Biden on Leno on McCain.

Joe Biden has finally hauled himself out of hibernation and made an appearance. On national television! Not bad, considering his rival Sarah Palin gets more media coverage than John McCain, mostly due to her unrelenting use of her own family for the republican campaign.

 

Senator Biden seemed relaxed and comfortable in the company of Jay Leno. When asked about his friend John McCain, he said that McCain doesn’t seem like himself at this stage of the campaign. ‘He seems a little more angry than he normally is’, Biden observed after Leno referred to the comical facial expressions during Thursday’s debate. Biden continued to say that he didn’t think McCain was comfortable with the negative turn taken in his campaign. Biden on Leno on McCain.

Do we dare to hope?

Barack Obama is leading in the polls. Almost all of them. In the latest one from Zogby and C-span he is leading McCain by 6 percent; Obama has 49 to McCain’s 43. But polls by voter groups shows that McCain is trailing Obama in almost all of them.

Obama has a 17 percent lead over McCain when it comes to non partisan voters and 11 percent amongst women. Obama is also winning the men over, but his lead here is not as great as the other voter categories. It doesn’t stop there. He is winning over Catholics and Hispanic voters, and he is ahead in all age groups. McCain only has the lead in two categories; white males and the rich voters. But as the financial crises continues the latter category in on the decline. Do we dare to hope?

John McCain told the audience at a rally in Lakeville, Minnesota, not to be afraid of Barack Obama, should he be elected as President. He hasted to add that he would make a much better one, but that Obama is a good man and should be respected. McCain is trying to lessen the aggressive tone his campaign has taken during the last couple of weeks.

 

McCain even interrupted a voter who took the mike at the rally, saying ‘I don’t trust Obama. I’ve read about him. He’s an Arab’. McCain was heard saying that Obama is indeed a nice, family guy, and a citizen with fundamentally different views. ‘Fundamentally’ is a great word to put in when stupid people think you’re talking about an Arab.

Biden’s disappointment.

Joe Biden used to have a good friend called John McCain. He doesn’t anymore. After the latest attacks from the McCain/Palin camp, Biden has had enough and is hitting back, saying he is immensely disappointed in his former pal. McCain was civil during Tuesday’s debate, but when speaking at a rally in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the tone was totally different.

As his campaign is trailing in the polls the Republicans have come up with a new strategy; to create uncertainty and worry as to what Obama will do if elected. ‘Who is senator Obama’ asked McCain. ‘What he says today and what he has done in the past are two completely different things’, he continued, before following up with ‘broken promises’ and that Obama cannot be trusted. The whole speech was peppered with words like ‘socialist’, ‘terrorist’ and ‘liar’. Biden’s disappointment.

Yesterday another presidential debate hit the US. This was highly anticipated to be a ‘streetfight’, but those who would have enjoyed that was left disappointed. It was again a quite civilized affair. Obama came out on top again, but mainly because McCain didn’t win it. He desperately needed to. Obama looks to the future while McCain visits the past.

The gloves are well and truly off!

When Sarah Palin quoted a newspaper story saying that Barack Obama is ‘palling around with terrorists’, this was a desperate and poorly researched attack on the campaign that races ahead in the polls. McCain and Palin seems to be losing, and they know it. To shift emphasis in the media from the economic crisis that keeps on battering the US they have started what seems like a smear campaign. Smear campaigns have worked well before in US politics, but people who live in glass houses….and so on. The gloves are well and truly off!

Why didn’t Barack Obama choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate? Was he perhaps concerned that he himself was enough of a controversy for the Democratic campaign? That running for the White House with a woman might not calm the God fearing Americans who wouldn’t dream of voting for a black man with a foreign-sounding name unless he had a middle-aged white man standing next to him? Or was he simply afraid that Hillary Clinton might outshine him? Ode to Hillary

Sarah Palin has accused Barack Obama of cavorting not just with terrorist, but home grown terrorists. They are worst of all, because it is implied that anyone could become one. Just like McCain has one foot in the grave, it feels as if Palin believes Obama is just one step removed from actually being a home grown terrorist. This is just the latest installment in the ongoing, “Who loves America most, and best” argument. And therefore should pass as soon as someone forgets to wear the flag at the right occasion or wear it for the wrong occasion. Palin supporters may not be able to read.
