Political Punch

"Media isn't everything. We're in the tech age where blogs and emails rule!
Obama/Biden 08! Posted by: Common Sense Sep 15, 2008 12:58:30 AM"

The internet, blogs and email are just another form of media, aren't they? How well did Obama's text revelation work? Text, another form of media.
The word media is derived from the word medium. It's plural definition of media is a channel or system of conveyance. Newspapers, television, the internet and cell phones all fall into that category.

In my opinion Obama is Palin in comparison.

Who the heck is Joe Biden anyway? and why should we pay attention to what he says?

All I hear is that he likes to take the train. Not sure what that means, but it is nice he is trying to conserve energy, I guess.

I wish Obama had chosen someone who was born after the 1950's, and not before.

The question is not whether Biden will give up the VP slot but whether Senator Clinton would be stupid enough to accept it.

We've said it before. Good
judgment also means having
the gumption to quickly
rectify a bad one and look
forward.

Biden should be persuaded
to step down voluntarily
to save the party from
defeat.

It just can't get any better than this!
Biden is wandering the country like the Flying Dutchman uttering gaffes & bloopers while Obama is bragging about his negative commercials. I can't wait for the clown car.

The only way they could possibly pull off replacing Biden is for him to take a fall for the campaign by "accidentally" making an outrageous statement that could only be rectified to the American people by his stepping down.

Or he could have another aneurysm scare *wink*wink.

The one thing that absolutely cannot happen is for Obama to admit he made a mistake due to the old bad judgment thing.

Hey, Joe made the news today! You can't make this stuff up.

BO is still defending his
veep pick. Biden is a
non-performer in helping
the ticket win - whatever
else he may be.

A course correction is
necessary to put this
campaign back on the
path to victory.

The correction begins
with Biden being asked
to step down.

Without the grit to
correct this fatal error,
the campaign may well be
headed for a defeat.

Both Obama and Biden laid low over he weekend because of Ike. Their joint appearance was cancelled in New Hampshire and Obama didn't appear on SNL. Being a resident of Texas, I respect the choice of putting lives lost and affected over political publicity. Palin may have garnered the media attention in Alaska, but a lot of it was the press doing the vetting the McCain campaign should have done.

spacerook1,

Republican positions are being misrepresented and distorted by Democrats and liberal media all the time. Just Sunday, Karl Rove clearly emphasized in an interview that both sides we're taking liberty with the facts, but Dems (in an ad), and, just for one example, CNN (which posted a story headlined "Rove: McCain went 'too far' in ads") took out of context remarks he made about McCain (I read the transcript). The very first thing Rove said on the subject was: “ROVE: Well, first of all, I do think that the lipstick remark was an inappropriate — and maybe it was unconscious, but it was a deliberate slap at Gov. Palin.” Rove said afterward about the Obama ad, which suggested Rove only questioned McCain’s honesty, “Of course, they fail to say anything about the fact I said they were even more misleading.” The CNN story failed to mention seeking Rove for comment, or to use any specific quotes of Rove criticizing Democrats, and it also paints a false picture of the interview so you come away thinking that Rove especially singled out McCain for criticism and criticized both campaigns only secondarily. In reading the transcript, you see it’s the other way around. And that’s from the “objective news.” And talk about a dishonest ad, then, which happens to be about honesty. The idea that Obama’s campaign is ahead of McCain’s in ethics is obviously untrue.

And btw, there are apparently two “Erikas” posting here now - I’ve posted all the comments except for “Democrats in Alaska!”

I was pretty dismayed at the start of the election season, i thought Barack Obama had a lock on the election. Then he goes and picks Joe Biden. Now I'm as happy as a pig in mud. Everytime that Senate seat-warmer opens his mouth, McCain goes up in the polls. In the words of a couple of now-famous democrats, There really is a God.
I'll be very surprised if Joe doesnt withdraw before the election - to spend more time with his family, doncha know.
Hey - dl the real one - ANYBODY is more qualified for office than the rabble rouser Obamacus. Matter of fact, if he droppped Slo-Joe and selected Fey, I might consider voting for him... NOT!

The cable news channels, meanwhile, have treated audiences to an interminable bluster-fest from Biden, painting himself as the hero of hahaha "Main Street" -- wherever THAT is -- over Wall Street (the Obama campaign's MAIN contributors).

Sarah Palin's the only one of the candidate quartet, meanwhile, who has even a CLUE about "Main Street".

"Funny how the BO supporters hated Hillary in the primaries, loved her at the Democratic convention, hated her for not attacking Palin, now there are rumbles about her saving BO again."

The Obama campaign doesn't hate CLINTON -- it seems to be women in general.

That Biden (whose family was purged of its females just as he came to power in DC, with the wife/mother soon replaced by a daughter/wife figure) is perpetual-adolescent Obama's ideal father figure is perfectly scary.

Or is Democratic saboteur John Kerry, who's thrown every election since 2000, responsible for putting Biden on the ticket?

If or when Barrack Obama replaces Senator Joe Biden for a woman in an attempt to retake the spotlight or an imagined slight to regain momentum, Barrack's campaign is finished.

The press should be asking about Barrack Obama's judgment of character. It might open the floodgates with Barrack's reticent about his dubious associations with Reverend Wright, terrorist William Ayers, & his past as a community organizer with ACORN.

With Senator Joe Biden as Vice Presidential candidate, Barrack Obama assumes he has already won the election; the election is a formality (he has been calling himself President in many Freudian slips on the campaign trail & acting as Commander-in-Chief this Summer). However, Barrack Obama just believed his own hype with little substance to back himself up beyond empty slogans of "hope" & "change." Barrack Obama's campaign is all smoke & mirrors--an illusion. If the truth were exposed, he would not have made it beyond the primaries. Obama is hiding so much that the careful masque he created is beginning to crack; he cannot keep this deception going indefinitely.

Where does Barrack Obama stand on the issues? Thus far, he has flipped on virtually everything he stood for in the primaries. Where does that leave the Barrack Obama-Joe Biden campaign? Nowhere, but treading water in the shark infested waters.

Barrack Obama's campaign continues to implode since nothing of substance can sustain it.

Meanwhile as the panic is rising on the left there is more talk of Biden being replaced by Hillary.

Funny how the BO supporters hated Hillary in the primaries, loved her at the Democratic convention, hated her for not attacking Palin, now there are rumbles about her saving BO again.

They are turning on BO for being so wimpy, Biden for his loose lips.

They'd turn on their mother to beat out the Republicans.

"On Saturday, only four reporters were around to cover any Biden action. Not that there was any."

The idea of the Obama/Biden duo reigning while The Depression REALLY gets rolling is too grim to think about.

That the hijacked "new politics" Democrats allowed the party to be saddled with Biden is a pretty good indication that they're not able to "change" ... ANYthing.

It's great that you are not there to cover it jake. Biden is doing a fantastic job connecting with voters. So you should focus on ms. palin and all her issues/lies/controversies. We dems would love that.

Carrie,

The networks are not pro Obama. What we are seeing is that they are finally doing their job, and, in this case, are calling McCain on his lies.

He has sunk to such a new low that the networks can no longer brush it aside as politics as usual.

When even Karl Rove, the dirtiest of them all, says that McCain's ads are lies, as he did yesterday, that's saying something.

Regardless of the media coverage Biden is getting, he's still being heard.

The most recent polls show Palin dropping behind Biden in favorable ratings:

SEPT. 14:
CANDIDATE FAV UNFAV NO OPINION
MCCAIN 53 44 3
OBAMA 54 39 7
BIDEN 49 33 18
PALIN 47 42 11

Seems like I see a lot of criticism of Fox News, Hannity, conservative talk radio here. That's funny, because I've tuned into Fox more in this election that I ever have before. I used to watch Fox just to get a laugh. Now I have newfound respect for them. I get so sick of the pro-Obama bias on the so-called mainstream networks that I can't stomach it sometimes. Before this election, I never understood what Republicans meant when they talked about bias in the media. I just didn't see it. Now I do. Many in the MSM are using their position to shape the news, not report it. They are activly trying to promote the candidacy of Barack Obama by treating him with kid gloves and trashing anyone who's up against him. I can't even stand to watch anymore.
