Is it only me or do others think the Obama-Biden message is too fuzzy. There's no need to over-think this. You can bet that voters won't -- how else can you explain the utterly vacuous and cynical selection of Sarah Palin. They're banking on voters' not thinking and considering that many voters voted twice for Bush -- and that was enough to elect him -- they're probably right.
So I say, keep it simple. Here goes.
1. Bush fucked up Iraq.
2. Bush fucked up Afghanistan and allowed Al Qaeda to hang out in Pakistan.
3. While Bush was fucking up Iraq and Afghanistan -- and spending money we didn't have to fund the Iraqi adventure -- he was letting the economy go down the toilet.
4. McCain votes with bush 95% of the time.
5. McCain = More of the Same.
If a military win followed by an economic decline did in Bush Senior, a military quagmire followed by economic crisis should spell doom for Bush and his 95% supporter McCain.
Memo to Democrats: keep it simple and pound home the message.

Palin: A Female Bush -- ie moron
John McCain served this country. He now claims to put country first. Is this why he suffered as a prisoner or war? So that a moron like Sarah Palin could run for the nation's second highest office and be a heartbeat away from the most important office in the world?
I disagree with McCain on many if not most issues. I have respected him. I think most Americans respect him. He has lost much of this respect. Why? Because Palin is a cynical ploy. Sound like the people, so the thinking (wishing) goes, and the voters will identify and vote for you. Smile a lot, sound chipper and positive and come across like you're just the average American.
What's really pathetic is that this thinking just might be right.
Newsflash -- I don't want an average anything running this country.
Palin's performance in the debate has been satisfactorily analyzed and the most reject the notion that she demonstrated her qualification by not imploding. She is Julie McCoy -- only the country doesn't need a cruise director. There she is smiling, winking and cheerleading on the Ledo Deck. Meanwhile, Wall Street needs a bailout (and aren't we anticipating another shoe to drop?), 750,000 jobs are gone, we're stuck(with the bill) in Iraq and we have inadequate forces in Afghanistan. The Love Boat "America" is in very unsettled waters and we can't afford any passengers. It's time to throw Julie McCoy overboard.
Of course Joe Biden couldn't really take her on. It had to be tough on him to play it so cool. And it was smart, too. But I sure was hoping that he would rip her apart. He had to want to take her down when she accused Obama and him of surrendering in Iraq. That's rich. We've been waging a fruitless war, premised on false pretenses, costing thousands of lives and many times more taxpayers dollars than the bailout -- and those who want to end it are surrendering? Spare me.
I also loved when she urged voters to look forward and not at the past. Why have a record if it can't be examined? And it's McCain's record that is most relevant. The guy voted with Bush 95% of the time. What's maverick about that? Nothing. It's just more of the same. McCain's support for Bush policies is telling -- and that's why Palin had prepared lines to change the subject.
Watching the debate I couldn't help but think of Bush. He has that stupid little snicker, "heh, heh, heh." She has the cheerleader-esque and artificial positivity. Both are clueless. One proved to be dangerous. She shouldn't be given the chance.
