![]() "Boater" wrote in message ... As far as I have seen, Palin appeals only to the basest of the base, and if McCain loses, her selection will be listed as one of the significant reasons. The majority of the public thinks she is an empty-headed opportunist. It may be the way you see it, but be prepared for a possible (but remote) surprise. Politically, you do not represent the average "Joe SixPack" citizen. Unless Obama stumbles it appears he's on his way, but.... McCain's current strong suit is the popularity of airhead Palin and now Joe the Plumber. He's also getting some points for his "speech" at the traditional Al Smith Memorial Dinner and his recent, delayed appearance on Letterman's show where he completely disarmed Letterman by simply saying, "I screwed up". People relate and appreciate this type of personality and the media is helping, unknowingly. The backlash created by the attention and criticism the Dems are giving to both Palin and the Plumber may bite them in the rear. BTW ... in case you missed it .... Palin will appear on SNL tonight. Watch the polls swing slightly towards McCain again. Eisboch |

I'm sure the SNL crowd will be kind to Palin...they usually are to guests. I can't wait for the "Live from New York" shout out from Sarah... "Live from...(where am I?)...?" "It's...(what day is this?)...?" Palin is a ditz. If American voters take her seriously, they ought to be disenfranchised. |

Fey does an incredible job. CNN has a clip showing them both speaking in split screen. The first time I saw it, I had a hard time determining who the "real" Palin was. Palin is a ditz. If American voters take her seriously, they ought to be disenfranchised. You just identified your weakness. Airhead or not, many, many American voters like her and find her personality and politics refreshing. Question is, "How many?" Eisboch |

I like national political leaders to be smart and knowledgeable . Brilliance is not necessary, perhaps not even desired, but smart and knowledgeable are. Palin is neither. The fact that many Americans like her is fine, but that they "like her" for the vice presidency is *not* fine. Moving away from Palin for the moment, the "rumor" is that Colin Powell will endorse Obama tomorrow on "Meet the Press." I'd be surprised if he endorses anyone but, even if he does, I wonder if his endorsement carries any water anywhere. It seems to me that political endorsements, like newspaper endorsements, don't mean much, if they ever did. |

If he does, I think it will be based more on his feeling of being dissed, abandoned or frustrated by Bush and Co. That's unfortunate because it's emotional rather than professional. Powell's politics and views have always been much more in line with the conservatives than the liberals. Eisboch |

Eisboch His weak point is that like most elitists, they feel that half the country should not even have a say. If they win, we will not.. |
