http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080823/ap_on_el_pr/cvn_analysis Edit: thanks for that politico article fusion, i hadn't seen it before, it pretty much perfectly encapsulates my feelings on the matter so basically fournier straight up admits that the AP will from now on constantly publish opinion pieces without calling them opinion pieces. sad to see a once great media institution go down the drain =/ | ||

Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Bush and Cheney speeches/segments of the RNC. Completely independent of political value or strength in what they say, and no matter how well they are received (good or bad), it will be a masterpiece of entertainment. | ||

Pre-written - was planning on criticizing Obama without even listening to the speech. | ||

Is he expecting to pick up Hillary supporters with this? Because Hillary supporters who vote McCain because of Palin ought to be ashamed of themselves. "I support Palin because after Hillary left the race I wanted a candidate who is diametrically opposed to Hillary on every issue." Hillary was a legitimate candidate with a sterling resume. Palin has NO resume. So supporting her like that shows that their support is based entirely on gender, which of course makes them no better than the bigots who refused to vote for Hillary just because she was a woman. To me, this just seems like a slap in the face to Hillary's supporters, as McCain is implying that their votes can be "bought" so easily. Also, so much for McCain's "experience is key" talking point. That kinda went out the window with this pick. What the heck is he going to base his campaign off of now? It's like he just threw the campaign message in the shitter. I don't know what the republican's were thinking, unless they really expect Hillary supporters to switch sides. And honestly, I don't think that's very likely. | ||

The trouble is that many (almost all) newspapers carry AP stories. Just look through a newspaper and see how many times the byline -AP appears | ||

Polls are showing Obama has widened his lead again, this is getting very interesting. If Obama hadnt made that speech, I think it would have worked. PBS interviewed several hillary fans, CNN interviewed several more, and every single one said that the speech moved them and they were behind Obama. I dont doubt that there are still upset hillary supporters, or those switching to mccain, but I think its dropped after the speeches from the Clinton's and Obama. | ||

What scandal are you talking about though. Maybe you're thinking of Ted Stevens? | ||

Mccain really needs someone to boost his standing in economy, Romney would have done well, as everyone knows who Romney is, and i had never even heard of Palin before (Bostonians don't care much about Alaska, sorry) | ||
