goodDonkey,

Obama is a brave candidate he had an interview with Bill O'Reilly on the 5th of September.

I watched it...He did damn well. Thought I'd share my honest opinion with you on that.

Actually third party candidates have had a monumental impact on some elections

Agreed... I was with McCain until I heard of this guy.

I dare her to do an interview with Jim Lehrer who is the most neutral news person on the planet.

Obama is a brave candidate he had an interview with Bill O'Reilly on the 5th of September. McCain and Palin go for the fluff interviews.

I admire Stephanapoulos most. Obama accidentally said 'my Muslim faith' in an interview the other day and George quickly reminded him that he is in fact a Christian.

Of course the Washington Times was ALL over that

Obama... O'Reilly...

Beginin' today, I believe there's another couple of days worth of interviews ahead this week.

Of course, if you want to view everything that's asked, said and commented upon in context a number of youse will have to force your delicate psyches to turn on the FOX News channel.

I feels your pain.

Heh, heh...

If I had my druthers I would like to see each of them do an hour or more press conference by themselves. No introduction and they must find their own exit strategy. Those could be brutal.

Keith Olbermann has been removed by MSNBC as their primary interviewer for upcomin' American presidential debates.

Exxxxxxxxxxxcellent.

OfficialVersion, I'll vote for Obama, but thanx for your opinion. But I am waiting for Palin to be interviewed. I want to hear what she says without a handler giving her scripted remarks. < :-)
OfficialVersion at 11:14 PM JST - 8th September

adaydream; Palin will hold up well to any interview.She is an intelligent woman, who has bravely held true to her convictions.

Obama however is a lethal wound, destroying the Democrats, tearing out their heart and soul. They are finished you see.

Palin and McCain shall be victorious, and they deserve to as well.

OfficialVersion- great post buddy.

I am sure Palin will show her skills and charm, and more people will vote for the Republicans.

Obama and Palin, you are losing big time! Tee Hee!

Have a good day Official Version. We disagree. No surprise. < :-)

jerseyboy:

Makes you wonder why they have kept her under wraps since the convention?

Under wraps? She's been out on the campaign trail. You make it sound like she was on "vacation" (teleprompter rehab) in Hawaii or something.

And now they only agree to a tightly-controlled situation.

How long did it take Obama to appear on Fox? Obama's campaign even picked the night it would air (McCain's speech).

Bet she and the Republican brain-trust are very nervous.

Hardly. This is the woman who took on her own party in Alaska.

tkoind2:

He bulldog on the attack act at the convention sold well with the faithful GOP members but fell flat with the rest of the country.

The "faithful GOP' is exactly who McCain had to reach out to, after his support of amnesty for illegal aliens, among other things. And Palin's speech actually worked with moderates and independents: http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=36ee8fde-58bf-4027-a75b-b29d86b66b92

It just didn't work on leftists who thought they owned the female vote, and that all women want abortions.

Alaska represents the whole of America in the same way some remote part of Hokkaido represents the whole of Japan.

...or a certain "church" in Chicago or a pachinko parlor in Tokyo.

If you can believe that what Wright preaches is Christianity...

You should've watched her convention speech then. The teleprompter broke. You've seen what happens when the same happens to Obama, right?
adaydream at 05:44 AM JST - 9th September

I watched the convention.

I'm just waiting for questions and answers.

She may very well be the shining example of a well polished politician and silver throat.

I'm just waiting to hear her off the cuff.

I'm still not going to vote for McCain/Palin, but I enjoying hearing the points. < :-)

Of course, just as I never vote for Socialists, Communists, Marxists, or any other Leftists.

I will confess that I skipped Obama's speech. If you've heard one "chicken-in-every pot"/"hug-for-every-dictator-and-terrorist" speech, you've heard them all.
adaydream at 06:10 AM JST - 9th September

I watched both conventions.

I don't agree with everybody all the time, but I feel if I don't listen to as much as possible I'm cutting myself short on information.

Hell, I might have to listen to posters like yourself to give me your take. I like educating myself. < :-)

I skipped the GOP convention. If you've heard one "big-government, big spender, anti-health, anti-science, anti-poor, fundie-religious fascist" speech, you've heard them all.

Honestly, if someone could resurrect Hitler, those arsewipes would put him on the ticket and the whole party vote for him.
