"It's like a really bad Disney movie, 'The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president," said Damon. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."~ Matt Damon
Bardot pounced on Ms Palin's depiction of herself as a pitbull wearing lipstick, saying she “implored” her not to compare herself to dogs.
“I know them well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal for that matter is as dangerous as you are,”
~ Brigitte Bardot
RandomThots isn't much of a Republican supporter and even less so a Sarah Palin fan. She does provide a whole treasure trove of female Bushisms though. Haha.. Who would've thought there'd be 2 presidential candidates like that? Oh America, you never disappoint...“I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor. Which is probably all she is qualified to be… Also interesting that she got her passport in 2006.. And that she is not fond of environmental protection considering she’s FOR drilling for oil in some of our protected land…. Well hey, if she wants to drill for oil, she should DO IT IN HER OWN backyard. This really shows me her complete lack of real preparation to become the second most powerful person in this country…Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?”

"I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to secede from the United States. She was part of a campaign to secede Alaska from the United States of America. So I’m glad she’s back, putting America first. I also thought it was disingenuous for her to open with her record on the Bridge to Nowhere. When she was running for governor in 2006, she was all for the bridge and once she won she was against the bridge, this was also a woman who wanted books banned. I just find it extraordinary."

haha yeah.. it just beggars disbelief that someone running for a position potentially just a heartbeat away from being the head of the most powerful nation on earth can come up with such comments. I mean, not being able to name a single publication she reads, and claiming that she can see Russia from her doorstep gives her foreign policy experience (which btw, she hasn't been to that island which has a view of russia), and recently she's been proven to be unethically using her power to fire the state trooper. And yet she had the guts to say that she had been vindicated as the investigation found "no unlawful or unethical activity on my part". You watch her interviews with Katie Couric, it's embarrassing how clueless she is.. Even someone commented that Paris Hilton would be able to name a publication she reads. Though to her credit she can really memorise answers, and pulled off a commendable VP debate.
On the other hand Mccain, all he says is he's a maverick, and everything related back to he's a POW bla bla, he has the worst voting record in the senate, he disrespectfully addressed obama as "that one" in the debate, he falls asleep in senate, etc.
Looks like obama's on the cusp of becoming the first black US president. Polls show him pulling ahead everywhere, and with the economy currently in tatters, obama will prob win. As history has shown, the economy (and hence money in ppl's wallets) is what matters most. Though there is a counter claim about obama of which the article i cant find based on the book, "The Case Agaisnt Barack Obama". Maybe politicians are politicians after all. Look at Badawi, the sweetest talker so much so that he had the biggest mandate ever, but he can just talk not perform, and now he has the lowest approval.
okay, i think this is already too long a comment.. haha
p.s. here's some a link detailing a nice story about obama a long time ago.

And have u seen the hypothetical scenario whereby the whole world gets a say in who becomes the next US president, called the Global Electoral College. Looks like obama's winning be a landslide.
