Are you bothering to even acknowledge what's being said to you or are you just running through your Mach talking points?

Do you want to wager on your poll prediction?

I'm just having some fun. How have you've been?

I bet Obama is up by 5 next Friday with the Daily Gallup poll.

I know.

Not bad. Work is crazy.

How's your football team looking this year?

you say tie.so.... 2.5 and under goes to you 2.5 or higher goes to me.

I had to give it up. It was pretty emotional decision but the community has been outstanding.

Need at least to wait til the next Wednesday to get an accurate read on the post convention bump.

Sorry to hear that man, but i'm glad you're getting the support.

Statistical tie, meaning within the margin of error. That's usually between 3 and 4%.

I made 1500 last week off of bac. Bought 500 shares on Tues at 28. somethin and sold Thur at 31.25 They are an automatic 4 times a year at a 64 cent dividend play. Thought about you when I sold. Cha Ching!!!!!

Look at you backing off

1) It takes away McCain's best argument of experience.

No it doesn't, Obama is still at the top of the ticket. It can easily be argued she has more experience than Obama.

I'm betting this.

If the big issue in this campaign turns out to be whether Palin or Obama has more experience, that's not a good thing for Obama. If that issue stays in front of the people, winning it or losing it is not good for Obama.

Supposedly he has met her one time. If you followed this at all McCain wanted Lieberman. He floated it for weeks. So much so Rove had Novak and Rush write and say how it would DESTROY the Republican party. DOOOOM it I say. According to a published report Rove called Lieberman three times last week pleading with him to remove his name from consideration. What does this say about his judgement. He cowtows to the very people who didn't want him all along. To make that rash of a decsion. That Gamble. I think it says alot about his temperment and his risk management. That's what the Obama campaign should highlight.

Me? you're the one who said McCain would be in the 30's. That's when I brought up the wager.

You'd have made more if you'd bought back in at 18 like i told you.

Mach you simply don't understand the dynamics of the republican party. Picking Lieberman would have done nothing for him. McCain needs the base to turn out. He cannot win without it. That's because there's not enough "moderates" out there to compensate for the base not voting.

He didn't make a rash decision, he made a smart political one. It remains to be seen if it pans out for him.

He wont be in the 30's but Obama will have him by 5.
