well, i don't think it ultimately makes any difference whether obama is on video hesitating or saying dumb things from time to time---the context that he has created just by being on air alot demonstrates that they're mistakes. mc-cain makes them as well--but i don't oppose mc-cain for that. in fact, i don't know anyone in their right mind who makes a decision based on whether someone who is filmed long enough and often enough will fuck up. the reasons i oppose mc-cain are that i oppose everything that he has offered in terms of policy. i would hope that republicans have decided to oppose obama because of policy evaluations that they have made for themselves. i like to think that most folk are not as stupid as they are treated as being.
palin---what is there to say at this point? the comparison is not between obama and palin, but biden and palin, and even there, its a distraction.
