Update: McCain Selects Gov. Sarah Palin as Running Mate

But doesn't seem like as the election has proceeded, both candidates have shifted toward the right of their originally stated positions? Implying that the far right is more influential.

He may not be evil but he sure is stupid though not stupid enough not get elected as president twice.

The term "Elected" should be used loosely, at least in 2000.

Complaining about the results of the 2000 election has to be the politics equivlent of lambasting the officials for correctly ruling a poorly worded rule in football. It's so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but people just harp on it incessantly.

And this is coming from someone who thinks Gore-Lieberman was the strongest ticket for the Democrats in the last 30 years.

Sorry but the corruption of that election is still sickening and I don't think it should be forgotten anytime soon.

I think that Gore had plenty of other opportunities before Florida to win, but he ran an awful campaign (like Rudy G. this year) costing him a few easy states here and there.

Also, the Democrats were so gung-ho that they were ripped off and would easily win in 2004, but that was far from what happened.

In fact, I believe that a major reason for them losing in 2004 was that they seemed to run on a "we wuz robbed" platform and it turned plenty of people off.

I agree and those counting of votes by hanging chads was just one way Gore looked to win and trying to discount the military over seas votes. Yes we will not forget. I'll say it now. If Obama wins its a valid election but if McCain wins we will here about all these issues and the stealing of the election. We just witnessed this in the last election but after the Dems took control of congress all of it faded away over night.

OK, back to topic (sort of). Did anyone hear this "voicemail" left by McCain for Palin? Whichever side of the aisle you are on, this is good stuff:

After I saw that site and all its bashing of Sarah Palin I thought maybe a fact check on this stuff going around on the net.

Well, in Sandra's defense, she's only a Senator of Arkansas - how is she going to affect drastic change in Alaska?

There's a lot of ignorance and misinformation about all the candidates. We're all guilty of it to some extent. It's been that way for decades. That said...a little levity and humor never hurts. In the words of 70Chip..."all work and no play makes me...Al Gore" or something like that.

That Palin voicemail was hilarious, no matter what side of the fence you're on. Sure, there's a danger that some people will actually take this as fact. One the other hand, satire is one of the great things about this country. I don't think you can do that with political leaders in a lot of places.
