... like most of Western Europe you mean?

This really is last-ditch scaremongering. Obama is right of centre by any European standard.

That's what's funny about it all. They must imagine we're here in grey uniforms eating our state-supplied "United Kingdom of Britain" Corn Flakes or something...

Is McCain a poor choice because he's not presidential or because he chose a complete amateur for his running mate?

For me - it's a bit of both.

Quote:
Gov. Palin has shown the country why she has been so successful in her young political career. Passionate, charismatic and indefatigable, she draws huge crowds and sows excitement in her wake. She has made it clear she's a force to be reckoned with, and you can be sure politicians and political professionals across the country have taken note. Her future, in Alaska and on the national stage, seems certain to be played out in the limelight.
oh. god. please. no.

I don't know if I'd call what's being sown in her wake as "excitement".

Incitement
possibly - stirring up of racially based, negative stereotypes possibly,

Incoherent, rambling, inaccurate statements - definitely.

I mean - judging the reports from her campaign stops - could you really be in there and walk out feeling excited, lifted and positive about the future?
