HUH ! GET THE MESSAGE?

McCAIN/ PALIN '08

Mccain Is Throwing Up A Really Good Smoke Screen! He Doesnt Want To Talk About Issues Because He Is So Wrong On The Most Important Ones! I Still Dont Know Where He Stands On Anything But How We Should Drill For More Oil! That And He Was A POW! I May Not Agree With Obama On All Of The Issues But At Least I Know Where He Stands! Thats Why He Gets My Vote! Its About The Issues!

Hope to hear tonight strong thoughts from Palin about her position in regards to the economy and foreign policy. Time for a pause in the moose hunting season.

obama could have gone anywhere? why didn't he go some where else then since he seems to think america sucks? sure wish he would go be a "citizen of the world" somewhere else in the world. why must he inflict himself on us?

Gee, that's funny not too long ago Biden said he would be happy to run alongside McCain as his VP candidate. Wow, how times have changed. And from what I hear Biden has been in Washington longer than McCain.

I am a proud Democrat that plans to make more donations to Obama and Biden. My big question for all the Republicans is "Will Palin still be on the ticket after she is vetted. "I did not know that" will be the most often used statement by Republicans.

No "real experience" huh? I'll rather have a VP with "no experience" than a President with no experience (i.e. Obama). Based on Obama's definition of experience his Chief of Staff is more qualified than he is! Not even two Obama's and a mad Biden comes close to Palin! McCain for President 2008! Palin for President 2012! What was that sound? Oh, Hillary's fuse just blew!

RNC Co-Chair: We are proud to be nominating 'Sarah Pawlenty'

Kinda scary that Ann Davidson doesn’t even know how to pronounce the VP candidate's name!

“We are holding a convention that will nominate a Republican woman governor, Sarah Pawlenty, as our next Vice-President.”

Yeah, she’s well known in her party. What a joke!

This Election is about The Economy Republicans are going to lose Big if they Don't Even Realize that Man I could run Mcbush's Campaign Blindfolded with No Experiecnce You don't really need that iN the Mcbush campaign any way you Just need to be a woman or a Pawn. Mcbush is Out of Touch I guess a guy with 8 Houses and said that the Economy is stronger than it has ever been and whose Economic Adviser Phil Gramm Said we are Just a Nation of Whiners Because we are Just in a mental Recession. John Mcbush is Out of Touch With Common Americans and that is why he and Palin will Lose

It is very laughable to hear Obama talk about "change." Socialism is NOT change, and Biden is an old, liberal party hack.
The Dems refuse to save Social Security, refuse to even allow a VOTE on more oil drilling.

I think it's funny how the pathetic republicans can question Obama's experience everyday, but when the shoes on the other foot call any question or attack sexist. Obama has fought for the past 18 months and been truly tested with 18 million voters, Palin needs to start acting like a leader and answer questions honorably instead of hiding behind the "Good Ole Boys"

I'd love to know in what context the GOP will spin their spokesman's words. They're making this about everything but issues because they have none.

Ever notice that McCain's ads talk about renewable energy but his plan has no specific mention of those? Seems the renewable energy talk came up when Obama started spelling out his specifics.

McCain, I also seem to remember you asking a staff member last year to 'look up what my stand is on contraception'. I need a president who remembers what they believe in, not whats politically popular. Something McCain tries to blame on Obama but really needs to be a bit more introspective.

So Tucker Eschew worked on Palin's speech for tonight which will talk about how she will clean up Washington. This is the same Tucker Eschew who worked on the Bush campiagn in 2000. So the guys that help elect Bush to two terms are pushing candidates to clean up Bush's mess. WOW!!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard and if the American voters fall fro this then they deserve four more years of the same.

Why is it that Governor Palin is criticized for accepting this nomination with a young special needs child and a pregnant daughter but Senator Biden is praised for returning to the Senate only weeks after his wife and daughter were killed in an accident and his sons were still in the hospital. Does anyone see the hypocrisy of these two positions. I think both of these people decided that they could do good things for the country and they should be commended for it. You might not agree with their positions but open your eyes and realize that hating the other side is not the way to move the country forward. Use your own mind and consider the other side of the argument before you post hatred and vitriol based on what others tell you to think.

More experience as Obama, give me a break. Liars thats what you republicans are.

Running the ship down and expect from all emericans a bonus of more 4 years of the same.

They really think americans are brainless and fall for McCain, Palin and Lieberman.

Is she paving a new road for the republicans? Who of these two are calling the shots in washington if they are elected?

No thanks, a dont believe any of them, it is just to get in power, after that its business as usual.

And that is a fact.

Obama /Biden 08

If Palin (both a mayor and a governor ) is unqualified to be vice president then how is the Community Organizer qualified to be president?

Unfortunately to the liberals of whom largely live in cities with a population of 100,000 or more, this country is a nation of Wasillas, not Chicagos.

I think all of you are about to find out who Palin is!!!

Joe Biden has been in politics for approx. 30 some years, and I can tell you as a democrat I cannot say exactly what he has done???

Goes to show ya!!

I am with Biden and the majority of America, this election is about the issues and the problems every day Americans Face.

If I was the media, I would give the mccain camp exactly what they want. NO COVERAGE! And if they wanted an ad, I would reset their cost to paying double.

Of course he does. The Republicans know it but they have to bash him in order to win.

Did you hear when real man talk, they talk sense

when we think about food a presidential candidate claim the election is a buety contest can you believe how out of touch is this.

PS, I also forgot, 2 years as Governor makes her one of the best Governors in history. Obama can't top that. I can understand why republicans think she is one of the best Governors in history. Look at Reagan and Bush, they left they state broke. Compared to them, anyone would look good.

According to sources close to the McCain campaign about McCain’s VP choice is that Karl Rove wanted Romney, and pushed him. McCain really wanted Lieberman, but was told no by Karl Rove. Palin was the compromise. Yes, the Republicans at work. If McCain was such a Maverick, he would have held to his guns and picked Lieberman. Instead he caved and settled for Palin. McCain is not Maverick, he is a puppet!!!

The Obama supporters continuously state that Hillary and Obama's stand on the issues is the same...so no HRC supporter or Puma should vote for McCain/Palin.

If Obama and Hillary were offering up the same platform, then why didn't the Obama people vote for Hillary? And why did the Obama supporters spout so much hate toward Hillary? Hmm.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Issues is exactly what this campaign is about. The repugs have and will try anything to distract the US people from the issues, because they have failed miserably.

The repugs are corrupt liars who does nothing but try to think up way to make money for themselves. How anyone with a conscious and a brain could vote for the repugs is beyond understanding.

AMEN, BIDEN!

Not about issues my butt.

Nice job your doing Sen. Biden. Keep up the good work – can't wait to see you and Sen. Obama in the White House.
Do the country a favor when you debate Palin though- Please don't use kid gloves. Given McCain's age and physical condition, it they by some miracle get elected Palin has a good change of being POTUS and in all fairness, I want to see if she has the chops for the job like you do...

INDEED , THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT ISSUES . IS IT NOT IMPORTANT
,MOST IMPORTANT THAT THE BEST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE THEN SHOULD BE ELECTED TO THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF OUR COUNTRY? AND WHO CAN LEAD AND BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR ALL THE PRESIDENTS OF OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN AND SHALL ALWAYS BE NATIONAL SECURITY, PROTECTION OF AMERICA , ITS PEOPLE AND ITS FREEDOMS. WE CANNOT HAVE PROSPERITY AND ECONOMIC
STABILITY UNLESS WE HAVE NATIONAL SECURITY.
ONLY SENATOR MCCAIN HAS THE BETTER QUALIFICATIONS TO BE THAT PRESIDENT.

Amen Biden. Obama has more than experience, he has the judgment it takes to be president.

Go Joe!

McSame and his cheerleader will get eaten alive by the facts.

CNN "Palin's maverick trail
When she played basketball in high school, Sarah Palin, the soon-to-be Republican vice presidential nominee, earned the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her fierce competitiveness. In the 21 months she has served as governor of Alaska, no one is suggesting she's lost her fighting edge. full story"

Thats some really BIASED MEDIA REPORTING!

Pathetic! Face it...Sarah Palin is unfit to run period!

The John McCain of 2000 would not be buddies with the John McCain of 2008. I don't know which persona we are talking about?

Look a little closer at Palin's "reform" record people. The thruth is she was one of the worst pork barrel spenders out there and she was for the bridge to nowhere before….then she was against it later. I am okay with spending money on government programs we need – better education, healthcare, etc…. but Palin used way too much government spending for the size of her town honestly.

I just don't think her actions as a mayor and governor match with what her speeches are saying.

Thank God it's Wednesday. I can watch the "Greatest American Dog", "Project Runway", etc. That will give me something to do besides watch a bunch of old geezers try to pretend the last 8 years haven't been a disaster.

Obama/Biden 08

The radical right open mouth and inserts foot! This is not about issues no it is not about issues to the radical right it is only about issues to those of us that care about this country. These radical right wing nuts jobs only care what other are doing in there personal lives they could care less if the country is being sold off to china. They could care less that men and women are dying in a war that never should have been authorized. to them it is more important that men are not allowed to sleep with men, we teach are children that science is evil, and women do not have the brains to make informed confident choices about there own body they need the government to tell them what is best.

Then why he picked you with 36 years of bad experience? Because he knows he is one of the smooth talkers in US history.

Just use their words in an ad. Does Rick Davis think Americans are stupid?

Oh how I miss Tim Russert, Gov. Palin should sit down with Tim Russert for just one hour forget the speeches.

The GOP is looking for a personal vote for John McCain — putting aside policy, and the blotched record of the Bush administration, if McCain is elected America will officially become a “banana republic” to be ruled by a small, self-elected, wealthy and corrupt clique.

i hope that you two win......McCain/Palin scare the bejesus out of me

The republicans should hire the guy that makes fries at the Mcdonalds in Anchorage. He can be secretary of state. The Paper boy in Juneau can be Attorney General.

Didn't McCain say at the outset of the campaign that "This campaign is going to be about the issues"? I think the one thing this election has taught us - Republicans can say anything, no matter how ridiculous or untrue, with a completely straight face.

You go, Joe! NEPA loves its native son. And Obama, who actually thinks before he leaps (unlike some Presidential nominees I know).

Obama/Biden – good judgment, careful consideration, thoughtful policy, REAL American values, excellent leadership.

You go, Joe!

I couldn't agree with you more. Keep them on point. Hold them accountable.

I AM DEMOCRAT AND WE ALL KNOW HE DOES NOT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE BUT HE FOR SURE HAS JUDGMENT AND I APPLAUD THAT HOWEVER.
SARAH APPALIN HAS BACHELOR DEGREE DOE THAT QUALIFY FOR VP WITH ZERO EXPERIENCE

WE JUST NEED HER TO ANSWER QUSTIONS SPECIFICALLY THAT ALL I CANNOT BUY AN ITEM WITHOUT SEEN IT

SHE has foreign relation experience because alaska is next to russia"
She has a pastor who dams Jews and says "god will punish the US of A"
She is under state investigation.
She worked for the criminal Alascan politicians in a 527.
She has ties to the Alaska Independence Party.
This is supposed to be a "faux media scandal"? The pick of this person is the ture scandal

she has foreign relation experience because alaska is next to russia"

Nothing new here..., just blowharded Biden making more two faced doofus comments about experience...

Amen, Sen. Biden. I see who has the good judgment to pick a good VP and it wasn’t the Senator from AZ. Great judgment, real experience. Obama/Biden 08

Some FACTS about Ms. Palin:

1) Her husband was an active member of the Alaskan Independence Party, not once, but twice and she supported him both times. They want Alaska to secede from the U.S. and be it's own entity. I guess Sara thinks that if she succeeds she will, of course, run it.

2) Palin voted for the "Bridge to Nowhere", Sen. Ted Stevens' pork barrel project, before she voted against it. Stevens says he is totally innocent, however the FBI ahs taped recordings of Stevens on the phone with contractors and Steves has hired lawyers to try to keep the tapes from being admissible at trial. Sound innocent to you?

3) She is vehemently against sex education in the shools and says ABSTINENCE ONLY education. Perhaps she should have made that clearer to her daughter.

4) She voted for Pat Buchannan in 2000 and shares MANY of his views.

5) She met with, and hired lobbyists to try and secure $27 million dollars in pork barrel spending for her tiny town of only (50 employees), something McCain has proclaimed from day one he is against, but she was defeated.

6) Her husband has an arrest record for drinking and driving, but I guess that is something that is so common in the Bush family, and with republicans in general, that they probably didn't think that was important when selecting her.

7) She says God wanted the war in Iraq and that the U.S. should stay there.

8. She is currently under investigation to see if she abused the power of her office by having a State Commissioner fired for not firing her brother-in-law who was having marital problems with her sister.

9) McCain lied when he said that she had been vetted months ago. Fact is she was not vetted until the day before the announcement.

10) McCain lied when he said that he knew about her daughter's pregnancy a few months ago. Fact is, he just found out this past Saturday.

11) Her daughter's boyfriend said on his MySpace blog just yesterday, before it was removed, that he did NOT want children now, and I am just a redneck...I will kick butt.. What else is there to do in Alaska other than play hockey, fish and hunt, party, drink, do drugs and have lots of sex.

GOOD OLD REPUBLICAN FAMILY VALUES!

There are too many more things on the list to go on, but the inforamtion is right out there for anyone who cares to educate themselves about how dangerous McCain/Palin would be for this country.

So...
Why hasn't CNN posted the story about Palin's pet earmarks (over a million dollars worth) for Wasilla that were protested by John McCain?

If she claims to be a reformer, then why is there so much evidence our there that proves otherwise?

A false reformer with no experience.

Thank You Biden. We are tired of fear, war, terror and more war. We want to raise our kids and enjoy freedom and a good economy. Tired of republican tactics.

Abby "Let's all question OBama – he seems to be a Fraud – he will never be elected. Did the DNC vet this guy????"

The American people choose Obama. I guess you forgot about democracy in your argument. McCain spoke about Obama's experience for months and the media bashed Obama and his wife. Now your mad for a week of Palin bashing. Some republicans and conservative radicals are scum. What happen to the moral right? Where is there outrage at her daughter. If Palin was a democrat they would say her family has no values. Palin's clear abuse of power would be all over fox news and Sean Hannity(a clear racist) would ripping her apart. By the way Obama has 8 years state legislature experience and 4 years senate experience. He also has clear judgement and organization skills because he helped american works unlike Palin or McCain.

I am not sure if Obama has the experience we really need. When was the last time he stalked his own food, killed it, and field dressed it? He also has an understanding of the constitution, and that can not be a qualification either since McCain's VP didn't even know the role of the VP.

"30 years of bad experience ain’t worthwhile experience"

You said it Joe!

Can't wait till Biden really gets going – watch out!

I just came home from abroad. Who the hell is Sarah Palin? I can't leave the country for two weeks without the Repugs trying to further ruin my country.
