昨天晚上，奥巴马在丹佛市近8万人的集会上，宣布自己接受民主党提名，正式成为民主党总统候选人。
在此以前，奥巴马提麦肯的老友拜登做自己的副总统候选人。
拜登自己先后两次竞选总统，都是不战而退。提名拜登是为了弥补奥巴马在外交和国防上经验不足的缺陷，更重要的是奥巴马自己对付麦肯近来不断的负面进功有些招架不住。
毫不留情地有啥说啥是拜登最著名的商标。
今年初选时，拜登是第一个民主党提名候选里站出来说奥巴马经验不足背景不明不能当总统的。在最后的时刻让他当副总统提名人，而根本就不提希拉莉，奥巴马激怒了支持希拉莉的选民，特别是妇女选民。有几个铁杆分子在民主党全国大会期间串联要逼迫民主党党部提名拥有一千八百万选民支持的希拉莉破格当副总统候选人。虽然计划最后没有实现，但有相当一部分希拉莉的支持者决定转向投共和党的麦肯。
麦肯在拜登当选民主党副总统提名人后主动打电话跟老友祝贺。8月28日，当奥巴马在接受提名的演讲聚会对上麦肯进行不断进攻和指责时，麦肯发广告祝贺奥巴马获得提名，并表示在纪念马丁路得金的日子里，在黑人第一次当选美国大党总统提名人的历史时刻，歇战一天，不对奥巴马做任何进攻，明天再说。这一举动不仅显示了麦肯的大将风度，更让人知道麦肯绝对是有备而来，会有大举动。
果不其然，今天，令人跌破眼镜的是麦肯出乎意料之外地提年仅44岁的共和党新星阿斯加州美女州长葩玲做自己的副总统竞选人。
媒体对这个每年州长几乎是没有任何了解。在奥巴马演讲的第二天，所有电视里居然不再提奥巴马的历史性演讲，而是不短八卦谁会是麦肯的竞选伙伴，不能不说是麦肯的神来之笔。
老麦的这招太狠了，越琢磨越有滋味:
1。奥巴马要说葩玲没经验，他自己也没有。
2。奥巴马要说麦肯是老油条，拜登也是。
3。奥巴马当两年的议员，葩玲当两年的州长。议员每天就是扯蛋，州长可是要管理各个方面。
4。奥巴马本来是要拿拜登来攻击麦肯。拜登和麦肯是老朋友，就让老朋友之间打这件事可以看出奥巴马之用心。
5。拜登和葩玲辩论时没法象对其他人一样人身攻击，因为观众会看到他欺负妇女。
6。就这一点，可以看出麦肯的老谋深算。剩下就是麦肯 VS 奥巴马。麦肯会毫不留情地对奥巴马进行更猛烈的攻击。
7。支持希拉莉的妇女们本来就不喜欢奥巴马，选希拉莉是为妇女的地位争口气。现在，她们会转向支持麦肯，因为葩玲给妇女带来新的希望。
8。选民们可以觉得麦肯太老，但葩玲绝对抢眼。而奥巴马那些CHANGE的老一套总说来说去的也不新鲜了。 为了收视率，媒体从此会倒向麦肯阵营。
今年44岁的葩玲是五个孩子的母亲，坚定的保守派，反对坠胎，反对同性恋。她在很多方面同麦肯一样：两人都是不守党纪的独立的共和党，在很多问题上同本党唱对台戏。麦肯经常同民主党合作，同布什总统对着干。葩玲上台就整治共和党内部的腐败，首先拿共和党开刀。
更值得一提的是，两人都把自己的儿子送上伊拉克前线。在假话大话空话满天飞的今天，这一举动足以证明两人的爱国热忱不是要求别人而是从我做起。
葩玲自己酷爱打猎钓鱼，1984年获阿拉斯加小姐选美第二名。
不能不说，葩玲的出现令麦肯的竞选满目生辉，让人眼前一亮。
美国的大选正式进入最后的冲刺，谁主沉浮，拭目以待。

If you believe that after the past 8 years, Repubicans still deserve another term, it is your choice. Once again, McCain bowed to the republican base -- the evangelicals. This Palin, who does not believe evolution, who is pro-life to a point that she knowingly gave birth to a retarded child. McCain himself is a war freak.
You may argue that republicans will cut tax, shrink governement.... But, just examine what they are having been DOING, not just listen to what they are SAYING. Tax cut come with war, who pays the bill? Do we really want a small government who tells you what to do in your bedroom, what to do with your body? This is exact the direction the republican party is heading towards, more and more controled by those crazy evangelicals. It is no use to pretend that McCain will be different from Bush. Even if he wants to be different, he can't. It is a joke to pick a pretty Alaska government and claim the label of "change". However, it is a smart political move. That is what republicans are really good at.
The fact is this: We all know more or less the same thing, and we choose differently. My 2008 vote will be a anti-republican vote.
Obama is a "University of Chicago democrate", meaning: he is a democrate whom is accepted by prof. in the University of Chigao Deapartment of Economy. I assume that you know the reputation of that department.
"美国如今是内忧外患，国力衰竭，old McCain是无法胜任的，在布什8年共和党的领导下，将克林顿留下时的一片大好河山折腾得如此没落，也真是佩服他了"
Anyone who has a little bit common sense in economics knows that business and economics are always developing in cycles, down follwing up, up following down. The economic boom during the Clinton government benefit directly from Ronald Regon's tax cut policies. Only short-sighted people sees it as a static reflection of Clinton's "capability".
Bush's administration faced severe mideast terrorism attach and challenge almost from day one, which was directly herited from the loose control of Clinton administration on national security.
选年轻的VP，也许耳目一新，但又思想的人不由得需要多考虑一层，72岁的麦肯万一出状况，一个名义上市州长的人，实际那个州比绝大多数市都小，能否出任总统？令人忧虑的说
I have to say Palin's lack of experience in foreign policy and international affairs is a big setback for the Republican ticket. But where is Obama's experience? a tour visit to Europe and Mideast for 2 month! and he even refused to visit the wounded American solders in Iraq because that day there were no TV crew! Would you rather trust your tax money and kids' lives to some talker like him, or like Palin who might not has the "adequate experience now" but sent her 18-year-old son to Iraq, if we were to compare the "inexperience" of Palin and Obama. Plus, Obama is running for the chief-in-commander, and Palin is only for VP. I don't believe McCain would have any accident from Day 1 of his presidency, Palin is a very intelligent person and very quick learner, as shown from her past experience as major and governor (the only one with real executive experience among the 4!), she will pick it up very quickly, better than Obama's 2-month oversea coating!
这次，只能支持民主党了
Give it a second thought please! Just google and read more about Obama, you will be as scared and worried as me!
If you were to vote for Rockfeller Republican, you'd better stick with your libral Democratic vote. That makes no big difference. That's why they always lost in the primaries, even though McCain is close in some ways.
As for you comment "fiscally big spenders and socially conservative", I don't know who exactly you mean. McCain and Obama, who is likely to be a fiscally big spender??
非常同意你的每一条对奥巴马的总结！我也觉得奥巴马如果上台，对国家和经济的危害先不提，在个人操守上，一定是第二个陈水扁。他的多年好友，芝加哥地产商，Tony Rezko 在06年因操纵地方选举和信用欺诈入狱。而奥巴马夫妇在案发之前不久从他手里低价买入了他现在的百万豪宅！Rezko 同时还为奥巴马的竞选多次募捐，是他在芝加哥的重要筹款人之一！作为回报，Rezko 控制了当时芝加哥和公共医疗事业相关的地产开发。而当时奥巴马是州议会公共健康和人道服务委员会的主席！对了，Rezko 的资金中还有很大的中东背景。和他同时被捕的就有一个是伊拉克的商人。这样奥巴马何以在短短两年内从岌岌无闻的州议员变成全国政治明星，他的背景和资金来源就相当可疑。
Obama the idealist? what a joke! He was cultivated from the deep Chicago style corruption. Given more power, he would tear off his idealist paint quickly and be more greedy and corrupted than the Clintons! Suffered from childhood abandonment by his parents, especially the never-seen African father, twisted with his ambigiout identification, norished by his pastor's hate-America-liberate-blacks instruction for 20 years, are you expecting an innocent idealist growing from this strange fruit?
Wake up people! Voting for Obama this time is like drinking coolant together with the intoxicated crowd and participating a national suicide!!
Have you ever heard of Rockefeller Republican?
If you bring a candidate of that kind, I would vote for that person. But not the crazy ones we are offered: fiscally big spenders and socially conservative.
为了拉选票，置国家利益于不顾，达到了炉火纯青的境界。
有儿女的家长们都想一想，是否准备好让你们的子女替麦老儿当炮灰。
咱们走着瞧，这亚姐能替老麦风光几天！
I want some of the stuff you are smoking!
你我的分歧在于奥八马是什么人，他的政策是什么东东。
大白话简单说几句：
1。奥巴马是蒯大复。当年文革红卫兵头头。他的背后是肯尼迪家族和索罗斯财团。
2。他的自下而上的所谓变革，是煽动经济上目前处于劣势的低收入阶层对中上层收入阶层和大公司不满，要经行财富再分配。这对于鼓励竞争致富美国立国之本的资本主义体系是背道而驰的。
3。奥巴马赢希拉莉在最后阶段得到DNC的力挺，希拉莉的退出是被逼下去的。一个当才两年的年轻参议员信口雌黄到处许愿言行不一玩弄民意，跟台湾的陈水扁利用台独为自己上台是同出一辙。
4。假设奥巴马真不是上述之小人，那用克林顿说的话，他最多是一个天真的理想主义者。他的方针政策是乌托邦，面面俱到，充满了社会主义的思想。他把他自己看得太高太正确太了不起了。这种人当美国总统将是美国的灾难。
5。美国的立国之本不是你好我好大家好的自由主义和劳动人民当家作主的社会主义，而是勤劳致富，自由竞争，保护私人财产和自由的资本主义。奥巴马上台，一他不可能实现他的理想，二他的所谓变革将对美国的国力和社会大动脉造成严重的破坏。
6。从中国文革运动和台湾台独运动来看，群众性的政治运动都是祸国殃民，而搞群众运动的人没有一个是好东西。到头来，老百姓的日子该怎么样还怎么样，倒是那些既得利益者把自己给养肥了。
所以，下一届美国总统不能让奥巴马当。无论好莱坞和媒体有多么喜欢他，无论他的演讲有多么动听，无论选他会有多酷。他说的不是谎言就是天方夜谭。他将制造更多的赤字和混乱。
华盛顿要改革，美国的政体要改革，但立国之本不能变革。
政治不能代替经济，政治家不是企业家，政府不是万能的，工作机会不能靠政府来提供！
纳税人才是老板，保护好企业才能搞好经济，搞好国防才能保障国民的安全，才能提高国力。
希望美国完蛋的欧洲中东和其他国家当然希望奥巴马上台。好在这是选美国总统，美国公民才有说话的权力。
SAT YES TO MCCAIN!
SAY NO TO OBAMA!
选年轻的VP，也许耳目一新，但又思想的人不由得需要多考虑一层，72岁的麦肯万一出状况，一个名义上市州长的人，实际那个州比绝大多数市都小，能否出任总统？令人忧虑的说
这次，只能支持民主党了
and I am going to make sure that one count does not go to McCain.
right, I am glad your vote only counts once too.
Good thing is that it is not up to you.
It is sad, just look at Obama's fan, do they really understand this election is very serious matter? not really.
If people like Obama can be the President, I rather have a young conservative female President who can carry out common sense policies.
good point, thanks.
but i have to agree that democrats' chance is slim this time. too bad america might fall as all other powerful empires in history.
葩玲是五个孩子的妈妈， 不是四个. the youngest is only five months.
yeah, it could be an interesting even funny game show, unfortunately, it is our own money on the table.
Yes, I had the same thoughts. Finally, McCain's pick on Palin makes Obama/Binden look like pretenders, which are really who they are.
Talk is cheap, action takes courage! Obama is very good at talking and imaging. He is dangerous since he flip-flops to get elected.
Well, if that happens, then finally we have a female President in US!
"For starters, we'd say Governor Palin's credentials as an agent of reform exceed Barack Obama's." -- The Wall Street Journal
"A Reform Ticket"
Editorial
The Wall Street Journal
August 30, 2008
If any doubt remained that former fighter pilot John McCain loves to take unconventional risks, he put them to bed Friday by picking Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Introduced in Dayton by Mr. McCain, Governor Palin swung the bat pretty well. We'll now see if she can hit curve balls.
It's a daring pick because Mrs. Palin has never faced national scrutiny and hasn't had to deal with foreign policy. Most VP choices are designed to do no harm, and we tend to agree with the maxim. Democrats are already saying they can't wait for Mrs. Palin's debate against "statesman" Joe Biden. On the other hand, the record shows that Sarah Palin's political career is a case study in taking on the big boys. We suspect her record of fighting the status quo was uppermost in John McCain's decision.
Barack Obama aside, Senator McCain's biggest problem is a Republican brand that has suffered -- both among independents and the GOP base -- from the party's business-as-usual mentality in Washington. The public wants change. This pick could prove Mr. McCain is serious about changing his party.
Sarah Palin's reform resume would be remarkable in any political career. She entered politics at 28, winning a seat on the Wasilla city council as an opponent of tax increases. After she defeated Wasilla's three-term incumbent mayor four years later, she swept the mayor's cronies out of the bureaucracy.
In 2003, Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski appointed her to the state's Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Bear in mind that Mr. Murkowski had already served as junior U.S. Senator from Alaska for 22 years. Mr. Murkowski was junior senator for so long because Senator Ted Stevens (who was recently indicted for corruption) had lifetime tenure in the senior post.
Shortly after joining the oil and gas commission, Mrs. Palin commenced an ethics probe of the state's Republican party chairman, Randy Ruedrich, involving conflicts of interest with oil companies. The probe resulted in a $12,000 fine for the party chair.
She crossed party lines in 2004 to join a Democratic representative's ethics complaint over an international trade deal against the Republican Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who had ties to the Murkowski machine. Mr. Renkes resigned.
In late 2005, Mrs. Palin announced her run for Governor before then-Governor Murkowski had announced his intention to stand for re-election. In a three-way primary, Mrs. Palin got 51% to Mr. Murkowski's 19%. At the center of this campaign was a debate over competing proposals to build a natural gas pipeline across Alaska.
These columns wrote about Gov. Murkowski's smashing defeat by Mrs. Palin, noting that his pipeline proposal had been tainted by reports of sweetheart deals with energy companies. The editorial ended: "If Republicans are run out of Congress in November, one big reason will be that, like Mr. Murkowski, they have become far more comfortable running the government than reforming it." That is what happened, as disgusted GOP voters turned away from their own party and ceded control of Congress to the Democrats.
Against the odds, Mrs. Palin won that 2006 election against the state's former Democratic governor Tony Knowles. Most recently, she promoted the effort of her GOP lieutenant governor to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young, who with Senator Stevens created the earmark that sank the GOP, the notorious "bridge to nowhere."
Experience?
For starters, we'd say Governor Palin's credentials as an agent of reform exceed Barack Obama's. Mr. Obama rose through the Chicago Democratic machine without a peep of push-back. Alaska's politics are deeply inbred and backed by energy-industry money. Mr. Obama slid past the kind of forces that Mrs. Palin took head on. This is one reason her selection -- despite its campaign risks -- seems to have been so well received by Republicans yesterday. They are looking for a new generation of leaders.
Don't expect this remarkable personal Palin narrative to get an Obama-like break from the national media. Their main focus will be her lack of experience, claiming it undercuts Mr. McCain's criticism of Barack Obama. One mispronounced foreign leader's name, and she's going to be hammered.
If she can survive this gantlet, Governor Palin could help Mr. McCain with some liabilities of his own. The alternative would have been a ticket of two familiar GOP names in a political cycle where the Democrats have seemed to be the party of energy and freshness. A self-described "hockey mom" with a commercial-fisherman husband, Governor Palin will have more credibility with families than a Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee. With energy supplies and prices one of the top issues, Alaska's Governor also should bring some first-hand realism to the debate over drilling and the environment.
* * *
Senator Obama's acceptance speech made it clear that his campaign strategy is pegged to linking Mr. McCain to the Beltway Republicans and the struggling economy. It's a powerful argument, and John McCain needs an answer to Mr. Obama's list of Democratic bromides. The vulnerability in the Obama plan is there's little in it that is new. He'd mostly replace one status quo with an earlier status quo of government spending schemes. Joe Biden is no help on that.
Mr. McCain's instinct clearly is to offer himself to voters as a reformer. With Sarah Palin, a genuine reformer, Mr. McCain may have found the right idea and the right person to make his run.
haha. 5. one just came this year, not in the picture :)
After listening to/ watching her interviews/speeches, I'm definitely impressed. Now the question is, is two monthes enough for American people to get to know her well enough and accept her as an electable VP and potential chief-in-commander? Obama did it from a nobody to a national popstar in a year, she is more charming, very intelligent, strongly conservative, and definitely healthy and positive, I don't see why she can't!
Now she is talking about oil drilling process and technology like a real expert on TV, the CNBC woman report looks really slow and dull compared to her. Oh I really like her now.
And when she talks about her husband and his job, you can't ignore the big smile from heart.
曾经非常担心奥巴马的上台，你看看他身边那个面目狰狞的夫人形象，就知道奥巴马是一个很善于伪装的人。再看看他对希拉里的疯狂攻击，希拉里败了以后为了大局利益她还这么有风度地支持他，他反过来却抛弃了希拉里，选自己对手的朋友作助手，让老朋友们之间相互斗！看见此人之阴险。再看看他一会说自己是穆斯林（去非洲老家认祖宗），还去阿富汗（是不是和本拉登搞联络？）一会说自己是基督徒的，可是你看看他的黑人牧师也是他的主婚牧师那个嚣张的气焰，恨不得把白人和富人都消灭了。
现在，我不用担心了，奥巴马已是穷途末路了。美国大选的好戏就要开始了。
哈哈， 葩玲是四个孩子的妈妈， 不是五个.
Most Hillary's supporters believe DNC forced her out, very angry.
well said indeed.
本来也觉得老麦危险了，现在看真是有勇有谋。
Thanks.
姜还是老的辣，美国交给老麦比较稳妥。
--------------其实支持希拉里不仅仅因为她是女性，很多人认为她的大气不亚于一个伟大的男人。
听听她支持奥巴马的演讲，为她喝彩。
到底是军人出身，老麦这一仗打得不是一般的漂亮。
看电视很替小奥郁闷——他的风头全被老麦佩林这一对给抢走了。
佩林看起来不是个空壳美眉，挺tough的，太好了，如此大选的看头将不逊色于初选了。
谢好文。
You will see, McCain is not Bush, no matter what Obama said.
This John McCain will have new stuff for Obama.
Now let the show begin~~~
Finally John McCain forced Obama into corner and gave Hillary's supporters a chance to make the history: A female VP (President if anything happens to John McCain.)
