Yes, race is a silly reason to motivate a base that historically doesn't get too excited...

Election over; I'm taking the opportunity to shut down this monster thread.

(At least initially...) not after obama's done with it. that is what is scary about him. 3 times when asked on the SC he didn't understand what it was suppose to be for. that is what is scary.

Biden should wipe the floor with Palin, the problem is he'll probably go to hard and she'll get a sympathy win. In the presidential debates, Obama is probably at a disadvantage, but I don't think it's as bad as Muriel thinks.
