The Republicans are slinging mud at Obama pretty bad. Obama is receiving a lot of support from Democrats as well. Does that mean Republicans are more worried about Obama than Democrats?

Biden did not sound too confident yesterday as he acknowledged that he may not be the best person for the job. Maybe Palin will be debating Hillary instead. :lol:

According to some people on here that is a possibility. I think Hillary would have been a better choice for Obama in the first place.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.

 

I am one Republican that is worried about obama. I'm sure there are many more republicans worried about him as well. I'm not only worried sick, I'm scared to be honest.

 

Not worried or scared of him personally...Worried he might win.

That's what happens when you don't have expierience making executive decisions. You make the wrong choice.

We won't know if it was the "wrong" choice until after the election.

 

It was the wrong choice in my opinion. But my opinion doesn't mean much.

Just winning the election does not really define whether or not the voters or candidates made the right choice. That will not be determined until after four years of service. IMO claiming victory right after the election is premature for either of them. When they walk their talk...Victory can be claimed.

First of all, I never said just winning the election would make it the right choice. I said, "after the election".

 

Secondly, it depends on how you look at it. Based on Karl Rove's principles, McCain picked a running mate that he thought would help him win the election. Not one that he thought would be ready to run the country. Now if McCain wins, in some ways, it was the right choice no matter what. It served it's purpose to get the win. Same for Obama.

Excuse me. I assumed when you said "after the election" you were meaning after the votes were counted. If you really were saying "after the election" as in four years or so, I appologize.

 

EVERY candidate picks a running mate that they think may help them win the election. Palin is no different...Other than the fact that picking her has stirred more than any before.

 

obama had a chance to pick a lock. He picked JoeJoe instead. Do you really think he had our country in mind when he made the pick?

Kind of like the Republican presidential race in 2000?

To answer the original topic ... heck, no. That's an entirely fair question to ask of a vice presidential candidate.

Me neither.

 

Me neither three.

I'm in good company with HHS Dad and leatherneck, I've never heard of it. I guess Sarah and I will have to get on wikipedia more often.

Karl Rove's principles???? I guess you could call it that. You could call it any political advisor's principles.

Then again, none of the three of you all are running for VP.

I've never heard of it, either.
