Non sequitur. It was a political rally and speech, not a funeral.

sorry, that must be a meaning of the word "anywhere" that I'm not familiar with.

[Denny Crane]

Non sequitur (<small>IPA</small>: /nɒnˈsɛkwɪtər/) is Latin for "it does not follow". It is most often used to indicate something which does not follow logically, such as a stated conclusion that is not supported by the facts. Non sequitur may refer to:

• Non sequitur (logic), a logical fallacy
• Non sequitur (humor), a comment that has no relation to the preceding comment or to an ongoing discussion or topic

It's all conservatives though. The same vote McCain already had.

Just like Obama's crowds. All liberals. He already had those.

Considering the polling is real close right now and McCain's bump lasted shorter than previous candidates who's conventions goes last, I'd say the honeymoon is over and the marriage has began.

Not to say the honeymoon wasn't effective though. I think it was. His base is fired up.

I just watched Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric. Unfortunately, I saw the SNL satire on it first, so I had no idea whether I was just watching another satire or whether it was real. Does anyone still think that she is a good choice? that she is intelligent? that she has any idea what she is talking about? It's clear that she has never thought about any of these issues, and she is just desperately trying to remember everything she has been told by her handlers . . . who, unfortunately, are people who have been in the Bush administration for most of the decade.

I haven't seen any evidence that she is good looking either. I'm not saying she's ugly, but just keeping it within politics, she doesn't have the beauty of someone like Chelsea Clinton, who is on a completely different level than Palin. She kind of looks like a pitbull with lipstick on.

You just called chelsea clinton pretty? SMH...............Lets keep it real, palin is wayyyyyy more hotter than michelle and chelsea combined, comin' from a black man NOT a republican.

It seems to take a lot to be handled and told what to say. Obama's clearly better at it.

well, he has thought about all these issues for the better part of three years--and he was introduced to them just in the normal course of being a senator. We all know how hard it is to cram and then be able to talk intelligently about something.

One difference, though, is that when you have the opportunity to think about issues for longer, you can accept and reject different positions as you gain understanding. My impression is that Palin is just memorizing what she is being told.

Interesting. My reaction to the first debate was that Obama looked like he was memorizing what he is being told.

(and that McCain was incredibly boring)

I think there is a difference than being told what to do. Obama is surrounded by well Obama people. I mean he's at the top of the ticket so his campaign is generally going the way he wants to go.

Palin is being told what to do by McCain's campaign and they're using her in the wrong way. The reason why Obama has caught on to so many people and younger people is he never really pretended to be the experience candidate. He was the confident candidate that will bring change. Whether or not you agree he will is not the point. That's what he's running on and it's got him this far.

McCain was running on experience as well as country first and he new it wasn't working. He takes Palin as his VP which goes against running on experience, but gets his base going. However, he's still running on experience only he's feeding people her experience. Experience she doesn't have.

Palin's strongest point is her ability to connect with voters, not that she can see Putin fly over her house. Yet McCain's people aren't letting her connect with voters. They aren't letting her talk about morals. They're feeding her talking points and I'm guessing pressuring her to repeat certain lines over and over. Such as we won't second guess Israel. Well why did she say that? Cause the Jewish vote is going to be a big vote to get this election. They're using her as a political tool instead of just letting her be herself.

Although conspiracy theorists will tell you that this is a all a ploy to get people to think Palin isn't up to the task only for her to come through and exceed expectations at the VP debate tomorrow.

Denny, do you believe that McCain's handlers don't tell him what to say?
