So instead of doing what your conscience tells you is right, you'll opt to be
petty? Odd.

Quite the opposite, Al. It just shows me if Obama attracts that kind of person that my initial instincts about him were correct and I shouldn't support him.

No mention of the "crisis" Biden referred to?

I'm starting to lean away from McCain because of Palin, but all the hypocrisy on the part of some of the Obama supporters on this board may just push me back to McCain.

Scott, are you just kidding or being serious?

Oh, Scott, you crack me up. You're basing your vote on li'l ol' us? How... informed!
William - yeah, I started to write a witty zinger about how, in fact, she wasn't really using taxpayer money, since Alaska is a socailist welfare state, but I didn't want to open that can of snark. But since we already forced Scott to vote McCain, what the hell.
Alaska is a Socialist Welfare state.

Oh, so pretty much the same reasons you're leaning away from McCain then.

I think people are just pointing it out as an issue of do as I say not as I do, Scott. The one thing Palin has done to define herself is that she says she's a reformer and fights government largess. Then its revealed she charged the state $720 a night -- she couldn't have found a cheaper alternative?*
Of course Obama has not been perfect -- he made a calculated political decision to reject federal financing. Its paid off -- but it also showed him reneging on the agreement he had with John McCain. Thats one instance, no doubt there are others. But Obama's been in the national spotlight since January -- Palin since August so the media is playing catch up. Add to the catch up the dislike the media has for Palin and you get more of these stories. Of course Obama supporters will make hay with it, just as McCain supporters make hay with Biden's verbal diahrrea. These are tempests in teapots that get reported.
*I think an exception could be made if thats where all the guests of the conference stayed but even thats a little thin.

I'm being serious. I was firmly behind McCain until Palin. I think McCain would be a much better President but I think Palin would be worse (by a little) than Obama. So I'm on the fence right now. The hive mind of many Obama supporters has been one of the biggest turn offs of the campaign, and being on the fence, could definitely influence which way I vote. Just as all of the negative campaigning McCain did turned me off (and same with the negative ads from Obama) the hypocisy is doing it as well.

Nope. I'm leaning away from McCain purely because of Palin, not his supporters.

Having Biden as Vice-President perhaps.

I had to scratch my head over this one considering the post I made directly the one above what you quoted.
