Will anybody from this board be attending the Palin event? It looks like it's during the week again.

i will probably try to make it...what time?

[fsujax]

I am going to see Palin....even if I have to use annual leave. See you there! maybe we can draw 60,000....what a huge crowd.

10/7, Palin will be here. No time or event info yet.

i look forward to a similar thread on the Sarah Palin event in a few weeks.  i doubt that it will be so voraciously defended by the moderators though.

Here is an example of a McCain thread that Obama supporters did not feel the need to destroy: http://www.metrojacksonville.com/forum/index.php/topic,3195.0.html

Lunican,  that's hilarious    Thanks for the link to the pro McCain thread.  How sad that the republicans have nothing to talk about on their own, so they resort to bashing the other side.  The enthusiasm for their candidate coming to town was as exciting as my grandpa standing in front of a green screen.

speaking of that...

study shows Obama running more negative ads than McCain...

That's fine, Driven.  The ads are a bunch of lies on both sides, and I would hope people wouldn't decide who to vote for based on only them. 
Personally, I'm looking forward to this Friday's debate...unless of course we can postpone until next week.  McCain needs to stop whining.  Is this what he would do as president?  Postpone things so he can focus on one issue at a time?

yeah, you sound like someone who is open to hearing ideas from across the party aisle.

Considering that McCain offered 10 town hall style debates with Obama over this past summer and Obama ducked them, I hardly think McCain is afraid to debate.  Perhaps McCain is telling the truth - he really does want to get this credit crisis solved before moving on with the campaign.  There are some things more important than politics...

"I must tell you, there are those in the public debate who have said that we must act now. The last time I heard that, I was on a used-car lot," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Indiana. "The truth is, every time somebody tells you that you've got to do the deal right now, it usually means they're going to get the better part of the deal."

fine - if "they" the gov't gets the better part of the deal, send me a check on the growth.

[urbanlibertarian]

The better part of the deal is more power.
