i think that is a pretty ridiculous thing to say, i think that showing favor or disfavor to either side based on all the shit slinging that has been going on (from both sides) is a fight which can't be won. Maybe all of this nonsense will implode and turn out to be a good thing. maybe everyone will get so confused by all the hype that they will be forced to actually care about the issues at hand again.
its becoming a sad state of affairs... http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-campaign11-2008sep11,0,4703724.story http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100010
i think the whole thing is blown out of proportion
context is all important: here's full quote from the speech
“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics,” Mr. Obama told his supporters here. “That’s just calling the same thing something different. You can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it’s still going to stink after eight years.”
"If you ever get to the point where you believe the two parties are essentially the same, if the majority is outside of the establishment, it's not very democratic. The process is not working," Paul said.
From an article on CNN about Ron Paul urging people to vote for a third party.. I personally feel it's all a game and a mud slinging sham at this point. It's a he said she said debacle and media playground.. great for ratings but bad for democracy
Also I know how you respect Dr Laura.. I really liked this blog of hers about Palin.. It resonates with me on a very gut level (though im not too sure it's 100% founded or realistic): http://www.drlaurablog.com/2008/09/02/sarah-palin-and-motherhood/

I'm so glad you left that message about Sean Penn, cause I wrote this long rant on that same blog that I didn't want to see the movie first cause i didn't want to support/like any thing he's apart of, but I deleted it because I didn't want to take anything away from the movie. rad. I'm sure I just started an argument.
O'Brien is right. Obviously, completely taken out of context.
A sign of desperation in the Palin/McCain camp? Not much else to talk about in terms of issues, or concrete items to "change" in Washington? Perhaps an attempt to distract from Sarah Palin in anticipation of her performance with Charlie Gibson? Perhaps the world will never know...

'I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.'
- Sen. John McCain referring to Sen. Hillary Clinton, Oct 2007
