Just got back from Biden speech in Langhorne PA
good speech... Biden/Obama are trying hard to stay on message and out of the media frenzy surrounding Palin. Biden really focused on the trouble that middle class, educated people are having these days paying the bills. Had some average people with him on stage telling their stories of how hard it is to make ends meet.

Mid level manager having problems finding a job. IT guy having trouble paying his bills. Everyone is just squeaking by. Middle class, educated people who are having problems normally associated with the poor: not paying bills on time, worrying about whether they can heat their homes, people not being able to fill up their tanks with gas cause they can't afford to.

I did notice that there are more women than what you would think who are turned on by Palin.

4. I'm just saying what I saw...
I am just looking in my own local area and I'm hearing things that I don't like. I am hoping that you are correct overall. Actually, I am hoping that some personal trash comes out and she withdraws early.

5. I'm not. He might choose better the second time. Palin's a loser.

6. In the long run, I don't want Democrats to get tarnished with sexism
this kind of mud can stick. I am in a swing county in a swing state. I would like Obama to get a message together on women.

2. I missed most of it from the CNN website. What did he say that got the crowd so fired up?
I'd say it was about 7 minutes before the Q & A period.

10. he put in blunt language what the economic impact is on families
and I mean middle class families who are "playing by the rules". AKA, it's April, and you just got the bill for college, do you know how you are going to pay for it? Story about a guy who doesn't know how much it costs to fill up his tank, because he never has the money to do it these days. Middle class families who aren't heating their homes in winter.

3. Jealous!
I watched it live on CNN.

The man rocked.

I can only imagine how wonderful it was, too see him live in your own state.

Awesome!

Why did you say that some women liked Palin? Was it just the comments that you heard
around you?

7. When You Say "Notice"
what does that mean? Did you speak to women at the speech, were they wearing Palin buttons or shirts?
