For the record, I do not support the Republican VP nominee, Sarah Pallin. From what I can tell, she pretty much stands against a lot of the things that I support. I respect her in that she has followed her dream and seems to be quite successful in the things she loves doing. I do not enjoy what I interpret as her passive aggressive stabs at the Democrats and specifically Obama. I wish she would just focus on why she thinks she rocks it out!
And, I wish the media would do the same in regards to her. First of all, you are supposed to be unbiased. I want to hear it all. The OBJECTIVE good and bad about all the candidates. All I hear about is Sarah Pallin lately. (I almost forgot who the Dem VP nom was) It's usually not good, whether it is issue related or trying to tarnish the 'popular' girl's image. This is going to allienate people. Sarah Pallin will soon become the Boston Red Sox or the Cubbies of the election. Root root root for the underdog.
To some degree we saw the same negative attacks on Hillary. I think those attacks were more personal than issue related. I did not support those attacks either, and I think they had a different impact for Hillary. She was never seen as an underdog, number one because she was a Clinton. Number two (which I believe is more telling of our sad state of affairs), sympathy did not run deep for her in the media nor among the undecided because she was not seen as an attractive soccer mom who made sure her husband and children were taken care of first and foremost. Now, I'm not placing value on how either one of these women have traversed the tight rope of life. More than likely, they have both made similar choices in response to juggling career and family. I will just say that those who are undecided may lean more toward Pallin based on an emotional response. Voting based on emotion? Now where have I heard that before?
I would really like her to start her interviews! I want to hear from her, not what the media thinks they know about her. Let's hear her plans, lets her stance's, lets hear her truths! She tells me she is against the Bridge to Nowhere. The media tells me "not at first". I want to hear more than a speech aimed to rile up the masses. I want to hear her discuss, in depth, from where she is coming and why.

Personally, I don't want to hear anything from her because we already know what would come out... Right wing garbage rationalizing the over turning of Roe V. Wade, small town gun toting bullshit, warmongering, and other abhorrent attitudes towards humanity as a whole. Time to draw some lines in the sand... That's my rant. Take CAre CoOkiE pUsS! -Bret-
Well, I don't really either. But, we KNOW her stands and her stupidity. I'm talking about those who don't pay attention to this stuff. People who will see her as a pretty, strong woman who is being unfairly attacked by the media. Believe me, I don't mind seeing it happen, but I don't want it to have an opposite impact with others. Let her talk, look like an idiot, and then hopefully she'll lose! But again, it must happen fairly. I've read that the first interview she did was severely edited and doesn't reflect her POV accurately. I haven't watched for myself and read the actual transcripts, so I can't be sure. But, that would suck cause I wouldn't want that done to Obaman.
I even asked my dad (cause he votes both ways)...please tell me you aren't swayed by her all American Cheerleader routine. He's not. Thank goodness.
Whoops..Obama:) Obama the Man...lol.
