[...] The O-Bomb about Palin and the Pig may have been in response to nervous Democrat Leaders demanding Obama take the gloves off against Palin: Since Palin made her national political debut last week, Obamaâ€™s campaign and other Democrats have been slow to criticize Palin, preferring to let mainstream news outlets and liberal blogs raise questions about her record.Â [...]

There was a hint of a ‘Deliverance Theme’ in the ManPig’s joke, eh.

If you see a headline, and hear a video and ‘get it’ you know it was premeditated. Was this a joke told around the campaign strategy sofa while Governor Palin was making her speech? Is this dope dumb enough to voice a Bidenism?

I don’t know what ‘The One’ was doing.

I do know I don’t want him making any decisions for me.

People want change in Washington, I want change in Washington, but not the kind of change MSM and the left is spreading and peddling. Just maybe it’s not really Bush, but the lack of fight shown by republicans for Bush, and the money spent by those who are supposed to protect us and our interests. Just a thought as to why Palin has made such a hit, because she is a fighter, a slasher of government programs. I think that the republican legislators blackmailed Bush. If Bush wanted to win the war, he would have to give into pork. Americans intuitively understand spinelessness.

Obama isn’t so stupid as to not understand why the crowd rose and appaulded when he uttered the “lipstick on a pig” line. It really wasn’t that great, especially if you assume it not to be an insult. If he had been smart, he would have put an end to it right there. At least with one of those “no no no no” lines that he does so well, but instead he just went on.

It was rude, lewd and totally unprofessional … and it is indefenseable.

[...] of the reasons I think Obama and the Dems went with the completely orchestrated pig-comment against Paln is they see something happening that has the totally spooked. I don’t have time [...]

They’re already running an ad in Michigan using Obama’s pig statement, as usual the ad stay classy. There is another one where they tag Obama and all of his Senate buddies with not lifting the drilling bans and how it is costing jobs and not allowing any sort of economic recovery. I think this ad help drived Michigan into play, along with the disarray in Detroit; the current Mayor finally quit, the new one has not taken over yet and the vote creating machine called Detroit is in the state of flux with a certainty that some parts of the machine will get broomed out to allow some patronage.

I, and many, many others, thoroughly enjoyed Obama’s pig comment! It’s the truth . . . this Republican team says they want change in Washington, but their proposed policies and those of our failed Bush regime are one and the same! And, this comment/analogy has been around for years . . . just as hers at the convention has . . . let’s try to concentrate on what’s important folks!!

Don’t get overconfident.

We’ve pulled even in the polls, and the electoral college math is starting to make sense for us, but there are 60 days left. 60 days is a lifetime in electoral politics.

It could all still vanish if Sarah Palin doesn’t do a great interview with Charlie Gibson. And it could all easily vanish if Obama makes McCain look old and tired in the debates. And most of all, economic and world events that are in the news (and who controls that?) will shape which issues voters are most concerned about when they enter the voting booth.

Don’t get overconfident.

Things look good now — better than I would have imagined possible all summer — but we’re just at the very beginning of the national campaign.

And there was CNN trying to cover for Obama and prattling on about how Palin did not really kill the bridge. It is called media bias folks and it is alive and well.

But I know what I saw, and so did Obama’s audience. Tacky tacky tacky.

Toes, what McCain should do tomorrow in Fairfax county is have Palin (or his wife, either way works) in bright red lipstick plant a big old smooch on his cheek and give his speech with that lip print on there like a badge of honor.

Crosspatch…. Just noticed your lipstick comment… I got a tire gauge for a McCain donation… Says “Obama Energy Plan” on it…

but… I do not think we should let the Senator off the hook with this one… Senator Obama just handed us a gift… Keep it serious and hammer him with it…
