Title: Republican National Convention - Day 3 Live Thread
Post by: Wretched Excess on September 03, 2008, 07:55:13 AM

this is probably subject to some scrambling, but this was accurate last night.

Quote
WEDNESDAY, September 3

McCain's vice presidential choice, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, will speak on a day that will focus on McCain's economic proposals.

Other scheduled speakers included: Cindy McCain, the candidate's wife; former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney; former eBay Inc. CEO Meg Whitman; former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina, and Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman.

Palin is going to get more world wide eyeballs on her than Obama could ever hope to have had.. I hope she brings her game, cause we need to see some pushing back from her right from the starting gate.

If she nails it tonight, their ticket will be unstoppable ..

heh

Can you imagine the swarm of handlers scurrying about him; dressing him, grooming him, telling him where to stand, how to look, to be supportive of Bristol but avoid anything that might be misconstrued as sexual, etc etc etc.

I bet if he'd seen this coming...

This is the McCain campaign pledge today...they're going on the offense. Michael Steele was just on Fox News about Palin's ss# being stolen/released.  They are also comparing the covers and articles on Palin and contrasting them with Obama's coverage...It's sickening to say the least. The left is out to destroy her, to destroy her credibility and they're publishing lies about her without any fact.

Tonight's speakers need to come out swinging, gloves off.

Sources: Romney, Huckabee slated for Wednesday

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) — Former governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee are slated to speak at the Republican National Convention Wednesday evening according to sources. McCain's two former rivals will address attendees at 9:00 p.m., ET.

A convention official would only confirm that the 10:00 pm hour would feature former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin.

Strange as it sounds coming out of my mouth (or should I say keyboard) The election now rests in the hands of an unknown (as of a week ago) Governor of a mostly neglected state giving her speech at the RNC before her nomination for VP.

I would have never EVER imagined that a potential VEEP could be so important to any party. The mind boggles.

Anyway, I expect she will kick ass, for 3 reasons ;

a ) She has gone from a happy place to a woman scorned with some of the lowest, nastiest crap I have ever seen in politics. The junk the Obamatons flung at Hillary seems like little league baseball in comparison. She IS going to react.

b ) The whole Caribou Barbie meme has lowered the bar. People think she is dumb. They will be floored.

c ) She young and dynamic - in many ways Obama's equal in terms of "Star Quality" - The PalinStar! if you will. Her magnetic quality can only help.

The press parasites up in the galleries would shit themselves, and the Secret Service (who would have been alerted ahead of time, of course) wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

I don't get why people feel so bad for Bristol.  It's not like something horrible happened to her.  Like a lot of seventeen-year-olds, she got pregnant, she has the support of a loving family, and apparently she's getting married to the babiy's father.

It's not like she was hit by a truck and is disfigured for life or got some rare terminal disease that will leave her in agony until she dies a horrible, painful death.  She's having a baby. I always thought that was supposed to be a joyous event.

You know what? I wish Ms. Palin would get somebody to babysit the little one. Bristol is soon to have her own baby. Every time we see Bristol she is holding the baby. Maybe Dad could hold the baby. Just a thought. I feel sorry for Bristol.
I don't get why people feel so bad for Bristol.  It's not like something horrible happened to her.  Like a lot of seventeen-year-olds, she got pregnant, she has the support of a loving family, and apparently she's getting married to the babiy's father.

It's not like she was hit by a truck and is disfigured for life or got some rare terminal disease that will leave her in agony until she dies a horrible, painful death.  She's having a baby. I always thought that was supposed to be a joyous event.



none of the above, because she has been in the very viscous nasty press for four days, now she is sitting there in front of the whole world. None of this notoriety is of her choosing.  Now Cindy McCain has the little one.

Palin is going to get more world wide eyeballs on her than Obama could ever hope to have had.. I hope she brings her game, cause we need to see some pushing back from her right from the starting gate.

If she nails it tonight, their ticket will be unstoppable ..


This is the McCain campaign pledge today...they're going on the offense. Michael Steele was just on Fox News about Palin's ss# being stolen/released.  They are also comparing the covers and articles on Palin and contrasting them with Obama's coverage...It's sickening to say the least. The left is out to destroy her, to destroy her credibility and they're publishing lies about her without any fact.

Tonight's speakers need to come out swinging, gloves off.

Giuliani did a great job... I love that she introduced all the kids and she has such a sparkle in her eye..

I just cant believe that baby is sleeping thru all that..  :cheersmate:

This way, just before McCain has the number needed to win the nomination, the next state up "passes" to his home state, so it (Arizona) gets the honor of putting their man over the top.

It's just a tradition.

"A community organizer??" LOL! DAYUM!!!! Rudy is really ripping the Obamessiah apart! Especially all of Obama's "Present" votes. What kind of idiot votes "present" 130 times?? From what I've read, Palin's speech was good too, but ya gotta love the AP and Reuters with all the Bristol Belly Shots..... figures.

I'd love to hear how this is playing to people who don't want to vote for McCain. Has she changed your mind?

The speech, and Sarah generally, played very well with my wife and I, both of which had no interest in McCain before he signed her onto the ticket.  We were leaning strongly to Bob Barr.

most people dont... but if you listen carefully to Obama's people when they talk about it, it was 'more than 20 years ago' which would make him early 20s and right out of college.

this is one of those 'resume enhancing' jobs that college kids think will help them down the road. it may or may not, but its mostly about relationships and doing the grunt work for the leaders in the community. its a dues paying thing. that's all.

but yes, lest we besmirch the Community Organizers of America, we shall fall back and stop critisizing Obama on this most specialized field he toiled in ..lo those many long weeks..  :whatever: :-)

Highlights of Rudy's speech last night :popcorn:

Quote
"On the other hand, you have a resume from a gifted man with an Ivy League education," Giuliani said of Obama. "He worked as a community organizer, and immersed himself in Chicago machine politics. Then he ran for the state legislature, where nearly 130 times he was unable to make a decision yes or no. He simply voted 'present.'"

Giuliani said he was never afforded such a luxury as mayor of New York City and Obama is in for a rude awakening if he thinks he can take that kind of cavalier approach into the White House.

"When you're President of the United States, you can't just vote 'present,'" Giuliani said. "You must make decisions."

"So, our opponents want to reframe the debate. They would have you believe that this election is about change versus more of the same. But that's really a false choice because 'change' is not a destination ... just as "hope" is not a strategy."

Giuliani also intimated that Obama is a politician who changes his position to suit his own interests.

"How many times have we seen Barack Obama do that? Obama was going to take public financing for his campaign, until he didn't. Obama was against wiretapping before he voted for it. When speaking to a pro-Israel group, Obama favored an undivided Jerusalem, until the very next day when he changed his mind.

"I hope for his sake, Joe Biden got that VP thing in writing."
