wow wow wow! I'm so excited! One or the other or both of these two is heading for a huge implosion with tears, blood or a combination of the two. With any luck one will pee her pants. Yay for putting microphones in front of two people who are prone to oral diarrhea! This is gonna be great!
Here we go!
First off, both ok, little dry. Interesting, they have a focus group of undecided Ohioans (I think these guys have gotta be faking it for the attention. How can anyone in our country today be undecided?) on the tracker crawl with men and women lines. It's weird to see it, and weirder still that that's what they chose to track. Hmmmm.
Oh man, she's coming out swinging! Looks like her tactic is going to be using certainty of delivery to cover a lack of knowledge. Hmmm, remind you of anyone who rhymes with Tush? So she hasn't answered a question yet, just "talking from the heart." What the hell is that about? Why are people going for this? Great god, why is the tracker going positive for her? Do they not realize she is spouting populist crap and NOT ANSWERING the questions? AT ALL? She is not even trying to stay on the same topic, just launching into canned bits and not even necessarily about the same thing the question was about. What the fuck? Why are they not getting this? Why is Joe staying pretty neutral and hers is going up? Is she a witch? Oh no! Without Obama on the other side to speak calmly and intelligently, my aneurysm is starting to go! AAAhhhhhh!
Let's try this. Everyone who has ever had the fantasy that if they would just get a regular joe with common sense into DC he would clean up that town and Jimmy Stewart will save us all from hell and the handbasket, raise your hand. Yeah, I'm typing one handed right now. I loved that movie Dave. Super stuff. But come on. Do we really want "Joe Six-Pack"...her words, not mine, to be our leader? The whole argument is that people identify with her. Remember the Roseanne Barr show? People loved that show because they identified with the family. Would you honestly want her or the husband in our highest office? If you would, get off my blog!
Oh man, of course she doesn't want to talk about the causes of global warming! She knows she'll sound like a moron! Oh god please ask her about dinosaurs...please please please! Yowza, did she say nucular? Great christ, is the bar so low for her that we're going to call it a win if she doesn't vomit on herself?
Am I an optimist, or is the approval line starting to get a little more normal. Are people realizing she's full of shit? Are they not buying the McCain as change song and dance? I have just recently begun to believe we may see government who are not only not actively trying to do harm, but actually trying to do good. I'm not ready to trust the public yet though. Sorry, public. I've seen too much of how you treat your kids.
Did Joe have his eyes done? I was kinda hoping he'd call her "Cupcake" or something. You know the right is gonna scream sexism anyway, why not have a little fun with it? If you're going to be hung, why not enjoy the crime? Gosh, I sure swallowed it whole when he talked about the whole god-forbid thing. That seemed so genuine.
Oh shut it. Wasilla Main street my ass.
Here's what I don't get. Her whole thing is that she's so personable. So approachable. I get it. I can see that. I don't believe it to be genuine, but I honestly don't think genuine is a prereq for that. If people believe you are personable, close enough. But here's the thing. I think Biden is a kick in the head. I love this guy. He has a great story, wonderful smile, sparky sense of humor, straight talk. He's fantastic on the relatable front. And Obama? Day-um! Love that guy! His smile is 10 miles wide, he's spicy and has a great sense of fun. I know he has to be all professional and all, but I really think people would love to see his loose side. Remember how people loved Dole after the election when he went on SNL?
Ugh, shining city on a hill? Really? Do you think she really believes that, or wants joe six-pack to run outside and wave his Dixie flag around and shoot his gun in the air and scream, "God bless America..these colors don't run!"
Oh, he just choked himself up! You could see sincerity in him as he just tried to pull it together. That was a lovely real moment.
Darn, no one peed themselves. They're gonna call it a tie. Dang! No one will mention she never answered a question or gave a policy answer. She will get credit for ot stripping naked and screaming Freebird! and everyone will say she pulled it off. Hooray for making the election a game and not a real decision.
Hope you enjoyed yourself!
