Obama a Buckeye fan confirmed?

Michigan is now a lost cause.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Did Obama just say Biden has been married for 65 years? Doesn't he know that Biden is 65?

 

[DMczaf]

...what does that have to do with anything?

I can't believe I forgot about the start of the war, WTF!

:|

 

[PantherLotus]

he just did the "is this thing on?!" tap. :lol

 

[Keylime]

Oooooo Barrack!

You slick devil!

 

[PantherLotus]

:lol :lol

he just bombed alaska!!

 

[The Librarian]

:lol @ the Alaska comment.

 

[Tamanon]

"except Alaska":lol

 

[typhonsentra]

"Now that I think about it...." :lol

 

[UltimaKilo]

He just brought up something... Do presidential candidates travel to Alaska?

 

[bill0527]

I don't see any republicans in this republican thread.

Guess they've all been banned.

 

[Keylime]

What the hell?!

Barack dude... don't do that shit :lol

 

[Hootie]

BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN BIDEN

LOLBAMA :lol

 

[Tamanon]

He just brought up something... Do presidential candidates travel to Alaska?

Nah, 3 electoral votes and such a pain to get to. Hell, usually they don't ever hit Hawaii.:lol

And bill, you just posted below one, there are at least 6 in this thread that I've seen.

 

[PantherLotus]

oh shit he's about to compare how long he's been campaigning to his vp-opponent's experience!

19 months




err. it would have been a good opportunity to do so.

 

[typhonsentra]

A little trouble getting a Biden chant started.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Obama just brought up that more than half of his time in the Senate he has been campaigning for Prez! >.<

 

[Suikoguy]

I was wondering if there was anybody less experienced then Palin running for Pres/VP

You have to go back 100 years to find someone

In a just world we'd get to see Tim Russert dissect her point by point on Meet the Press.

We wouldn't have enough popcorn for that smackdown.

Instead we have Tom "McCain was a POW" Brokaw or David "McCain is a Maverick" Gregory. Palin on MTP will be pure weaksauce as a result. Russert will be sorely missed.

 

[lexdysia]

He is implying it heavily and being passive-aggressive. I like his style.

 

[PantherLotus]

while funny, this is an argument rarely brought up by other, similarly campaigning opponents.

They can always get Andrea Greenspan to do it!

 

[Deku]

What are the points of these rallies? I assume they are attended by democrats. How will it sway the independents?

 

[lexdysia]

Broadcasting over the tee-vee.

 

[Tamanon]

Some independents show up, but they're used for local newspapers, to gather information from attendants for promotional concerns, to register voters and to be on TV.

 

[NLB2]

Biden is really highlighting his experience now.

"When I was a 29-year-old kid...who had been [in the Senate] for a few years already."

Huh?

I'm not watching the speech but this makes no sennse at all. NH Senate?

 

[PantherLotus]

message message message message. pound it home until it is taken up or it is rejected.

 

[Gaborn]

Facts were never Obama's thing.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Which is the sign of a crappy campaign.

 

[Keylime]

Drum up local press and spout any new talking points as they arise for the media cycles I imagine.

I enjoy them, regardless of their purpose, from both camps.

 

[lexdysia]

John Glenn.

 

[Hootie]

Somebody fainted AGAIN :lol :lol

This happens at every Obama rally :lol

 

[Tamanon]

Huh?

Actually he JUST turned 30 when he entered the Senate.

 

[Keylime]

I swear to God.

Do people faint at McCain rallies?

 

[Deku]

:lol someone fainted again!

 

[EMBee99]

"But we don't owe him our vote!"

The look he gave...damn.

 

[Gaborn]

John Glenn.

Ahhh, not really watching so was just going by his post. That explains it though.

 

[Formless]

Water bottle!

 

[Shockgamer]

Takes me back to those old televised Michael Jackson concerts, where they were constantly cutting to girls being taken out on stretchers.

The economy is on an upswing Obama avoiding recession with 3% growth, which is very healthy. But he will NEVER look into that fact.

Water bottle!

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

Apparently not yours either. The 65 years of marriage comment was a reference to John Glenn's marriage.

 

[Tamanon]

I swear to God.

Do people faint at McCain rallies?

Yeah, people faint at these things all the time, although it's more pronounced at Obama ones just because people tend to stand around for hours beforehand waiting to get in.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

He's really tripping up on his words.

 

[NullPointer]

Do people faint at McCain rallies?

I think if a person collapses at a McCain rally they're staying down.

 

[UltimaKilo]

:lol at "twin cities" joke! I actually liked that one!

 

[Keylime]

He's really tripping up on his words.

Yeah. Not one of his best outings I've seen as far as pacing goes.

I think if a person collapses at a McCain rally they're staying down.

Dude... :lol

 

[PantherLotus]

!!! time to bring back the fainting women. :lol

Which is the sign of a crappy campaign.

Or the sign of a crappy political system, neither of which either side of the aisle has any motivation to change (or right to bitch about). This is common for all candidates and is a non issue. Nobody in their right mind would accuse their opponent of this, regardless of truth, because they too have to do the same thing. Prevention of hypocrisy, if you will.

Surely you don't want to discuss how much time McCain has spent campaigning for elections, reelections, and presidential runs?

That doesn't negate the fact that people are having a really rough time.

Cooollllddd-blooooded :lol
