Yeah, that was a mistake. But it was a bigger mistake to be so obviously political and pander to the weakening evangelical right wing base. Their power is all but gone. He should have gone more toward the middle and got the college educated whites and swing voters. Palin scared the bejesus out of normal people.

But even if he'd picked a more moderate person I doubt he could have won. It's a moot point I guess. O spanked him by winning the old fashioned retail campaign and by pioneering the new media campaign. He changed politics forever.

The O team was just smarter and better all the way around. McCain was in over his head from the start, even if he was right on some of the issues.

Did you not see the icy cold, awkward hand shake between her and McCain and the way they exited the stage last night. There was zero warmness between the two. The amount of dislike and awkwardness between the two will come out in time, I guarantee you.

No, I didn't see that. But if it's true we will see.

Oh, but see now your just being a gossip and a rumor monger.

I saw them hug once. It was kinda weird looking. Worse than when he hugged Bush. At least she had clothes on.

Wrong! I watched Hume and Barnes and Wallace compliment the Obama camapaign for how well they ran their campaign, at the historical significance of the moment, they were the first to call Ohio before MSNBC or CNN, they criticized the McCain campaign failures, they were VERY fair. No whining at all. Two hours after the election called? Plenty of time to recap and discuss and kick around the issues. My God they had been on the air since 4 pm!

Palin is a diva and puts herself out there as some sort of conservative evangelical but then romps around in a towel in front of men other than her husband. Come to think of it, I wonder if Todd was there? Ya'll know good and well that if O did this you'd be all over it like white on rice and it'd be 'news'.
You are the funny one!

It wouldn't even see the light of day at MSNBC and the other Obama networks...........
