To give her credit where credit is due, though--this is one thing Palin clearly IS good at. Star appeal, understanding what her likely and potential voters want on an emotional level and projecting that to them. It's a very different sort of iconic pull than Obama has, and in either case that's a dumb reason to vote for someone, but she does have it. |

Well it was part of my point. I think he probably thought it was going to be a soft TV spot where he could talk about Palin. I do agree parts of it were ridiculous, but there were also points where I think the women of The View really made good points and backed him in a corner that he wasn't expecting. |

![]() If the level of interest in her remains strong through the next two months, I think she could be the key to a McCain victory. The thing that bothers me the most about McCain winning is the apparent basis for the victory--a victory won through shallow means. |

The sleep-deprived new parent speaks!
![]() Yeah, I think if the level of media interest in her remains strong is probably the key. (Which at least for the moment is a bonus side effect of rationing her availability to interviewers, keeping her from taking questions on the stump, etc.) For now, she still has the momentum of novelty on her side: she arrived as an unknown to both the public and the media (unlike Biden--no juiciness left to squeeze there), a bona fide shock pick, and able to project the star appeal in person that McCain can't, while meanwhile Obama's appeal no longer feels new after all those months of airplay. There's a downside to this of course, which is that she's therefore also tempting, fresh meat and so everything about her is being gone over with a micrometer--but, a good PR team will have some tricks up its sleeve to try to convert that scrutiny into a silver lining by charging that this reflects desperation, that she's being savaged by sinister "piranhas" (as McCain's campaign manager put it), etc. It's shallow, yeah, but campaign politics aren't known for profundity and neither are all these Someone-Just-Like-Me!!! voters (funny, isn't it, how all three male candidates are by all appearances devoted parents too, yet you don't hear millions of moms and dads out there gushing about how this means "he understands my issues" as a parent). |

I'm watching his appearance on The View now. I'm surprised that they're asking such pointed questions.

When they asked why he endorsed campaigns that "we know are lies," he says they're not lies.
Unfortunately, they don't push further. |

Folks, what do we think of McCain's argument as to why his campaign has gotten so slimy:
"Well, if Senator Obama had done as I asked and agreed to doing town hall meetings, the campaign wouldn't be like this." ? Is that really an answer? Sure, McCain wouldn't be able to blatantly lie about Obama if he was right next to him, but is this really an acceptable cause of the slimy campaign that McCain's now running? ![]() Plus, does Obama seriously have to do whatever McCain asks of him?? ![]() I realize he's trying to make Obama look like the bad guy---"Well, he didn't do the reasonable thing"---but it's sooooooo stupid.

It makes me sick how he just sits and there calmly says 'they're not lies' when everyone knows they are. How does he sleep? The ambition to be president has swallowed him whole.

Honest to God, every question they are asking is making him squirm.
This is very surprising to me. |

The best way to summarize why I don't like John McCain ...
He's just ... wrong. |
