: Seems like a pretty good offer for Caribou Barbi. The political career is in the toilet. She can't part with that wardrobe that she is supposed to give back (flannel plaid just won't do anymore!). Plus, Todd has been drooling over that Arctic Cat for years. Win-Win-Win. The big question is how are those evangelical men going to get away with watching it? You know they want to!

: I'm disappointed that this is headline-making news. Actually, I'm more disgusted that the offer was actually made. I'm by no means a Republican, but damn, people! Because a woman has made her way into a male-dominated role within the national spotlight, does it mean that she should automatically be subjected to every sexist pig joke, every female-bashing innuendo, or every rude, crude, socially unacceptable grunt and hand gesture??! This is sad, disgusting, and pathetic. It shouldn't matter what gender she is or even if she's not the brightest bulb on the strand. Hell, Dan Quayle ran and all that was said about him was some really bad potato jokes! C'mon people! It's one thing for the SNL skits, it's another to involve her, even if by name only, with any realm of adult "entertainment" industry. She clearly has not made that decision for herself. Mr. Cezar Capone should be admonished publicly by every woman, scratch that, every AMERICAN, that reads this article, not celebrated and pat on the back while sitting back to see if she takes the money. This was done solely to embarrass her and her family. In fact, I'm betting it's the RNC people behind all this because they need a scapegoat!

: Well she is a very attractive women regardless of her political affiliations or achievements. I don't think there are many who would not volunteer to assist in the endeavor.

: According to a NYTIMES article, by Janny
Scott, when Obama arrived in the Illinois
Senate as a brand new senator,
he was greeted with taunts,
name calling by his African American colleagues.

Obama's African American colleagues,
held it against him, that he was a graduate
of Harvard and that he was of mixed race,
he wasn't black enough.

They said so to his face.

It got so bad, that a shoving match ensued
between Obama and one of the principal
agitators.

Stanley Crouch piece in the NY Daily News

"Obama isn't black like me illustrates
the hostility that African Americans
in positions of power and influence within
our society had towards Obama.

What about Jesse Jackson's rude comment,
"I want to cut his nuts off"?

Jesse Jackson may have been crying when
Obama finally made it, but were those
tears of joy or rage, because he knows
he could never get it.

Obama is not an African
American in the traditional sense.

There is no Public School in any ghetto
that he attended anywhere in the urban
centers of the USA.

His formative years were spent
attending school in Indonesia.

He speaks well, eloquently, in perfect
command of the English language.
African Americans are coming out of the
woodwork, rallying around the Obama flagpole,
now, but a lot of them didn't do so in
the beginning.

He owes more to the whites in the Senate
that were his friends than the blacks that
turned their backs on him.

I like respect and like Obama a lot.

I have tremendous respect, admiration for Barack Hussein Obama.

I have contempt for those African Americans that
in their own words "gave Obama hell" when he first arrived
in the Illinois Senate, because he wasn't black enough,
in their opinion.

They are jumping all over him now, that he won.

: I think Sarah handled that caller pretty well,
even after she found out he was a crank call.
Kudos to her!

: Sarah has never gone out of the US, i think she is not qualified to be the best vice president.

: Growing up in East Harlem, I and most of
my friends, had very bad experiences with
African Americans.
They were bullies and we were the target.
Right now, my supervisor is an African
American male.
His body language, tone of voice,
and general attitude is like a pitbull,
aggressive.
I don't like it at all.
He proclaims to all and sundry that
Obama is his candidate.
I feel uncomfortable and so do others.
I like Obama, I think he is a better choice,right now, for the USA, than McCain.
But I don't know if I will vote for him,
I may vote for McCain.
All the whites and Asians in my office
are McCain voters, some of the hispanics,
but not all, will vote for McCain.
The blacks are all for Obama.

: I live in Orange County & commute 1 hour
each way to work in NYC on a daily basis.
Most of my upstate neighbors are voting
for McCain, some are voting for Obama.
I think McCain will get us into another
war with Iran, because of his AIPAC ties.
Most of my upstate neighbors think McCain
is for more war also and they don't want
that either.
But still a lot of them are voting for
McCain anyway.
Maybe in the end none of this really matters.
