@cphares Wow. Just wow. #
@jeffreykain definitely spunk. Even if McCain/Palin lose this one, she’ll be on the national stage for many years to come. #
@jeffreykain No doubt they will regroup. Certainly the next few months will be quite interesting! #
@cphares must…. resist… #
@cphares Microsoft thinks they’ll make it up with volume. #
@tdibble Should he be proud of that? Thanks for checking #
@tdibble np… when I twitted that earlier I thought it was funny, but didn’t believe it to be accurate. I think the term is ’satire’? #
@leehinde I figured he was being (or trying to be) funny. ah well. #
@tdibble You may hope! #
Wondering if any of the Obamaniacs will be watching O’Reilly tonight? #

@tdibble How about John Edwards as VP candidate? #
@jeffreykain Happy to know I am able to entertain you. #
@tdibble secessionist? That smear was debunked yesterday. #
@tdibble RE: Edwards… one term in any public office, presidential candidate, trial lawyer. Most impressive. #
Question for my friends who are negative on Palin… will you watch her speech tonight? #
@tdibble I watched Obama’s speech live. #

Mike Huckabee: “Sarah Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla than Joe Biden got running for President.” #

@leehinde common ground? And what accomplishment(s) does he have that demonstrate any history here? #
Palin! How ’bout that glass ceiling… woo hoo! #
The HillaryClintonForum likes Palin: http://tinyurl.com/5pkhpz #
Palin has a striking resemblance to Tina Fey #
Heh: http://tinyurl.com/5hyn7p #
@leehinde “lack of experience attacks?” — Isn’t Obama running for President, not VP? Just wondering if I missed something #
@leehinde and the comparison of Palin’s experience to Obama’s is quite interesting… #
@leehinde I think her experience and qualifications exceed Obama’s… I’m surprised this is coming up actually. #
Heh: from Redstate: “Sarah Palin runs the largest state. Barack Obama runs his mouth.” #
@leehinde See http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/family/danquayl.htm #
@leehinde and http://tinyurl.com/5ft4wp #
@leehinde any specific NYT article, or should we pick one at random? #
@leehinde article is ok. As I said previously I think Palin’s experience and qualifications exceed Obama’s. #

Why Does Obama Want to Censor This Ad?

Rich — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 22:50:42 +0000

I don’t understand why Obama wants to censor this ad.

The content is factually correct, not distorted. And the Obama objections have only served to induce more people to watch it, and learn of his connections to his friend of 20 years.

The ad is from the American Issues Project.

Their response to Obama’s censorship demand is posted here.

@leehinde you can make your own ringtones in Garage Band and iTunes, btw. Don’t need to buy them from iTunes. #

@luigid ah, I wondered about that. DRM. Works with music from your CDs. #
