Ummm... anyone that is still supporting McCain at this point is really just supporting the guy that has the best chance of winning and isn't Obama. Anything that is going to come out that may cause people to question whether Palin is right for the job or not was out there the week the nation found out she was McCain's pick. When you have the crowds they are drawing yelling racist stuff at the one black camera man from the news networks, it kind of tells you why they are still behind McCain.

Regardless, it seems Obama is significantly ahead in the polls. McCain better have a rabbit in his hat if wants to win this one.

Elections are openly rigged to both Republicans and Democrats. There are different requirements for Third Party candidates to get onto the ballot. Sure you can talk about E-voting and all that, but elections being rigged to both large parties is really out in the open for everyone to see.

Scandals didn't hurt Bush or Cheney and I really doubt its going to hurt Palin...


Democrats are too big of pussies to jump on something like this

I agree that Obama is probably going to win, but that report will have nothing to do with it. However truthful or accurate it might be, it's a non-issue.

Isn't it funny how any political scandal nowadays has the suffix "gate" added to it? I guess that's Richard Nixon's legacy...

Yeah pretty much.
The spread since the beginning of this month has become overwhelming. With 3 weeks to go it's pretty much over.
Virginia quite likely going for Obama pretty much clinches it.
It seems unlikely that Republicans could recover in Ohio, Virginia and Florida AND in Colorado and Nevada.

Even though Mc Cain/Palin is a piece of shit choice, it's absolutely pathetic how people lose elections over how the media decide to report on them.

And whilst I'm at it, it's lulzy how topics like abortion are seen as really important when your electoral system is on par with Russia's.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I would go so far as to say that if free and fair elections were held, the system of proportional representation in the Russian Durma would be a considerably better system then then that used in the US house/senate.
