| The Palin Principle |
| 2008-10-03 |
| More than three weeks ago, Sen. John McCain chose Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska to be the first female vice president nominee for the Republican Party. Since Palin's first public appearance in Dayton, Ohio, when McCain announced Palin as his vice president, the media have since ridiculed Palin. Regardless of what many see in the tabloids with remarks like "lipstick on a pig," and the focus on her daughter's pregnancy, negative ads are starting to wear thin with some women. In a survey of more than 500 women by BettyConfidential.com, 65 percent of women said they have become more interested in the presidential campaign since Palin was added to the Republican ticket and a significant majority of woman admire her, despite political differences they may have. |

| #4 Everytime I heard Biden say Scranton I kept thinking of Dunder-Miflin as the American Street and middle America. I don't even think it's the same Scranton but the images are now entwined. |

| #3 Let me tell ya, a drink every time Joe Biden referred to himself as Joe Biden will getcha', especially when he repeated himself. Along the line whenever he referred to himself in the 3rd person I would ask, "Who is Joe Biden? This Guy!!! (give the Fonse two thumbs toward myself and say it in the famous beer commercial Wasabi! phonication). Looked almost as bad as Axelrod did (unless he always looks drunk and fumbles talks). |

| #1 From the article: If Palin is elected, she will break through the "glass ceiling" as the first female vice president. Interesting, one of the "drinking games" I heard or read today to have during the debate, was ???? a shot, a two gulp.... unimportant as to the imbibing quality, just that it was on the list. How disappointed those folks must now feel, they didn't get that shot... glass ceiling was never mentioned. |
