September 5, 200818 yr You realize, I believe, the present votes was when he was in the Illinois State Legislature. 134 times he couldn't make a decision between yes or no. You can get by with that in a legislature but I don't think Putin will settle with the decision of PRESENT. Palin sure never had that option as a governor. She actually had to make stands on issues. Maybe Obama was just confused and thought that the guy with the gavel was taking roll instead of taking a roll call vote. Maybe his hearing is impaired.
September 8, 200818 yr You want to see caving.... watch O over the next 50some days as he tries to make up to female voters for the snubbing he gave of Hillary. He has to try and use the female O as much as possible to try and draw them back. Speaking of "the one who cried her eyelashes off," isn't it funny that the prevailing thought was that she helped draw women to O. But that same strategy is forbidden and insulting for Palin. Good for Oprah. Bad for Palin.

I don't know if this is true or not just something that was said.

Dems would have you believe that millions voted for Hillary and Obama was having trouble attracting women or at least certain groups of women.

ANY OTHER WAY and she still might be in the shape she is in now. Maybe her daughter was practicing some sort of birth control that is taught in sex ed, unbeknownst to her mother, and it FAILED.
September 8, 200818 yr I vehemently disagree. Conservatives weren't staying home on election day (are the thread-a-day Obama attacks any indication?). Picking Palin brings no new voters to the table, probably turning off a few in fact. I'm just one vote but her selection lured me to vote Conservative this election. I was undecided before this selection to vote for Mcain, not vote at all or vote for the Green Party. I'm sure there are others just like, actually I've spoken with them personally. I feel it did sway votes.

I feel it did sway votes. Let me get this straight. You were considering voting for the Green party, but the selection of Palin moved you to consider the Republican party?
September 8, 200818 yr Let me get this straight. You were considering voting for the Green party, but the selection of Palin moved you to consider the Republican party? I was considering voting for anybody other than Obama/Biden. I vote for the person, not the party.
September 8, 200818 yr I was considering voting for anybody other than Obama/Biden. I vote for the person, not the party. I'm just going to attempt to understand your logic. You were going to cast a vote for someone who wasn't Obama. Instead of McCain, you landed on Cynthia McKinney?
September 8, 200818 yr Since understanding my logic isn't on trial here, I'll make it short and sweet. I vote for the person not the party and I do not like Obama. I had more choices going on in my mind also, not just McKinney or Mcain and then there was the whole not voting thing. Listening to Palin, I guess some Obama supporters can understand where I am coming from; I was just taken away by her speech and stature.

Listening to Palin, I guess some Obama supporters can understand where I am coming from; I was just taken away by her speech and stature. Cynthia McKinney is probably more of a liberal than Obama. So when you say "I vote on the person, not the party", what you really mean is "I vote on the person, not the issues." Which is fine, I guess. Apparently, McCain caved to the Green Party supporters as well. :thumb: Just playing around with you 3wishes, I can feel what you are saying, I was going to go 3rd party as well, but I like McCain's choice. It still is a possibility, however.

It still is a possibility, however. As most know, I am going third party and Palin didn't get me to McCain, but in all fairness I am fairly certain McCain is crushing Obama in Kentucky. My mother on the other hand told me the other day that Palin has brought MANY members of her church including her to McCain. They were going to sit, go 3rd party, or possibly vote Obama because they weren't to fond of McCain. These voters are now firmly with McCain.
