The thrill factor
Arkansas News Bureau ^ | 8/30/2008 | Doug Thompson

Any chance Barack Obama would carry Arkansas dried up Friday.

Neither Obama nor his running mate, Joe Biden, could come to Arkansas without Bill or Hillary and draw much more than a polite crowd. New GOP vice presidential pick Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska could. She'd have to go to the Embassy Suites in Rogers, the corporate hanger out at Northwest Regional Airport or the Springdale Convention Center, but she'd draw one. I could see her in a duck blind in Stuttgart wearing camo and an NRA cap, too.

GOP candidate John McCain united his party by picking this conservative darling. Obama's still trying to heal clear rifts in his.

Arkansas will turn Red without the Hildabeast on the ticket.

The Dems won't carry the South either. Just two more northern Yankees on that ticket... and do people get they are liberal? The smart money is Bin Biden won't carry the old Confederate 11 plus Oklahoma. And you can take that to the bank!

Its like West Virginia. Solidly Dem on the state level but voters are culturally conservative. Obama and Biden are seen as elitists in Little Rock and elsewhere in the state.

NObama can't boot Scrappy, the lovable scamp. Action like that will resound with "Me Too!" -ism. It would be seen as a not-too-well camouflaged effort to mimic McCain.

No, if anything, Biden will resign his position of the Dim ticket due to "threat of another Aneurysm", "Complications from previous Aneurysm". But even that dredges up nightmares of 1972 and the Eagleton affair.

And I can't see Hillary stooping that low to accept a second-rate, second chance offer after the Palin fact.

No, Nobama is gonna have to ride this one out and the Dims are praying that Biden keeps his foot out of his mouth and doesn't completely embarrass himself and the ticket t the VP debate. It's connumbdum

Osama/Biden hasn't got a chance in Oklahoma. They may carry little Dixie in the SE part of the state, but they will take a 70/30 thumping statewide. - red

Maybe I’m a gullible wishful-thinker, but at this point, I don’t think it makes much difference WHAT Obama/Biden do.

I think McCain ate Obama’s lunch at Saddleback; and when he announced and introduced Sarah Palin on Friday, that constituted filling Obama’s empty lunch sack with water and dumping it on his head.........and then stripping the soggy sack down over his EARS...even!

I saw it more like giving the annointed one an atomic wedgie.

The two Senators with the worst history of gun grabbing are in deep kimchi in the South.

And I’ve noticed that the pick of Sarah Palin has really energized John McCain, he seems like a different man now, no more mumbling and all that, like the fire in the belly went up or something.
