The fact that you read this website places you outside of the group Palin is meant to target.

She will appeal to swing voters who don’t really pay attention to politics.

Of course, for every pro-choice voter there is a pro-lifer canceling them out.

I'm been a single mother, a working mom, blue collar to boot, for 24 years, and Palin is NOT a woman I identify with at all. Her values aren't my values. Being radically Anti-Choice for ALL Americans is completely opposite of how I raised my children.

You missed my point about identity politics.

It doesn’t matter what her positions are to the group of voters we are talking about. They wouldn’t know how to interpret the policies nor would they care. These people don’t pay attention to politics, but they vote in Presidential elections.

Barak will get basically the entire black vote due to identity politics. The African American community identifies with Obama. Guilt-ridden high income liberals will vote for Obama due to identity politics. They knew Hillary was the more experienced and ready, but they identified with the cause of electing a black candidate to help cleanse their ancestral shame.

Single mothers, working moms, blue collar men and a few other groups will identify with Palin – she is one of them.

I agree, it is not horribly different, and to McCain's detriment, he has not addressed it in an honorable way.

Thanks-

I apologize for confusing you with jwest. But now that I have you all worked up, answer the Jerome Corsi question I asked you.

Like it or not, the family stuff is part of politics. Its important to respect their privacy. But this could be the First Family and the nation can expect to have a window into it (as they do with the Obamas and Bidens).

I hadn't thought of that perspective, because I haven't thought of any logical reason she would have been selected.

I DID answer your 'questions' to me, by trying to tell you I MADE UP THE CRACK WHORE STUFF!

Why? I appreciate (now) you trouble understanding that. It was that big word 'hyperbole' again.

Jazz (and others) have been making a big deal that 'we have to investigate if Palin is really Trig's Grandma', because even though there are pictures of her being pregnant at the time, well, that wasn't good enough. Sliming her daughter seemed so much more fun.

Then, when it turns out that Bristol is currently pregnant, and has been for long enough to exclude her (yet again) as the the mother of Trig, then we get an unbelievable accusation that either the new pregnancy is faked, or as i said, the stuffed a new baby inside her to protect her Mom.

If the Left is willing to believe that BS, then why shouldn't I start my own set of completely facetious, implausible, and offensive rumors? I have been waiting for Jazz or one of the other illuminated lights that do the front page postings to run with it. After all, my rumor is as equally soured, and relevant, as all this crap and Palin, Trig and Bristol has been.

If you STILL can't understand what is going on, then there is nothing more I can do to help you overcome your comprehension shortcomings.

I appreciate the thought. But don't bend over backwards on my account. Use as many complicated words you want. I'm pretty sure I can keep up. In fact, I'm so sure that I find your implication laughable (especially about the lobotomy thing — if you only knew). But that's neither here nor there. The fact is, your attack on me is nothing more than an ad hominem one. And frankly, I doubt you are capable of much more. At least you have never exhibited such. You never even answered your own questions!

So, I will rather respond to jwest, who at least has responded in detail, although he has changed the questions. What a surprise. Anyway…

• If you’re a working woman – Palin

What legislation can Palin point to in that regard? More importantly perhaps, what legislation can McCain point to which he has supported in that regard?

• If you’re a single mom – Palin’s daughter

Ditto.

• If you’re a blue collar working guy – Palin’s husband

Now that's downright funny.

• If you’re a real American family – The Palin family

And somehow neither the Obama family or the Biden family is. Good luck selling that. Especially now.

• If you don’t hang out with terrorists – Anyone but Obama.

Beware of McCain's lobbyist connections.

• If you want more drilling – Palin

More to the point, if you want ONLY more drilling – Palin. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out.

• If your church doesn’t preach “God Damn America – Palin

Hmmm… I suspect her connections may complicate this meme as well.

• If you like winning wars as opposed to surrendering/cutting/running – McCain

If you want a coherent foreign policy — Obama/Biden. If you want an incoherent foreign policy (or one that doesn't have a clue) — McCain/Palin.

So… do I get to offer my own points now?

And I'm an 'agent'? Cool!

I actually think both of them will have to get up to speed if/when they take the reins as POTUS, but with Obama, if he's elected he will have to step into that immediately. Odds certainly aren't on McCain keeling over on Inauguration Day.

You really ought to drop the line of commentary about them being unable to control their daughter. I don't know how serious you are about it, but it has nothing to do with her qualifications for VP or lack of same. And this comes from someone who thinks she is completely lacking in qualifications and really doesn't care for her ideology.
