It’s a slow week for politics – Open Thread
Posted by MJ on September 2, 2008
Beyond the Sarah Palin continuing media frenzy in which I posted about her four times, it looks like will be a slow week for news from the Presidential campaigns.
Ok, I have been told the Republican National Convention is going on this week in the twin cities. The first day never really happened because of Hurricane Gustav but check out this photo of Cindy McCain who made an appearance with Laura Bush…
What’s with the big bird outfit and the hideous make up job? Something about this woman has always scared me. Seriously, I doubt will watch much of the GOP convention myself since they will no doubt be spewing the same rhetoric of the last eight years so won’t be missing anything. I may watch the mid-day nobody speakers since they are most likely to have lose lips since only C-Span with be showing them. I like to see some good old fashion stare tactics even if based on nothing - Obama will surrender to the terrorists, Obama will tax you to death, and maybe even a reference to Obama being a Muslim. That may be entertaining…
What I really like to do with this post is open the floor to general political discussion. All discussion on this blog is usually tied to the topic at hand I am writing about but let’s travel off the beaten path. Any reasonable intelligent topics of political debate any of my readers would like to discuss is fair game. Let’s see where this goes so comment away…

UPDATED 9/03 – Come on readers! I know there are people out there who want to discuss some political issues that are important to them. Please, just no Sarah Palin talk…

We got to see a snapshot of McCain’s “vetting process” at the introduction event in Dayton: “Woman: check!”

I wonder myself if McCain was part of the loop in vetting Sarah Palin or if it was really his choice.
