Sarah Palin's Pastor Problem

[MrFun]

I spent time with family last night as part of wanting to see them before I move away. We had an intense and interesting conversation on the election and politics after our dinner.

My family is white, Catholic background, and most of them live in rural Midwest (small town or on a farm). What I found interesting was that some of them sound like they're willing to vote for Obama. So much for the over generalization that all white Democrats in rural areas are so racist that they will never, ever vote for Obama.

MrFun's family is the barometer for America.

Except Obama actually has experience, as well as charisma and sound judgement, while Palin lacks all three.

While I have to agree on the sound judgement and the chrarisma parts... please list again all the experience that Obama has to be a chief executive of anything

Selecting Biden isn't proof of sound judgement.

heh, no argument there

Judgment, people. The word is spelled judgment.

Both spellings are acceptable.

In Great Britain and many of its former colonies, “judgement” is still the correct spelling; but ever since Noah Webster decreed the first E superfluous, Americans have omitted it. Many of Webster’s crotchets have faded away (each year fewer people use the spelling “theater,” for instance); but even the producers of Terminator 2: Judgment Day chose the traditional American spelling. If you write “judgement” you should also write “colour.”

All the people spelling it judgement are Americans. You think they're doing because they want to sound British or because they don't know the ****ing difference?

please list again all the experience that McCain has to be a chief executive of anything, or isn't McCain the top of the ticket? Didn't Fiorina state that neither McCain nor Palin had the experience to run a large corporation? Though of course, clearly neither did Fiorina, seeing how she screwed up with HP.

If having "executive experience" is a be all end all of being president, why did Republicans chose (only) Sen. McCain when they had two governors and the mayor of the largest city in America to chose from?

Because they agree that it logically makes more sense, perhaps.

At least they didn't select a junior senator with almost no experience to head up their ticket

You really give them that much credit? You think they sat down and thought about which spelling was correct?

[Asher]

I do it all the time. Everyone else should, too.

I'll admit I typed it wrong. Geez.
