Skeezix Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'll take Friday, October 10. Announce Friday afternoon, and by Monday next maybe nobody will have noticed that the campaign signs say McCain/Lieberman. Quote
Doug Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Funny, I got n e-mail from my brother in Texas saying essentially the same thing, only it was Obama dumping Biden in favor of Hillary Clinton. Quote
STP Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'll take Friday, October 10. Announce Friday afternoon, and by Monday next maybe nobody will have noticed that the campaign signs say McCain/Lieberman. I suppose stranger things have happened and Lieberman has stumped for McCain. Seems believable but aren't there hurdles to jump before this can happen? Lieberman ran as an Independent but isn't he still officially a Democrat (Independent Democrat)? Quote
prole Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I hear that Cheney's offered to take Palin up on her moose hunting invitation. Not a moment too soon! Yoikes! Quote
bstach Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Is there any precidence for a VP candidate being switched out mid-campaign? Quote
billcoe Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I'll take Friday, October 10. Announce Friday afternoon, and by Monday next maybe nobody will have noticed that the campaign signs say McCain/Lieberman. Won't happen, not the least of which is these people never admit mistakes:-) Same for Obama Biden, but that was spot on the money a good choice for Barak IMO. Nobody is changing horses in the middle of the stream. Even Honest Abe knows that, ask McClellan. Quote
Hugh Conway Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Is there any precidence for a VP candidate being switched out mid-campaign? Never successfully. See McGovern '72 Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 No switch out, but this just in: Biden's getting a sex change operation. Quote
dmuja Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 No switch out, but this just in: Biden's getting a sex change operation. Kool, we'll get the womens vote back again b'cuz (as the McCain campaign says) "everyone knows that womens wil only vote for other womens" Quote
Dechristo Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 No switch out, but this just in: Biden's getting a sex change operation. isn't that, technically, a "switch out"? Quote

AlpineK Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) The Palin/Biden debate should be interesting. She's pissed off quite a few Republicans, but I don't think she's gone far enough over the top to get dumped. Edited September 30, 2008 by Feck Quote

Nobody is changing horses in the middle of the stream. Even Honest Abe knows that, ask McClellan. I agree with Bill. Even if they believe they made a mistake in choosing her, I doubt they will dump her now. They don't want to admit a mistake this big. Then who will vote for him? If he can't make up his mind on an issue such as who should be his VEEP then what else is he going to flip flop on? If he does swap out now, he'll lose it for sure. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Muthee's not gonna like this at all.... Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 BTW, has anyone notice that McCain has completely gone Obama crazy lately? He's copied Obama's 'change' message for his campaign slogan, and all he talks about now is Obama; very little about his own proposals. He's really reaching, too. Yesterday I heard him claim that he'd exhibited leadership because he stayed in Washington while Obama 'called in' during the crisis negotiations. Aside from this being a real stretch, John also failed to mention that, despite having waved a written copy of the bail out plan on front of the TV cameras on Monday , he claimed on Tue that he hadn't received a copy and so hadn't had a chance to read it (3 whole pages worth). He issued his remarks on the plan on Wed. OK, John, any time you wanna fucking delay the resolution of a national crisis for 2 days, you just let us know. It also seems that his injection into the negotiations (an initial deal was already struck before he ever got to Washington to 'show his leadership') did nothing but fuck things up. More than ever, McCain is revealing his true nature. He's basically a scamming, self aggrandizing asshole who has little to offer regarding economic policy; which is what this country needs most, of course. I'd say he's in a completely defensive position right now, and he's not playing rope-a-dope, either. It'll be very nice not to have to listen to his high pitched reaching, or his VP's nasal Wasinglish, or look at his wife Vampira anymore. Quote
rob Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Why would McCain replace her? After all, she's a genius irt energy policy. According to him, she "knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America." Plus, she's a foreign policy guru. After all, she is the governer of a state right next to Russia! Besides, he really, really likes her: "She's a partner and a soul-mate." Maybe she can help keep track of how many houses he owns, or help him locate the Iraq/Pakistan border. Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I just don't relate to these elitists: Now these folks, on the other hand, they seem so NORMAL! Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Yeah, but that was parody back then. Now these Stepford-zombie-freaks run the country. It's just not funny anymore. Who knew Dallas was a reality show? Edited September 30, 2008 by tvashtarkatena Quote
No. 13 Baby Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Only one flag lapel pin among them . . . and it looks like Palin raided Tina Fey's SNL wardrobe! Quote

StevenSeagal Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Six Pack The train wreck that is this woman keeps on chuffin'. Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the “extreme hostility” that she has faced from liberals. “Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said. Sure, what better place for small town, substance-abusing simpleton representation than the #2 position in the country? After all, these are important problems we gots. And hopefully she'll appoint uncle Roscoe and cousin Cletus to attorney general and secretary of state. Don't y'all think it's about time?!? Quote
