Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

[rjs246]

No. It does not seem fair. But a tree could be moderating this debate and Palin is still likely to make a fool of herself.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's just the point.  If Biden has the advantage already, it seems even more ridiculous that the moderator is publishing her pro-Obama book the same week of the debate.

[rjs246]

Of course its ridiculous and seemingly unfair but I'm enjoying it so I don't care.

[Father Demon]

I read that.  I also liked how the article states:

But she also was cited in complaints PBS Ombudsman Michael Getler said he received after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin delivered her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., earlier this month.

Some viewers complained of a "dismissive" look by Ifill during her report on Palin's speech. According to Getler, some also said she wore a look of "disgust" while reporting on the Republican candidate.

I don't get it.

Either way, America is watching for Palin to farg up just as she has the past two weeks.  But, assume (and it's probably a stretch), that she does OK with no major gaffes.  Will she be viewed as the "winner" purely because she didn't some across as a retard?  Are the expectations for her so low, that even an average or almost average performance will be enough?

BTW, I'm getting to Wash U early so I can touch her boobies.  I don't think it's a federal offense until she's elected.  Especially if she likes it.

[ice grillin you]

gwen ifil is beyond reproach...as unbiased as they come....and its not like the mccain people havent known who was moderating for quite some time now...if there are any complaints and i havent heard any other than from the disgusting WND site that you got this from then its just a way to have a built in excuse if palin is as bad as we all expect her to be

WASHINGTON - Recently trailing or tied, Democrat Barack Obama now leads Republican John McCain in a trio of the most critical, vote-rich states five weeks before the election, according to presidential poll results released Wednesday.

The Democrat's support jumped to 50 percent or above in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania in Quinnipiac University surveys taken during the weekend — after the opening presidential debate and during Monday's dramatic stock market plunge as the House rejected a $700 billion financial bailout plan.

Combined, these states offer 68 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory on Election Day, Nov. 4.

Pollsters attributed Obama's improved standing to the public's general approval of his debate performance, antipathy toward GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and heightened confidence in the Illinois senator's ability to handle the economic crisis.

The fresh polling is the latest troublesome turn for McCain, the Arizona senator who is trying to regain control of the campaign conversation amid increasingly difficult circumstances for Republicans. It comes on the eve of a debate between Palin and her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, and as the financial crisis shapes the presidential race in unpredictable ways.

For now and probably for the next month, the race will be entirely about who can best handle an economy in peril.

The war in Iraq, national security and foreign policy issues — McCain's strengths — have largely fallen by the wayside as each campaign tries to chart a course to the presidency in extraordinarily choppy economic waters.

The new surveys show Obama leading McCain in Florida 51 percent to 43 percent, in Ohio 50 percent to 42 percent and in Pennsylvania 54 percent to 39 percent.

Since 1960, no president has been elected without winning two of those three states.

The results are notable because they show Obama in a strong position in the pair of states that put Bush in the White House in 2000 and kept him there four years later — Florida and Ohio, with 27 and 20 electoral votes, respectively.

Obama has been struggling to break into a comfortable lead in both states; for weeks he had been mostly about even with McCain in Ohio while lagging for months in Florida, even after being the only candidate on the air and spending some $8 million on advertising.

Pennsylvania, with 21 electoral votes, is a different story.

Obama is trying to hang onto the state Democrat John Kerry won four years ago, though McCain has mounted a stiff challenge as he seeks to benefit from his rival's trouble with working-class voters who question his liberal voting record and, perhaps, his race.

The telephone polls, which were taken before and after last week's McCain-Obama debate, have margins of error ranging from plus or minus 2.8 percentage points to plus or minus 3.4 points.

The poll of polls for PA has him ahead by an average of 10%. No poll of polls information for the other two states.

EDIT: Nice work Seabiscuit. Jerk.

[Father Demon]

This is going to be a blow out.  It will be just like the first couple of seasons of 24.

[Phanatic]

One gaff and it could swing any which way.

[rjs246]

The Biden handlers have got to be sweating bullets right now. All they want is for him to answer questions quickly with a smile on his face. Steady. Steady. Stay on target.
