The Democrats Palin comparison to the republicans

Have you tried WD-40?

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!

YEAH!

Apocalypse indeed. The hamsters must have gotten a little Palin the face with the sudden surge of traffic over the past 48 hours.

Whoa...that was intense.
(((hamsters)))

I've never even been to Alaska.

Why am I verklempt?

i can't wait for biden to call her honey or sweetie in a debate

We need hamsters that are juiced.

Somebody call Barry Bonds

If the hamsters are anything like I am, they're probably doing roundhouse kicks, triple fist pumps and snorting pure oxygen. Life is good, folks.

The hamsters in our web server are running their tiny feet off trying to keep up with the demand for pages; here’s an open thread while we keep them hydrated until the traffic tapers off...

/it's not much of a mystery why it's happening

Second the motion: MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!

I posted on Fallback that the Obama campaign has already reacted to this news by attacking Palin's inexperience! The chutzpah!

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!

re: #11 Shug

Oh... That Barry.

The hamsters had me worried. For a while there, I thought I was going to have to do some actual work today.

Thank f* the Denver freak show is over.

Front page on kos by kos (bringing from the previous thread)

Let's be honest: John McCain clearly wanted Tom Ridge or Joe Lieberman, but he was afraid to buck his party's choice ideologues. So then they looked at Mittens, but having a baker's dozen homes wasn't looking so hot. So he figured that with Pawlenty, he might make a play for Minnesota, but that got shot down over the last week as it become increasingly obvious that Biden would wipe the floor with him in their debate.

Throw in Obama's ground-shifting speech last night, and it was clear that McCain had to throw a hail mary to just remain in the game, much less be competitive.

So we get Sarah Palin, who has a fairly compelling personal story and is an attractive woman, but has scant political experience, zero name recognition outside of political junky circles, faces an ethical investigation by her own legislature, and will now be forced to run a grueling national campaign despite having an infant child at home.

Those are the marks of desperation, and really, given his precarious electoral position, John McCain had no choice

I think deep down, they understand that this has and will continue to completely energize the conservatives. It will also make women take a second look at McCain. And obambi picked biden.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAA!

re: #3 MandyManners

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!

Woot!

To paraphrase WFB:

I'd rather be governed by the first 2000 names in the Ancorage phone book than by the dons of Harvard.

Woo Hoo!

Man, I hoped for Palin to get the nod but didn't figure McCain was that smart.

This lady is the full package: smart, charismatic and conservative.

And (he ventures sheepishly) she's easy on the eyes...

re: #21 Typicalwhitey

"Obama's ground-shifting speech?" Is he kidding? It was a standard middle-of-the-road speech, nothing new.

And I thought Charles just decided to sleep-in late today.

Fabulous fabulous fabulous fabulous fabulous.

And now McCain can say, "Sarah convinced me we ned to drill in ANWR."

Wooohooooooooooo! This energized me for sure! I am confident in victory now. Mr. Junior Senator from Illinois, please go away. McCain/Palin '08.

Thank you McCain for making a wise decision. Not just because you picked my horse but because you picked someone with integrity, conservative values and my oh my Ohio and Pennsylvania might be blushing red :)

Over in the Lizard Lounge, we were speculating about the condition of the hamsters...fainted? dead? Charles out trying to catch some replacements?

Glad things are better. Too many folks trying to check in about Palin, or some other problem?

Looks like a great choice to me, although some of the sinistral folks on one of the forums I hang out on are going bananas because Governor Palin is under investigation for abuse of power in firing a cop. One would assume that the McCain camp has looked into it to make sure the loose ends aren't too loose. Pretty irrelevant, but, gee whiz, she's cute! heh

Bad news for the DNC caterers . . .

Maybe it's time we upgraded to some of these

Ever thought of passing the hat to buy more hamsters? Or maybe one of these?

A Recap of Last night's closing. A true Chicagoan.

[Announcer:]
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the silver-tounged prince of the stadium, the one, the only Barack Obama!

Barack:
I don't care about expensive things
Cashmere coats, diamond rings
Don't mean a thing
All I care about is you
[Girls:]
That's what he's here for
[Billy:] That's what I'm here for
I don't care for wearin' silk cravats
Ruby studs, satin spats
Don't mean a thing
All I care about is you
[Girls:]
All he cares about is you
[Barack:]
Gimme two eyes of blue
Softly saying "I need you" [Girls:] (with Billy) I need you
Let me see her standin' there
And honest, Mister, I'm a millionaire

I don't care for any fine attire
Bill Gates might admire
No, no, not me
All I care about is you...
[Girls:]
All he cares about is you.
[Billy:] (whistles)
(girls hum..)

I am absolutely LOVING the Palin pick.

It also helps that she's smoking hot.
