That’s a pretty outrageous claim when you consider that the most absent member of the United States Senate is… John McCain. Obama has missed fewer than half of this year’s Senate votes (compared to McCain’s 63.8%), which makes Graham’s claim that Obama has “been gone more than he’s been here,” well, false.
If John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate was designed to win over still-bitter Hillary supporters, then they’re off to a rough start:
Palin was lauded for speaking of Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro in her speech Friday in Dayton, acknowledging the role their candidacies had played for other women, including herself. It was seen as a smart political gesture toward winning over some of the Clinton supporters who feel disenfranchised and may not vote for Obama in November.
She gave essentially the same speech today at a minor league baseball stadium outside of Pittsburgh. But when she said Saturday that Clinton “showed determination and grace in her own campaign,” there were an audible boos smattered amid the cheers. Palin ignored the boos and continued on with her speech.
A Gulfstream IV from Anchorage, Alaska, flew into Middletown Regional Airport in Butler County near Cincinnati about 10:15 p.m. Thursday, said Rich Bevis, airport manager.
Sounds to some people like McCain is making a play for the sixty-or-so PUMA idiots that are still running around because, when push comes to shove, they really don’t care what Hillary Clinton actually has to say. Of course, Palin is so anti-choice that intelligent people won’t have any trouble figuring out that she’s actually the exact opposite of Hillary.
Update: On the other hand, ABC definitively says it’s not Palin. Someone’s going to have egg on their face tonight.
In case you missed it, she really knocked it out of the park at the DNC last night, including with a giant smack-down for the PUMA idiots who like to go on about how the uppity presumptuous Obama hasn’t grovelled enough to earn their vote.
With the selection of Joe Biden has Obama’s running mate confirmed, I’m begging John McCain to pick Rudy Giuliani as his running mate. Why? Because the Vice Presidential Debate is at my school in October and I would love to see and hour of this:
The pick is probably gonna be Biden according to the media, who I rate as the person most likely of all the VP possibles to call Mitt Romney an asshole. Others are hoping for a casual “m____ f_____.” Either way, I call that a win.
