Man, it's really hopping over there on Skins's island this morning and afternoon.
However, I remain perplexed, utterly perplexed, by one certain thing.
For months the Obamaites, and the Obamaite primitives, have insisted "it's in the bag" for their man, Barry "Goldwater" Obama.....even going so far as to insist they don't need the votes of the worthier Democrat candidate for president, to put their man into the White House.
(The numbers disagree, but since when have the Obamaites, and the Obamaite primitives, ever considered numbers important?)
The Obamaites, and the Obamaite primitives, are surer about this, than anybody but God--their man's going to the White House, and it'll be in a landslide of Reaganean proportions.
Okay.
So.....since Barry "Goldwater" Obama's inevitable, what difference does it make who John McCain names as his vice-presidential running mate?
Why are the Obamaites, and the Obamaite primitives, so worried about this choice?

All the "it's in the bag" talk is more whistling past the graveyard. Stupid as they consistently are, Obamaites still have vague memories of election nights in 2000 and 2004. In both cases, they really believed it was "in the bag" only to have the harsh realities of the adult world slap them in the face. Somewhere deep in the primitive amphibian brain stems they use for reasoning, they realize the majority of people really are different from them, and that causes fear. The reaction of normal people to the Palin announcement only magnified that fear. It called up those vague memories of despair in 2000 and 2004.

Coach, I said this in two other threads . . . well, maybe three . . . My wife and I saw Bob Beckel on Fox & Friends this morning, discussing the possibility that Gov. Palin would be named as the VP nominee, and Beckel's body language said to us, If it's Palin, we're ****ed.
They are! :-) :cheersmate: :tongue:

DUmmies are obsessed with symbolism and to them the chance of the first woman Vice President having an (R) pushes them to a new level of insane hysterics.

Exactly. If it was a foregone conclusion, then their discussions in DUmmieland should strictly be on what they hope he can accomplish in office, who he might appoint to his cabinet, and variations on their visions of a perfect world and BushCo going to The Hague. Instead, they're still talking about what the Obamassiah has to do in order to win, or beat Diebold, or whatever other kooky things they dream up. This disposition they display can hardly be viewed as one where they believe the election is "in the bag."

The problem with that is that Democrats have very few "firsts."
The first black U.S. Senator was a Republican, during the 1870s.
The first U.S. Senator of Chinese derivation was a Republican.
The first female U.S. Congressman was a Republican, from Montana, and elected even before women had the right to vote.
And so on and on and on.
During the 1960s, there was a time when the U.S. Senate consisted of 97 WASPs, one female, one black, and one of Chinese derivation.
Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine), Edward Brooke (R-Massachusetts), and Hiram Fong (R-Hawaii).
The first female U.S. Senator, to be honest, was a woman, Rebecca Felton (D-Georgia), in the early 1920s, but that was a one-day appointment, and she was, like, 88 years old. The first female U.S. Senator elected in her own right was Harriet Caraway (D-Arkansas), some time in the early 1930s, but she wasn't anybody the primitives would like. The first female governor of a state was Nellie Tayloe Ross (the mid-1920s, I think) (D-Wyoming)--but then and again, here was someone the primitives wouldn't like either.
It doesn't surprise me that the Republicans are going to have the first female vice-president, not at all.
And probably the first black president, sometime.
It's probably not going to happen, but I'd like John McCain to announce that Condaleeza Rice is continuing on as U.S. Secretary of State after January 20, 2009--but I'm guessing she wouldn't be too enthusiastic about doing that. Dealing with obstructors and destructors can get wearying after a while.

The only Presidents to be impeached had "D"s after their name,that sort of sticks in their craw too. :-)
