It's frightening to realize how often this happens... I hope she just ran off with her boyfriend, and that it was of her own free will. Scary. - Veronica

Ahhhhh... that's why you think McCain will win. I think 8 years, war & recession may sway the masses. - anna awesomesauce

Brian, lol. I have lived overseas for 4 years. Most Americans don't know how good they've got it. - Justin Long

mores the pity - ben rogers via twhirl

If you think that the majority of the populace will vote for the candidate who most approximates them, demographically, then Obama has no chance at all. But we know this is not the case. Furthermore, Barack Obama believes in God (not just "god") and I presume his daughters play organized sports. Finally: most Americans believe that the Iraq War was a mistake and *not* part of God's master plan. You might want to factor those facts into your predictive formula. - Chester

I love the idea that it isn't because people might actually agree with McCain on the issue - it must be because they are dumb fools who will vote for the folks with the hockey players. Let's ignore that this isn't how things have gone historically. At what point will folks on the left decide that just maybe folks who don't agree with them are well meaning humans with a different POV and not ignorant sheep? - Soulhuntre

@BDE if you do, let me know. I've heard living the digital nomad life in South America is the perfect expat way to go. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

Most American women are not former beauty queens...Most families do not have 5 children...And most Americans do not have such a fundamental view of Christianity - Barrack Obama Scoble

Actually Soulhuntre it is how things have historically worked...Take JFK vs Nixon for instance...there were a lot of people who voted for JFK just because he was more charismatic...it has been so ever since - Barrack Obama Scoble

Palin wins if Democrats are stupid enough to make her the main topic of the election. - Chris Baskind

I'm siding with the hopeful Scoble on this one. Have to because the alternative - Obama losing - is soul crushing. - Abby Martin

@Alex: Most people like prom and beauty queens. Most people have kids, it really doesn't matter the number. Most people are Christians and don't draw the distinctions between fundamentalist and non-fundamentalist because they don't need to. Also, I see no problem with having kids in sports programs...? - Ben Parr

Alex - Good point. Gore and Kerry had zero charisma. - Russellreno

I'm just pointing out how she is NOT like the average American. - Barrack Obama Scoble

@Chris Well then they lost, because it seems Dems are incapable of focusing on anything else except Palin, which is Ironic considering attacks against Hillary was the harshest form of sexism ever. - Jason Shultz via twhirl

@Alex - charisma I will agree with. Charisma is a synthesis of a number of human judgments that tend to convey trust, leadership, dominance and so on. But charisma is NOT "the same as me". Heck, Obama is easily the most charismatic guy in this field, despite is sameness handicap as Robert sees it. - Soulhuntre

Soulhuntre, since the Republican strategy for this election is to treat you like ignorant sheep, how do you expect us well meaning humans to believe any differently? Just sayin' - Joe the Plumber

I think most "most"s are mostly made up. - Craig Eddy

Did Soulhuntre just agree with me? I think he did. Cool. *this is a 100% snark free comment...seriously* - Barrack Obama Scoble

Two out of three here, but I'm still voting for Obama. Also, Chris Baskind is right: don't focus on Palin. Latest Obama ad indicates that focus is shifting back to McCain. - steplow is Steve

I wonder why Obama's focus is on Palin/McCain instead of on Obama? - Glen C

I agree with Glen. Let's not be distracted by the red herring Palin. Let's focus on Obama, and where is Biden? It's time he spoke up, like he does at other times. - Cathryn Hrudicka

Per your own words, most people have as much experience and relativity as Palin. This is why they won't vote for her:) W00t! - Roney Smith

That's an excellent point Glen. - Keith Shepard via twhirl

Robert, it really saddens me to hear you so pessimistic, but since the Palin pick embodies nothing so much as cynicism (as Frum says: It's a denial that information matters. http://tinyurl.com/4fsjxv ) yours is at least an honest, if hopefully transient response. I hope you feel better tomorrow. - Rick Powell

@Alex - I've agreed with you before on stuff I think. And I think the reading upside down thing rocks :) - Soulhuntre

@Jody C - obviously we have differing opinions on that :) Keep thinking we are idiots if you like - it is the core conceit that keeps democrats from making any headway. The core conceit that more often than not loses elections. - Soulhuntre

Scoble is coming off as pompous with that tweet. - David Risley

Soulhuntre, you misunderstand. I am not calling you idiots, merely pointing out that the misleading, untruthful ads put out by the McCain campaign lead me to think that Republicans think we are all idiots. Lets face it, they've treated us all that way since Bush's first campaign in 2000 (and subsequent promises broken), stepped it up on Sept. 11 leading up to Iraq war, and perfected it during the 2004 elections. - Joe the Plumber

I personally believe that in a few weeks this whole Palin crap will wear off/she'll really screw up. Obama is going to be our next President and that is great! - Mathew Ballard

No wonder you are losing followers. Sorry you really have wrong perception of democrats. Not everyone is a republican snob like yourself. A social media snob if i may add. Bye. - orionstarr

Robert: Thanks for keeping it real -- you are only stating the obvious and sometimes people just won't accept it. Sadly, Progressive and tolerant are two different things, I guess. - Jay Tannenbaum

re: passports specifically...it is also the reason why most americans shouldn't be Vice President - George Lee via twhirl

Robert is dead center. The side with the best propaganda and images win. Palin is walking, breathing propaganda and the democratic leaders are not good propagandists. Republicans win. If you want Obama to win, you have to hope for better propaganda that resonates with Mr. & Mrs. Middle. - Dean Terry

@Dean Terry So your saying most of the middle relates to white trash? - orionstarr

Orion: Good retort! - Jay Tannenbaum

I think it's sad to read someone not getting elected would be "soul crushing." Yes, elections are important, but they should not determine your happiness or lack of happiness. I was not happy to see Bill Clinton elected either time, but I never lost any sleep, never got depressed, never moved to Canada. I understand the desire to see Obama as today's John, Robert, and Martin, but he's none of the above. - Chuck The Plumber
