:rofl: Obama's funny. I don't even know exactly what he means but that's a good one. (He just said that in Asheville, NC)

I think it's a reference to all of the faux "aw shucks" populism BS that Palin does.

3. That's exactly what it means
I wish we had an audio--I can hear him saying it, like a patient parent reprimanding a small child for improper use of language!

8. Woohoo!!! Cut them off at the pass son!!! It's actually a...
..... reference to the personal attacks McCain is apparently about to launch this week. He's been saying that for a few weeks now. "They're gonna try to run the okie doke on ya" is aka "they're gonna try and fool you with some BS."

11. Okie doke ( or okie dokie) can have two meanings
it can mean, scam, bs, flimflam, etc.
or it can mean "okay" as in:

"I'll wash the dishes if you mop the floor"
"Okie doke, we can finish sooner that way"

16. He is peaking at just the right time. His speeches leave me in awe.
How can he just keep getting better and better?

After each speech all I can muster is OH MY GOD THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLY GREAT!
