Year of the Woman! on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

Hillary has a substantive record as a Senator and competed in almost 20 debates, so she is more than a vagina. Palin is, by your own desciption, unable to answer even basic questions. Given that she is unable to answer questions I have to assume that the only reason she was chosen is because she has a vagina.

There were many qualified women who McCain could have chosen, Olympia Snow, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Condoleeza Rice...I would never use the term "vagina" when discussing them.

As for the lipstick on a pig comment, McCain has used that comment dozens of times, is he sexist? McCain also admitted in an interview that he didn't think that Obama was talking about Palin when he made that comment.

Good for her Leslie. Too bad she's not on your ticket, eh? And I find your loose vernacular of the term "vagina" offensive. I hope no one ever describes you or your daughter that way, given the fact that you are not a Governor of a state or even close. And I'm sorry that McCains choice of a vagina wasn't good enough for you. Fortunately, it wasn't your decision.

I can understand you having problems with my verbage but my point remains the same.

Why won't she answer questions? What is she afraid of? Is she so clueless that she can't handle a press conference? How is she going to handle being Vice-President?

Who cares if I am not a "Governor of a state or even close". Does my opinion not matter then? Then I guess yours doesn't either.

I've heard her talk plenty to know that this is one sharp gal and she can pick up anything at the drop of a hat. That is why all the Dems are running scared and Biden is considering relinquishing his VP slot by way of a "health issue" so they can replace him with Hillary.

Just wait until the debates. She will KNOCK his socks off, no doubt!

Yeah, I can see why the dems are shaking. They are only ahead by 9 points in the polls.

You have heard her give the same speech over and over and over. I would love to see her answer some questions that are unplanned. If she is so smart why don't they let her talk to the media?

Where are the reports of Biden stepping down? I have looked on drudge, huffington, msn, abc, and nbc and found nothing. I did find this on the Washington Post site:

(For the record, The Fix is well aware of the rampant blogosphere rumor that Biden is planning to step aside as vice president early next month to make room for Hillary Rodham Clinton. That will happen, to quote Montgomery Burns, "when pigs fly.")

There's half-a-dozen major poll-taking firms, and not all of 'em have Obama in the lead. Yet when all the main ones are averaged together ... he is currently ahead with women, whereas McCain has the lead with men.

This will be a very interesting election!

Everything but Fox. It's no wonder you make referrence to polls that show Obama with a nine-point lead!

That list of resources has nothing to do with the quote about the polls. That list pertained to the rumor concerning Biden stepping aside.

The polls will probably change several times between now and the election. The only poll that counts is the poll of the members of the Electoral College.

No problem with Ms. Palin being a governor. There are any number of good governors, some excellent ones, then there is the Democrat from Illinois. Being a governor does not really tell a whole lot about a person's ability to lead or avoid scandal.

Firstly, Who is SURE that Hil has a vagina?

Secondly: I have not nor has ANYONE I KNOW been polled. If they ever get around to asking ALL VOTERS ( which they won't) The polls will change dramatically!

I don't mind people giving Gov. Palin credit where they can find it warranted. It does bother me that they continue to misspell her name. It is Gov. Sarah Palin.

Hey wait a minute! I thought I was the spelling cop?

Not tonight, I guess.

Obama is up in the national polls, no debating that. Interestingly though, when you look at the electoral college map, it's still anybody's race. No need to remind anyone that the popular vote decides nothing. Obama appears to be gaining in states that were already his. This thing is far from over.

Have to agree. It is very far from over!

I predict that as a result of Obama's inexperience, and his seemingly endless relationships with less than savory characters, there is going to be a very big October or early November surprise! You read it here first!
