We're past issues....

After almost two years of campaigning, and the last overfocused month during the economic crisis, we're past issues in this campaign.

We've reached a point where no one is listening to the candidates or the campaigns anymore. The media has moved on to process and horserace coverage. Opinions of the candidates and their character have been laid in, voters' decisions have been mostly made, and a minimum of 10% has voted already.

At this point, it's about not making any mistakes, and GOTV.

(How does McCain make substantial headway when his message is getting drowned out by "analysis," horserace coverage, and state/demographic voting/prediction stories? McCain's daily message is way down the media's priorities.)

  • Observations...

    By Sarah Palin's metric of "experience," John McCain is less qualified to be president of the US than is she.

    McCain and Obama have exactly these same experience with regard to being the president of the US.

    Sara Palin has never been the editor of the Harvard Crimson. But Barack Obama has never been the captain of a girls high school basketball team. So...

    Palin went to an impressive five colleges. Obama? Only two. Columbia and Harvard.

    Obama has a graduate degree. Palin graduated with a degree.

    Whatever tests the next president will face, it will not involve sitting in a 1962 jet, flying over Cuban air space, and waiting for orders from higher-ups as to how to proceed.

    Sarah Palin has an 18-year-old son and a 17- or 18-year-old future son-in-law. Both are high school drop outs. She also has a pregnant, unmarried daughter. I'm just sayin' is all.

    For the price of Sarah Palin's GOP trousseau, Obama could have his shoes resoled over 1,500 times.

    The press is more interested in Palin's power suits, than in her abuse of power.

    If Obama wins the election, the next president will be tested. If McCain wins, the next president will be testy.

    If Obama's tax cuts are "socialistic," what are McCain's health care tax credits?

    Todd Palin is creepy. I just wanna through that in there.

  • For the 150K they could have also run a week of ads in Colorado.

    And, I like the point that Palin is saying she's more qualified than McCain.
