Scott, yes, I do think he was the only wise Senator.

Well that explains your extraordinary support of him.  For me, it stretches believability beyond the breaking point.  My own internal common sense tells me that at least a handful of others from his own party would have argued the case on his side.

No it does not. The bill covers children who are viable. A botched abortion is not viable.

If the child is issued a birth certificate and is born alive and could live if put in an incubator, it is viable regardless of how the child was born (normal childbirth or abortion).

So you think there are a bunch of abortions born alive that have nothing wrong with them and are just left to die?

The fact is the nurse made it up. It never happened. Name one verifiable case where it did. You know, one not made up by an avid anti-abortionist. The AG investigated and found no evidence of it.

Obama fought against the bill because there are already laws that cover children born alive. It was unnecessary. Name one state that allows such a practice to a viable fetus.

Cut into a corn field.

It's the aliens again...

If you play the debate backwards Mccain clearly says "Turn me on, dead man." and "I buried Paul"

Chris, for the first time ever, you made me laugh out loud!

This is the second time I've seen this topic brought up.  I don't think she would bow out because it would be the death nail in the coffin for McCain.  It would show that he really did not invest the proper amount of logic nor screening when selecting his VP.  She's getting the crap torn out of her in the press and after everything she opens her mouth, but she's not leaving nor would she be asked to leave.  I'm still talking with republicans who absolutely love her.  Apparently, they are not listening to her answer questions.   :)

You hit the nail on the head.  When I've had actual conversations with people who support Palin one-on-one, they usually haven't seen any of the interviews themselves (except possibly the one with Hannity).  They've only heard "how unfairly she's been treated by the press", fought Congress and her own party, is being smeared by Troopergate and sold the plane on eBay.  (All without fact-checking, BTW.)

On the other hand, I know many McCain supporters who are now expressing that they'll vote for Obama/Biden because they can't justify electing Palin (and the deeper issue of how it reflects on McCain's character/judgement).  And they're not happy about it.

Of course, I know other McCain supporters that are twisting themselves silly to get behind Palin for the sake of supporting their candidate.

What a weird election.
