Come on America! Do it! Elect McCain and Palin! You know you want to!
You will be able to hear the laughter from France.
Maybe it's because if it happens it's because of all the American housewives "just like her" voted for her. (But guess what, Mrs. Voter, you aren't qualified, either. Just because you identify with her, doesn't mean she's fit to run your country.)
Maybe it's because as all the networks replay footage of her interviews, the conservatives pop up everywhere screaming "elitist", "liberal East coast media", "conservative hater", "gotcha media". Or make up other excuses such as she's "overgroomed", "pumped full of facts and figures". The real question is when your party is running overtime making excused for your candidate instead of your platform, you're f&*cked.
I'm convinced the debate will be sleepy. All she needs to do, as people have pointed out, is come in without her clothes on backwards, and not wretch all over the mic, and she'll claw back some party support. Then they'll hide her squarely behind McCain's square shoulders for 33 more days.
By the way, I'm not sure why they didn't automatically elect McCain president. Did y'all forget how he selflessly parked his campaign to run to Washington and save the economy?
These are crazy time we live in.
All I know is I find my self unconsciously clutching my Canadian passport a little tighter these days.

ummmm....clutching your Canadian passport WHILE LIVING AND WORKING IN AMERICA. And not even just New York. Texas, no less. Let's be fair here. I agree that Palin's a joke, and that McCain has fallen mightily, but let's not get hyper-Canadian nationalist here...the fact is, you were there for well over a year, couldn't find a job/lifestyle that satisfied you, so you came to New York (in the USA), and have been much happier ever since.
Not entirely accurate, since I was not looking for a job/lifestyle for the last year...the opportunity in New York found me, and I decided to pounce. The happiness since moving is a function of a lot of factors - none of which have to do being the US.
After all, New York is American like Austin is Texan.
My goal is to have New York City and Montreal separate from their respective nations and form a new superstate of style: Phatlantica.
I would like to be the first to drive up property values in a speculative bubble of Phatlantica real estate (and possibly tech stocks). Anyway, fair enough, alls I's saying is that, to me anyway, you seem much happier now, living in the US and working for an American company than you did living in Canada working for a Canadian company. How much of each is due to national identities may be debatable, but you don't seem to be eager to flee the US. That's all.
Wyrd.
Agreed, I am not eager to flee the US. Not at all.
Increased happiness has been more from micro effects than macro, that's all.
And more Roxette.
