Election Day Thread 2008

And, some live mic Obama (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1108/Newsweek_notes_Breaches_and_threats.html?showall):

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for them during the Democratic primaries, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

Hilarious quote right there.

I also heard her $150k shopping spree was "tens of thousands more (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5095495.ece)" than that initial figure, and there were rumors that she had campaign aids charge stuff for her on their credit cards.

If she's the future of that party... all I can say is wow.

I sure hope not. :doh:

I don't think she's the devil, but frankly she's got no business even thinking about running for president. Hopefully the GOP spends the time between now and 2010 making sure she doesn't run in 2012, and then 2010-2012 actually molding a competitive candidate.

It's cover your own ass time?

Yeah pretty much. Seperate yourself from this disaster so you can still find work on the next one.

Did you guys hear Palin thought Africa was a country? And that she didn't know what countries are in NAFTA? And that a McCain aid called her a hillbilly from Wasilla raiding Neiman Marcus from coast to coast? You can't make this stuff up. And this stuff is coming from her own campaign!

Her selection will go down as one of the historical political goofs.

No I missed that one. But I heard how our new president elect said that there were 57 states, and he still had a couple more to visit.

No, he didn't. He said he had visited 57 states, and that he had 3 left. There's a big difference between misstating something you know and making ignorant statements.

You mean he wasn't talking about visiting 57 Islamic states (http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_051208/content/01125122.guest.html)?

Palin defending herself. I'm inclined to agree with her...if you're gonna talk shit don't be a bitch, go on f'ing record.

This statement just proves ignorance is a dangerous, dangerous weapon.

I wonder when this thread is going to die? This election is over! Where's 70chip to hurry up and start the boobs and beer thread?

Well I sure hope Barrack Hussein Obama can right the ship. On another note....there have been some great jokes already!
