Everywhere around and in my campus are hordes of people telling students what to do and giving out and explaining what paper work to fill in and where they will vote. Hell I even got a letter from the county clerk telling me about how since I moved I have to fill out some papers and mail them in to be able to vote. At least around here it seems pretty easy and straight forward. The people helping you out are likely members from the Obama campaign or some non-profit groups. The state itself does very little to help voters. There's no reason to have a month deadline and in-person restrictions for first time voters, and the SOS displays completely bogus shit about re-registering to vote. They're telling people if you register with multiple addresses, it'll affect your insurance information and student loans, but it has never actually been an issue. | ||

So if you "commit" abortion in one state, then move back to AK where it's illegal, are you then charged with a crime? Because the Full Faith and Credit clause would bitch slap that case and then weeeeeeeeee, we're back to dead fetii for everybody! To be fair, in regards to the other landmark case everyone in America should know, she probably agrees with the Dredd Scott ruling. | ||

"Well, let's see. There's –of course –in the great history of American rulings there have been rulings, that's never going to be absolute consensus by every American," Palin said. "And there are–those issues, again, like Roe v Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So you know–going through the history of America, there would be others but–" "Can you think of any?" Couric interjected. "Well, I could think of–of any again, that could be best dealt with on a more local level, maybe I would take issue with," Palin responded. "But you know, as mayor, and then as governor and even as a vice president, if I'm so privileged to serve, wouldn't be in a position of changing those things but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today." I'm putting it in text, because it makes it even more clear how ridiculously idiotic her answers are. Oh, and Biden's answer: When Couric posed the same question to Joe Biden, the Democratic VP candidate and longtime member of the Senate Judiciary Committee said he disagreed with a ruling that invalidated a portion of the Violence Against Women Act. "You know, I’m the guy who wrote the Violence Against Women act. And I said that every woman in America if they are beaten and abused by a man should be able to take that person to court. Meaning you should be able to go to federal court and sue in federal court the man who abused you if you can prove that abuse," Biden said. "But they said no that a woman, there’s no federal jurisdiction and I held, they acknowledged, I held about 1,000 hours of hearings proving that there’s an effect in interstate commerce." "Women who are abused and beaten and beaten are women who are not able to be in the work force. And the Supreme Court said there is an impact on commerce but this is federalizing a private crime and we’re not going to allow it. I think the Supreme Court was wrong about that decision," he continued. | ||

I mean, I know she is a politician and they are supposed to avoid answers but this is just silly. It's like she either doesn't understand half the questions or just doesn't listen at all to the interviewer. I think she has a list of things she wants to say before an interview and then just says them and ticks them of regardless of which questions she is asked. Forget straight, how many acceptable answers that are in anyway valid. (AFIK the # is 0, I know I haven't seen a youtube clip of one) | ||

 http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,581724,00.html Having vented my intellectual disgust, I'd better share my fears. One is that Palin's policy failings pale beside her animal appeal, and that she could still be a major asset for the McCain ticket. Last night I saw TV interviews with average moms and housewives out in the heartland -- basic working class white women. They are blithely unaware of Palin's stumbles in her big TV appearances. They are aware of one thing only -- she identifies with them and they identify with her. And we know gut identification historically trumps all other calculations in political decisions, except among political elites (or maybe for them, too; after all, most of the intelligentsia identifies with Obama; he's one of them). ... McCain clearly has the gut advantage; Obama has the brain advantage. This does not augur well for Obama. Watching the two men, I found myself drawn at a human level to McCain's gruff, simple, but sincere-sounding answers -- and put off a bit by Obama's analytical, complex, long-winded answers. And that's coming from a committed Democrat! Imagine what a swing voter, an uncommitted centrist voter, might be thinking! With McCain, you're drawn to the man and his character. With Obama, you're drawn to his thinking and the rational possibility that his ideas may be better. For a lot of people, that's a no-brainer: They will always choose the man and his character over an abstract idea, no matter how eloquently put. And, for all her shortcomings, that could still work for Sarah Palin, too. She's 100 percent gut, and clearly a lot less brain. | ||

I really hope Biden ignores Palin completely. He has nothing to gain by making her look dumb(er) or insulting her. The point is made: She has no place in a federal election. Biden needs to concentrate on attacking McCain and just pointing out the falsehoods likely to be present in some of Palin's nonsensical ramblings. | ||
