In some ways this may put the Dems at a bit of a disadvantage. If Palin wins, she wins in spite of a moderator with a frank financial stake in an Obama win. If Palin loses, she loses not because she did poorly, but because Ifill tossed her biased que...  [Read More]

Web Rider, like it or not, there is a conflict of interest. Let's turn this around--if someone was writing a book about McCain and stood to gain a lot of money if McCain won the presidency, how would you feel? Everything I've heard about Ifill and...  [Read More]

I trained a gal to do preliminary tests at one of the offices I worked at. A few weeks later we discovered she was involved in some cash missing from the cash drawer (which mysteriously 'reappeared' under a printer when she was confronted with the di...  [Read More]

Ah but he was their lawyer and helped train their people in Chicago back when he was a Community Organizer. That doesn't mean he trained them to commit fraud, or that he even knew that some people were committing this fraud. When I became a deputy r...  [Read More]

Acorn workers have been implicated in voter fraud in WI in 2004 (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=780716) and again in recent months--it's a pretty big issue here. That does not mean Obama even knew about voter fraud in Chicago. Then ag...  [Read More]

Confusing Republicans with racism (under the not-so--subtle guise of 'white privilege') shows just how little this speaker knows. I'd love to see his explanation of how Colin Powell or Condeleeza Rice are part of this 'white privilege'/racist group....  [Read More]

From all I've read, the black community does not see Obama as their champion. An estimated 90 to 95% of African-Americans eligible to vote are, according to some polls, expected to vote for Obama. I think it's pretty safe to say Obama's their man....  [Read More]

Race, ethnicity, whatever. Wave your degrees around in PMs if you need, but the topic is what would happen if Obama loses. Please stay on topic. As for the sexism discussion, yes men and women talk that way. However, I prefer not to deal with the bo...  [Read More]

"The Dems" didn't reject her. Obama did. If the Dem leadership really wanted to press the issue they could have. In any case, Clinton isn't on the ticket. Trooper-gate? Fired for insubordination. It's also not a serious election-busting ske...  [Read More]

While it may appear that way, I believe that McCain seriously believed that choosing Palin would help him. Perhaps he thought that she would siphon off angry Hillary voters? By any standard that's an unsure, unstable path. I guess we'll see the exten...  [Read More]

So since my Uncle was an officer in the navy does that mean he can be president too? The question was who could use the military best, Obama or McCain, and experience in the military is going to give McCain a substantial advantage in that particular...  [Read More]
